  • Nick Laustrup

    Intern: Winter/Spring 2025

    Originally from San Francisco, CA, I am in the final stretch of my post-bacc Computer Science degree from Oregon State University. Prior to returning to school, I worked briefly in Digital Marketing and completed a Business Administration degree from San Francisco State University. I am an avid traveler having served in the US Army and being stationed in Germany, I saw as much of Europe and the world beyond as I could in four and a half years.  I am an appreciator of music and the arts, even briefly completing a stint as an aspiring theatre actor during my undergrad. Outside of work, you can find me tearing up the karaoke room. I enjoy building computer programs, gaming, hitting the gym, and taking my dog on hiking trips. I’m excited to learn more about the classical radio world and the technology that is used here.

    Intern: Winter/Spring 2025

    I am a recent Oregon State University graduate in Digital Communication Arts, who also enjoys playing guitar and writing music. Growing up in Oregon, my family often put on All Classical Radio, so I have many fond memories of listening. I found this internship through Oregon State, and I am excited to learn as much as I can during my time at the station. I feel a connection to classical music because I started my music journey with some classical guitar at Portland Community College. I also participated in high school choir and performed at various locations including the Grotto. In my free time, I enjoy cooking and listening to podcasts or audiobooks. I spent several years diving into audio production as well, taking many classes at both Portland Community College and Oregon State in the subject. I look forward to contributing to the arts community and improving access to the arts. I am especially excited to be part of such a positive community of knowledgeable people.

    Originally from Las Vegas, Nevada, I am currently a master’s student at the University of Oregon in Music Performance. As an orchestral musician, I have performed with various ensembles including the Eugene Symphony, Rogue Valley Symphony, Reno Philharmonic and more. Before moving to Oregon, I received my bachelor’s in music education from the University of Nevada, Reno. I have had the privilege of studying and performing alongside amazing musicians and pedagogues, as well as having wonderful experiences in classroom teaching and private lessons. I am a member of the nonesuch.reed quintet, a Eugene-based music ensemble and nonprofit organization that caters towards the Pacific Northwest community through collaboration with local artists and composers and curating educational music programs. I am looking forward to being an intern with All Classical Radio and ICAN and I’m excited to learn new skills to better serve my career and community.

    I am a recent graduate of the master’s program at the University of Oregon for Multimedia Journalism, and have completed work in Ghana with a local radio station which helped me learn how to elevate community stories. Presently, I collaborate with the Journalistic Learning Initiative to help students to write and publish articles with Black Student Magazine. When not working, I enjoy a good book with my cats snuggled beside me or learning a new language.

    Intern: Winter/Spring 2023

    I am a third year student at Portland State University majoring in Music Education and Violin Performance. I began playing the violin when I was 8 years old in Salem-Keizer School Districts, and I was given so many opportunities to be in many ensembles, honor groups, and meet a lot of wonderful music teachers along the way. When I am not in school, I am spending time together with my favorite dog, Oliver the Pug. I have recently found a hobby of baking, and have learned to bake macrons, croissants, and Mexican conchas. I am thrilled to be the All Classical Portland intern and cannot wait to collaborate with all the wonderful people that work here!

    Intern: Winter/Spring 2022

    I’m currently in Eugene Oregon, attending the University of Oregon, studying Marketing and Spanish. In my free time I like to create art, cook, and bake. While I am not musically talented myself, I do have a great appreciate for music and am excited for this opportunity to work with All Classical Portland and ICAN. My favorite part about music is that it can explain any feeling and that there is always music to fit any situation. Along those lines, I love to make overly specific playlists that fit all my moods and remind me of different events or people in my life. This internship is important to me because it gives me to opportunity to connect with my community and learn more about the music and radio industry.

    Intern: Summer/Fall 2021

    Spreading the joy of performing arts and the accessibility of music education are both lifelong missions that I hold close to my heart. Growing up in Vancouver, Washington, I was always grateful for All Classical’s inspiring presence across the river. Today, as I pursue my bachelor’s degrees in Business Management and Administration at Oregon State University, I’ve had the privilege of minoring in Music Performance and sharing my love for piano and oboe through Wind Ensemble, Chamber Winds, and the Corvallis Symphony Orchestra. Musical volunteer opportunities through local hospitals and retirement centers have shown me that every composition has the power to bring strangers of all ages together. I’m honored that my music and business experiences thus far have culminated in an internship with All Classical Portland and the International Children’s Arts Network. Contributing to All Classical and learning more about the radio industry is so exciting, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds!

  • Kathleen Forrest

    Kathleen Forrest

    Intern: Spring 2021

    I’m a history major at Willamette University, with a special appreciation for art history in all its forms. I love visual art, theater, literature, and (as you may have guessed) music. While I’m not a musician myself, I believe that doesn’t have to prohibit someone from enjoying music or understanding it at great depth. I’m interested in anything and everything I’ll have an opportunity to learn through this internship, but especially when it comes to arts outreach and community engagement. Regardless of going to school an hour away Portland is still home, and I’m thrilled to be able to stay involved with the arts community. I’ve previously volunteered at the Portland Art Museum and Lan Su Chinese Garden, and before that I worked for Post5 Theatre. I’ve been a listener of All Classical Portland since I was a kid, and I’m so excited to be a part of making classical music more accessible and better understood.

    Intern: Fall 2020

    I am from Spokane, Washington, and moved to Oregon to attend Oregon State University. I fell in love with Oregon’s weather, the opportunity to meet new people, and the overall inclusive vibe that Oregon natives live by. I am a senior at Oregon State University, studying Marketing with an interest in the Entertainment Industry. My interest in classical music started in 4th grade when the high school band came to showcase each instrument and recruit us to participate in the orchestra. I immediately fell in love with the sound of the flute. I spent 4 years playing the flute for our school districts orchestra, working my way to second chair. The flute gave me opportunities to make lasting friendships and learn different types of music.

    Intern: Summer 2020

    A lifelong portlander and junior at PSU, music has always played a major role in my life. I was raised by musical parents who started taking me to rehearsals on my second day on Earth, and my appreciation from the arts has only grown from there. I’m an avid choir kid, currently singing at PSU in my thirteenth choir to date, and in the last several years I’ve had opportunities to sing at Carnegie Hall, on Sarah Brightman’s 2019 tour, on the streets at a renaissance festival, and much more. I’m also an avid playwright and director, and am working on my degree in Sonic Arts and Music Production. All Classical has graced my ears for years, and I am beyond excited for the opportunity to work with the station and ICAN radio this summer. Looking forward to good things ahead!
