Thanks to journalist James Bash and Oregon ArtsWatch for recognizing All Classical Radio and our 2026-2027 Artist in Residence, Anthea Kreston.

Kreston, a staple of the Oregon classical music scene, discusses her new book and her life in music.

“[Kreston] is especially happy to be the current Artist in Residence at All Classical Radio, and to reconnect with Fred Child, who is its President & CEO.

‘Fred Child was one of my big supporters in my 20’s, when I was just starting my career with the Amelia Piano Trio as artist-in-residence for ‘Performance Today,’ ‘ said Kreston. ‘We spent a whole week with him in Washington D.C., giving live concerts and interviews every day. That was at the same time when we were just starting to tour with Yo-Yo Ma, and Isaac Stern was helping us out. So Fred really brought my career to a national level.’ “
