Five O’Clock Favorite
Every weekday at 5:00 PM PT
Every weekday at 5:00 PM PT, All Classical Radio and host Christa Wessel invite listeners to be part of the programming. During the Five O’Clock Favorite, you’ll hear a listener-suggested piece of music along with a personal story about their choice. With pieces that are fun and familiar, music for remembrance and reflection, and everything in between, the Five O’Clock Favorite is a perfect way to ease your commute, end your workday, or start off your evening soundtrack on All Classical Radio.
Your Host
Christa Wessel
Weekdays at 5:00, you’ll find me in my happy place on the radio: sharing your Five O’Clock Favorite. This special program is an opportunity for me to celebrate listeners’ memories and favorite pieces of classical music. Our stories connect us to each other, and this daily segment allows us to hear what’s in the hearts of our friends and neighbors. I hope you’ll submit your suggestion for a future Five O’Clock Favorite!

Suggestions are easiest to honor if they’re 20 minutes or less.
As a young man listening to this piece, I was thrilled with the trills and arpeggios coming through the headphones connected to a WalkMan while riding a bus to work and back in 1983. I do not miss the bus rides. Nor, in fact, do I miss the workplace of that time. I DO, however, still love the music. Anything, any single at all from that collection, would be a perfect Five O'Clock Favorite. Thank you!
