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.
In 1970 my Mom got a brand new Chevrolet Impala. The car came with an 8 track tape player, and included with the car was a demonstration tape that had an eclectic array music. One selection was Aaron Copland's Hoedown from the ballet Rodeo. I can recall listening to that tape and getting the shivers each time that piece was playing. I absolutely love it! Later in my life I came to even enjoy it more because it's not only Classical Music, it's American Classical Music.
