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.

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.
Over the years when travelling from Portland to visit family in North Dakota, we always drove via Lewiston/Clarkston on Hwy #12 along the Lochsa & Clearwater rivers in Idaho. The scenery is beautiful and it is along part of the route taken by Lewis & Clark when they traveled to the Pacific. This music flows - just as the rivers do - sometimes smoothly and other times more roughly. The beauty of this region is quite breath-taking and we always have cherished the memory of it. We often stopped at sites designated as Lewis & Clark stopping places along the way, too! Such great memories!
