Friday Happy Hour

Friday Happy Hour

First Friday of each month at 5 PM PT

Hosts Warren Black and Christa Wessel invite you to start each month with music, good company, laughter, and all the puns you can… Handel. All Classical Radio’s Friday Happy Hour airs the first Friday of every month at 5:00 PM PT. It’s classical music… with a twist! 

You’ll hear unique interpretations of old favorites, a “Twin Spin,” fun conversation, and previews of what’s coming up on All Classical Radio. Raise a glass and enjoy a perfectly paired musical cocktail to kick off the weekend, and start your month on a high note. 

Tune in at 89.9 FM in Portland or anywhere in the world via our website’s live player.

Hosting Friday Happy Hour brings together two of my favorite things in life: nerding out about music and hanging out with my good friend Christa Wessel. Both of those things have led us to discover fascinating fresh takes on the standard classical repertoire, which we are happy to share with you. I’ve been helping listeners start their day as All Classical Radio’s morning host since 2018, and on Happy Hour, I enjoy sharing a fun soundtrack to wrap up the week and kick off the weekend.

One of my favorite things about All Classical Radio is the diverse array of music and programming. Friday Happy Hour is a perfect example of what the station does best: sharing handcrafted playlists and programs you’ll hear nowhere else. Plus, I enjoy spending time with friends – like our community of listeners, as well as my Happy Hour co-host Warren Black.
