New at Noon

Every weekday at 12:00 PM PT

Every weekday at 12:00 PM PT, All Classical Radio presents an original feature, New at Noon. During New at Noon, host Brandi Parisi will share new recordings of beloved favorites and rising stars in classical music. This lunchtime feature shines a spotlight on new composers, newly recorded works, fresh takes on classic favorites, and even music never before played on the station. It’s an exciting way to explore classical music together in the middle of your day, lift your spirits, and grow your love and appreciation for the future of this artform.

Your Host
Brandi Parisi

As host and producer of several programs on All Classical Radio, I curate and share music that brings together a variety of terrific regional performances by orchestras, chamber groups, choirs, soloists, festivals, and even experimental new artists. New at Noon gives me a chance to celebrate up and coming musicians and the bright future of classical music. It’s a time to dive into the vibrant music from this region and beyond, and it’s a joy to make it available to listeners around the world on All Classical.
