“Saturday Matinee was one of the first programs on All Classical that really grabbed me when I happened onto it a decade ago. It’s a real treasure and one of many things that make this station unique. I’m honored to carry on Ed Goldberg‘s great work.”

ABOUT WARREN BLACK
When I visited Portland for the first time, I decided that I wanted to live here. It would take about 15 years before I pulled it off. It’s a similar story with radio: I hosted a four-hour classical show during my freshman year of college, but many years would pass before I joined the staff of KCUR (the NPR affiliate in Kansas City) as an announcer and producer.
During those two overlapping intervals, I worked as a writer, editor, actor and voice-over artist in San Francisco, New York, Chicago and Seattle. The one unifying theme in all that time and throughout my life has been music: participating in it as a singer, writing about it, or appreciating it from the audience.
The world can be a mixed-up place. But with persistence and luck you can arrive where you’re supposed to be, doing work that you love.
Saturday Matinee airs weekly from June through November at 10:00 AM PT. Listen at 89.9 FM in Portland or worldwide through our website’s player.
