Thank you to Charles Rose for the thoughtful and illuminating review of Makrokosmos Project 11 GLASSwerks!

All Classical Radio has supported Makrokosmos Project since our first festival in 2015. With the scrapping of funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting All Classical will lose $500,000 which accounts for %10 of its operating budget. Please support this amazing station if you can.

This is a difficult moment. On July 17, federal funding was eliminated for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB). All Classical Radio is losing $500,000 in critical annual support that was previously approved or 10% of our operating budget. If you believe in the power of All Classical to uplift, inspire, and connect, please make a donation today.
