One of the longest running shows on American radio, Opera Is My Hobby
debuted on Kansas Public Radio (then KANU) in September 1952, during
the very first week the station was on the air!
Every week, Dr. James Seaver selects recordings from his vast
collection of LPs, CDs, 78s and even wax cylinder recordings for
programs spotlighting legendary performers of the past, as well as up- and-coming singers. Recent shows have included tributes to tenor
Jussi Bjoerling and soprano Elisabeth Schwartzkopf, highlights from
the Victor Blue Label recordings from the early 20th-century, plus
excerpts from Mozart's The Magic Flute and Johann Strauss's Die
Fledermaus.
Kansas Public Radio provides local classical music programming weekdays from 9:00am to 3:00pm and 6:00pm to 9:00pm, in addition to such weekly offerings as Opera Is My Hobby and St. Paul Sunday.
In addition, our programming is often spiced with live musical performances from KPR's Live Performance Studio! To view classical music playlists, listen to recent in-studio performances or to make a request for Friday's Listeners Choice.
