“Art is a priceless gift, Music the deepest, perhaps the original language. At KCSN we believe that it is your birthright to have access to the entire history of classical music: from the Middle Ages and before to the most recent experimental work of the 21st century. Welcome to over 1,000 years of Great Music - at 88.5 you'll hear a delicate balance of ancient, baroque, classical, romantic, modern, minimal and beyond. You deserve better classical radio, and at KCSN, that's what we are proud to offer you”. - Martin Perlich, Program Director.
Listen to Classical Music weekdays from 6am to 6pm on KCSN 88.5 FM.
Evening and weekend programming shifts to the grand tradition of authentic folk-based Roots music for which America is justly famous: Bluegrass, Blues, Traditional Roots, Eclectic Americana, Swing, Folk-Rock, Surf and Broadway music. All of KCSN's program hosts are highly knowledgeable and deeply passionate about the music they present.
You will hear artists like Johnny Cash, Roy Acuff, Bill Monroe, Sarah Vaughn, Billy Holiday, Dean Martin, Duke Ellington, Bernadette Peters, Dick Dale, The Who, The Grateful Dead, Pink Floyd, Lucinda Williams, and the great Carter Family. Oh, and always one from Bob Dylan. The Roots of Americana.
