All Classical Radio has opened an invitation to community members to take part in the public grand opening of its new Media Arts Center and broadcasting headquarters at KOIN Tower in downtown Portland.

At the grand opening guests can enjoy cider and cookies, youth activities, and All Classical’s gift shop, while mingling with their favorite radio hosts and fellow music lovers. All Classical Radio is currently accepting names on a waitlist for free timed-entry tours of its new broadcast studios, which will include several live performances.

In May 2023, All Classical Radio announced its plans to move to a larger office space with modernized production studios to support its evolution as a thriving arts and culture network, the first network of its kind in the nation. The 15,000 sq ft space includes five state-of-the-art production studios, including the Moonflower Studio dedicated to youth programming and mentorship, and the Irving Levin Performance Hall, a multi-functional performance venue.

“We are thrilled to welcome the public into our modernized Media Arts Center in downtown Portland. At every step of building this center, we prioritized enhancing our radio service and programming, expanding arts access and youth education, and providing an unparalleled space to gather around the arts,” says All Classical Radio’s President and CEO Suzanne Nance. “This is an exciting time for All Classical Radio, and for our community of listeners and supporters near and far. We’re looking forward to a bright future for classical music, radio, and the arts,” she continued.

This free and festive public event will take place on Dec. 8, between noon and 3 p.m. local time, in the main lobby of KOIN Tower.
