Yes, I'm interested in recording a Member testimonial for Minnesota Public Radio.  

MPR News Informs

Support from Members empowers informative programming like In Focus on MPR News, a series that brings attention to the persistent racial disparities that exist in Minnesota – and what can be done about them. Recent discussions included how to get first-time voters to the polls, COVID learning loss in Minnesota schools, and student mental health in K-12 education.

As Minnesota’s only statewide network, we work hard to provide trusted journalism and high-quality programming to nearly 1 million Minnesotans free of charge, every single day. We can only do this because you choose to support our public service so generously.

YourClassical MPR Inspires

With your investment, YourClassical MPR is inspiring the next generation of classical musicians and music lovers. Class Notes supports teachers through free music education resources, including lesson plans and in-school concerts. Visit their recently updated website here.  

YourClassical also welcomed Vernon Neal, the new host of Rhapsody in Black, a podcast where we turn up the voices of Black artists in the world of classical music. You can learn more about Vernon and the podcast here.

Steve writes, I am always amazed by the passion of young people who apply to co-host for Project DJ. My spirit is renewed each week by the joy they bring to the microphone.  

Thanks for keeping classical music alive for generations to come.  

The Current Includes

The Current’s dedication to our audiences — to you — is unwavering, today and always. We’re putting in extra effort to provide you music that you don’t just listen to, but that you experience as part of a community. 

This summer, The Current invites listeners out to a series of happy hours at local breweries to enjoy refreshments and live music with fellow community members.

Thank You for Powering the Future of MPR

Membership support is the most important source of funding here at MPR. Your financial support powers the headlines, stories, and music that you and your neighbors rely on. Thank you for partnering with MPR to provide this vital community resource.

Nearly 75 cents of every dollar comes back to you in programming.
