Classical Minnesota Public Radio announces changes to its summer schedule

Jun 8, 2010

As the last Minnesota Orchestra and St. Paul Chamber Orchestra broadcasts of the 2009-2010 have come to a close (but will return again in the fall), Classical MPR has made some changes to its summer schedule.

Bill Morelock now joins listeners as host weekday nights 6-11 p.m. "SymphonyCast" has moved to a new day and time, Sunday afternoons 1-3 p.m. "The Opera," "The New Releases" and "St. Paul Sunday" are taking a summer break. "Pipedreams "has moved to 6-8 a.m. Sunday mornings, and Valerie Kahler will now host Sunday evenings 6 p.m.-midnight.
