Surprise. Lara Downes is hosting a classical music show on KUSC. Weekdays 8PM-Midnight Pacific time.

I use the KUSC app. KUSC also streams on https://www.kusc.org/

Here's Lara's web page:

Wikipedia says:

Lara Downes is an American classical pianist and cultural activist who has made the popularization of classical music by women and black Americans one of her causes. She was selected as the Classical Woman of the Year for 2022 by a poll of listeners to the radio program Performance Today.

Lara Downes
Weekdays 8PM – Midnight
Resident Artist

Lara Downes is a sought-after performer, Billboard Chart-topping recording artist, producer, arts advocate, and the host of Evening Music weekdays from 8PM to midnight on KUSC and KDFC. As a pianist and radio host, she gets inspiration from rethinking classical legacies and excavating the life of classical music in America. In addition to Evening Music, she hosts specials, streams, and videos series, like Amplify, for Classical California.


TECH NOTE:
I use the KUSC mobile app, which thankfully still runs on an old ipod that can't be updated. (so I don't have to tie up newer stuff)
