  • KDFC 2019 Annual Report (PDF)
    KDFC’s Mission We celebrate classical music and its power to enrich the lives of people at all phases of life, to bridge differences and to strengthen our Northern California community. “My two year old daughter and I listen to KDFC every morning on the way to preschool. We have something new to discuss with every chosen piece. It is a great learning experience for the both of us. Thank you for enriching our mornings”. 2 2 —Rohini, Menlo Park Classical KDFC President, Bill Lueth In the Spring of 2019, the ground was officially broken on the future of KDFC. By late summer of 2020 we will be broadcasting from our new studios in San Francisco in the San Francisco Conservatory’s new Bowes Performing Arts Center directly across the street from the San Francisco Symphony and Opera in the heart of the city’s cultural arts hub. This is a transformational time for Northern California’s hometown classical station. It is rare for a major classical radio outlet to be an- chored amidst so many other great arts institutions, and the possibilities to collabo- rate and share with our greater community across Northern California are numer- ous. This year we have been busy fundraising and gaining support for the move, and we’re planning for the many new activities and partnerships we will showcase in our new space. You will continue to hear more about this great adventure this year. Our mission to celebrate and share classical music for all has never been more focused. With the feedback of more than 4,000 KDFC listeners who participated in surveys and focus groups, we are developing new products, services and activities to serve you even better.
