90.5 Classical | Juneteenth Special Programming

Influential composers from throughout history, with the Juneteenth flag in the center.

On this Juneteenth, WKAR-FM celebrates Black excellence in classical music with a day of programming dedicated to composers and performers from the African diaspora.

Tune in to hear music by composers from Ignatius Sancho to Jesse Montgomery, including MSU alumnus Adolphus C. Hailstork.

Featured performers include Bobby McFerrin, Leontyne Price, Wynton Marsalis, and more. Join Jody Knol from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., and Linda Kernohan from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., on 90.5 Classical, streaming at wkar.org, or on the WKAR Listen mobile app.

Together we’ve already reduced WKAR’s $1.6 million budget gap created by the loss of federal funding. With your sustaining support we can close the remaining $500,000 gap and keep trusted public media strong for mid-Michigan. The best way to support WKAR is to become a sustainer. Already a sustainer? Please consider upgrading your current monthly gift.
