Some good news and some bad news on the classical radio front:
Peter van de Graaff, the congenial host of the Beethoven Satellite Network, has won the Karl Haas Prize for Music Education from KXMS in southern Missouri. You can read about it here.
A practicing classical baritone and a competent linguist, Peter’s command of the complex raw materials of classical music radio hosting has enabled him to fashion a first-rate service imbued with rare, relaxed charm.
The prize is given annually by The Klassix Society/Friends of KXMS to honor and promote music educators who make a difference on the air.
