About Us


Classic 107.3 was created in 2013 by people who believe a vibrant arts and cultural scene is essential for our community to thrive.

Our Mission

To enrich the cultural landscape of St. Louis through the programming and outreach efforts of a nonprofit classical music station.

A variety of music on-air 24/7, primarily classical but including jazz, opera, show tunes, and more. Local programs with area hosts feature diverse viewpoints and interests.
Promotion of cultural events in our area through in-depth interviews with artists, musicians, creators, and performers, bringing their stories and events to the attention of the St. Louis community.
