All Classical Radio is thrilled to announce Fred Child as our next President and CEO, beginning January 2, 2026.

An award-winning broadcaster and arts advocate, Fred is relocating to Oregon from New York City to join the All Classical Radio team. Among his many accomplishments, he is particularly admired for his 25-year run as host of the nationally syndicated classical music radio program, Performance Today, heard on hundreds of radio stations nationwide.

“Fred has been a leader in connecting music-makers with music-lovers, and advancing access to the arts with a passion and approach that is absolutely infectious. He brings an ambitious strategic vision for our arts network, guided by a deep understanding of and appreciation for public media. We are so proud to welcome him to All Classical Radio,” says All Classical Radio Board Chair Elaine Durst.

“Dear Friends,

As we gather for Sunday Brunch, I want to share a decision with you that comes from my heart. For the past ten years, it has been one of the great joys and honors of my life to lead All Classical Radio and to share time with you on the radio.

When I announced my departure as President & CEO earlier this year, the station invited me to continue hosting Sunday Brunch from my new home in Ireland. Since then, and as this year draws to a close, I’ve come to understand that All Classical Radio is beginning a beautiful new chapter under its next leader, and out of respect for the new CEO and the spirit of a new year and all the possibilities it brings, it feels right for me to pass the microphone.

So today, with deep gratitude and a full heart, I shared my final Sunday Brunch as your host. Listen again on demand until January 11, 2026.

It has been an honor to spend these Sunday mornings with you, to bring music into your homes and into your lives, and to be part of your routines… your breakfasts, your quiet moments, your challenges and celebrations.

To the donors and sponsors of this show, and to YOU and your fellow listeners and brunchers, I thank you for everything.”

One of the most recognizable voices in American classical music is coming to Portland’s airwaves. But Fred Child, the genial longtime host of the nation’s most popular classical music radio program, Performance Today, isn’t just bringing his enthusiastic, informed voice to Portland’s All Classical Radio. He’s just been named the new president and chief executive officer of Oregon’s most significant classical radio station, which has become a cultural hub for the region.

He’s also coming home. Child is a Portland native who studied classical piano and jazz, and served for a decade as a host at Oregon Public Broadcasting before becoming Music Director and Director of Cultural Programming at the New York public media giant WNYC, where he also hosted a performance and interview program. Along with his quarter-century of hosting American Public Media’s nationally syndicated Performance Today, Child has also been the Emmy-winning announcer for PBS’s Live From Lincoln Center, hosted National Public Radio’s Creators @ Carnegie program, and anchored many major live concert broadcasts. He bade farewell to Performance Today at the end of October.
