Listeners in the greater Des Moines area can now tune into KICP 105.9 FM and KICL 96.3 FM for Iowa’s premier broadcast source of the most beautiful and timeless music ever written and performed from symphonies and operas recorded in venues around the world and around the state. IPR’s locally produced programs like Symphonies of Iowa, University Concerts, The Jazz Department and classical music can now be heard all day long hosted by Barney Sherman, Jacqueline Halbloom, Karen Impola and Curt Snook. And national favorites like Performance Today, Concierto and From the Top will continue on the new 24/7 classical service.
“I am delighted to hear the news regarding the new IPR classical signals in the Greater Des Moines area allowing all Central Iowans to hear classical music twenty-four hours a day,” says Maestro Joseph Giunta of the Des Moines Symphony. “This will greatly enrich the lives of many and continue the outstanding reputation IPR has to its listeners.”
