Take a moment for music.
We're all in need of a musical oasis these days. Whether you yearn for a break from the chaos of the world, or you just want something to keep you company while you work from home, we have just the thing: HPR-2, the state's only dedicated classical music station. Whether you're an accomplished musician yourself, or just "classical curious," we've got plenty to inspire you and enrich your day. 

Some of HPR-2's classical music hosts: Ian Capps, Gene Schiller, Louise Kealiʻiloma Lanizlotti, Judy Anderson, Craig DeSilva, John Zak. (archive photo)
