The Classical Stream Kickstarter Campaign

The Classical Stream was an internet radio show that I produced and hosted via BostonPete.com. But due to the high cost of music licensing broadcast fees, BostonPete was forced to closed down. The Classical Stream is currently without a home.

I'm trying to bring back the show but I need to upgrade my equipment, stock my music library with new recordings, and find an established "big name" server home (like Live365).

The Classical Stream is a different concept in classical music radio. Once considered "long hair" music (before that meant hippies in the 1960's) or only for high-brow, high-falootin' people, classical music is now accessible and established as music for the masses!

My intention is to provide a warm and personal classical music show - not just "play music" but talk about the music and how much it means to the world.

I'll introduce quality orchestras and performers to a world-wide audience and bring outstanding music to the planet!

Of course, I'll only be able to do this with your help. 

Please donate today! We are just over two weeks till the end of our campaign!

You can go here to make your pledge. You will not be charged unless we meet our goal.

The Classical Stream

Good radio is hard to find.

Personal radio is rarer still, what with all the "bots" and "canned" radio hosts in today's mainstream broadcasts.

I have a passion for good radio, and I had excellent mentors during my time in St. Louis.

In fact, those mentors would guide the station I cut my teeth on to the Marconi Award for Classical Music Station of the Year in 1999.

In 2002, I was given the opportunity to host my very own internet radio show and The Classical Stream was born. For nearly 10 years I produced and hosted a show featuring the best music in the world.

The Classical Stream's home was at BostonPete.com. But in January of 2012, BostonPete was closed down its music shows due to licensing fees.

Since then, I've been looking for ways to bring The Classical Stream back to the world.
Classical music is some of the finest music in world and is the most enduring music on the planet. Classical music deserves the best venues possible and is performed in some of the most beautiful places in the world.

The driving passion of The Classical Stream is to bring the best music in the world to the widest audience possible in the best way that is possible with the latest technology.
I’m asking you to help! Your support will provide music to the planet that is desperate for peaceful, comforting, and inspiring compositions.

Thank you for your support of The Classical Stream.
