Unfortunately, I think I know the answer to this question, but all you smart and worldly DR-1'ers are so wise, such a font, that I will ask.....

Is there any chance in hell or high water that there is a Dominican radio station that plays classical music? As in Beethoven, Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Stravinsky, etc.?

I can keep up on my iPad, but I'm a little tired of what I have downloaded, and sometimes just wish I could switch the radio on while I'm reading at night and maybe hear something different. Like some Chopin. Or Mazursky. Or Charles Ives. Or Brahms. Or even a different version of Palchelbel's "Canon and Round in D."

If you have Delancer Cable, change tv to radio (button above exit button) and there is a variety of satellite radio choices.Just did a quick scan Opera on #702 the classic choices are not quite what you are looking for but the jazz channel is good to read by.

I am afraid the Internet is your friend on this one.

Pandora could work for you. Or other online sites that stream classical music.

Thank you, Bronxboy. I have probably 20 hours of the Old Masters. I was hoping for oh! you know! Just an afternoon of WQXR from NYC. You are very kind to share.

I am a fan of classical merengue and bachata, but I was looking for something more classical classical. If you know what I mean.

No. Here in the "far east" we sometimes get a Puerto Rican station (Allegro 91.3FM) that plays classical music, but only just.

Raices - 102.9 has classical music. Not sure if it's classical all day, but in evening hours it often is.

NOT A HUGE JAZZ FAN!!!!!!! You don't know what you are missing. I hope you don't consider Kenny G jazz, because that is elevator music. In classical I am partial to Chopin but wow jazz offers SOOOOO much as well. It is like a fine wine, you need to acquire a taste and appreciation for it. Start with something easy like Spyro Gyro or Stanley Turentine's Sugar, then when you are ready step up to Coltraine or Bird.

Ummm. I do. I studied it in university (I was a music minor) and it just does not work for me. I know I am supposed to love it---the only uniquely American musical form apart from the Broadway musical---but I just don't. And it's not as if arrhthymic forms/dissonance/syncopation/free form scales don't work for me. Jazz just doesn't do it. For me. Not Bird. Not Coltrane. Not Bechet. Not Bix. Maybe Dixieland a little. Just not my cuppa.
