KUSC

KUSC 91.5 FM is Southern California's primary classical music public radio station, broadcasting from the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. One of the most listened-to classical stations in the United States, KUSC has served as the region's trusted home for orchestral, chamber, operatic, and solo classical music for decades. The programming spans the full classical repertoire — Baroque counterpoint, Classical-era symphonies, Romantic concertos, and 20th-century works — presented by knowledgeable hosts who bring context and warmth to the music without academic pretension. KUSC is known for its relaxed, accessible approach to classical music, making it welcoming for both longtime devotees and curious newcomers. The station's commitment to depth and variety makes it stand out in a format often reduced to a narrow canon. KUSC streams live online for free and is available through the NPR app and smart speakers, giving classical music fans across Los Angeles and beyond access to continuous, high-quality programming. For anyone looking for a station that treats classical music as the living, breathing art form it is, KUSC is the destination.
