Discover Classical CEO highlights station's regional arts partnerships and new performance studio
Summary
Discover Classical presented its regional role in supporting Dayton-area arts organizations, outreach programs like the Young Talent Search and an instrument drive, and plans for the Robert Smith Performance Studio at a new facility, saying it is "one of a limited number of 24-hour non-commercial classical music stations in the country."
Shaun Yu, president and CEO of Discover Classical, told the Montgomery County Board of Commissioners on June 30 that the station supports area arts groups and is expanding facilities to increase live performance and community engagement.
Yu said Discover Classical partners with the Dayton Performing Arts Alliance, the Dayton Art Institute and the Dayton Contemporary Dance Company and highlighted the station's education programs, including the Young Talent Search and the Rising Stars Gala. "One of a limited number of 24-hour non-commercial classical music stations in the country," Yu said, emphasizing the station's unique service model and regional reach.
Yu also described the station's instrument-refurbishment drive and partnership with the Goodwill Easterseals Miami Valley Radio Reading Service to provide accessible programming for listeners with visual impairments. He updated commissioners on the station's new facility and the planned Robert Smith Performance Studio, which he said will expand opportunities for live broadcasts and community events in the Miami Valley.
The presentation was given during the meeting's opening segment; commissioners did not take a separate vote on the presentation. The station left commissioners with contact information and outreach materials for community partners.
