I’ve been privileged to be able to share my love of classical music for over 30 years. I became involved with community radio as an undergraduate at Temple University, with shows originating from WMUH Allentown and WXLV Schnecksville. I joined the staff of WWFM The Classical Network, based in West Windsor, NJ, in September 1995, where I continued to program live shifts and produce recorded concerts until March 2020 – the arrival of COVID-19.For three years, I also hosted a weekly radio show on Thursday mornings at WPRB Princeton, on which I presented an unusual mix of classical music within the context of creative themes, punctuated by interviews with local and visiting artists. From 2014 to 2016, I also hosted classical music and jazz shows for WRTI Philadelphia.What I find most enjoyable about my work in radio is putting together interesting programs and sharing music perhaps unfamiliar to my audiences. It is my philosophy that a skillful juxtaposition of the familiar and the new can set off both to advantage. My syndicated shows, Picture Perfect and The Lost Chord, produced at WWFM, allow me to explore the world of film music and seldom-heard composers and recordings.As a writer, I have been active in promoting the local and regional arts scene through my music articles and reviews for The Times of Trenton and U.S. 1/CommunityInfo. I have written program notes, delivered pre-concert lectures, participated in panels, and conducted on-stage interviews for arts organizations from New York to Philadelphia.Interview subjects have included Leon Bates, Stephanie Blythe, Cameron Carpenter, Barry Douglas, JoAnn Falletta, Leon Fleisher, Sir John Eliot Gardiner, Christopher Lyndon-Gee, Kirill Gerstein, Philippe Graffin, Marc-André Hamelin, Sharon Isbin, Leila Josefowicz, Awadagin Pratt, Lara St. John, Peter Schickele, Orli Shaham, Caroline Shaw, Chris Thile, Dawn Upshaw, Pinchas Zukerman, and Christopher Walken.I have been collecting classical music recordings since the age of 10. I have also had a lifelong interest in classic film. I credit my fascination with film with having introduced me to the symphony orchestra. For ten years, I operated an antiquarian book business, Famulus Books, in Philadelphia. I am a member of the Ralph Vaughan Williams Society. My activities and enthusiasms inform my daily posts on my Facebook page, Classic Ross Amico.
