For the past three years, High Desert Chamber Music has been regularly featured on KWAX Classical Oregon’s KWAX Presents series. KWAX (91.1 FM) is a listener-supported classical radio station licensed to the University of Oregon in Eugene. Through its participation, listeners have been able to enjoy live performances from the HDCM Concert Series, not only statewide in the KWAX listening area of Central and Western Oregon, but worldwide with internet streaming of their programs.

The first program will feature Elizabeth Pitcairn and The Red Violin from opening night of the tenth anniversary season in October 2017. The broadcast is airing on October 1, beginning at 10am with KWAX Music Director Peter Van De Graaff. You can tune in on the following local radio stations: 98.9 Bend, 88.5 Redmond, 90.9 Sunriver.
