Concert Conversation Guest Speaker Bio

Robert McBride

Robert McBride has worked at Portland’s All Classical FM for nine years, thereby threatening to set a new personal record for employment longevity. You can hear him on the air from 1 to 5 p.m. weekday afternoons and from 8 to 10 p.m. on Saturdays, when he presides over Club Mod, a program about modern music. McBride started his radio career at KWAX in Eugene; has worked at stations in Seattle, Buffalo and elsewhere; and for several years was a regular free-lancer for National Public Radio.  He’s also a percussionist and composer.
