KMFA Classical 89.5

About

KMFA 89.5 is an independent public classical radio station in Austin, TX. KMFA serves approximately 100,000 listeners each week and features locally produced shows like Classical Austin, Early Music Now, and From the Butler School, as well as nationally distributed programming from Public Radio International, American Public Media, and National Public Radio.

KMFA has undergone a landmark transformation with the completion in 2020 of its new, state-of-the-art permanent facility, funded entirely by community gifts totaling $10.5 Million. The new building in East Austin includes the 130-seat Draylen Mason Music Studio, on-air and production booths, an interactive educational gallery, and public gathering spaces. Live concerts and broadcasts are regularly held here, as are social occasions, youth camps, and K-12 tours and art exhibits.

KMFA supports many regional arts organizations such as the Austin Symphony Orchestra, Austin Opera, and Texas Performing Arts with on-air and online promotions, co-sponsorships, and interviews with KMFA hosts. Our Listen Local initiative broadcasts Austin's finest classical music performances, making classical music and cultural events available to all. With popular programs like the Fall Into Music Instrument Drive and radio camps for kids, KMFA encourages arts education and supports the Central Texas community.
