Christy L'Esperance
Classical IPR host/producerKansas City native Christy L’Esperance (pronounced “LESS-per-ahns") started listening to classical music on the Snoopy radio she got for her 4th birthday.
Today, as Classical IPR's morning host and producer of family programming, she enjoys classical music through much better speakers.
The years between were filled with the adventures of earning a degree in piano performance and pedagogy, presenting classical music on air for Iowa Public Radio, Northern Public Radio and Classical KC, teaching piano and music composition, performing frequently as an accompanist and raising a ginormous family with her husband.
You can reach Christy at christy.lesperance@interlochen org - she would love to hear about the ways you keep music in your life.
