Imagine a radio station, playing only beautiful classical music. Imagine further that this radio station has unlimited coverage, and can reach every corner of the globe.
And now, please imagine a radio station that carefully plays the classical music that “normal people” love! None of the esoteric and experimental “music” that seems to have taken over too much of our concert halls and even sometimes our air-waves. None of the “politically correct” music from nonentities but who check irrelevant boxes of political correctness – even though few people like their works. None of the ugly dissonant noises we are told we should struggle and learn to like.
Imagine being assured, any time you tune in, the music you hear is beautiful music you will like, music you do love, and music you’ll want to keep listening to.
That’s the promise of ARIA. We promise you a refuge of beautiful music in a day and age that desperately needs it, streaming to you through your computers, phones, tablets, and smart speakers. Always available, in excellent quality stereo sound.
No need to imagine any more. We’re here. Tune in – you’re sure to love our music…….

Unfortunate Amazon Alexa Oops Update – A Workaround We’re still waiting to hear anything at all further from Amazon, but in the meantime we went to a private Amazon skill developer developer and in less than two days had a replacement skill developed and deployed. If a different company takes
Our Progress in 2025 And here we are, already embracing 2026 and all it variously threatens and promises. This naturally calls for a look at what we’ve accomplished in 2025, all the more so because our rate of posting updates has greatly slowed now that we’re increasingly busy most of
Update on the Enhancements at ARIA We’ve been unusually silent for the last few months, because we’ve also been unusually busy deploying new enhancements to the music we share with you and how we share it. It is well past time to tell you about some of these things, although
November’s Nuances We’re coming into the “home straight” of 2024. What a year it has been – in January, ARIA was still under wraps and not yet ready for public view; we’ve gone through a dizzying amount of evolution and enhancement since then, and as we enter the final month
Is Classical Music Pricing and Programming Killing its Audiences? My daughter and I are going to see the Nutcracker Ballet this Christmas – a performance by the Houston Ballet; a ballet company I know little about but which is probably a good “mid level” ballet company. We are both looking
