Chicago's classical and folk music tradition thrives on WFMT 98.7, which broadcasts superlative concerts and live events unavailable elsewhere. The station offers exclusive performances from major orchestras and festivals alongside curated classical programs. Listeners encounter works from Rimsky-Korsakov and Borodin alongside chamber music by Couperin and Amy Beach, while special series explore everything from Baroque colonial music to solo cello recitals. WFMT serves those seeking serious classical listening and folk traditions in depth, with programming that ranges from symphonic spectacle to intimate vocal and instrumental recordings. The station's schedule balances canonical repertoire with lesser-known romantic-era discoveries and contemporary classical compositions.
