"One of Oregon's biggest arts leadership shuffles in 2025 was the resignation of Suzanne Nance as president and CEO of All Classical Radio and the arrival of Fred Child to take her place. Nance, who led the Portland-based global network creatively since 2018, including the station's move from the east side riverbank to downtown Portland, left to become executive director of the Wexford Festival Opera in Ireland, a post she assumes in January."
"Child, who ArtsWatch's Brett Campbell describes as "the genial longtime host of the nation's most popular classical music radio program, Performance Today," is returning home: A Portland native, he served for a decade as a host at Oregon Public Broadcasting before becoming music director and director of cultural programming at the New York public media giant WNYC, where he also hosted a performance and interview program."
