90.5 WUOL Launches 5th Season of Summer Listening This July!

Summer Listening is a free program designed to encourage parents and their children to listen to classical music together over summer vacation.

How it works

Tune in to 90.5 FM or WUOL.org to live stream our themed Summer Listening broadcasts each Sunday from 1-4 p.m. in July. Participants can sign up for free at WUOL.org to receive info on ways to engage and resources to learn along with the music each week.

Summer Listeners are also entered to win concert tickets around Louisville in the coming year. All ages are encouraged to sign up.

90.5 WUOL is hosting a series of FREE family events that have been organized with our community partners as a way to engage listeners and participants (see event details below).
