ÀÏ·ò×Ó´«Ã½

AJ McCalla was born in Santa Rosa, California, where his parents ran a B&B in the wine country. There, he was fascinated by the classical soundtrack that played during the guests’ breakfast, which started a lifelong love affair with classical music. He soon became an avid symphony-goer and classical radio listener. In 2022, he graduated from Quest University Canada in Squamish, British Columbia with a Bachelor of Arts and Sciences, focusing on Theatre and ÀÏ·ò×Ó´«Ã½ History.

He then settled in Ashland and became a piano teacher. He soon began volunteering at JPR so he could continue being surrounded by beautiful music. Now, he is excited to begin his tenure as host of Siskiyou ÀÏ·ò×Ó´«Ã½ Hall, where he hopes to share his enthusiasm and love for classical music with all of you! In his spare time, he enjoys hiking, attending plays, and playing the piano.
