You’ve probably heard his voice guide you through some of Minnesota’s biggest news stories — steady, thoughtful and unmistakable.  

For 20 years, Tom Crann has been a trusted presence on MPR News, hosting All Things Considered on weekday afternoons and connecting with listeners across the state.  

Now he’s starting a new chapter, one filled with sonatas, symphonies and a different kind of storytelling. 

Coming up at 9 a.m. on Tuesday, MPR News host Angela Davis talks with Tom Crann about the highlights of his career in journalism and why he’s returning to his classical music roots as a host for YourClassical MPR.

Guest:
