Vote: What are your favorite symphonies?

This week, we're launching the new Favorites Stream on YourClassical. This channel features perennial pleasers from the world of classical music; it's a constant stream of the music you love the most.

To help celebrate the launch of the Favorites Stream, we're asking you to vote for your five favorite symphonies. Be sure to submit your votes by midnight Central Time on Monday, Sept. 12; then, tune in to the Favorites Stream on Tuesday, Sept. 20, starting at 10 a.m. Central, when we count down the top 20 favorite symphonies — as voted by you.

And each month, we'll launch a new poll to ask for your favorites in another musical category, and then count those down on the 20th of the month.

Thank you for participating, and thank you for helping us shape the Favorites Stream.

You must be 13 or older to submit any information to American Public Media. The personally identifying information you provide will not be sold, shared, or used for purposes other than to communicate with you about things like our programs, products and services. See Terms of Use and Privacy.
