WRR Announcer Profile:
Karen Moyer

Add some enjoyment to your weekend errands with WRR's Saturday and Sunday daytime host, Karen Moyer.   Brew a cup of coffee, grab the morning paper, and sit down with Karen for a morning of great music and informative conversation on the Morning Musicale.   Then join Karen on Sunday from noon until four for Command Performance, the only classical all request show in the Metroplex.

Karen Moyer was raised in Michigan and Ohio and lived in Chicago before moving to Dallas.   She received Vocal Performance and Music Education degrees from Alma College, North Park College, and University of North Texas.   Karen is a recognized    classical singer and voice teacher in Dallas.   For almost 20 years, she has taught private voice, performance techniques, and music history at the middle school, high school, and college levels.   As a conductor, she has directed college and professional choirs.   Her solo career includes performances with local symphonies and opera companies, as well as, nationally and in Europe.   Karen is active on the boards of various local performing groups and educational organizations.   She is also an experienced broadcaster who was an announcer at WQAC and WORW in Michigan.     

Karen has always loved music.   She began piano lessons at age 4 but switched to voice lessons at 11 when she was recognized for having a mature voice at an early age.   She enjoyed playing flute in the school bands for many years, until her lip became frozen to the mouthpiece at a high school half-time show.   At age 12, she fell in love with opera when her father took her to a performance of Rossini's, "The Barber of Seville."   Her enthusiasm for opera makes her the ideal choice to preside over the Metropolitan Opera Broadcasts on Saturday afternoons.   She has been quoted saying, "What a joy it is to be paid to listen to the opera!"  

WRR is fortunate to have a professional musician with such enthusiasm and love for classical music.   Now Karen enjoys a short commute to work and WRR listeners get to enjoy her refreshing perspective on the world of classical music!
