Alison has a wonderful gift of being able to talk about classic music in a way that invites everyone inside to be part of the grand journey of discovering this life affirming art form. Her warm and welcoming voice, her uncommon ability to teach without the slightest hint of lecturing, all convey to her audience that this music is for them and that they too will be delighted and enriched. To listen to Alison talk about music is to embark on a journey with a trusted and pleasing friend.

Managing Director and President, The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra
Sometimes I wonder how so much talent and drive can be contained in one person. Alison is a fabulous classical music host with both a warm voice and a great personality. She shines at live events, and is an impassioned speaker. I've watched with awe as she's taken her love of hiking to new heights (and lengths!), documenting both the ups and downs of long distance trekking for her followers with both raw honesty and unlimited enthusiasm. She's an inspiration to me in so many ways, and I feel lucky to know her.

Alison Young has years of experience working in a very demanding radio environment hosting a variety of classical music programs from live to pre-recorded. She has a voice that is very pleasant to listen too, wherever you might be listening to, in the car, home or on-line. She is easy to work with, flexible and she draws in the listener with a sound that is friendly but with authority.

Alison's delivery is clear, and she has an inviting warmth in her voice that makes you stop what you're doing and focus on what she's saying. Alison's many years experience as radio host show through in her professionalism and connection to listeners.

If you are reading this recommendation for Alison - it is given by someone who has had "The Alison Young Experience." Her command of the music, its history and the artists who performed it was, simply amazing. In front of a live audience, she is exuberant, well informed and passionate about the artists and their performance.
