FUNDER TRANSCRIPT "Hello, I'm Alexander Kobrin, winner of the 2005 Van Cliburn Piano Competition. Playing great music in competition can be very stressful. A musician must manage that stress in order to focus and perform their best. The same can be said for you as well. You have to manage stress to get through your day and to perform your best. I'm sure this Public Radio station helps you to do that by playing the music you love. Right now, you have a chance to return the favor by making a contribution. It only takes a few minutes, but the benefits last all year long. You can call or pledge online. Here's how and thank you."

SUGGESTED HOST OUTRO Please call (insert station phone number), or pledge online at (insert station web address). How do you use the classical music you hear on (insert station name)? Does it make the time you're stuck in traffic a little easier, does it drown out distractions at home or at work....
