We produce and distribute classical music specials, ongoing series and performing arts commercials to clients throughout the United States.

Increasingly our focus is on providing quality commercials and hosting services to U.S. arts organizations. We have provided commercial services to the Chicago Sympony Orchestra, the Kansas City Symphony, the Pacific Symphony, the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the New York Philharmonic and, through the Washington Performing Arts Society, the Kennedy Center and other Washington D.C. area venues. Our web site includes lists of clients, a few examples of our work and a description of our services. 
Cardiff Studios' owner is announcer/producer Rich Capparela. Rich has been heard as an announcer for Los Angeles radio stations KUSC-FM, KFAC-FM and KMZT-FM (K-Mozart), ending his eleven-year run at the later station when it changed formats in February of 2007. A month later Rich returned to public station KUSC, 91.5 FM where he is now heard weekday afternoons from 4 until 7.
BREAKING NEWS, March 2010: Cardiff Studios is pleased to welcome our newest client - the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra. We've just started voicing and producing radio spots for the orchestra, beginning with sixty-second radio for their Friday morning Coffee Concerts. We look forward to working with the St. Louis Symphony in the coming months and years.
