Meet the Masters

Meet the Masters is a classical music television program aired in 1952 on NBC. The national broadcast premiere has yet to be confirmed, but the series is known to have debuted on then-NBC affiliate WGN Chicago on February 24, 1952 , so likely aired nationwide that day, too. The series, which ran throughout the spring of 1952, is considered a pioneering program for televised classical music.

Known guest performers on the series include singer Marian Anderson and pianist Arthur Rubinstein. An NBC promotional photo announced the appearance of soprano Nadine Conner and tenor Jan Peerce.
