Who do you want to hear from?
So far, on Classically Speaking we’ve had interviews with
Gil Shaham,
Andre Raphel Smith (Wheeling Symphony),
Grant Cooper (WV Symphony),
Ryan Hardiman (WV Symphony Idol), and
Chuck Daellenbach of the Canadian Brass.Next week, I’m talking to violinist and composer Patmore Lewis, because I like his unusual
Rillito River Project CD and want to ask him about it, and I have an interview with Jeremy Cohen of
Quartet San Francisco that we will be posting soon. We’re also starting to contact musicians who will be performing around the state over the next year.
So...who would
you like me to interview?
They can be connected to West Virginia, or just a performer or composer you've heard, or want to hear, on
West Virginia Public Radio.
You never know who will talk to you until you ask. I can’t promise that I will get every interview, but I will certainly try. And I’ve found that most classical musicians are happy to share some of their time and thoughts.
I’ll have some follow-up on
last week’s Friday question about listening soon, but there’s no time today, since I have to head out to the dentist!
