Magnolia Baroque live in Studio A

May 22, 2012  

The biennial Magnolia Baroque Festival is back, and better than ever with world renowned early music soloists and an entire week of fascinating programs from Friday, May 25, through the 31st in Winston-Salem. Magnolia Baroque Festival's 5th anniversary season is a unique opportunity for Triad audiences to hear gifted musicians from all over the world performing a remarkable series of concerts from the best of Bach's gorgeous cantatas, to an entire evening of sundry ground bass classics. What's a ground bass you ask? Magnolia Festival Founder/Director, and accomplished tenor Glen Siebert joins TAUC host David Ford to explain that and much more.

Before his arrival in the Triad, David had already established himself as a fixture in the Austin, Texas arts scene as a radio host for Classical 89.5 KMFA. During his tenure there, he produced and hosted hundreds of programs including Mind Your Music, The Basics and T.G.I.F. Thank Goodness, It's Familiar, which each won international awards in the Fine Arts Radio Competition. As a radio journalist with 88.5 WFDD, his features have been recognized by the Associated Press, Public Radio News Directors Inc., Catholic Academy of Communication Professionals, and Radio Television Digital News Association of the Carolinas. David has written and produced national stories for NPR, KUSC and CPRN in Los Angeles and conducted interviews for Minnesota Public Radio's Weekend America.
