On-Air Highlights for Nov. 6-8
If you missed Thursday's premiere of the newest Kentucky Muse program, Eighty-Eight Keys, Three Hundred Years, here's another chance to catch this entertaining musical history of the piano. The show featured Diane Earle, a professor of music at Kentucky Wesleyan College in Owensboro, who created a concert in celebration of the 300th anniversary of the piano in 2009.
Earle treats viewers to a 30-minute musical timeline, including pieces
by Mozart, Beethoven, Debussy, Rachmaninoff, Henry Cowell, and George
Gershwin. The Owensboro Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Nicholas Palmer,
accompanies her on two of the pieces. Earle also shares her personal story
as a passionate pianist from age 6, whose love for the piano has led to
her 25-year teaching career as well as performances around the world.
