More Music Coming to Blue Lake Public Radio in July

Remembering Rains

Friday afternoon, Foley pays tribute to the legendary actor Claude Rains with his historic collaboration with pianist Glenn Gould.

Today we remember the acclaimed and much loved actor Claude Rains, who died on May 30th, 1967, with excerpts drawn from his fascinating and historic collaboration with legendary Canadian pianist Glenn Gould, is they teamed to perform the rarely heard setting for speaker and piano by Richard Strauss of the poem Enoch Arden, by Alfred Tennyson. The album, originally printed in a run only 1,500 copies was long a sought-after collector's item, and we will enjoy a portion of it this afternoon—and much more—on Blue Lake Public Radio.

You can hear Foley Schuler's musical selections—and stories behind the music—every weekday afternoon from 1 until 5 on blue Lake Public Radio.

Encouraged by creative parents, Foley began his music career at age 7, studying violin with Jean Manning at North Muskegon Public Schools. As a Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp camper, he became Blue Lake Public Radio’s first high school intern. Foley earned an English Literature degree from Hope College, and Masters in Fine Arts degree in Creative Writing from the Warren Wilson College. He has performed with the West Michigan (formerly West Shore) Symphony; served on the English Department faculty at Muskegon Community College, and been the Music, Art & Theatre reviewer for the Muskegon Chronicle. He follows his love of the arts around the globe, but says, “There is no place like the Blue Lake setting, sharing extraordinary music with our listeners.” Foley hosts Blue Lake Public Radio’s weekday classical music from 1 to 5 p.m. and “Sunday on Blue Lake”.
