Join Foley Tuesday afternoon for a musical trip to one of America's great National Parks—with help from composer Jennifer Higdon.

With the summer travel season upon us—and our minds turning naturally to America's National Parks—Foley Schuler, in Tuesday afternoon's 3 o'clock hour, will feature All Things Majestic, a four-part musical portrait of America's Grand Teton Mountain Range by one of America's leading composer of today, Jennifer Higdon. In the score's program notes, Higdon, who describes our National Parks as among "America's greatest treasures," says that she jumped at the chance to compose this work commemorating the Grand Teton Music Festival. She described All Things Majestic as "a tribute to not only the festival and its home, the Tetons, but also to the grandeur and majesty of all of our parks."

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.

Foley Schuler
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”.
