Foley Schuler speaks with both the conductor and vocal soloist for this Sunday evening's concert by the Blue Lake Festival Band.

Acclaimed symphonic band director LaToya Webb makes her conducting debut at Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp this Sunday, June 29 at Stewart Shell. You can listen on-demand here to Foley's interview with Latoya Webb and renowned Detroit-based soprano, Alice McAllister Tillman—who, along with baritone Marques Jerrell Ruff, will be featured with the Blue Lake Festival Band in selections from Gershwin's opera, Porgy and Bess.

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”.
