All this week on Blue Lake Public Radio we have been featuring favorites works of Fritz Stansell, leading up to a special concert and reception in his memory at Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp Saturday evening. As an afterglow to that, and to wrap up this special week of programming, Foley Schuler, on this week's Sunday on Blue on Blue Lake, will feature several works particularly close to the heart of Blue Lake's visionary founder and that he conducted often. Among these will be Rimsky-Korsakov's Symphonic Suite, Scheherazade and several sections of Brahms' A German Requiem and more, as well as a few special musical surprises including some piano pieces by the German emigre composer, conductor and teacher, Ludolph Arens (maternal grandfather of Fritz Stansell, whose Arens Art Colony in Door County, Wisconsin was a model and inspiration for Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp), and even the soundtrack suite from the movie that Fritz and Gretchen Stansell went to see on their very first date. You'll have to tune in to find out what that was—and to enjoy this great morning of music, in honor of a great man.
