Remembering Roger Norrington

Sir Roger Norrington
Sir Roger Norrington

Tune in Thursday afternoon as Foley pays tribute to legendary maestro Sir Roger Norrington, who passed away July 18 at the age of 91.

Known for his historically informed performances and his unwavering quest for authenticity, Sir Roger Norrington left behind a rich recorded legacy. We will explore it on Thursday afternoon's Classical Music with Foley Schuler.

You can hear Foley Schuler's musical selections, and stories behind the music, every weekday afternoon from 1 until 4 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”.
