Historic Volcanic Eruption!

Krasheninnikov Volcano in Russia has erupted for the first time in over 500 years. Foley will offer some musical responses Tuesday afternoon on Blue Lake Public Radio.

With the historic eruption of Krasheninnikov Volcano in the far east of Russia on August 3 still making news headlines across the globe, Foley Schuler will feature musical depictions of several famous volcanic eruptions throughout history, including the Symphony No. 50 "Mt. St. Helens" by Alan Hovhaness, a pianistic depiction of the Mount Bromo Volcano in Java by Leopold Godowsky, and the work that American march king John Philip Sousa considered to be his finest, the three-part suite, The Last Days of Pompeii. That and more, Tuesday afternoon on Blue Lake Public Radio.

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”.
