As we look forward to Midori's historic performance with the Holland Symphony Orchestra Friday and Saturday, we'll enjoy the remarkable artistry of the renowned violinist Friday afternoon on Blue Lake Public Radio.

Tune in to Classical Music with Foley Schuler Friday afternoon to hear Midori recorded live at Carnegie Hall—and as soloist one of the beloved works of the concerto repertoire, the Violin Concerto in D Minor of Jean Sibelius. We also offer this interview with Midori, conducted by violinist Robert McDuffie in 1991—and if you missed Foley's interview last week with Holland Symphony Orchestra President and CEO, Michael Naess, about these special performances you can listen on demand here.

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.

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”.
