"And the Grammy goes to..."

Blue Lake Public Radio | By Foley Schuler
Published February 3, 2026 at 5:43 PM EST

Tune in Wednesday afternoon—and afternoons throughout the week—as Foley features some of this year's recent classical music Grammy Award winners...

This past Sunday marked one of the biggest nights in music, the 2026 Grammy Awards. Whatever your feeling about awards shows, the Grammys are, if nothing else, always a great way to learn about what is going on now in the musical world we love and celebrate here on Blue Lake Public Radio (and in music in general). In that spirit, host Foley Schuler will, the rest of this week during his afternoon programs, be featuring some of this year's Grammy Award winning classical recordings, including this year's winners for Best Orchestral Performance, Contemporary Classical Composition, Classical Instrumental Solo, Classical Solo Vocal Album, Choral Performance, Chamber Music/Small Ensemble Performance.

Tuesday, we'll also celebrate the February 4 birthdays of conductor Erich Leinsdorf and operatic soprano Pauline de Ahna—wife of composer Richard Strauss and muse of a number of his great vocal works—with music associated with each.

You can hear Foley'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 4 p.m. and “Sunday on Blue Lake”.
