It's Time To Enjoy The Arts Scene
|
|
Believe it or not summer is coming to a close. Sunrise is later by a couple of minutes each day and sunset is coming a bit earlier. The other way to tell is the arts scene is coming back after a summer hiatus. Theater, which is in limited supply in the valley during the summer months, is coming back with new productions from Arizona Theatre Company, Phoenix Theatre, Stray Cat Theatre, Nearly Naked Theatre, and most other major companies. This means our theater critic, Chris Curcio, will be back from his summer vacation to review the new productions. Listen for his reviews Monday's at 6pm. Ballet Arizona, Arizona Opera and Phoenix Chorale have all announced there seasons too. We invite you to join K-BACH Sunday, September 20 at 4pm for the choral music of Morten Lauridsen at Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts. Check our website, kbach.org for details. Buy tickets online at Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts - click here.Be sure to listen for Randy Kinkel's 'This Week in Classical Music' Tuesdays at 6pm and the ' Heart Of The Arts' feature Wednesday's at 6pm with interviews of local and visiting artists and performers by Sterling Beeaff and Jane Hilton.

Daniel Martineau Says K-BACH Is Indispensable
|
|
|
"K-BACH is indispensable to me. Why? Because in this crazy loud cacophonous world of ours, classical music is one of the too few sources of peace and calm, order, harmony, and joy both physical and spiritual. As I write this, Schubert's "Unfinished Symphony" is streaming from K-BACH out of my computer, and through it I know that despite what you read in the newspapers - Life is Beautiful and All's Right with the World!"
- Daniel Martineau, Leadership Society Member

K-BACH Sustaining Member Donates Third Vehicle
|
|
It is never easy to say goodbye to an important part of your life like your car. But for the third time, when it came time for Joy in Phoenix to get rid of her car, she turned her vehicle into classical music she loves by donating it to her favorite station, K-BACH.
Over the last several years, Joy has donated three separate vehicles to support K-BACH. She has donated a Toyota Supra, a Mercedes and most recently her 2002 Nissan Xterra. Joy's donation will allow K-BACH to spend more time delivering classical music and less time fundraising on-air and Joy will receive the deduction on her income taxes.
Donate your vehicle to K-BACH
