On November 5, Brian Newhouse will be coming to campus and giving an evening presentation to anyone who wishes to attend. Brian is currently Managing Director of Minnesota Public Radio/American Public Media's classical programming, including Symphony Cast, Performance Today, Pipedreams, and the national 24-hour service, Classical 24. He has been a soloist with the Dale Warland Singers, the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, and an Artist-in-Residence at the Oregon bach Festival. He won a Peabody Award for writing the radio documentary "The Mississippi: River Song." He also hosts the Friday night live broadcasts of the Minnesota Orchestra heard regionally on Classical Minnesota Public Radio.
Besides his achievements in public radio, Brian is notable as the author of the memoir, A Crossing, the chronicle of his four-thousand-mile bike journey across the U.S. Students interested in memoir-writing might be especially interested in meeting Brian and learning more about both his bicycle odyssey and how he came to produce a book about it.
