Tonight at Duet Jazz in Downtown Tulsa: OK Electric 2020, Featuring Cellist Inbal Segev

Aired on Thursday, March 5th.

On this edition of StudioTulsa, we welcome the Tulsa-based composer, musician, and music teacher Noam Faingold back to our show. He's also the curator for the fifth-annual OK Electric Festival of Electroacoustic Music, which he tells us about. This special event (presented by Living Arts of Tulsa) happens tonight, Thursday the 5th, at Duet Jazz; more info, including how to get tickets, is posted here. The evening will feature the internationally acclaimed cellist Inbal Segev -- as well as such outstanding local musicians as Dave Broome, Annie Ellicott, Nathan Pape, and Kiersten Moser. Faingold also tells us about his orchestral composition, "Defiant Poet: Elegy in Memory of Yevgeny Yevtushenko," which has just appeared on a new CD.

Rich Fisher passed through KWGS about thirty years ago, and just never left. Today, he is the general manager of Public Radio Tulsa, and the host of KWGS’s public affairs program, StudioTulsa, which celebrated its twentieth anniversary in August 2012 . As host of StudioTulsa, Rich has conducted roughly four thousand long-form interviews with local, national, and international figures in the arts, humanities, sciences, and government. Very few interviews have gone smoothly. Despite this, he has been honored for his work by several organizations including the Governor's Arts Award for Media by the State Arts Council, a Harwelden Award from the Arts & Humanities Council of Tulsa, and was named one of the “99 Great Things About Oklahoma” in 2000 by Oklahoma Today magazine.
