Backstage Pass
The Twin Cities radio magazine of the arts
Hosted by Karl Gehrke
In this "radio magazine," we go behind the scenes to meet the talented people who make Twin Cities culture so lively. We talk to guest artists appearing at the Guthrie, Orchestra Hall, and other cultural hot spots. We look at what's new: books, CDs, compositions, exhibits and much more. Along the way, we get into provocative conversations with commentators about the status of the arts in Minneapolis/St. Paul and we gain insights into the creative process.
August 21 - Jazz pianist Larry McDonough, a look at Gilbert Stuart's iconic painting of George Washington now on display at The Minneapolis Institute of Arts, and photographer/instructor Martin Fowler on photography as art.
