Roger Duvall

The third installment in a nationally-acclaimed series of musicals inspired by Appalachia is performed tonight at Eastern Kentucky University.  

For a work of drama, a play opening tonight at Berea College was practically ripped from today’s headlines.  Titled “This is My Heart for You,” it was written within just a few months by Kentucky author Silas House.   Moved by real acts of violence and bigotry, House explores equality and morality in a small, fictional Appalachian town.  The author explained his motives to WEKU’s Roger Duvall.

A composer who’s created two unique pieces for Lexington audiences returns tomorrow to the Singletary Center.   Last summer, Daniel Kellogg’s “Look up at the Sky” was performed for the first time during theChamber Music Festival of Lexington.  Friday evening, Kellogg’s composition, How Radiant the Dawn, is performed by the Lexington Philharmonic Orchestra.

The Taffetas is a show that highlights music from the 1950s and all the problems inherent in that time.
