The Terre Haute Symphony Orchestra and conductor David Bowden welcome “Five By Design” for their upcoming performance of “Club Swing.”
Bowden spoke to George Walker about the way the orchestra turns itself into a big band, how the Terre Haute strings swing and just how the comedy of Spike Jones fits into the whole show.
George Walker was born in Winchester, Virginia, and raised in Owl’s Head, Maine, and Valhalla, New York. After graduating from the University of Michigan, he came to Bloomington in 1966 and completed an M.A.T. degree in English at Indiana University. George began announcing for WFIU in 1967. Currently, along with regularly hosting classical music shows, he interviews artists in a wide variety of areas and reviews plays and operas. He’s the proud father of grown sons Ben Walker (and his wife Elise Katzif Walker) and Aaron Walker. In his time away from WFIU, George enjoys an active life with wife Carolyn Lipson-Walker, singing, reading, exercising and playing guitar.
In musical remembrance of artists past: Night Lights returns with another program of jazz elegies for Memorial Day weekend.
