Suzanne Bona, Host Of
Sunday Baroque,
Visits The Palouse
|
Sunday Baroque
has been called “fresh and inviting, upbeat and inspiring” – due in no small part to Suzanne Bona. When asked about her upcoming concert with James Reid, Suzanne wrote, "Guitarist James Reid is a superb musician, and I am over-the-moon delighted to be collaborating with him on this concert! We’ve chosen a broad variety of interesting music for our program. James introduced me to some spectacular flute and guitar music by contemporary composers including Bryan Johanson and Gwyneth Walker. The music illustrates what a rich and varied combination guitar and flute can be."
This month, you have
several opportunities
to meet her, listen to her speak and perform as a classically trained flutist.

Independent Lens –
“My Nazi Legacy: What
Our Fathers Did”
|
During WWII, Hans Frank and Otto von Wachter were Nazi governors and consultants to Adolf Hitler himself. The two were collectively responsible for thousands of deaths. While researching the Nuremberg trials, Philippe Sands came across two men who re-focused his studies: Niklas Frank and Horst von Wachter. The men hold polar opposite views on the men who raised them. Sands and director David Evans explore the character lying underneath the infamous criminals, their patriarchal influence, and the price of forgiveness.
