Inter-studio newsflash: La Follia Austin Baroque is here in the KMFA studio as I type this! They are preparing for a live/recorded-to-tape interview with Dianne Donovan for her Sunday evening show, Classical Austin. It’s causing quite an exciting buzz on what is usually a quiet Friday afternoon here at KMFA… I’ve been walking around our first-floor offices, exclaiming “Did you know there’s a *harpsichord* in Studio 2000?!”
Here are few photos I took while they were warming up….they sound wonderful, and there’s a concert on Monday with guest performer, Andrew Hallock, at the First Presbyterian Church, at 8pm. I don’t think it’s on their website, so you heard it here first! 😉
