Global A Go-Go Classico: Serge Bulat in the house

This week (Sunday October 12, 1:00-3:00 PM on WRIR, for two weeks afterwards at wrir.org/listen, check your local listings for airing on other radio stations, and any old time at my podcast siteI have a Classico edition of Global A Go-Go lined up for you.  It features my conversation with Serge Bulat, a multidisciplinary artist originally from Moldova who spends a lot of time nowadays here in Central Virginia when he's not traveling the globe working on those art projects.

I interviewed Serge on April 6th of this year, and on that program he also did a live in-studio mix that featured selections from his most recent album, Phonomundi: Selected Recordings of Heritage Sites and Traditions 2017-2024.

Serge also talks about his time studying with the legendary singer, dancer and performance artist Meredith Monk, and he and I have teamed up to help bring the new documentary film about Meredith, Monk in Pieces, to Richmond.  It's going to be presented by Cinema Niche at Studio Two Three on Saturday November 15th.

A podcast of this week's program will be available soon at radio4all.net/series/Global%20A%20Go-Go.
