Continuing its commitment to being a voice for the arts in the Greater Cincinnati community, 90.9 WGUC has named longtime local arts writer and critic Janelle Gelfand and her Janellesnotes blog to wguc.org.
Gelfand spent 26 years at the Cincinnati Enquirer, covering the classical music beat with previews, reviews, features and profiles of the organizations and individuals that bring the music to the stages and halls throughout our region. She has also extensively covered the restoration and renovation of Music Hall, which opens again to the public this weekend.
“Greater Cincinnati’s arts and cultural sector has never been more acclaimed or dynamic and the continuing growth in audience and facilities deserves quality coverage,” said Richard Eiswerth, President and General Manager of Cincinnati Public Radio, home to 90.9 WGUC. “Bringing Janelle’s blog to wguc.org will provide a wider audience for her respected performance reviews, personality profiles, features on the region’s arts organizations and thought leaders, and will continue WGUC’s longtime commitment to the region’s arts community. We also look forward to bringing Janelle’s expertise to our local programs on 91.7 WVXU, starting Friday with an appearance on Cincinnati Edition at 1 p.m. to discuss Music Hall.”
“I’m happy to find a home for my classical music blog, Janellesnotes,” said Gelfand.”Cincinnati Public Radio and 90.9 WGUC will be the perfect fit for my concert reviews, arts news, interviews with people who perform great music and create art, and much more. Cincinnati’s classical music scene is world-renowned, and this new partnership will provide an opportunity for people to discover more about it.”
