Meet Sharon Isbin!
If you’re a frequent listener to 90.9 WGUC, then you’ve likely heard performances by Grammy award-winning classical guitarist, Sharon Isbin. Sharon recently released a new album in collaboration with the Pacifica Quartet and I had the pleasure of chatting with her about how this came to be.
She went on to explain how they chose the repertoire for this album.
The guitar can be a difficult instrument to write for.
She has a personal favorite on this new release.
The story about how she first came to play guitar is quite interesting.
She told me about what’s next on her schedule.
Sharon lives a very interesting life. When not playing guitar, she has many other interests as well!
Listen to 90.9 WGUC for more from Sharon Isbin. And be sure to be on the lookout for more of her releases in 2020.

Meet Donald Nally and The Crossing!
If you’re a regular listener to 90.9 WGUC’s New at Noon, then you’ve likely heard a few selections recently from Donald Nally and The Crossing. Donald Nally is the former Music Director of Cincinnati’s Vocal Arts Ensemble and a CCM graduate. He now leads the Grammy award-winning ensemble The Crossing. Based out of Philadelphia, The Crossing is a professional chamber choir known for commissioning and performing new music. With the recent release of their performance of Kile Smith’s The Arc in the Sky, I had the opportunity to chat with Donald about how this collaboration came about.
He went on to explain what audiences should listen for in The Arc in the Sky.
It is interesting how The Crossing first came to be.
They have a full schedule this season.
Free time is hard to come by for Donald.
If you haven’t already, check out The Crossing – especially if you enjoy newly-composed choral music!
