Suzanne Bona and Richard Goering

Suzanne Bona is heard nationwide ( and then some) on Sunday Baroque, a show she created several decades ago (WGUC 8 a.m.-12 p.m. Sundays)

Although many, many know her on the radio, not as many know her as a fine flutist. Suzanne has stepped up to contribute to our WGUC benefit CDs ( helping to generate several hundreds of thousands of dollars for WGUC and Cincinnati Public Radio. )

Years ago she crossed paths with guitarist Richard Goering here in Cincinnati and musical magic was made. Richard has also contributed on a couple occasions to our benefit CDs and tells us about their collaboration over the years.

"Suzanne and I have performed together for 15 years on concert series around the Midwest and in New York and New England. She is delightful to work with, as you know... One thing I love about performing with Suzanne is that we play multiple musical genres-Brazilian melodies, tangos, works by Bach, Paganini, Handel, and contemporary compositions. Ferdinando Carulli (1770-1841)(composer of the piece in the video) wrote over 400 compositions for solo guitar and chamber music with guitar."

Now, please sit back, relax, and enjoy flutist Suzanne Bona and guitarist Richard Goering in a live session we did in our Corbett Studio around 6 months ago.
