On the Air with Classical Portfolio and Susan Welch
For Susan Welch, the cohost of the Classical Portfolio show that airs every Sunday from 5 to 6 p.m. on KWVH, her love affair with the arts began early in life. Her family visited museums and her mother taught her piano at a young age. She recalls her father, who loved classical music, stretched out on the floor listening to Igor Stravinsky’s ballet, Petrushka, for hours at a time. As a student, she played violin as well as piano, studied modern dance, tap, ballet, as well as literature and other fine arts. She is, she told me in a recent interview, “an extremely rightbrained person.” 01/17/2024 12:00 AM
