This week we decided to enjoy the warmer evening weather, along with the new free high-speed WiFi, and recorded on the patio outside Maestro's Café, located at the Brevard Central Library and Reference Center, 308 Forrest Ave, Cocoa, Florida.

In the featured interview, Aaron Collins sits down with American-born  soprano Mary Anne Kruger who came to prominence over a career in Germany, notably with the renowned Hessischen Staatstheater Darmstadt where she built a repertoire of over 40 major roles and concerts. Luckily for us, she now lives in Florida and frequently performs with the SCSO.

It's Fantastic!

Host Bill Trudeau and SCSO President Eric Lee

Maestro's On Air 1

Here is it, the first episode of our new show.   What’s fantastic?  According to Eric Lee, it could be said of both the new show and the breakfast sandwich he’s eating in Maestro’s Café.  

BTW, in case you didn't notice, that's where we are recording the show... hence the name.
