July 18, South Beach Up North

Air Date:
Heard On Route 51

Wisconsin Public Radio’s Route 51 will feature an hour of music and conversation with the Miami, Fla.-based South Beach Chamber Ensemble. Led by Wausau native and cellist Michael Andrews, the group returns to central and northern Wisconsin for their 14th annual chamber music festival.

Shereen Siewert will talk with Andrews and his musicians about South Beach Up North, which begins with Thursday’s episode of “Route 51” and continues with four separate performances in the Wausau area and Minocqua. The group’s diverse repertoire includes classical music, American pop standards, jazz, and rock. The musicians will share selections from their upcoming performances and discuss the reasons behind their annual sojourn from southern Florida to Wisconsin’s North Woods.
