 -the challenges that local cultural organizations continue to face

We also dig into the archives for an interview with MARY-CATHERINE PAZZANO that Allison Dyjach captured for @onthescenekw last year.

They talk:

-the road to becoming a working musician

This season our theme music is "Locanita" from @juneytyetkiner.
