Selections from three concerts recorded at the University of Georgia Performing Arts Center in recent years will be featured on the national broadcast of Performance Today on Thursday, January 28.

The selections scheduled to appear on the radio broadcast include:

    • Antonio Vivaldi’s Concerto con Molti Strumenti in G Minor, Per l’Orchestra di Dresda, RV 577, performed by the Venice Baroque Orchestra (Andrea Marcon, conductor) and recorded live in Hugh Hodgson Concert Hall on April 12, 2016.
    • Johannes Brahms’s “Hungarian Dances for Piano, Four Hands,” performed by Michael Brown and Wu Han and the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center. This performance was recorded live in Hugh Hodgson Concert Hall January 25, 2018.

In 1998, the Performing Arts Center began recording many of its concerts for broadcast on American Public Media’s Performance Today, the most popular classical music program in the country. The Performing Arts Center is proud to be a national ambassador for UGA and Athens by sharing its outstanding acoustics and world-class programming with millions listeners every week.

American Public Media’s Performance Today is a winner of the 2014 Gabriel Award for artistic achievement. The show is broadcast on hundreds of public radio stations across the country, including WUGA FM.

Performance Today features live concert recordings that can’t be heard anywhere else, highlights from new album releases, and in-studio performances and interviews. The program is based at the APM studios in St. Paul, Minn., but is frequently on the road, with special programs broadcast from festivals and public radio stations around the country.
