You’re listening to WTJU Charlottesville. For Arts This Week, we chatted with Nathan Scholz from the band Soul Meets Body. Nate talks about his band and their upcoming show at the Southern Music Hall and Cafe on August 21.
My name is Isabel. I am the WXTJ director, which means that I direct the student radio station. I help put on shows. I help put our programming together. I put on other events and stuff like that. And I’m Dana sun, WXTJ director of events and outreach. I help Isabel with putting on shows, running sound, and connecting WXTJ with the UVA student body and the Charlottesville community. WXTJ is UVA’s free form student radio. We do it all, from hosting radio shows to organizing live music events to connecting with UVA music community. WXTJ has always been about diversity and inclusion.
The UVA University Singers, the University of Virginia’s flagship choral ensemble, and faculty conductor Michael Slon recently returned from an extraordinary concert tour to the Baltics, extending UVA’s cultural reach to Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. Performing in five cities, the Singers had a chance to interact with distinguished musicians including composer Ēriks Ešenvalds, and members of the Latvian National Symphony Orchestra and National Opera Orchestra.
