Suzanne Bona Speaks Passionately About Classical Music: Concert Tonight!

Suzanne Bona of Sunday Baroque.
An accomplished flute player, Suzanne Bona will perform tonight, Wednesday, March 20th in Moscow, Idaho with guitarist James Reid.

Suzanne spoke about the importance of classical music to nearly 100 guests at Moscow’s 1912 Center during a NWPB fundraising luncheon.

Suzanne related how she took music for granted for a long time. Her family was very musical and it was second nature to be surrounded by melodies. But after becoming a radio host and hearing from listeners on how music helped them through tough times, Suzanne began a deeper appreciation for classical music. 

After a delightful lunch and dessert, Suzanne encouraged the guests to be patrons of classical music and to encourage others to do the same.  

Hear Suzanne perform music tonight with guitarist James Reid at the University of Idaho Admin Auditorium. Doors open at 6:30pm ad the concert starts at 7. 

Tickets are $15 and available at Brown Paper Tickets.

Then on Thursday afternoon, Suzanne joins Anjuli Dodhia to host classical music from 1-3pm on NWPB.

Seattle Veterans Affairs staffer alleges whistleblower retaliation

A staffer for the Veterans Affairs Puget Sound Health Care System has alleged retaliation after he spoke out about the deteriorating conditions of a building on the south Seattle campus that housed specialty clinics and office space.
Douglas Galuszka, chief of logistics, was issued two suspensions totaling three weeks of unpaid leave this year. He said VA administrators punished him for calling attention to leadership failures at the hospital and talking with press. According to Galuszka, the two suspensions he served mark the only discipline he has received in his seven years working for the VA. Prior to the suspensions, Galuszka said, he was not counseled by a supervisor or required to go through training.
