Cheryl Willoughby, long-time VPR
Classical host and director of music programming, will be leaving VPR
to accept a new position of Music Director at WGBH in Boston. Cheryl will oversee all classical music programming for
the station.
During her time at VPR, Cheryl
contributed greatly to the formation and growth of VPR Classical. She
began hosting her daily morning program just after WNCH 88.1 went on
the air in the Upper Valley in 2004.
It was under her leadership as
music director that VPR Classical has grown and
has steadily increased its local programming and community
partnerships, as seen most recently with the month-long 60th
anniversary celebration of the Marlboro Music Festival this summer.
Cheryl’s last day at Vermont Public
Radio will be this Friday, September 9th. We will miss her but wish
her well in her new adventure.
During a transition period, you will
hear a new line-up of programming on VPR Classical beginning Monday,
September 12. Walter Parker will host from 9 a.m. - 1 p.m.
time slot, followed by two hours of Performance Today with Fred Child.
Joe Goetz will continue to host from 3-7 p.m.
Stay tuned for more
details as we work to continue our mission to increase our local
presence and content on VPR Classical.
