Extra Eclectic - Oct. 26, 2022

Composer and performer Molly Joyce’s music is primarily concerned with using a disability as a creative source. After an auto accident that deformed her left hand, she began to explore ways to be musical that accommodated her disability. In graduate school, she began an independent study on disability and the arts. During that study, she found that her disabled hand allowed her to create distinct music that incorporated the differing abilities of her hands. Listen to her music and more on this week's episode of Extra Eclectic, with guest host Ward Jacobson.

Ward Jacobson has enjoyed a radio career spanning over two decades as a morning show host and sportscaster, as well as producer/host of an interview program where he chatted with authors, musicians, politicians and newsmakers. He is also a past winner of the prestigious Marconi Award. Jacobson's love of classical music stems from a childhood influenced by his bass-baritone father and piano-teaching mother. While still a college student in Nebraska, he began singing with the Abendmusik Chorus and took part in concert tours to venues as varied as Englands Lincoln Cathedral, the Vatican, Salzburg Cathedral, Auschwitz and Moscow. When not singing, he works to develop his guitar-strumming repertoire.
