Good afternoon, and welcome to SPR’s Northwest Arts Review, a half hour exploring the people, places and events forming the rich arts tapestry we enjoy here in the Inland Northwest, and our wider intermountain Northwest region. Today we’ll hear a young Spokane artist’s fascinating and quite different back story, also celebrate an expansion of our SPR artistic outreach, and check Nathan Weinbender’s response to a new Netflix documentary. Our music going in is familiar to many, Robert Schumann’s Arabesque for piano, played in our KPBX performance studio by New York-based Peggy Reich. She’ll join us later in the program to show how this music fits into her recital and presentation called “Music, the Speech of Angels.”
