We're delighted to welcome back Spokane Symphony concertmaster Mateusz Wolski to our KPBX studio for a conversation about his major "take aways" from the extended pandemic restrictions and his violin festival, created to help fill the void left by cancellation MusicFest Northwest. We'll hear from three student violinists chosen by festival adjudicators, and recorded in our KPBX studio last week: Elizabeth Stubblefield, playing the opening of Mozart's G major concerto, Christopher Anderson, playing Edmund Severn's "Polish Dance," and Jessie Morozov, playing the closing movement of Max Bruch's violin concerto. Many thanks to our pianists, Yi Chun Chen and Tiffany Wang.

This is called the Dolecast for... well, for obvious reasons. I am on the downward slope to imminent joblessness, with my last day at Proper Job now pencilled in for the 23rd of June - the day before Glastonbury, rather handily. Actually festivals are something of a feature this Summer, as there's that one, Kelburn, Rockness, Fusion out in Germany, and then Knockengorroch, which I will be driving out to the very second I hit 'post' on this. We're also looking at going out to Musicfest Northwest this year as well, and of course the rather splendid Fence Away Game. So erm, yes, maybe I should have called this the Festcast or something like that. Toadcast #124 - The Dolecast 01. The Wave Pictures - I Shall be a Ditchdigger (03.09)02.
