An Evening with Norman: Live classical music, mysteries and more!

Before WPR Midday Classics Host, Norman Gilliland, retires in June, spend the evening with him and WPR Music Network Director, Peter Bryant. You’ll hear music from the UW-Milwaukee Peck School of the Arts Classical Guitar Department, attempt to solve some “After the Fact Mysteries” and answer Midday Quiz questions. Peter will also talk with Norman about some of his favorite memories at WPR.

It's Wednesday, May 13 at the Pump House Regional Arts Center. The evening kicks off at 6:30 p.m. with live music from the La Crosse Symphony Orchestra. The show starts at 7 p.m.

For over 40 years, Norman Gilliland has been behind the mic, creating the soundtrack to our lives, enlightening and entertaining us with “Midday Classics,” “Grace Notes,” “The Midday Quiz,” “Chapter A Day” and so much more.
