St. Peter's Arts Academy in Geneva; and CITY Magazine's August issue: coming up on "Connections," Tuesday, August 6, 2024

12:00: The past, present, and future of St. Peter's Community Arts Academy in Geneva

1:00: Discussing CITY Magazine’s August 2024 issue

Geneva is well known as a tourism destination in the Finger Lakes, but it also boasts a rich cultural scene, one that begins with the community’s children. St. Peter’s Community Arts Academy is entering its second decade of offering instruction in dance and music. Its choirs tour overseas and students have graduated to careers as professional artists. St. Peter's founders recently stepped down to enjoy a well-deserved retirement. This hour, guest host Kelly Walker talks with new leadership about St. Peter’s Community Arts Academy’s rich history and their plans for the next two decades. Our guests:

  • Kirsten Burrall, managing director for St. Peter's Community Arts Academy
  • Christopher Fanning, executive support board member for St. Peter's Community Arts Academy

Then in our second hour, it's not a “best 10” or a “top 10” list, but rather, a chance to spotlight local people giving back to the community in myriad ways—CITY's "Rochester 10" issue hit stands last week, and the crew is here to talk about all the design, storytelling and photography that goes into this issue. Editor-in-chief Leah Stacy guest hosts this discussion. Our guests:

  • Leah Stacy, editor-in-chief of CITY Magazine
  • Patrick Hosken, arts writer for CITY Magazine
  • Jacob Walsh, art director for CITY Magazine
  • Rafael Rodriguez, freelance photographer
  • Daniel Kushner, arts writer for CITY Magazine
  • Gino Fanelli, investigations and City Hall reporter for WXXI News, and contributor to CITY Magazine
  • Tony Brown, owner and music booker/promoter for Live!
