Kelly Walker guest hosting "Connections with Evan Dawson" on Tuesday, August 6, 2024

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:

Megan Mack is the executive producer of "Connections with Evan Dawson" and live/televised engagement programming.
Julie Williams is an associate producer for "Connections with Evan Dawson" and is also the office administrator for radio, news and technology and operations. She started at WXXI in 2019 and has been working on Connections since 2022.
