Meet Melissa Bialecki Miller
Please join us in welcoming Melissa (Mel) Bialecki Miller to the Classical 90.9 team. Mel joins us as the next John Frayne Classical Music Graduate Student Fellow. “I’m excited for this opportunity to bring classical music to the local community,” she said. “My background is in academia, and what I’ve always found most rewarding about that work is education and outreach. Whenever I see a student enjoy a genre of music they might never have engaged with before, or realize something new about a piece they already enjoy, that’s when I feel I’ve really done my job. Working with WILL feels like a natural extension of that work. I love talking about music, I love telling stories, and I’m looking forward to learning to do all of that through the medium of radio.”
