A Front Row Seat at Discovery Green

If you're an avid supporter of Houston's music, theatre, museum, dance or arts scenes, chances are you listen to KUHF's The Front Row every weekday from noon to 1:00 p.m. The show, now in its fifth year, takes an hour each day to profile a local musician, artist, curator, dancer, actor or writer -- anyone in Houston's cultural arts scene is fair game for the popular show. Listenership is estimated at 17,000 per day, and that doesn't even include the number of people who listen to the broadcast online or catch the rerun each night at 10:00 p.m.

Recent interviews on The Front Row have showcased such diverse talents as Larry Wilmore, the "Senior Black Correspondent" on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart; members of Project Divisi, the city's newest and darkest orchestra; Dominic Walsh, former principal dancer with the Houston Ballet and founder of the local cutting-edge ballet company, Dominic Walsh Dance Theatre; and poet Maya Angelou.

This coming Friday, you'll have the chance to see the show in its first live broadcast from a public venue, which will take place at Discovery Green:

Join The Front Row team for a live broadcast as they take KUHF's daily performing arts show on the road to Discovery Green's outdoor stage on Friday, March 6 from 12-1 pm. This is the first time all KUHF listeners will have the opportunity to be in the audience and witness first hand the production of a live show. Plus, we'll have great prize drawings for the audience! The program will feature several performances including a preview of the silent film concert with Austin's Invincible Czars.

If you get there before us, save us a good lawn seat. We can't think of a better way to spend our lunch hour on a gorgeous spring afternoon.
