WRTI adds to its amazing new setting on Cecil B. Moore Ave. on Temple’s main campus with the completion this week of a state-of-the-art recording studio! The opening of this wonderful studio is timed to coincide with the arrival of the touring Peace Piano, and a series of performances by excellent and award-winning classical and jazz artists makes this an exciting week at WRTI. The Peace Piano event is sponsored by UNICEF, Steinway and locally by Jacobs Music. Weston Sound is recording the entire groundbreaking three day event, and is producing the resulting CDs and broadcast. The partnership between WRTI and Weston Sound means that capable Weston Sound engineers will be on hand at this recording studio for many future projects and incoming recording artists at the request of the station. Check out the stills of the new studio (click on thumbnails for larger images) For more information on this wonderful studio and what it offers, click here. |
