WFUV-FM (90.7) will continue its public service campaign, "Strike a Chord," this fall with a series about music education in schools.
Through Nov. 15, the station will spotlight a range of non-profit organizations that work to strengthen and restore music education in schools throughout the metropolitan region.
As part of its mission with the series, WFUV is partnering with the Broadway musical "Memphis" to showcase the best music being performed in high schools.
The station is inviting high school vocal and instrumental groups to send short videos of themselves performing a song reflecting the musical heritage of Memphis, with the winning group receiving a block of tickets to see the play. Contest rules can be found at wfuv.org/memphis/ rules.
A special edition of "Cityscape," the station's public affairs program, on Oct. 30 will include interviews with two advocates for arts programs in schools: actress Carol Channing and Bon Jovi keyboard player David Bryan, who co-wrote the music for "Memphis."
WFUV News Director George Bodarky is also planning a news series focusing on music education beginning Monday.
