About This Episode
In 2016 Big Top Chautauqua
celebrated its 30th season in operation. It was a special evening
when members of the Duluth Superior Symphony Orchestra joined Big
Top's house band The Blue Canvas Orchestra and played an
interesting and entertaining evening of music led by Ed Willet.
The collaborative group played a
range from classic Big Top songs, original and traditional works,
and light classical selections. The whole show was illuminated by
images on the big screen by Betty Ferris.
It was a special celebratory night
to be at the tent. Listen in for this episode and feel the classic
Big Top magic beaming through the airwaves.
