Craft Works explores and collaborates with other musicians and experts about the process of crafting music and shares this via podcast and live events.  Its next podcast release is Bel Sancto- a special pre-Holy Week focus on this scandalously operatic sacred music. 

Susan writes and produces stories about music and the arts. She’s host and producer of WRTI’s TIME IN online interview series, and contributes weekly intermission interviews for The Philadelphia Orchestra in Concert series. She’s also been a regular host of WRTI’s Live from the Performance Studio sessions.
