Performance Today receives Haas Prize

The Karl Haas Prize for Music Education represents the evolution of the Lifetime Achievement Awards given by the Klassix Society, the official friends' organization of 88.7KXMS/Fine Arts Radio International® as one of two Fine Arts Radio International Awards.

By way of a new concept in radio programming in 1987, music lovers became aware that exceptional classical music is performed daily all over the United States. More significantly, that new concept, a series created by NPR called Performance Today, proved that classical music enjoys a significant level of passion and vitality in America.

On the twentieth anniversary of Performance Today, the Klassix Society/Friends of 88.7KXMS recognized that this unique daily radio series has consistently embodied both the passion and the educational imperative that the late Karl Haas brought to millions of radio listeners over the course of 48 years with his Adventures in Good Music radio series. For that achievement, Performance Today was awarded the 2007 Karl Haas Prize for Music Education.

Broadcaster Karl Haas was recipient of the first Lifetime Achievement Award in 2000 for his unparalleled contribution to classical music education via Adventures in Good Music. Subsequent recipients of the Lifetime Achievement Award were Peter Schickele, Martin Bookspan, Leonard Slatkin, and Bill McGlaughlin.

In 2005, upon the death of Haas, the award was re-focused to reflect its initial impetus: it became the Karl Haas Prize for Music Education. That same year, the first recipient of the renamed accolade was Classical Kids, an outstanding series of classical music recordings produced by The Children’s Group under its founder Susan Hammond. The second Karl Haas Prize was awarded to Christopher O’Riley, host of From the Top, an exceptional radio series produced in Boston featuring talented young performers from across the United States.

In Performance Today's transition from its original home at National Public Radio to its new address in St. Paul, Minnesota, American Public Media was excited to announce that Fred Child, the highly-acclaimed host of NPR's Performance Today, would remain as host when American Public Media assumed production and distribution of the program from NPR in January 2007.

"This is a perfect partnership -- the most ambitious daily classical music show teaming up with American Public Media," said Child. "No other media company in the country has comparable experience, expertise and creativity in broadcasting classical music. The team of producers, hosts and audio engineers at American Public Media is unmatched in its dedication to music. I'm proud and honored to be joining the team."

Shred-It bins for confidential information

Bob Harrington, Physical Plant, says the University uses Shred-It as a source for shredding and recycling confidential materials. Shred-It bins, for items to be shredded, are located in several locations on campus.

"I ask you to please only put confidential materials in these bins," Bob says. "The service cost us $.15 per pound to shred and our regular recycle collection comes at no additional cost. I would ask you to please be very aware of what you put into the Shred-It bins."

Bob says if the material is not confidential, without student names and Social Security numbers or other secure information on them, it should be placed in the regular recycling boxes.
