E\"\"<\/a>ric Glissmeyer is Classical 89\u2019s Program Services Manager, and on-air host for\u00a0Music for a Sunday Morning<\/em>. He has loved listening to the radio ever since he was a child. He grew up with popular music and rock and roll, and he began his record collection at age 14. His introduction to classical music came through the accordion. He studied the instrument at Larry Pino Conservatory in Holladay. Each year the conservatory took an accordion ensemble to competition with each member taking a part of the orchestral score of a symphony movement. Later he became immersed in classical music as a vocal performance student at BYU, where he received a Master of Music degree. As a student, he began working at Classical 89 and he joined the full-time staff in 1991. As Program Services Manager he selects and schedules all of the station’s programming. Glissmeyer continues to have a passion for performing, and as often as time allows still works with various local organizations, including the Hale Center Theater and Scera Orem. He also enjoys watching movies, and spending time with his family.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"e\"What are you reading lately:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"e\"I recently read\u00a0The Silmarillion<\/em>\u00a0by Tolkien for the second time. Some of it is hard reading, and I\u2019d have been lost without another trusty book called \u201cThe Complete Tolkien Companion.\u201d It tells stories from the first and second ages of Middle Earth, and I find it fascinating. I don\u2019t think that Tolkien\u2019s writing itself is all that spectacular, but I think his genius lies in the world he created, with its detailed interconnections between characters, places, events, etc. I also began reading\u00a0The Hobbit<\/em>\u00a0again, in preparation for the film coming out at the end of the year. I can\u2019t wait!<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0What is your favorite building in Utah?
\n<\/span>
\n\"\"I love Abravanel Hall, especially the concert hall itself, with its beautiful chandeliers and gold leaf. Of course, the beauty of the music that takes place in the building surpasses even the beauty of the architecture.<\/p>\n

\"designWhat’s the most memorable concert you’ve been to lately?<\/span><\/p>\n

\"designI am completely enamored of the live movie theater broadcasts from the Metropolitan Opera, and I have particularly enjoyed Wagner\u2019s\u00a0Ring Cycle<\/em>. The singing, playing, and acting has been top-notch, and there is so much to look at with the set, projections, costumes, etc. I\u2019ll never forget the time I\u2019ve spent watching these operas.<\/p>\n

\"designIf you could choose one piece of music to be your theme song what would it be?<\/span><\/p>\n

\"design\u00a0The Nimrod variation in Elgar\u2019s\u00a0Enigma Variations<\/em>. You may know that each variation in the composition represents one of Elgar\u2019s inner circle, and when I hear Nimrod, I think, \u201cWow, that guy must have been something special.\u201d Not that I\u2019m all that special\u2026but I hope that someday people will remember me with the fondness and respect that Elgar had for his friend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
