This week we spend some time at a rehearsal for MasterWorks Chorale. We talk to members of the choir—and Artistic Director Kerry Glann—about what makes the local singing group special. Also, our Resident Reader Stephanie Wiechmann sits down with the 2026 Ball State Writer-in-Residence Varian Johnson to learn about his upcoming visit. And we talk with two musical talents: touring Hoosier musician Taylor Bickett (with a hometown show October 9) and Indianapolis native Marcus Elliott (actor in “The Wiz” at Emens October 15).
