The Steve Grives Podcast: Meditation, Mindfulness, and (Sometimes) Music

We talk about Bagels with our panel of experts, Anthony Henderson and Natalie Friedman. Also available on YouTube.

I catch up with conductor/composer Tim Tharaldson about music, the people and places that connect us, and about our mutual love of the Estonian composer Arvo Pärt.

In this installment, I'm joined by Jeremy Mims, (Winthrop University), for our first vegetarian dish, a comforting Mushroom/Asparagus Risotto. Jeremy talks about COVID-era adjustments he's made at Winthrop as we stir broth into some rice. This episode is also available on my YouTube channel "Steve Grives"

Not an episode, but a quick reminder that the “Conductors in the Kitchen Series" is up on my YouTube channel "Steve Grives." I have 4 episodes up already, including my latest, "The Art of the Bagel."  Check it out! Audio episodes of "Making Connections" will be available every other week.

This episode, I am joined by the creative and production team of the documentary series, "Choral Singing in America." Jerry Blackstone, Brian Gaukel, and Matt Workman discuss the genesis of the project, their individual roles in the production of the series, and the relevance of their film at this particular moment in history. Information about the project can be found on the Choral Singing in America Facebook page, or at their website http://choralsinging.org

Pete Schleif (Shattuck - St. Mary's School, Northfield, MN) joins Steve to make Shrimp in a Creamy Tomato Sauce, and to talk about his unique experience as a choir director at a boarding school.

Erin Colwitz (Director of Choirs at Northern Michigan University) and I make one of Bill Dehning's favorite recipes: Pork Scallopini.  This simple recipe features thin "scallops" of pork in a Dijon cream sauce. We served it over pasta, simply dressed with oil, garlic, and red pepper flakes.

In a special bonus episode, I talk with my friends Frank Albinder, Emily Cain, and Danny Williams about their unique Holiday Traditions and read a few blurbs from our past guests and podcast supporters. Happy Holidays!

In the finale to Season 2, I catch up with my Bowdoin College classmate, actor Paul Adelstein. We talk about his career, some insights on acting, and try our best to piece together what we remember about each other from college.
