The partnership is supported by funding provided by the Adventure Culture Fund, which supports cultural programming in Colorado Springs through anonymous, private donations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis project will be instrumental in establishing the Ent Center\u2019s community reputation as a premiere venue, and elevating its national standing (and that of Colorado Springs) as a destination for world-class music and culture,\u201d said Aisha Ahmad-Post, director, Ent Center for the Arts, and artistic director of the Artist Series.<\/p>\n<p>Performances from the Artist Series\u2019 inaugural season have been recorded at the Ent Center and will be heard on American Public Media\u2019s \u201cPerformance Today,\u201d which is carried on nearly 300 stations with a weekly national audience of about 1.4 million listeners. KCME will also produce and distribute a 13-week series of one-hour programs free of charge to radio stations around the country through Public Radio Exchange.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKCME has a long tradition of being a strong, local voice for the arts, but this is a chance for us to reveal the musical riches of the Pikes Peak region to listeners around the country. We\u2019re thrilled at the vitality of the programming of the Ent Center, and we\u2019re confident that this will be a transformative partnership for our city,\u201d said George Preston, general manager, KCME.<\/p>\n<p>The Adventure Culture Fund\u2019s commitment not only makes the recordings and broadcasts possible, but provides direct support to the UCCS Presents Artist Series to bring world-class artists to Colorado Springs. This partnership elevates the musical experience for both Ent Center audiences and national radio listeners.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8211;by Michelle Winchell<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Select classical music performances at the Ent Center for the Arts through the UCCS Presents Artists Series will be broadcast and distributed nationally in a new agreement with KCME radio.  <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/?p=31576\" title=\"UCCS Presents, KCME to collaborate on nationally syndicated broadcasts from Ent Center\">(More)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":30795,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[1,45],"tags":[412,60,91],"class_list":["post-31576","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-all","category-arts-and-culture","tag-ent-center","tag-student-success","tag-uccs-presents"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/ent-gala-crowd.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1mBpJ-8di","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31576","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=31576"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31576\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":135555,"href":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31576\/revisions\/135555"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/30795"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=31576"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=31576"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=31576"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
