Sarah Zaslaw joined GPB in 1998 and two years later won the GABBY Award for best locally produced radio show. Now as music director she produces and hosts three programs—Serendipity, Front Row Georgia and The ASO on GPB—and is the voice of GPB Classical. Sarah grew up playing violin and never stopped. She did classical radio for fun in college, studied half a dozen languages, earned two history degrees and worked as a freelance book editor before melding her loves for sounds, cultures and words into a career in public media. About music, she agrees with Duke Ellington: “If it sounds good, it is good.”

This weekend, GPB TV will air the documentary, My Boléro, about Stutzmann's first time conducting the famous 1928 orchestral work by French composer Maurice Ravel.
