Ward Jacobson
WNIU Classical Music HostWith more than two decades in radio, Ward's career has included stints as a morning show host, sportscaster and interview program host. He is also a past winner of the prestigious Marconi Award. Ward's love of classical music stems from a childhood influenced by his bass-baritone father and piano-teaching mother. While still a college student in Nebraska, he began singing with the Abendmusik Chorus and took part in concert tours to venues as varied as England's Lincoln Cathedral, the Vatican, Salzburg Cathedral, Auschwitz and Moscow. When not singing, he works to develop his guitar-strumming repertoire.
