Applause is an Emmy award-winning locally produced TV show that celebrates artists and cultural groups around Cleveland and Northeast Ohio. Each week this on-air arts magazine broadcasts a fresh half-hour of features, performances, on-location reports, and interviews from the studios of WVIZ/PBS ideastream. Special thanks to the Oberlin Conservatory of Music at Oberlin College for the use of their Steinway Piano on Around Noon/Applause.

Jazz saxophonist and composer Bobby Selvaggio stops in at the Idea Center to talk with Dee about growing up as the son of local jazz legend Pete Selvaggio, the son’s passion and affinity for the music, and what it’s been like sharing his experiences by teaching others. Mr. Selvaggio will also perform a few of his original pieces. Then, it’s a rare, behind-the-scenes look at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History. How does the museum prepare for upcoming exhibits? Where do they store the pieces that aren’t on display? The APPLAUSE cameras will take viewers on a tour they won’t be able to get anywhere else.
