As he prepares to retire in June, join us as we celebrate his career on May 21 at 7 p.m. at Atwood Music Hall.

WPR Music Program Director Peter Bryant will host the evening’s festivities, sitting down with Norman to reminisce and reflect on his incredible career. You’ll have a chance to ask Norman questions or share your favorite memories, too. Come early or stick around after the program to hear live classical music from (artist to be announced), who will perform starting at 6:30 p.m. and during a reception after the program.
