Dee Perry welcomes back violin virtuoso Tracy Silverman who takes his band Three Part Invention to The Akron Art Museum tomorrow night for the Fuze series. He performs live with acclaimed pianist Philip Aaberg. Plus we share the story of Ohio's first African-American college graduate, John Newton Templeton, who's at the center of the award-winning play - Free Man of Color - onstage for Ensemble Theater. Plus we bid a fond farewell to local piano man Skeets Ross, who passed away earlier this week.
