Meet Don Voegeli! He was a prolific composer who wrote the theme song for National Public Radio’s “All Things Considered,” a program NPR has been using the theme song for 47 years! Don, a University of Wisconsin professor, worked as music director and in other roles during his 41-year career at Wisconsin Public Radio. He wrote lots of music for public broadcasting, and other purposes, including national jingles in the 1950s and 1960s theater, television and educational films.

Don’s son, Jim, will speak about his father and play sound clips. He will talk about the history of the “All Things Considered” theme, public radio in Wisconsin, and the creation of National Public Radio.

A Bonus! Everyone attending will be given or sent a four CD set of music, along with a booklet containing a detailed history and musical linear notes.
