Thursday Jul. 8th, 2021
The 14th season of Montana PBS’s award-winning series “11th and Grant with Eric Funk” will feature six performers. It will be filmed in July and will begin airing this winter.
The Emmy Award-winning series seeks out respected musicians in Montana and invites them into viewers’ homes, fusing in-depth interviews with performances in the KUSM-TV studio, located at 11th and Grant on the Montana State University campus in Bozeman. The series is hosted by composer and MSU music professor Eric Funk.
This season will feature a variety of music, including baroque, country-folk, opera, jazz, Americana and brass.
The filming schedule follows by date and musical performer:
Sunday, July 18: Carrie Krause and Baroque Music Montana
Monday, July 19: The Lucky Valentines
Tuesday, July 20: Bobcat Brass Trio
Wednesday, July 21: Frederick Frey and Friends
Thursday, July 22: Adam Platt Trio
Friday, July 23: Jim Salestrom
Aaron Pruitt, director and general manager of Montana PBS, said the station is looking forward to resuming in-studio production of the program after the 2020 recording schedule was delayed by COVID-19.
“We adapted many of our programs last year due to the pandemic, but we knew we wanted to provide our ‘11th and Grant’ audiences and musical guests with the exceptional in-studio quality for which this series is renowned,” Pruitt said. “We decided to postpone our production schedule last summer until we could bring everyone back together in a safe environment, and we’re looking forward to doing so next month.”
The first new episode of the series will premiere in November. Additional episodes will be released in the winter and spring of 2022 and through 2023.
