Bonnie Grice

  For over 20 years, Bonnie Grice has programmed some of the most listened-to music on public radio. Her wealth of radio experience, producing/hosting and interviewing, add up to a standard of professionalism that she has spent a lifetime developing.

She hosted her first live talk show at WMUB in Oxford, Ohio, while pursuing a Master's Degree in Mass Communication at Miami University. She was the fine arts editor and daily music host at WKSU in Kent and then the morning drive host and producer/host of a weekly arts magazine for KUSC in Los Angeles.

Bonnie's tenure as producer/announcer in public radio includes other NPR affiliates such as WNYC in New York and WGBH in Boston, plus a variety of commercial stations including KKGO in Los Angeles and its sister station in San Francisco. Currently, she freelances as host/producer for NPR in Washington, DC, and can be heard coast-to-coast Monday through Friday on the nationally syndicated jazz network, Jazzworks.

Bonnie leads a busy life outside of radio. She is a librettist and author. In July 1993, the two-act chamber opera, Mrs. Dalloway, for which Bonnie wrote the libretto based on the novel by Virginia Woolf, had its critically-acclaimed world premiere by Lyric Opera Cleveland (music by Libby Larsen). And in the fall of 1994, Bonnie wrote the book From Z to A - A Classical Lover's Alternative, a unique, somewhat quirky, yet inclusive guide to the great composers, from Zappa to John Adams. Bonnie is also a flutist and an aspiring singer. She's spent some time in the theatre as both actor and producer. Plus, she's an avid fan of football and fast cars.
