ROSIE STEVENSON
Midday Classics
Rosie Stevenson enjoyed working at Classical 89 during her undergraduate work at BYU. She describes being a one-woman show thusly: taking a phone request, dashing into the library to find the big LP, cueing it up on the turntable while devouring the liner notes, introducing it live, then taking the next call and starting all over again. Returning to Classical 89 as a creative producer, Rosie loves classical music even more. She credits her mother, Carma, for taking her out of school for every concert imaginable, her father Richard Anderson's example of serious listening, lessons from her grandfather Gerrit de Jong, studies in early music at BYU and Stanford, performing in ancient instrument, classical, and folk ensembles, and attending hundreds of harp lessons for her daughters. She's on a personal quest to experience the breadth of musical styles everywhere she has lived, including New York, Salzburg, and Spring City. Rosie is married to Ford L. Stevenson, former BYU ski coach who, after a career of 34 years, retired as dean of student academic and advisement services at BYU. They enjoy the outdoors, music, art, world travel, and their children and grandchildren.
