Listen as M.J. Albacete dives deep into lore of the classical canon, spanning centuries of musicians and their music. Albacete has been a museum administrator, arts scholar, music reviewer, educator, writer, photographer, and presenter of public programs on a host of historical and cultural topics. 

“Music transcends time, leaps across cultural and ethnic borders, reveals the most sacred rites of worship, enriches our senses to the beauty of foreign languages, provides comfort in times of sorrow, and is ever present in every joyous celebration.” – M.J. Albacete

Albacete lives in North Canton with his wife Pat, and is very active in the general arts community as a speaker on art, architecture, music, and other topics which interest him.  He continues to teach a course in the history of architecture as adjunct professor in the Art Department of Kent State University Stark Campus.
