Marta Zekan The KING FM Arts Channel Host
Thanks for checking out the Arts Channel! Bringing Northwest arts and the arts-curious public together, broadcasting online at www.king.org and in HD at 98.1 HD3 in Seattle.
In case you’re wondering who is putting this arts sampler together, here’s a little bit about me. I came to KING FM in 1994 after being on-air at other classical stations, including San Diego’s KFSD and Denver’s KVOD and KCFR.
Before classical radio, I was a musician and theatre artist in Southern California. By the time I graduated from UC San Diego, my unfocused musical life had morphed into a very focused theatrical one. I was fortunate to have years of steady work as a theatre musician and musical director, sound designer, and voice teacher. Working in theatre led to many crazy, hilarious, weird and enlightening arts experiences on the side. I finished up an M.F.A. in Voice Training at the National Theatre Conservatory in Denver, with a few months in London for thesis research, just before moving to Seattle. I picked Seattle because of its fantastic arts reputation and I have never been disappointed. Enrichment, entertainment, inspiration - it’s exciting to be able to present the tip of the Northwest Arts iceberg (and I mean that in a good way!) to you, here on the Arts Channel.
