(Harrisburg, PA) WITF Welcomes Hershey Violins

Deborah and Scott Hershey of Hershey Violins and Odin Rathnam, Concertmaster of the Harrisburg Symphony Orchestra, were recently invited to tour the WITF Public Media Center as the guests of Gail Huganir, Executive Editor of Central PA Magazine.

The invitation came as a result of the upcoming article, “History Repeated” which will appear in the magazine’s November issue. The article, written by Deborah Hershey, is the story of violinmaker Scott Hershey copying a 254-year-old Bartolomeo Calvarola violin for Harrisburg Symphony Orchestra’s Concertmaster, Odin Rathnam.

WITF Radio Producer Cary Burkett conducted a recorded interview of Hershey and Rathnam about the four-month building project, which will air at a later date.
