Tony Offerle, Scott Wilson and two of the students from the UF School of Music recently stopped by WUFT Classic.

“Magnum Opus” host Richard Drake spoke with Offerle and Wilson about this year’s College of the Arts scholarship fundraiser, "Splendor: Let the Good Times Roll," at the Nadine McGuire Theatre and Dance Pavilion. Baritone Kevin Wheatle and tenor Gabriel Sanchez took to the WUFT Classic Performance Studio to give us a sample of what was in store for the audience at "Splendor."
