Veteran Boston broadcaster Ron Della Chiesa has a new memoir out called Radio My Way: Featuring Celebrity Profiles from Jazz, Opera, the American Songbook and More. You can read a profile of Ron on the WBUR blog here. The book has a foreword by Brian Bell, Ron’s partner-in-crime at Tanglewood and the Boston Symphony Orchestra. You can read about the two of them and sound engineer Jim Donahue in this article about Tanglewood’s 20th anniversary.
For the last two decades, Boston radio personality Ron Della Chiesa has been the “voice of Tanglewood,” hosting Friday and Sunday broadcasts for WGBH that are then aired around the region on other public radio stations. Della Chiesa is one-third of an all-star team that has been together through thick and thin for twenty years working with the Boston Symphony Orchestra at Tanglewood and at Symphony Hall in Boston, including producer Brian Bell and sound engineer Jim Donahue.
Bravo to Ron and the team that supports him in Boston.

Marty,
Thanks so much for your kind words about “Radio My Way” and my 20 years hosting the BSO broadcasts.
My producer Brian Bell and engineeer Jim Donahue are looking forward to another season from Tanglewood for the 75th Anniversay season.
One of the highlights last year was hearing Mutti’s Otello in Carnegie Hall.
It was one of those legendary performances that will be talked about for years to come.
My wife and I hope to come to Chicago sometime this fall.
It would be great to meet you for dinner and conversation.
Continued success in all the great things you have done for classcial music.
As Sinatra said…stay tuned..”The Best is Yet to Come!”
Ron
I hope you have my book. If not I’ll be glad to send you one.
