The publishers of ThirdCoast Digest announced today that former Milwaukee Journal Sentinel performing arts writer Tom Strini is now contributing a new column exclusively for TCD.
"We're excited to welcome the extraordinarily talented and highly-respected Tom Strini to ThirdCoast Digest," said TCD co-publisher Jon Anne Willow. "Strini's vast knowledge and experience will help establish ThirdCoast Digest as the leading destination for news and criticism about arts and culture in the Milwaukee region."
"Strini's Culture Desk" will take on a broader swath of Milwaukee's cultural scene than his most recent beat at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, which was primarily music and dance. Strini will offer his take on the traditional performing arts - classical music, concert dance, theater, visual art and architecture - while also writing about broader topics including cooking, design, and the unexpected aesthetic moments of everyday life.
"My commitment to covering the Milwaukee arts scene has never been greater," Strini said. "I am grateful to ThirdCoast Digest for the opportunity to continue doing what I love, and I'm looking forward to helping build this online magazine into Milwaukee's most important source for news, commentary, reviews and feature stories related to the performing arts, the visual arts, architecture, and to the art of living."
Tom Strini served The Milwaukee Journal and then the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel as dance critic, critic at large and music and dance critic for almost 27 years. He was one of several Journal Sentinel writers who took a buyout and left the paper on July 31, as the paper downsized.
