A World of Services for Our Affiliates
We make great radio as affordable as possible:
•
•
•
Our production costs are primarily covered by our arts partners and outside funding, not from our
affiliates, marketing or sales.
Affiliation fees only apply when a station takes three or more programs. The actual affiliation fee
is based on a station’s market share. Affiliates are not charged fees for the selection of WFMT
Radio Network programs on the Public Radio Exchange (PRX).
Our Beethoven and Jazz Network overnight services cost is based on a sliding scale, depending
on the number of hours you use (the more hours you use, the lower the hourly rate). We also offer
reduced Beethoven and Jazz Network rates for HD broadcast. Through PRX, you can schedule
any hour of the Beethoven or Jazz Network throughout the day and the files are delivered a week
in advance for maximum flexibility.
We provide highly skilled technical support:
•
Programs are available through PRX or on compact disc. PRX delivers files to you days in
advance so you can schedule them for broadcast at your convenience. We provide technical
support in conjunction with PRX to answer all your distribution questions.
We keep you informed about our shows and help you promote them to your listeners:
•
Affiliates receive our quarterly Network Notebook with all our program offerings, and our regular
online WFMT Radio Network Newsletter, with news updates, previews of upcoming shows and
more. We also make multimedia and other digital assets available to you to augment your
station’s website, social media and other methods of outreach.
Our service is personal, informed and complete:
•
We believe in dedicated customer service. We can help you find the right program to fit into your
schedule. On our website you’ll find information on all past, present and future shows. We are
eager to hear from you.

The WFMT Radio Network is proud to make the American Opera Series available to our affiliates.
The American Opera Series is designed to complement the Metropolitan Opera Broadcasts, filling in the
schedule to complete the year. This year the American Opera Series features great performances by the
Lyric Opera of Chicago, LA Opera, San Francisco Opera, Glimmerglass Festival and Opera
Southwest (see elsewhere in this document for information on each Opera company). The American
Opera Series for 2015 will bring distinction to your station’s schedule, and unmatched enjoyment to your
listeners. We hope you’ll join us!
Highlights of the American Opera Series include:
•
The American Opera Series celebrates the Fourth of July (which falls on a Saturday) with Lyric
Opera of Chicago’s stellar production of George Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess.
•
LA Opera brings us The Figaro Trilogy, including Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro, Rossini’s
The Barber of Seville, and John Corigliano’s The Ghosts of Versailles.
•
The world premiere of Marco Tutino’s Two Women (La Ciociara) starring Anna Caterina
Antonacci, based on the novel by Alberto Moravia that became a classic film, staged by San
Francisco Opera.
•
Opera Southwest’s notable reconstruction of Franco Faccio’s 1865 opera Amleto (Hamlet),
believed lost for over 135 years, in its American premiere.
In addition, this season we’re pleased to announce that we are now including multimedia assets for use
on your station’s website and publications! You can find the supplemental materials at the following link:

The highly successful classical music radio format service of the WFMT Radio Network, the
Beethoven Network, celebrates over three decades of service and continues to grow.
Beethoven Network provides one-hour modules of classical music, culled from WFMT’s
extensive library of thousands of recordings. The service was originally designed to help public
radio stations expand their local operation and improve the quality of late night programming.
Designed for you and your listeners, all Beethoven Network hours can be fully customized as
your local program product. The service features flexibility in each hourly module, permitting
network or local break opportunities, top-of-the-hour news, underwriting credits or commercials
and local program promotions.
Here are some comments about Beethoven Network (all quotes are from letters on file):
“Radio is a companion to people and Peter van de Graaff is an excellent one. I like his
style and format approach. It’s very intelligent programming.”
“We are overwhelmed (but not surprised) by the positive response of our listeners to
[BN’s] return to our airwaves. We have a steady stream of comments, and many of them
have backed them up with hefty financial contributions.”

PETER VAN DE GRAAFF
Music Host
PETER VAN DE GRAAFF, Host
Peter Van De Graaff is recognized nationwide as a leader in classical music
broadcasting. After beginning his radio career in 1984 at KBYU, he came to 98.7 WFMT as a
staff announcer in 1988. For the past 17 years he has been the host of the Beethoven Satellite
Network, a nationally-syndicated daily program carried on over 200 stations. Since 1996 he has
been the program director of the service as well. He has also hosted such nationwide broadcast
series as Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, the Van Cliburn Piano Series, Opera from the
European Broadcasting Union, Music of the Baroque and the Vermeer Quartet.
Hailed by the critics as possessing a "resplendent voice" and "rich, burnished sound" with
"formidable skill" and a "commanding grace and strength", bass-baritone Peter Van De Graaff
has sung to great acclaim throughout the world. In Europe, he performed and recorded a Mass
by Jan Vorisek with the Czech State Symphony under Paul Freeman and has also sung
Beethoven's Missa Solemnis throughout the Czech Republic and Poland with the Czech
Philharmonic. He appeared in Berlin with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in Schoenberg's
Moses und Aaron. In Budapest he sang with the Budapest Concert Orchestra in Verdi's Requiem
and in Tel Aviv, the Israeli Chamber Orchestra joined him in a Mozart Mass.
As a recitalist he appeared in Tokyo. His singing has also taken him throughout the
United States, where his appearances include engagements with the Houston Symphony,
Chicago Symphony, Utah Symphony, San Antonio Symphony, Syracuse Symphony, Louisiana
Philharmonic, Omaha Symphony, Wichita Symphony, Colorado Springs Symphony, Richmond
Symphony and many, many others. Conductors with whom he has worked include Pierre
Boulez, Christopher Wilkins, Paul Freeman, Bernard Labadie, Paul Hillier, Joseph Silverstein,
Robert Page, Thomas Wikman, Jane Glover, Klaus-Peter Seibel, Victor Yampolsky, James Paul,
Daniel Hege and Nicholas Kraemer, among many others.
Mr. Van De Graaff has made a specialty of the baroque repertoire and this has brought
him as soloist to the San Luis Obispo Mozart Festival, Costa Rica International Music Festival,
Chicago's Music of the Baroque, Pittsburgh Bach Choir, Grand Teton Music Festival, St. Louis
Early Music Festival, Boulder Bach Festival and several other festivals and concert series
throughout the country. He and his soprano wife have been responsible for the modern premieres
of several early 18th century chamber operas called "intermezzi."
He has also been active in the opera house and has performed with the Lyric Opera of
Chicago, Florentine Opera, Milwaukee Opera, Rochester Opera, Chicago Opera Theater, and the
Cedar Rapids Opera among many other companies.
Peter also has a great interest in languages and speaks Dutch, German and French, and
has studied in addition, Italian, Spanish and Russian.

Beethoven Network (BN)
PROGRAMMING PHILOSOPHY
At the Beethoven Network, we go far beyond just playing random pieces of music. Our
philosophy and goal is to take the listeners on a musical journey, so we tie pieces of music
together in interesting and novel ways. Whether it is to illuminate what has just been heard or to
start down a completely different path, the music selected is always played for a purpose. We
take great time and care in putting every hour together in thoughtful ways.
We never fade in or out of music. Generally speaking, we don’t play single movements of
compositions. Exceptions to this may include a ballet, opera or orchestral suite.
We believe in playing the “core repertoire” in abundance, but we also delve into the lesser
known works and composers, drawing on our extensive collection of thousands of recordings.
We limit vocal music primarily to the occasional 2:00 or 6:00 breaks, but if there is a compelling
reason to play something vocal that ties in with a theme we are developing, we won’t hesitate to
play it. That would be an exception, however, as instrumental compositions by far dominate.
Avant-garde music is avoided, as is, with rare exception, organ music.
In announcing the selections, the focus is on the music—not on the host. Our goal is to be
welcoming and congenial without drawing attention away from the music. Talk is kept to a
minimum, but if there is something interesting or illuminating to say, we won’t hesitate to say it.
At the Beethoven Network, we maintain time-tested standards of quality to bring you
distinguished programming and a consistently engaging listening experience.

COMMENTS
Station Manager: “Thank you for the wonderful programs. We receive compliments all the time on your
programming. At least we’re smart enough to carry you.”
Listener: “I just wanted to register what a huge asset this man is to my daily life. His knowledge is
amazing and his enthusiasm is, too. His professionalism combined with his very pleasant voice is
tremendous.”
Affiliate station GM: “The listeners just really like Peter. They like his presentation. He’s extremely
knowledgeable. He’s just a very friendly voice. We have many people who are very happy when they
come into the area and hear that we have him on because they’ve been listening to him in other parts of
the country. He’s a friend.”
Listener: “I have enjoyed listening to you for a few years now. In fact, you’re one of the main reasons I
recently became a member. I just wanted to thank you for giving me hours of listening pleasure.”
Listener: “Peter makes a most valuable contribution to the station. He has such a pleasant way of giving
listeners information that we never feel he is lecturing, yet we acquire so much good information from
him. He’s a treasure for us all.”
BBC Producer: “A presenter who can actually pronounce a foreign language, doesn’t tell the story of his
life and doesn’t drop his voice at the crucial point in his intro!”
Listener: “It’s always a pleasure to hear his pleasant voice and well-crafted, erudite, pithy and brief
comments on the music he’s playing. I always find I’ve learned something new about the composer or the
music. That’s why I always enjoy listening.”
Listener: “Peter is the best ‘friend’ to a listener like myself. I depend on his calm and interesting talk, and
the music selections.”
Listener: “I have loved your broadcasts for many years now. Your musical knowledge is broad and your
voice is comforting. What a joy it is for those of us up at all hours of the night and morning to listen to
you. Thank you.”
Listener: “I love your voice—the low, rich, smooth sound of it, the relaxed, clear, intelligent pace of it—
and I like the music you play. How can I hear more of you?”
Listener: “Your nightly music is a big joy in my life. Thank you so very much. Your comments are just
right and the choice of music is wonderful.”
Listener: “I listen to your music regularly and must say it is superb. As a radio announcer, you have what
others don’t: great elocution (English and foreign) and superb taste in music.”
Listener: “Your programs are like going night after night to a varied and wonderful concert with a
charming companion.”

historic occasion, with the National Youth Orchestra departing on their first-ever concert tour of
China later in the month!
Each summer, Carnegie Hall’s Weill Music Institute brings together the brightest young players
from across the country to form NYO-USA. Following a two-week training residency with
leading professional orchestra musicians, these remarkable teenagers not only have the
opportunity to play on the famed stage of Carnegie Hall but also embark on a tour to some of the
great music capitals of the world, while serving as dynamic musical ambassadors.

The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center is proud to announce details of its 2014-2015
radio series season. The 52 one-hour programs, hosted by Elliott Forrest, feature live recorded
performances by leading chamber music players from around the world. Programs feature
enlightening commentary from CMS Co-Artistic Director David Finckel, and the performers.
The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center (CMS) is one of eleven constituents of Lincoln
Center for the Performing Arts, the largest performing arts complex in the world. Along with
other constituents such as the New York Philharmonic, New York City Ballet, Lincoln Center
Theater, and The Metropolitan Opera, the Chamber Music Society has its home at Lincoln
Center, in Alice Tully Hall. Through its performance, education,
and recording/broadcast activities, it draws more people to
chamber music than any other organization of its kind.
CMS presents annual series of concerts and educational events
for listeners ranging from connoisseurs to chamber music
newcomers of all ages. Performing repertoire from over three
22
centuries, and numerous premieres by living composers, CMS offers programs curated to
provide listeners a comprehensive perspective on the art of chamber music.
The performing artists of CMS, a multi-generational selection of expert chamber musicians,
constitute an evolving repertory company capable of presenting chamber music of every
instrumentation, style, and historical period. Its annual activities include a full season of concerts
and events, national and international tours, nationally televised broadcasts on Live From
Lincoln Center, a radio show broadcast internationally, and regular appearances on American
Public Media’s Performance Today. In 2004, CMS appointed cellist David Finckel and pianist
Wu Han artistic directors. They succeed founding director Charles Wadsworth (1969-89), Fred
Sherry (1989-93), and David Shifrin (1993-2004).

For nearly a century, the Civic Orchestra of Chicago has served as the training ensemble of the
Chicago Symphony Orchestra, preparing emerging professional musicians for lives in music.
Under the guidance of CSO Zell Music Director Riccardo Muti, Judson and Joyce Green
Creative Consultant Yo-Yo Ma, Civic Orchestra Principal Conductor Cliff Colnot and musicians
of the CSO, Civic members are immersed in rigorous, time-honored orchestral training and
performances that serve as the program’s foundation.
Additionally, Civic musicians participate in open rehearsals with Riccardo Muti and residencies
with Yo-Yo Ma, rehearse and perform as small chamber ensembles in school and community
locations across the city and attend professional development workshops with special guest
artists and clinicians. Musicians of the Civic Orchestra embody a principle known as Citizen
Musicianship,
which
challenges
musicians to use music to build
communities and enrich the lives of
people everywhere, not just in the
concert hall.
34
Over fifteen percent of the members of the Chicago Symphony are Civic alumni, and former
Civic musicians have joined the ranks of major orchestras including those of New York, Boston,
Cleveland, Philadelphia and San Francisco.
The 2015 Civic Radio Broadcast Series is supported in part by a generous grant from The
Elizabeth F. Cheney Foundation.

This series is available free of charge to all affiliate stations for two broadcasts through March
31, 2016.
After the huge success of The Callas Legacy and The Art of Wilhelm Furtwängler, Henry Fogel returned
with Collectors’ Corner with Henry Fogel. Mr. Fogel had the following thoughts: “The series will
present a wide range of recordings that I feel are true classics of the industry. Recordings to be included
will feature either unusual repertoire that I feel deserves a wider public, or performances unique in their
interpretive profile, sense of commitment, and intensity. Many of these recordings will be long out-ofprint, or hard to locate in the United States.”
The series includes a broad range of orchestral, vocal, chamber and solo-instrumental music.
Host Henry Fogel has held many important and influential posts in the classical music world, including
being appointed to the position of Executive Director of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in August,
1985, and resigned from his position as President in 2003. In addition to his work as host, Henry
Fogel’s radio experience includes a stint as former Vice President and Program Director of radio
station WONO in Syracuse, New York, where he
conceived the first radio fundraising marathon for an
orchestra, a format which has become popular
throughout the United States and Canada. Mr. Fogel has
acted as producer and broadcast host for over 100
radiothons for some 26 different orchestras. The
39
radiothon concept has raised in total over $60 million for orchestras on this continent since Mr. Fogel
started the concept in 1968.
A native of New York City, and a passionate Chinese cook, Henry Fogel received his education at
Syracuse University, and studied for three years under Virginia Lee, author of the New York Times
Chinese Cookbook. He and his wife Frances have a son, Karl, and a daughter, Holly, and four
grandchildren.

This series is available free of charge to all affiliate stations for one broadcast within one year
of the initial release date of each program.
Music made in Germany: rock-solid recordings of electrifying events from the country’s festival circuit,
presented by Rick Fulker.
Did you know that Germany has some five hundred music festivals? A good many of them classical,
bringing all-time favorites and experiences one isn’t likely to encounter anywhere else. In this series of
twenty-six programs, Deutsche Welle reaps the rewards of its media partnership with the world’s
premiere Beethovenfest, in the composer’s - and the broadcaster’s - home town of Bonn, Germany. Sir
John Eliot Gardiner and the London Symphony give a fitting opening to Beethovenfest with - no, you
guessed it not! - Mendelssohn and Schumann.
After the Beethoven symphony cycle in the first thirteen programs, the second set of thirteen broadcasts
leads up to the composer’s complete piano concertos in a muscular rendition by the Mahler Chamber
Orchestra - led and accompanied by conductor/pianist Leif Ove
Andsnes. Interestingly, these works - and Beethoven’s Choral Fantasy are paired off with neo-classical fare by Igor Stravinsky. An unlikely
combination? Judge for yourself. Here, both “rock.” And as for music
that “rocks,” no one can make that better than Kristjan Järvi and his
Baltic Sea Youth Philharmonic, showing just how relevant
masterworks from the past are when presented alongside new music.
45
One maestro who has been conducting up a storm or three is Canadian Yannick Nézet-Séguin, winner of
Germany’s ECHO Klassik award as “Conductor of the Year 2014.” You’ll hear why as he leads his
Rotterdam Philharmonic in Mahler’s Sixth.
With so many festivals in that musical superpower, there are always more to discover, so we paid our first
visit to the small but strong Shostakovich Festival in Gohrisch, the little town in eastern Germany where
the composer lived for a stretch of time. Maestro Gidon Kremer and the Kremerata Baltica make their
mark there.
Russia’s Borodin Quartet has a tradition extending back over sixty years. The last three of which have
seen them at the Beethovenfest, playing the complete string quartets of Beethoven and Shostakovich
alongside works by other Russian composers—this season wraps up the cycle.
Of course, the lineup also includes two of Germany’s major orchestras: the Deutsches SymphonieOrchestra Berlin under its principal conductor Tugan Sokhiev, who will move on soon to take the reins
at Moscow’s Bolshoi Theater. Also included in the series is the Munich Philharmonic, here in the hands
of guest conductor Semyon Bychkov.
The exciting a cappella group Singer pur span the centuries from Josquin des Pres to Sting, and
renowned Wagnerian vocalist Waltraud Meier performs an evening of Lieder. No one can convey the
meaning and intensity of song better than she. We’re combining the two in a single program and calling it
“Meier pur.”
No season would be complete without our visit to “Tensions” in the Power Plant in Heimbach, where
chamber music takes on a symphonic sound. And DW’s yearly Orchestral Campus hosted a youth
orchestra from Ankara, Turkey, vigorously playing Beethoven and a world premiere.
And as an additional option, the Strauss and Bach mini-series and the Beethoven cycles lend themselves
to modular scheduling.

This series is available free of charge to all affiliate stations for one broadcast through March
31, 2016.
Fiesta! is an original production devoted to Latino concert music, and brings artistically
significant compositions from Latin America, Spain and Portugal to your listeners.
The acclaimed composer, musician, performer, and professor Elbio Barilari is the host and
creative force behind this series. He invites listeners to enjoy and learn about the lively and
compelling sounds of Latin American classical music.
Fiesta! provides a valuable platform for the sound, culture, and history of classical music in
Latin America. Barilari enriches our listeners by introducing them to a genre that does not
typically receive much exposure. Fiesta! fosters an appreciation for Latin American classical
music and creates a meeting place for listeners of diverse backgrounds.
“Fiesta!” says the Uruguayan-born composer Elbio Barilari, “features the hottest LatinAmerican music from the 16th to the 21st centuries.” Mr. Barilari, a faculty member of the
University of Illinois at Chicago, is at the helm for this trip through the hidden pleasures of
Latino concert music, including the magical rhythms of Silvestre Revueltas and Heitor Villa-
65
Lobos and the power of symphonic tango. Plus, the series shares littleknown treasures from the Latin-American Baroque, and celebrates
classical guitar through the music of Agustin Barrios, Antonio Lauro,
and Leo Brouwer.

Canyengue: African Roots – Part 1
Canyengue is lunfardo (slang) from Rio de la Plata. The word comes from the African KiKongo language and means “melting with the music.” It would be impossible to understand the
music of the Americas without the influence of African culture. More than 15 million Africans
were forcefully brought across the Atlantic Ocean. At the same time, the native peoples were
almost extinct due to mistreatment and exploitation, but also because of the epidemic diseases
carried to the Americas by the Europeans. Genres like jazz, salsa, Brazilian samba or tango from
Rio de la Plata, cannot be explained without the African element. These two programs show the
African influence on Latin American concert music.

The Myth and Music
Throughout history, myths have been a popular source of inspiration. Ibero-American composers
(that means from Spain, Portugal and Latin America), have been using Greek, Roman, Biblical,
69
Arab, Chinese or Indian mythology as well as the myths of the original native cultures together with
the rich traditions brought by Africans slaves.
• Los Gnomos de la Alhambra by Ruperto Chapí y Lorente, is based on Spanish folk tales
about the gnomes living at the ruins of the Arab palace called the Alhambra in Granada.
• La Fragua de Vulcano by Eduardo Morales Caso, was written after 2 ideas: the Roman God
Vulcan working at his forge, and a famous work by Spanish painter Diego Velazquez.
• Conjuros by Roberto Sierra, features the African influence by using expressions in the
Yoruba language still alive with religious purposes among the Afro-Caribbean communities.
• Los centinelas de Etersa by Eduardo Angulo, is based in Mexican folk tales about three
popular characters of a whimsical nature.
• Rito de los Orixas by Leo Brouwer, goes back to the Afro-Caribbean syncretic religions.
Orixas u Orichas are the African Gods or “Saints” in Cuba and Puerto Rico as well as in
Brazil.

Viva la Zarzuela!
The first half of the 20th century saw the incredible popularity of an exclusively Spanish genre: the
70
zarzuela. It can be defined, superficially, as light opera without being “operettas.” Zarzuela
constitutes a delicate balance between Spanish folk music. costume dramas and an operatic style
completely developed in Spain. This program of Fiesta! features brilliant moments of the zarzuela
repertoire, such as “Luis Fernanda”, “Doña Francisquita”, “La rosa del azafrán” and, of course, “La

Visions of the Vanquished
“The Vision of the Vanquished” or “La voz de los vencidos”, a book by Mexican historian Miguel
León Portilla was very instrumental in changing the view that Latin Americans had about the clash of
cultures and the cultural genocide that took place in the continent. The Native-American experience
in Latin America has been reflected abundantly and in many different, even conflicting, ways by our

York, nestled between the Adirondack and Catskill mountains. Each season, the company
presents new productions of opera and musical theater, accompanied by myriad concerts,
lectures, master classes and more.
In 2015, the company celebrates its 40th anniversary with new productions of Verdi’s Macbeth,
Vivaldi’s Cato in Utica and another opera from their season, as yet to be determined.
In the first-ever Glimmerglass production of Verdi’s powerful interpretation of the
Shakespearean drama, returning Artist in Residence Eric Owens makes his role debut as the title
character. The Grammy Award-winning bass-baritone
is joined onstage by soprano Melody Moore, who
returns to the Glimmerglass stage as his scheming
wife, Lady Macbeth. Glimmerglass Festival Music
Director Joseph Colaneri leads the cast.
78
Passion and politics collide in Vivaldi's setting of Metastasio's poetic depiction of Cato the
Younger. Celebrated for his moral integrity, Cato was one of the last Romans who opposed
Caesar. Driven to the African province of Utica, Cato remains defiant, even as his daughter is
drawn to his enemy. Conductor Ryan Brown, founder and Artistic Director of Opera Lafayette,
leads countertenor John Holiday in his company debut as Caesar, mezzo-soprano Sarah Mesko in
the vocally demanding role of Emilia and tenor Thomas Michael Allen in the title role.

Following the enormous success of the Beethoven Network classical music format service and in
response to radio station requests for low-cost, highly-quality hosted jazz hours, the WFMT Radio
Network created the Jazz Network, now 9 hours nightly of mainstream jazz programming. Although Bob
Parlocha passed away in early 2015, we are continuing to honor his memory with archived hours that
were selected and hosted by the legendary jazz expert. A curated selection of these hours will continue
over the course of the year to supplement new hours from the new hosts!
Jazz Network debuted in April 1997 with a strong and rapidly growing base of affiliates. The qualities
and features that have worked so well with Bach, Mozart and Beethoven now apply to Evans, Coltrane
and Parker through the Jazz Network.
Designed for you and your listeners, all Jazz Network hours can be fully customized as your local
program product. The service includes flexible hourly modules, with optional internal covered breaks
which allow for news, IDs, local promotion, funding credits or commercials, and customized continuity

NEW HOSTS TO BE
ANNOUNCED SOON!
BOB PARLOCHA
Host, Jazz Network
Nationally known jazz expert and former program director/ host
of KJAZ of San Francisco, Bob Parlocha's rich, elegant voice is
familiar to jazz audiences as host of the highly rated "Dinner Jazz
Show" at the former KJAZ.
Born and reared in Vallejo, California, Bob learned about jazz
from his mother's Count Basie and Duke Ellington records. He
grew up listening to former KJAZ owner Pat Henry, broadcasting
at that time on KROW, and to Jerry Dean, who used to do a
weekly KJAZ show from Vallejo. In high school Bob played
tenor and soprano saxophones, the flute, and sang in road bands.
A sensitive programmer, articulate spokesman for Jazz, and astute
analyst of the music scene, Bob's master of ceremonies style has
enhanced many jazz concerts and fund-raisers over the years. His
credits include the Gil Evans Orchestra's concert at the Pacific
Coast Collegiate Jazz Festival, the UC Berkeley Jazz Festival, Oakland Arts Explosion, Jazz at the
Palace, Bay Area Jazz Awards, the San Francisco International KJAZ Festival, and KJAZ host on the SS
Norway Jazz Cruises.
Bob generously donated his time to jazz causes, especially those aiding Bay Area musicians. He also
delighted in identifying and developing younger air talent, especially at his local station KCSM. Sadly,
Bob passed away in March of 2015; however, his voice, talent, and exquisite taste in Jazz will continue to
be heard over the air for the remainder of 2015 to honor of his many decades of delighting Jazz audiences
across the country and the world.
Carlos Lando/ Program Director - KUVO/ Denver, CO:
“Bob is a national treasure. He plays the most consistently balanced mix of jazz music every night.
Parlocha plays all the music that is fit to be played. The impact this man has had on listeners will not be
realized for years. Simply put, he has the best ears in the business.”
Listener – KRPS/Pittsburg, KS:
“Keep those discs spinning, my friend! Every time I listen to your program I have such a sense of joy for
the music that it can only be described as ethereal. Thank you - KEEP JAZZ ALIVE!”
Listener – WDNA/Miami, FL:
“I listen to your show and learn something every time I listen. Thanks for your contagious passion for
jazz!”
Listener – KCSM/San Mateo, CA:
“Many a sleep-interrupted night has been made bearable (well, almost) by hearing so much great jazz
music. Some of it was old, some was new. Some of it was by the great masters, some by young lions just
making their marks. Two things that I really appreciated about Bob Parlocha’s approach was that he
rarely played more than two pieces consecutively, and that he always listed the musicians on every tune
that he played. It was night school for jazz geeks.”

"Believe it or not, a little town in Northwest Ohio is one of the liveliest spots for new music in the whole
United States." – Stephen Stucky, winner of the 2005 Pulitzer Prize in music.
New Music from Bowling Green is a radio series devoted to living composers and their works. The
program originates from the MidAmerican Center for Contemporary Music (MACCM), part of the
College of Musical Arts at Bowling Green State University in Northwest Ohio. Since 1980, MACCM has
been hosting some of the biggest names in modern music at the annual New Music Festival. It also
sponsors a multi-venue concert series called Music at the Forefront, which shines a spotlight on new and
exciting young performers of contemporary music.
Produced by WGTE Public Media and hosted by Brad Cresswell, New Music from Bowling Green draws
on live concert recordings from the New Music Festival and
Music at the Forefront, as well as commercial recordings
featuring the Bowling Green Philharmonia and the BGSU Wind
Symphony. Designed with the mainstream classical music
listener in mind, the program features audience-friendly
contemporary works that are introduced by their composers.
We also hear from the performers who bring those works to life
– in some cases, for the very first time.
84
Highlights from our second season include a Music at the Forefront concert from violist Nadia Sirota; an
all-Frederic Rzewski sampler, and three episodes dedicated solely to works composed by women –
which are also performed by women. We also hear a live concert recording from Chicago's avant-garde
music venue, Constellation, and survey music by some of the most exciting young composers on the
horizon. Composers featured during this season include Nico Muhly; Braxton Blake; Cindy McTee;
Orianna Webb; Stephen Hartke; Marc Mellitts; George Lewis; Avner Dorman, and Marilyn
Shrude. We also focus on the music of Jennifer Higdon, who is an alumna of Bowling Green State
University and a curator for our series.

The Lyric Opera of Chicago Broadcasts return with opening night productions, following the
end of the Metropolitan Opera season. This year, we present
eight operas, including Verdi’s Il Trovatore, Wagner’s
Tannhäuser, Mozart’s Don Giovanni, and more. Of special note
is an exceptional performance of Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess,
airing on July 4th!
Since its early days, Lyric Opera of Chicago has been regarded as
one of the top three American opera companies, along with the
Met and San Francisco. Chicago boasts an opera company that’s
second to none. “Lyric Opera broadcasts have been a cornerstone
of our programming for more than three decades, so everyone at
95
WFMT is thrilled that this glorious broadcast tradition [is on] the airwaves,” said Steve
Robinson, Executive Vice President and General Manager of 98.7WFMT and the WFMT Radio
Network. “I know I speak for scores of radio stations throughout America welcoming these
historic broadcasts to their schedules when the Lyric season is rebroadcast in the spring.”

December 31, 2015.
Welcome to The Midnight Special, one of the most enduring of syndicated folk music radio
programs, available through the WFMT Radio Network. The Midnight Special was established
in Chicago on WFMT-FM in 1953, and went national in 1971. It has stayed current through
decades of change, rich in tradition and history while retaining its timeliness, delighting listeners
throughout the world with gentle irreverence or touching them with candid observation.
In 1953, the late Mike Nichols, (then a WFMT announcer who went on to become one of the
most respected stage and film directors), developed The Midnight Special as a showcase for
recorded folk music. Over the years, The Midnight Special has evolved into an eclectic mixture
of song and story that attracts not only a loyal
following, but also new, younger listeners with each
broadcast. They hear an incredibly diverse selection of
artists, from the traditional to the contemporary: Pete
Seeger and The Weavers, the New Lost City Ramblers,
Joan Baez, Tom Paxton, Arlo Guthrie, Mike Cross, Ani
DiFranco, Greg Brown, Alison Krauss and Anais
Mitchell, to name a few, along with comedy from the
likes of Bob Newhart and Mitchell & Webb. Material
103
comes from an unrivaled library of over 13,000 CDs, 5,000 LPs and 55 years of live concert and
studio recordings that began with Pete Seeger and Big Bill Broonzy in a concert that became a
Folkways album.
Thousands of traditional and contemporary folk performers and comedians fill this two-hour
spontaneous entertainment program that we call The Midnight Special. Original, offbeat, and
always entertaining, The Midnight Special offers listeners a program of music, madness and
mayhem – a lively potpourri of folk, Celtic and bluegrass, show and novelty tunes, and hilarious
comedy routines.
The Midnight Special often airs live performances recorded by WFMT over the past 60 years
that are not available commercially, including well-known artists appearing at Chicago-area
clubs, the University of Chicago Folk Festivals, and the comedy revues of Chicago’s famed
Second City troupe. Tomorrow’s folk stars are on The Midnight Special this week!
Rich Warren has hosted folk programs for over 40 years, including 35 years with The Midnight
Special, while remaining committed to seeking out new music. He attends the international and
regional Folk Alliance International conferences as well as other folk music events in search of
tomorrow’s songwriters and performers. He studied folk music in college with an acknowledged
authority, the late Archie Green. Warren also wrote for Sing Out, the national folk music
magazine, for 20 years. He was named “Broadcaster of the Year” by the Folk Alliance
International Conference in 2008.
A photograph of Rich Warren is available upon request, and a yearly fund-raising program is
also available.

December 31, 2015.
Millennium of Music is the world’s longest running program featuring early music. Host and
producer Robert Aubry Davis regularly presents music from major European music festivals
which can be heard weekly on radio stations throughout the United States.
What began as a local Sunday morning program on WJCT-FM
in Jacksonville, Florida, moved to WETA in 1978, when Davis
returned to his home town of Washington, DC. At that time,
Program Director Martin Goldsmith suggested that the idea of a
genuine early music program, with much emphasis on
Gregorian chant, would be appropriate for Easter. The program
began as a regular part of the schedule on Easter Sunday in
1980. The next visionary to touch the program was Mary Beth
Kirchner, a producer brought on board to help create national
programming, who believed in the inevitability of taking the
program to a wider audience.

September 30, 2015.
Among the finest orchestras in the country, the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra is the largest
cultural organization in Wisconsin. Since its inception in 1959, the Milwaukee Symphony
Orchestra has consistently received critical acclaim for artistic excellence. Today, the MSO
continues to reach new heights under the baton of its sixth
music director, Edo de Waart. In addition to his present
position as Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra’s Music Director,
Maestro de Waart is also Chief Conductor and Artistic Director
of the Hong Kong Philharmonic; Chief Conductor and Artistic
Advisor of The Santa Fe Opera; Conductor Laureate of the
Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra; and Artistic Partner
of the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra since the 2010/2011 season.
He has also held posts with the Sydney Symphony, San
Francisco Symphony, Minnesota and Rotterdam Philharmonic
orchestras.
106
The symphony’s 88 full-time professional musicians perform more than 140 concerts each
season. Each of the MSO’s resident musicians is a gifted virtuoso. In addition to performing
with the MSO, these musicians provide a strong professional core within Milwaukee’s thriving
arts community. Orchestra players make frequent appearances with other local ensembles,
perform as soloists internationally, and serve as teachers and mentors to music students and area
youth. A cornerstone organization in Milwaukee’s art community, the MSO provides
enrichment and education activities for audiences of every age, economic status, and
background. The MSO’s education and outreach programs are among the most highly regarded
of any American symphony. Through initiatives such as Youth & Teen Concerts, MSO Stars of
Tomorrow, and the nationally-acclaimed Arts in Community Education (ACE) program. The
most comprehensive education initiative ever undertaken by an American orchestra, the MSO
has become a national leader in arts education programming.

This series is available free of charge to all affiliate stations for one broadcast within a twoweek window from the first release date.
Music Director Alan Gilbert and the New York Philharmonic welcome you to the 2014-15
syndicated radio broadcasts by one of the world’s longest-running and most celebrated
orchestras.
Of the 52 weekly two-hour broadcasts that make up this series,
many will make use of material from the orchestra’s 2013-2014
subscription season. Interspersed throughout the year are programs
taken from the Philharmonic’s tours, Summertime Classics, and the
orchestra’s residency at the Bravo! Vail Valley Music Festival in
Colorado. There will also be a handful of thematic programs and
encore presentations that explore the breadth and depth of the
Philharmonic’s extensive library of commercial and archival
recordings.
111
The New York Philharmonic’s first live national radio broadcast took place on October 5, 1930,
over the CBS radio network. On that Sunday, Erich Kleiber was on the podium leading the
Orchestra at Carnegie Hall. Since that historic broadcast, the Philharmonic has enjoyed an almost
continuous presence on national radio. Advancing its role as a media pioneer, the Philharmonic,
since 2002, has shared its radio broadcasts with a worldwide audience through its website,
nyphil.org. In 2004 the New York Philharmonic was the first major American orchestra to offer
downloadable concerts, recorded live. Following on this innovation, in 2009 the Orchestra
announced the first-ever subscription download series, Alan Gilbert: The Inaugural Season,
available exclusively on iTunes, produced and distributed by the New York Philharmonic, and
comprised of more than 50 works performed during the 2009-10 season. The self-produced
iTunes Pass Series has continued each and every year since then. Since 1917 the Philharmonic
has made nearly 2,000 recordings, with more than 500 currently available — including two
recent releases on Da Capo featuring music of Carl Nielsen and Magnus Lindberg.
The New York Philharmonic This Week, which began in 2004 and is syndicated nationally by
the WFMT Radio Network, has been the recipient of numerous awards, including a Gold World
Medal in the category of Best Sound, and its second Bronze World Medal in the category of Best
Regularly Scheduled Music Program at the 2013 New York Festivals Radio Programs and
Promotions Awards. The program has also won awards for Best Classical Format and Best
Announcer Presentation.
Broadcasts are available on the Philharmonic’s website, nyphil.org, for two weeks following the
original uplink. Emmy and Golden-Globe Award-winning actor Alec Baldwin is the host of the
program, New York Philharmonic Audio Producer Mark Travis is the writer and producer, and
New York Philharmonic Audio Director Lawrence Rock is the engineer for the series.
On June 18, 2010, The New York Philharmonic was honored with two 2009-10 ASCAP Awards
for Adventurous Programming at the League of American Orchestras’ Annual Meeting at its
65th National Conference in Atlanta, Georgia. The Philharmonic received the Award for
American Programming on Foreign Tours, and a First Place Award for Programming of
Contemporary Music. The following year, the Philharmonic received the 2010-11 ASCAP
Award for Adventurous Programming, winning first place in the Awards for Programming
Contemporary Music. For 2012-13, the orchestra was again awarded the ASCAP Award for
Adventurous Programming and the Leonard Bernstein Award for Educational Programming.
This exciting broadcast venture is made possible with the generous support of The Kaplen
Foundation and the Audrey Love Charitable Foundation, the Philharmonic’s corporate partner,
MetLife Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts.

Originally premiered in 1865 in Genoa and then performed again
in 1871in Milan, Franco Faccio’s Amleto (Hamlet) was thought
lost for over 135 years. Opera Southwest’s artistic director,
Anthony Barrese, has spent nearly a decade in libraries and the
Ricordi archives recovering the work from a microfilm of the
composers autograph. This performance, recorded in the fall of
2014 at the National Hispanic Cultural Center – Journal Theatre
in Albuquerque, New Mexico, is the first performance of the
work in over 143 years, and is the American premiere.
Founded in 1972 as Albuquerque Opera Theatre, Opera
Southwest is Albuquerque’s professional, regional company.
With a mission to produce quality, professional, enjoyable and
accessible opera in an intimate setting for audiences of all ages,
Opera Southwest produces two to three major operas each year
selected from the best of the standard and not-so-standard
repertoire. To date, Opera Southwest has produced 122 operas,
including 23 world premieres, many of which were original
operas created especially for children and families.

December 31, 2015.
Relevant Tones, a weekly exploration of the most fascinating time in classical music history:
right now. From up-and-coming firebrands to established artists, this series features music and
in-person interviews from the hottest festivals around the world, celebrates the major figures
shaping classical music today, spots emerging trends, shines a light on lesser known but
fascinating composers, and features music recorded in dynamic live broadcasts.
Host, composer and Executive Director of Access Contemporary Music, Seth Boustead brings an
informative but engagingly down-to-earth presentation that provides a context for the music and
connects with listeners of all ages to present classical music as a diverse art form with a storied
history that is alive and thriving in the 21st century.
With its informative, yet engagingly down-to-earth
presentation, Relevant Tones seeks to make
contemporary music accessible to diehard classical
music fans while attracting new and younger listeners.
Seth Boustead draws from the entire classical music
canon to put modern-day compositions in context,
exploring the social and musical influences on their
120
creation. Guest appearances by composers and performers are a vital part of the program,
offering a first-person perspective that gives insight and depth to their art form and its creation.
Since launching in July 2011 on 98.7 WFMT in Chicago, Relevant Tones has garnered
significant praise from critics and listeners alike. Examiner.com named it one of the best shows
in the world for new classical music, and ChicagoMusic.org says that it is “changing the way
audiences experience modern music.” Listener response has been equally positive, with fans
praising Boustead’s “invigorating selections,” “enlightening commentary” and hailing the show
as a “long-overdue addition” of new music to the station’s programming. Relevant Tones is
broadcast in markets throughout the United States and internationally through the WFMT Radio
Network.

In recent years composers have become interested in the fact that the performers can do things on
stage other than just play their instrument: stomp their feet, clap, play simple percussion, and
even sing. We’ll feature a variety of pieces from composers who ask musicians (who are not
trained singers) to vocalize and supplement their playing.

We all know the Pastoral Symphony of Beethoven, Mendelssohn’s Hebrides Overture inspired

March 31, 2016.
Since its beginning in 1911, the San Francisco Symphony has been known for innovative
programs that offer a spectrum of traditional repertory and new music. Today, the
Orchestra’s artistic vitality, recordings, and groundbreaking multimedia educational
projects carry its impact throughout American musical life.
“At a time when America’s major orchestras are
struggling to define their missions and maintain
audiences, the San Francisco Symphony under
Michael Tilson Thomas is an exception.”
— The New York Times
The San Francisco Symphony has grown in stature and
acclaim under such distinguished music directors as Henry
Hadley, Alfred Hertz, the legendary Pierre Monteux, Josef
125
Krips, Seiji Ozawa, Edo de Waart and Herbert Blomstedt. Current Music Director
Michael Tilson Thomas assumed the post in 1995. Together, he and the San Francisco
Symphony have formed a musical partnership hailed as “one of the most inspiring and
adventurous in the country.” Maestro Tilson Thomas and the Orchestra have also been
praised by the critics for their musicianship, for their innovative programming, for
bringing the works of American composers to the fore, and for bringing new audiences
into Davies Symphony Hall.
“In most places, and certainly in London, the presence of many of the (American
Mavericks Festival) composers – from Charles Ives to John Adams to Steve Reich
– would have emptied halls. But the audiences in San Francisco have been large,
varied, attentive, and enthusiastic. Something quite special, perhaps even
revolutionary, is going on.”
— The Times (London)
The San Francisco Symphony has toured extensively to Europe, Asia and throughout the
United States. It has won some of the world’s most prestigious recording awards,
including eleven Grammy Awards, Japan’s Record Academy Award, France’s Grand
Prix du Disque, and Britain’s Gramophone Award.
“The San Francisco Symphony, led since 1995 by the brilliant and musically
restless Michael Tilson Thomas, gave the kind of performance that proves yet
again that the best is the enemy of the better.”
— The Washington Post
With the launch of the San Francisco Symphony’s own SFS Media label in 2001,
Michael Tilson Thomas and the Orchestra embarked on a project to record all of
Mahler’s symphonies and song cycles. The label’s first offering, Symphony No. 6, was
released to international acclaim and received the 2003 Grammy Award for Best
Orchestral Performance. The recordings of seven more Mahler symphonies have been
released since, and the project has received three more Grammy Awards – Best Classical
Album for Symphony No. 3 and Kindertotenlieder, with mezzo-soprano Michelle
DeYoung, and both Best Classical Album and Best Orchestral Performance for
Symphony No. 7.
In addition to live concert recordings, SFS Media produces and releases documentary and
live performance videos, including the SFS’s national public television series and
multimedia project Keeping Score, which included three seasons of television episodes,
eight documentaries, and eight concert films designed to make classical music more
accessible to people of all ages and musical backgrounds, now available on DVD and
Blu-ray. Keeping Score includes an innovative website, www.keepingscore.org, live
performance audio CDs, two radio broadcast series: The MTT Files and 13
Days When Music Changed Forever.
“Can every conductor be Michael Tilson Thomas? Obviously not! But every
conductor can learn from him the value of bringing a sense of adventure back to
the concert hall.”

This series is available free of charge to all affiliate stations for one broadcast in the week of the
program’s release (August 29 – October 31, 2015).
The WFMT Radio Network continues our 2015 American Opera Series with ten performances
by San Francisco Opera. This year’s series features the world premiere of Marco Tutino’s Two
Women (La Ciociara) and Hector Berlioz’ monumental saga The Trojans (Les Troyens),
presented by the company for the first time in 47 years. Both productions feature beloved Italian
soprano Anna Caterina Antonacci, who has garnered outstanding reviews for her rare United
States performances.
San Francisco Opera was founded by Italian conductor and pianist
Gaetano Merola, who presented the Company’s first season in 1923
at the Civic Center Auditorium. In 1932, the Beaux Arts 3,100 seat
War Memorial Opera House opened and remains the home of San
Francisco Opera. Maestro Merola, who led the Company until his
death in 1953, was succeeded as general director by Kurt Herbert
Adler (1953–81), Terry McEwen (1982–88), Lotfi Mansouri (1988–
2001), Pamela Rosenberg (2001–05), and David Gockley (2006–
2016).

This series is available free of charge to all affiliate stations for two broadcasts through March
31, 2016.
The WFMT Radio Network invites your listeners to travel to Santa Fe, New Mexico through the
sounds of thirteen new one-hour radio concerts from the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival.
Now in its tenth season, the program has been broadcast across the United States and around the
world.
One of the world’s leading performing arts festivals, the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival is
known for its enduring commitment to tradition, artistic excellence, innovation, and vision. Our
weekly radio series reflects the Festival’s high standards and varied repertoire by presenting
superbly recorded concerts and recitals by some of
today’s greatest musical artists.
The 2015 Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival radio series
features performances recorded in 2014 in Santa Fe,
New Mexico during this celebrated music festival's 42nd
140
summer season. Each broadcast hour typically contains two full-length works representing
chamber music's core repertoire. The Festival also remains dedicated to lesser known composers
and compositions, and to commissioning new works.
Veteran WFMT announcer Kerry Frumkin hosts the series along with Santa Fe Chamber Music
Festival artistic director, Marc Neikrug. Many of the performers provide additional commentary
as they describe their experiences at the Festival and the music they've played here.
Here are some highlights from the 2015 Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival radio series:
•
Pianist Yefim Bronfman is the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival's 2014 Artist-inResidence. He opens this tenth season of radio broadcasts with the Piano Quintet in F
Minor of Johannes Brahms, which he performs with violinists Martin Beaver and Benny
Kim, violist Milena Pajaro-van de Stadt, and cellist Eric Kim. In Week 2, Martin Beaver,
Benny Kim and Yefim Bronfman play Beethoven's “Archduke” Piano Trio in B-flat
Major.
•
The Festival commissions new works each season. In week 9, soprano Tony Arnold and
the Orion String Quartet are heard in the U.S. Premiere of the String Quartet No. 2, "And
once I played Ophelia," by the Australian composer and former violist in the Berlin
Philharmonic Orchestra, Brett Dean.
•
In Week 11, the New York Philharmonic's principal oboe, Liang Wang, collaborates with
violinist Benny Kim, New York Philharmonic principal violist Cynthia Phelps, and cellist
Ronald Thomas to play Mozart's Oboe Quartet in F Major, K. 370. Also in the series,
Daniel Phillips demonstrates his affection for the violin sonatas of Heinrich Ignaz Franz
Von Biber, and Tara Helen O'Connor plays a beautiful Poulenc flute sonata.
•
Artistic Director, Marc Neikrug, says that many pieces this season reflect the sense of
how time flows for certain composers. Examples include Hommage à Mihály András, 12
Microludes for String Quartet, Op. 13 by György Kurtág; Rain Spell by Tōru Takemitsu;
and the String Quartet No. 3, Op. 46 of Viktor Ullmann.
•
Above all, the 13-week series celebrates many of the chamber repertoire's most enduring
gems. These include the Mozart Divertimento in E-flat Major; two of Bach's celebrated
Brandenburg Concertos, No. 2 in F Major and No. 6 B-flat Major; Quartet for the End of
Time by Oliver Messiaen; and the Piano Quintet in A Major, Op. 81 by Antonín Dvořák.
Violinist William Preucil, violist Hsin-Yun Huang, cellist Mark Kosower and pianist
Alessio Bax bring the series to a conclusion with their performance of the Brahms Piano
Quartet No. 1 in G Minor, Op. 25.
Other repertoire comes from composers Bohuslav Martinu, Georg Philipp Telemann, Ástor
Piazzolla, Felix Mendelssohn, Zoltán Kodály, Carl Maria Von Weber, Sergei Rachmaninoff, and
others.
Some of the many outstanding performers heard in this series are violinists Benjamin Beilman,

This series is available free of charge to all affiliate stations for one broadcast between April 2,
2015 and March 31, 2016.
Song: Mirror of the World is a 13-week radio series that explores classic song — poetry set to
music — as a prism for understanding culture and history. The series builds on the Hampsong
Foundation's highly successful Song of America radio series, also co-produced by the WFMT
Radio Network.
Each one-hour program includes 40-45 minutes of music, drawn from
recordings of all eras, and 15-20 minutes of commentary by international
opera star, recitalist, and arts and humanities advocate Thomas
Hampson. Some programs focus on a particular moment and place in
history, while others have a wider chronological and geographic range.
147
Song: Mirror of the World takes a broad, humanities-based approach to the role of song in
society. The series explores the relationship of song to cultural movements, historical events,
and intellectual thought. There is a special focus on cross-cultural dialogues throughout the
European continent, and between Europe and the United States. Writers who collaborated with
Mr. Hampson on the series include leading authorities on classic song from American and
European universities, as well as radio professionals who contributed to Song of America.

A Diary of Our Times
Composers and poets create a powerful diary through classic song—poetry set to music. Starting
with Mozart and ending in the 21st century, a variety of intriguing songs open unique windows to
particular moments in history. We hear a foretaste of the musicians, writers, and cultural currents

Vienna, Crossroads of Change
At the turn of the 18th century, Imperial Vienna was the setting for political as well as artistic
upheaval. A new yearning for individual expression gave Schubert the impetus to forge poetry
and music into a fresh, powerful metaphor for human experience. This was the birth of the Lied,
the cornerstone of classic song. We hear Schubert’s game-changing song “Gretchen am
Spinnrade,” plus masterpieces by Mozart, Reichardt, Weber, and Beethoven.

Singing the Romantic Self
The Romantic movement gave birth to a new era of individuality, heralded by the innovative
poetry of Goethe and the musical genius of Schubert. The Romantics were also fascinated by the
natural and supernatural worlds, which are explored in contrasting settings of Goethe’s eerie
poem “Der Erlkönig.” Groundbreaking songs of longing, loneliness, and love, by Beethoven and
the Mendelssohn siblings, are also featured.

Fascination With the Foreign
Hector Berlioz was a political and musical radical. His songs are the framework for looking at
life in France and Germany between the revolutionary years of 1830 and 1848, when a
fascination with the outside world created passionate interest in Shakespeare, Scotland, and
Swedish soprano Jenny Lind. Other composers lured by the unknown include Stephen Foster,
Robert and Clara Schumann, Robert Franz, and Carl Loewe.

Paris, City of Light
This program roams the streets of Paris during the fast-changing period of 1840 to 1848, when
the French capital was a cradle for literary, artistic, and musical innovation—and a centrifuge for
social, philosophical, and political revolution. Artists we meet include Chopin, Liszt, Meyerbeer,
and Offenbach, plus Heine, Hugo, and the fable writer La Fontaine.

Forging a National Consciousness
Beginning in 1848, the Year of Revolution, this program explores the role of song as a unifying
cultural force in the face of vital political struggles. With the folksongs of their homelands
ringing in their ears, composers from Brahms to Duparc, from Mahler to Mussorgsky, took up
the torch of nationalism at a moment when worlds were colliding.

Framed by the innovative songs of Charles Ives, this program explores the decadent and

worldwide unrest that was starting to take hold.

The Great War and Its Echoes
Song proclaims the patriotism that greeted the start of World War I, and the tragedy that
followed, as expressed by composers on both sides of the Atlantic. In the unstable years of peace
after 1918, we use the lens of song to examine Surrealism, jazz, and the growing influence of
mass technology, plus compelling figures like Josephine Baker and Gertrude Stein.

Forbidden Music, Silenced Voices
Germany was the land of classical music’s most glorious achievements, but when Hitler came to
power, he banned everything written by Jews. That included acknowledged masters like
151
Mendelssohn and Mahler, and musicians whose reputations never recovered, like Karl
Goldmark. Also on the list were promising composers forced to flee, such as Alexander
Zemlinsky, and those who were murdered, including Pavel Haas and Viktor Ullmann.

World War II had a deep influence on composers. The program begins with Benjamin Britten’s
“Death, Be Not Proud,” then explores how post-war challenges brought a new appreciation of
folksong, how atonality gained influence, and how artists coped under repressive regimes.
Featured composer/poet pairs include Copland/Dickinson, Bernstein/Rilke, Rorem/Frost,

The Return of Melody
By the 1970s, there was a re-exploration of all the colors that melody could bring to the human
voice and story. Prominent examples include Leonard Bernstein’s Arias and Barcarolles,
William Bolcom’s Cabaret Songs, and cycles by Ned Rorem and Dominick Argento. While the
focus of this program remains in the United States, it also expands to include composers from
Latin America. Short interviews with five of the composers give perspective to their approaches.

Hailed as one of the Top 10 "Can't Miss" Classical Musical Festivals in the United States by
NPR, Bravo! Vail is a destination for innovative programming, top talent, a matchless chamber
music series, and is the only Festival in North America to host three world-renowned symphony
orchestras—the New York Philharmonic, the Philadelphia Orchestra and the Dallas Symphony
Orchestra—in a single season. For six weeks every summer, internationally acclaimed soloists,
ensembles, and chamber music artists come together in an eclectic and engaging chamber music
series with programs of the great classics and tantalizingly new works.
While audiences come for a variety of reasons, they stay with Bravo! Vail for the ultimate
trifecta: enjoying extraordinary music in the company of great friends and the natural beauty of
the Vail Valley. The Bravo Vail! 2014 radio special will focus on the
exciting chamber series.
“Each season, the Bravo! Vail Chamber Music Series brings together
artists who share the same passion for chamber music; the intensity
of these groups creates a fresh sense of energy and inspiration rarely
found in other settings,” says Anne-Marie McDermott, artistic
director of Bravo! Vail. “Audiences can expect many firsts for
Bravo! Vail, including the stellar percussion ensemble, Third Coast
161
Percussion, whose concert marks the first time percussion will be highlighted in the series.”
Bravo Vail! 2014 will also include solo piano works performed by Anne-Marie McDermott in
addition to her collaboration with the acclaimed Calder Quartet, the riveting young ensemble Le
Train Bleu, and the vibrant Third Coast Percussion. The concerts feature music that is both
familiar and new, including exceptional performances of recent works by contemporary
American composers Christopher Rouse, Charles Wuorinen, and John Adams. And classic works
of Haydn, Ravel, and Bartok will also be featured in this program.

September 30, 2015.
A two-hour documentary with pianist, pedagogue and Chopin specialist Elizabeth Sombart
Chopin created a radically new musical language for the piano that was nevertheless strongly
influenced by his love of the contemporary folk music from his native country that he was exiled
from for the greater part of his creative life, Poland. The unique flavour of his expression was
intimately connected to the longing he felt for a world that was vastly different in make-up and
feeling from anywhere today, but the power and appeal of his compositions have long outlasted
the demise of their environmental origins. However, for the pianist and pedagogue Elizabeth
Sombart, the founder of the specialised educational school organised by the Fondation
Résonnance, this very survival of Chopin and his particular popularity today presents a great
challenge for the performer who lives in such a dissimilar ambience from the far more intimate
atmosphere that Chopin evoked.
164
Whereas of course the worlds of all the great 19th century composers were completely different
from life as it is today, for Madame Sombart the changed situation brings especially critical
issues for the understanding and interpretation of Chopin’s music, which is why after a lifetime
of the study of Chopin she has decided to make new recordings here and now of the composer’s
works. In this two-hour documentary, she discusses the interpretation of Chopin in our own day
and in his day by investigating how Chopin is approached, felt and considered today, how the
situation was in his own time, and also how it was in between these nearly two centuries of time
apart, that is how Chopin was performed in the early part of the 20th century by great pianists
such as Ignacy Paderewski, Sergei Rachmaninoff, Ignaz Friedman and Alfred Cortot. The
documentary also quotes from letters of Chopin and written comments that were produced by
some of his pupils who revealed his meticulous instructions about style, sound and technique
when they studied his works with him. Nevertheless, this feature is not at all an attempt to
condition today’s performers and today’s audiences and listeners into an imaginary ideal
environment for experiencing Chopin’s music – on the contrary it is a consideration of the
many-sided challenges that musicians and audiences of our time have as they approach this
composer’s art in our own day and age.

Bass-baritone José van Dam is a legend in his own time as one of this and last century’s very
greatest and most highly acclaimed operatic actor/singers and also masterly interpreters of art
song. With a 50 year career span, from 1960 to 2010, he has sung a truly enormous range of
repertoire with a 250 year compass: extending from Bach
to Messiaen, it comprised French, German, Italian and
Russian opera, French mélodies, German lieder, and
oratorio. A top choice bass-baritone of nearly all the most
pre-eminent conductors and stage directors of the last half
century, and the personal choice of Olivier Messiaen for
the title role of his opera St Francois d’Assise, in the
theatre he remarkably interpreted his operatic roles in a
very wide range of varying productions, displaying his
exceptional intellectual and artistic versatility. To
celebrate Monsieur van Dam’s 75th birthday, which falls on
August 25th, this two hour program features him recalling
169
his life and career and discussing as well as singing some of his favourite repertoire. We hear his
magnificent mastery of greatly differing styles and his striking diversity of vocal colours and
vivid characterisation across the unusually broad gamut of music he performed, including these
works that he not only sings but also talks about:
Berlioz – La damnation de Faust
Gounod – Faust
Wagner – Der Fliegende Hollander
Verdi – Don Carlos
Massenet – Don Quichotte
Saint-Saens – French Melodies
Puccini – Gianni Schicchi
Charpentier – Louise
Debussy – Pelleas et Melisande
Ravel – French Melodies

This special is available free of charge to all affiliate stations for 1 broadcast before June 30,
2015.
The story of how Russian literature and music in the Tsarist and Soviet eras affected a large
sector of people in Russia is vibrantly related by Northwestern University’s Professor of Slavic
Languages and Literature Irwin Weil, who since 1966 has been captivating students with his
presentations as well as anecdotes from his own vast experience of Russia, where he has been a
regular guest speaker, lecturer and researcher for the last 54 years. In this documentary he
illustrates how the Russian people, Russian composers such as Mussorgsky, Tchaikovsky and
Stravinsky, and also Jewish settlers in Russia were strongly motivated by Russian folktales and
folksongs, and he discusses how the poetic and historical writings of dramatists such as
Alexander Pushkin, Leo Tolstoy, Nikolai Leskov and Yevgeny Yevtushenko inspired composers
such as Mussorgsky, Tchaikovsky, Prokofiev and Shostakovich to write operas and other works
on deeply Russian themes. The documentary also looks at how authorities both in Imperial and
Soviet Russia reacted to the communicative power of music and literature for the people, and
additionally it examines the public role of music and literature in post Soviet Russia.
Commenting on the latter is the Mariinsky Theatre’s Artistic Director Valery Gergiev, for whom
171
Rodion Schedrin has written his new opera Levsha (The Left-Hander), a satirical picture of the
Russian soul based on the folk-style novel by Nikolai Leskov. Maestro Gergiev and Professor
Weil are also heard in the context of the Mariinsky Theatre’s Easter Festival railway tour of
2013.
This documentary has been made with the generous financial assistance of Northwestern
University.

and stylistic mastery in an exceptionally wide range of opera and song repertoire but also as an
outstanding music scholar, writer and teacher. In celebration of his 60th birthday, which falls on
June 28th, this two hour feature presents him discussing his life, career, teaching and music from
his hugely diverse repertoire, which embraces works
from the 17th Century right up to the present time, and
in no less than a dozen languages.
Thomas Hampson first of all takes us back more than
35 years and tells us how, after initially studying
political science, he became a singer and was strongly
encouraged and vitally influenced by some of the
most eminent musicians and teachers of the time. He
then discusses in revealing detail some of the operatic
roles and song repertoire for which he has been
177
particularly highly extolled. His opera performances and discussions are covered in the first part
of the program, with extracts from works by Mozart, Verdi, Thomas and Britten, and then in the
second half of the feature the focus is on song, with music by Schubert, Berlioz, Schumann,
Mahler, Foster and Bowles. Additionally, the program looks at his deep commitment to vocal
education and the large scale research and study courses he has initiated, and we hear a very
strong illustration of him taking a singing master-class with one of the students who was
specially selected to take part, at the Manhattan School of Music last year.
The music Thomas Hampson sings and discusses is:
Bach – Cantata 140: Wachet auf
Mozart – Don Giovanni
Schubert – Winterreise
Berlioz – Irish Melodies
Schumann Dichterliebe
Verdi – Simon Boccanegra
Thomas – Hamlet
Mahler – Des Knaben Wunderhorn
Foster – American Songs
Bowles – Blue Mountain Ballads
Britten – Billy Budd
