A summer of concerts live on WFMT - Check, Please!
A summ e of conce r rts live on WFMT Th omas Wil kins cond ucts the Grant Pa rk Music Festival from the South Sh ore Cultural C enter Friday, Ju ly 29, 6:3 0 pm Air Check Dear Member, Greetings! Summer in Chicago is a time to get out and about, and both WTTW and WFMT are out in the community during these warmer months. We’re bringing PBS Kids walk-around character Nature Cat outdoors to engage with kids around the city and suburbs, encouraging them to discover the natural world in their own back yards; and we recently launched a new Chicago Loop app, which you can download to join Geoffrey Baer and explore our great city and its architectural wonders like never before. And on musical front, WFMT is proud to bring you live summer concerts from the Ravinia and Grant Park festivals; this month, in a first for the station, we will be bringing you a special Grant Park concert from the South Shore Cultural Center with the Grant Park Orchestra led by guest conductor Thomas Wilkins. Remember that you can take all of this content with you on your phone. Go to iTunes to download the WTTW/ PBS Video app, the new WTTW Chicago’s Loop app, and the WFMT app for Apple and Android. This month on WTTW11 and wttw.com, weekend nights in July offer a variety of exciting new content from Great Britain. On Fridays, join us for a new season of the wildly popular The Great British Baking Show; on Saturdays, enjoy a new series of Agatha Christie mysteries and more installments of Luther with Idris Elba. Sundays, settle into mysteries with Dancing on the Edge, The Tunnel, and a new season of Masterpiece Mystery! Inspector Lewis. Chicago Tonight provides exclusive cross-platform reports from the Republican and Democratic National Conventions, at the special time of 10:00 pm and online; we premiere a new season of Wild Travels, a quirky installment of Islands Without Cars from Sweden, and a new world music special from the Old Town School of Folk Music. WTTW’s digital series Chat, Please! serves up a new webisodes all summer long and, last but not least, WTTW brings you the annual Independence Day celebration from Washington, D.C., A Capitol Fourth. On 98.7WFMT and wfmt.com, July offers live broadcasts from the Grant Park Music Festival, with guest artists including the National Youth Choir of Scotland, conductor Marin Alsop, and violinist Rachel Barton Pine. Our Lyric Opera repeats conclude on Saturdays with Romeo and Juliet and Rusalka, and we follow these with specials from the Los Angeles Opera. And to honor Independence Day, we’ll have a mini-festival of American music from July 1-4. We hope all of this, and much more, enhances your enjoyment of the summertime in Chicago.

Sony SK-52489. [15:35] Schubert 2016 JULY 25 Christoph König Grant Park Music Festival Live: Bruckner Since Anton Bruckner was a composer during the Romantic era, and very much a practitioner of the lush late-Romantic style, it’s a little odd that just one of his symphonies is singled out with the nickname of Romantic. This is his Symphony #4 in E-Flat, probably the best-known and best-liked of all his works, and the one that marked his first major success. It’s actually a nickname used by the composer himself, who had originally conceived an extra-musical program for the work based on images and tales from the Middle Ages: the first movement is meant to evoke “dawn at a medieval citadel…knights sally forth from the gates on proud chargers.” The second movement evokes a lovers’ duet, and the third, the most obviously descriptive, portrays a medieval hunt in which horn calls are especially prominent. Guest conductor Christoph König returns to Pritzker Pavilion to conduct this work, opening the program with Haydn.

Morlot, who began his musical studies on the violin, is in demand internationally as a guest conductor. On a 2015 visit to Chicago he conducted Beethoven’s Symphony #3, Eroica, a Berlioz overture, and The Seamstress for violin and orchestra by Anna Clyne, a former CSO composerin-residence. It was commissioned by the CSO, which was joined by violinist Jennifer Koh for the premiere. The work is in one continuous movement and is described by its composer as an imaginary ballet, showing the tales envisioned by a seamstress as she works. It’s scored for the soloist, a very large orchestra, and electronics. Sunday, July 17, 1:00 pm Quartet. Sony SK-58966.

This will be WFMT’s first live broadcast from this venue, which was built in 1905 as the South Shore Country Club. In 1975 it was sold to the Chicago Park District, which preserved the main building (built in the Mediterranean Revival architectural style). The center now houses a School of the Arts that encompasses a theater, a gallery, and an art studio. This is in addition to the center’s beach, restaurant, picnic areas, public golf course, and nature center. Great space for a summer concert!
