As a boy growing up in New York City, I sang in a choir.
That experience instilled in me not only a lifelong love
of music, but also an appreciation for the joy of performing and sharing
music and songs with others. And I am not alone. Today, more than 40 million
Americans sing with a choir, a cappella, chorus or other music group.
Inspired by these numbers—and the success of our Western
Massachusetts sister station WGBY’s own choral series—WGBH is proud to
bring you Sing That Thing!, a new local series showcasing New England’s best
amateur groups in a friendly competition that celebrates the diversity of song.
Over the course of six episodes, you’ll hear moving performances by 23 singing
teams in four categories (high
school, college, adult small
group and adult large group
ensembles)—more than 600
singers in all.
This production is very
much a collaborative effort.
We’ve lined up three outstanding coaches-judges:
Jane Eaglen, New England
Conservatory professor and opera star; Larry Watson, Berklee College of Music
professor, vocalist and producer; and our own Jared Bowen, WGBH arts editor.
We’ve also worked in partnership with Emerson College, whose students
teamed up with WGBH professionals to learn how to shoot and edit a series.
And we’ve called on the talents of international composer Jim Papoulis to
create an original work that will be interpreted/performed by the eight
finalists in our hour-long grand finale (page 18).
Tying it all together is our talented host Anthony Trecek-King, director of
the Boston Children’s Chorus and a consummate choral master and communicator. Anthony’s enthusiasm for this art form is infectious. “So many cultures
sing, and these choral exchanges can bring communities together,” says
Anthony, winner of the President’s Committee on Arts & Humanities 2013
Award. “In a choir, every voice is different, yet each is equally important.”
As many of you know firsthand, choruses and vocal ensembles are a vital
part of the cultural fabric of our communities. They are a focal point for joyful,
shared experiences. I hope you’ll tune in Sing That Thing! and be as carried
away as I am by the power of voices raised together in song.
With gratitude for all you do in support of WGBH,
Comcast

The Tale of Thomas
Learn all about the origins
of Thomas the Tank Engine
and his world in The
Adventure Begins. This
hour-long movie explores
how the cheeky little
engine arrived on the
Island of Sodor and began
working with his locomotive friends. See him
being painted blue, learn
how he was given the
number 1 and meet the
engine that carried the
number before him! Best
of all, watch Thomas gain
confidence and earn his
very own branch line. New
episodes of Thomas & Friends follow all week long.

Springtime in a Bowl
Salads are a terrific way to turn
vegetables into a main course.
When Martha Stewart invites
guests to lunch, she loves to serve
frisée aux lardons, a savory French
salad made with spicy greens,
crisp bacon, creamy poached eggs
and warm vinaigrette. Her triedand-true chopped salad, featuring
crunchy veggies and piquant herbs, truly looks as wonderful as it tastes.
The culinary classicist also tosses up a masterful Caesar salad and, when a
lighter treat is in order, composes an elegant plate of stacked butter lettuce
enlivened by citrus and fresh ginger.

In every animal’s life, there comes a time when it must stand on its
own four feet and venture into the world alone. For some, this happens mere moments after birth, and without support from parents;
others enjoy the benefit of home schooling by mentors or family
members. But growing up is never
easy, and finding food, avoiding
predators and making friends does
not always come naturally. Witness
the heartrending trials and tribulations of young animals all over the
world as they prepare to go it on
their own.

Filipino American Stories
Filipino Americans are now the second largest group of Asian Americans, but
their stories rarely feature in mainstream media. Filipino American Lives helps
to redress the balance with two wide-ranging episodes that showcase the
variety of Filipino American experience and the historical relationship
between the US and the
Philippines. From the
unheralded role of
Filipinos in the United
Farm Workers Union to
efforts to sustain the
musical traditions of
haranas, take a rich look
inside Filipino America.

Return to Cambodia
Sayon Souen was abducted at
age 6 and exploited by the Khmer
Rouge as a child soldier. After the
regime fell, he was placed in an
orphanage in a refugee camp,
then adopted by a loving family in
the US. Follow Sayon’s present-day
journey as he returns to Cambodia
to meet siblings he had assumed were dead, revisiting childhood memories
in a quest to find the truth about a family he barely remembers and come to
terms with having been a witness to genocide.

mats, she throws women twice her age and far heavier. Now she has her
sights set on taking gold at the judo and wrestling world championships—
and eventually the Olympics. Join
this ambitious young athlete of
Polynesian ancestry as she travels
from Hawaii to compete in mainland and international tournaments, despite financial drain, her
relative youth and lack of experience and the challenges of puberty.

Nine-man is a chaotic streetball game played only by men and only in
Chinatown. It dates to 1930s America, when Chinatowns were overwhelmingly male and racist laws reinforced isolation. This lively film introduces a
history of the game and a diverse cast of players, including 6'7" Olympian
Kevin Wong and a 91-year-old pioneer. From Chinatown parking lots to
lavish banquets, it captures the vibrant spirit of nine-man as devotees battle
for a championship and to preserve this cultural touchstone.

In the early 1900s, the Furuta family founded a successful goldfish farm in
Wintersburg, CA. They were part of an immigrant community that thrived
before California law banned Japanese from owning land. Decades after the
first Furutas helped settle the
area, however, internment
devastated their business and
tore apart their family.
Historians and Furuta descendants reflect upon family and
community in the years
before and after the war.

99.5 WCRB
Music that Matches the Mood
By Anthony Rudel
99.5 WCRB Station Manager
It’s May, which means the carefree days of summer are almost upon us.
Signs of the season are all around, and here at WCRB, we’ll play music that
matches the mood.
That’s why you’ll be hearing the wonderful music of our beloved Boston
Pops Orchestra. We’re featuring four concerts—three led by Keith Lockhart,
one by John Williams—in our Saturday 8pm slot. You can find detailed information about the performances on our website, classicalwcrb.org.
May is also Mother’s Day month, and we’d like to pay homage to these
wonderful women with special listener-submitted dedications. Find us on
Facebook (Facebook.com/99.5WCRB) and tell us a piece you’d like to
dedicate to your special
someone—then on
Mother’s Day, Sunday,
May 10, we’ll play as
many of these dedications as we can. Make
the moms you know
happy with the music
they love from the
ones they love!
Also, I want to
remind you to join us
every Sunday (at 8pm)

This month we’ll span
four centuries: On May 3,
we’ll air Francesco
Cavalli’s rarely heard
comedy L’Ormindo;
on May 10, listen for
Mozart’s charming and also rarely heard Il re pastore
(The Shepherd King); on May 17, enjoy one of the
cornerstones of opera, Wagner’s Lohengrin (left), and
on May 31, we will conclude the month with Puccini’s
final masterpiece, Turandot.
Now, if you’re paying attention, you will have
noticed that we left out Sunday, May 24. That’s part of
Memorial Day Weekend, which comes early this year (May 23–25). WCRB
will be celebrating the unofficial start of summer with a weekend filled by
hour after hour of the greatest music, all selected to match the spirit of the
season. As for opera, that Sunday night (May 24) we’ll focus on vocal music
and choral favorites as part of our Holiday Weekend Spectacular.
Before I sign off, I want to draw attention to some of our weekly features
on WCRB. We select a brand-new recording as our CD of the Week and play
samples from it all week long to give you a full picture of what you can
expect to hear. Plus, we share lots of extra content about the recording and
artist on our website. Also, every Tuesday at noon, we feature a brand-new
release on This Just In. It’s a great way for you to find out what’s new from
the many small and large record labels around the world.
WCRB plays more music than any other radio station in Boston, plus
we connect our listeners to what’s happening in and around the city. If
you’re a regular listener, thank you; if you’re not, what are you waiting for?
99.5 WCRB is Boston’s Classical Station.
Have a happy May!

WCAI, Cape and Islands NPR Station
Making It Work
By Mindy Todd, WCAI host and managing director for editorial
The Cape and Islands may not be the first places that come to mind when
you think of manufacturing, but you may be surprised to learn what’s
happening here.
Our region boasts a long tradition of manufacturing. Some of the
industries have faded away or sent their work overseas, but WCAI’s newest
radio series—Making It Work: Manufacturing on the Cape, South Coast
and Islands—found that new technologies have created manufacturing
opportunities here, particularly when it comes to highly specialized and
technical products.
“There’s this idea that Cape Cod and the Islands’ economy is completely
driven by tourism and that little or nothing is manufactured here,” says
managing editor of news Sean Corcoran. “But not only do companies continue
to cater to traditional industries like cranberry farming and shellfishing, there
also are new, cutting-edge technology-related businesses that are rapidly
growing.”
In recent years, the push has been to promote and develop “advanced
manufacturing”—making things here that really couldn’t be produced
properly elsewhere. For example, in Falmouth and Bourne on Upper Cape
Cod, the past several years have seen remarkable growth in industries related
What’s on WCAI

to underwater robots. And that growth has led to the expansion of related
businesses, such as aluminum and steel work.
Our five-part series also looks at different manufacturing-related
businesses on Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket. Some of those businesses
rely on well-known brands to promote and sell their products, while others
say they benefit from the available workforce, a population originally drawn
to Nantucket and the Vineyard by the casual island lifestyle.
Making It Work: Manufacturing on the Cape, South Coast and Islands will
air from May 4 to May 8 during Morning Edition and All Things Considered.
