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 more than 85,000 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.” 7 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 more than 85,000 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. 8 Beethoven Network (BN) HOURLY CLOCK ALL HOURS ARE HOSTED BY PETER VAN DE GRAAFF PLEASE NOTE: THE CLOCK IS IDENTICAL FOR ALL HOURS 0000:00-0059:40 0000:00-0006:00 Varies with program 0057:40-0059:40 0059:40-0100:00 Programming Optional Break Optional Break Optional Break Mandatory ID Break 06:00 avail 02:00 avail 02:00 avail 00:20 Network programming is provided during all optional breaks; silence during mandatory breaks.

After beginning his radio career in 1984 at KBYU, he came to 98.7 WFMT as a staff announcer in 1988. For the past 25+ years he has been the host of the Beethoven Network, a nationallysyndicated 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, operas from the European Broadcasting Union, the Lyric Opera of Chicago, Music of the Baroque, and the Vermeer Quartet. In addition to his distinguished career in media, Peter has sung to great acclaim throughout the world. 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, in Tel Aviv, the Israeli Chamber Orchestra joined him in a Mozart Mass, and he has appeared in Tokyo as a recitalist. 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 others. Peter has a great interest in languages and speaks Dutch, German and French, with additional study in Italian, Spanish and Russian. In 2010, Peter van de Graaff was the sixth recipient of the Karl Haas Prize for Music Education, joining fellow recipients Michael Tilson Thomas, Peter Schickele, Martin Bookspan, Howard Goodall, and Christopher O’Riley. 10 Beethoven Network (BN) 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.” 11 PROGRAM: WQXR Presents Lucrezia Borgia from Caramoor Code: Genre: Length: Frequency: Delivery Type: Optional Breaks: Air Window: CAR14 Music, Classical, Opera 3 hours (approximate) Special PRX and CD Two November 8, 2014 Host: Producer: Elaine Warner Martha Bonta, Elaine Warner Contact Information: Estlin Usher: 773-279-2112, [email protected] David Sims: 773-279-2027, [email protected] Tony Macaluso: 773-279-2114, [email protected] This special is available free of charge to all affiliate stations for one broadcast in the week of November 8. WQXR is pleased to present Donizetti’s bel canto masterpiece, Lucrezia Borgia, recorded live in July 2014 at The Caramoor Summer Music Festival, a performing arts center located on a unique 90-acre setting about 50 miles north of New York City. Director of Opera Will Crutchfield leads the Orchestra of St. Luke’s and a stellar cast including acclaimed soprano Angela Meade in her highly anticipated debut in the title role, Tamara Mumford as Maffio Orsini, Michele Angelini as Gennaro, and Christophoros Stamboglis as Duke Alfonso. Reviewing Ms. Meade’s breakout role debut as Norma at Caramoor in 2010, the New York Times exclaimed “From the first lines of Norma’s entrance…Ms. Meade sounded in complete control of the role.” She has gone on to display that control in acclaimed Norma performances at the Metropolitan Opera, the Washington National Opera, and elsewhere. Now she returns to Caramoor to introduce her interpretation of another iconic bel canto heroine. 12 WQXR Presents Lucrezia Borgia from Caramoor Broadcast Schedule — Fall 2014 PROGRAM #: RELEASE: CAR 14-01 November 8, 2014 OPERA: COMPOSER: LIBRETTO: LUCREZIA BORGIA Gaetano Donizetti Felice Romani CAST: Lucrezia Borgia Maffio Orsini Gennaro Alfonso D'Este Jeppo Liverotto Don Apostolo Gazella Ascanio Petrucci Oloferno Vitellozzo Rustighello Gubetta Astolfo Angela Meade Tamara Mumford Michele Angelini Christophoros Stamboglis Sungwook Kim Hans Tashjian Kyle Oliver William Hearn Cameron Schutza Joseph Beutel Zachary Altman CONDUCTOR: ORCHESTRA: CHORUS: CHORUS MASTER: Will Crutchfield Orchestra of St. Luke’s Bel Canto Young Artists and Apprentices Rachelle Jonck Approx.

WFMT and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra are excited to share this performance of Verdi’s Macbeth, recorded in Chicago in 2013 to celebrate the 200th anniversary of Verdi’s birth. Music Director Riccardo Muti, one of the finest living Verdi interpreters, led the dynamic and moving concert with a cast featuring Luca Salsi (Macbeth), Tatiana Serjan (Lady Macbeth), Dmitriy Belosselskiy (Banco), and Francesco Meli (Macduff). The combined forces of the CSO, the Chicago Symphony Chorus (Duain Wolfe, director), and Riccardo Muti make this a program not to be missed. Critics were unanimous in praising the all performers, with the Chicago Sun-Times declaring, “From her first aria, thrilled by news of Macbeth’s victory in battle, Serjan’s lady was a woman possessed. Combining hellish fire and deadly ice, she soared fearlessly through Verdi’s punishing coloratura flights but also brought subtle color to his long, singing lines.” The Chicago Tribune stated, “Together with the splendid Chicago Symphony Chorus and a virtuoso orchestra that made up in power and precision what it lacks in operatic playing experience, Muti led a finely detailed, dramatically gripping account that kept one focused on the inexorable unfolding of a great Shakespearean tragedy, retold through Verdi's great music. The audience leapt to its feet at the end of the nearly 31/2-hour performance (including two intermissions), applauding and cheering into the night.” The CSO’s music director position is endowed in perpetuity by a generous gift from the Zell Family Foundation. 39 The Chicago Symphony Orchestra presents Verdi’s Macbeth Broadcast Schedule — Fall 2014 PROGRAM #: RELEASE: COO 14-01 November 22, 2014 OPERA: COMPOSER: LIBRETTO: MACBETH Giuseppe Verdi Francesco Maria Piave CAST: Macbeth Lady Macbeth Banquo Macduff Malcolm Lady-in-Waiting Assassin/Doctor Servant/Herald Three Apparitions Luca Salsi Tatiana Serjan Dmitriy Belosselskiy Francesco Meli Antonello Ceron Simge Büyükedes Gianluca Buratto Daniel Eifert David Govertsen Katelyn Casey Lily Shorney CONDUCTOR: ORCHESTRA: CHORUS: CHORUS MASTER: Riccardo Muti Chicago Symphony Orchestra Chicago Symphony Chorus Duain Wolfe Approx.

Welcome to a broadcast by the Civic Orchestra of Chicago: a pre-professional training orchestra of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra founded in 1919 by Frederick Stock, then music director of the CSO. A signature initiative of the CSO’s Institute for Learning, Access and Training, the Civic Orchestra provides promising career-bound musicians a unique access to the musical resources of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and hands-on training experiences with the musicians of the CSO and some of today’s most sought-after conductors including CSO Music Director Riccardo Muti. Under the leadership of Civic Principal Conductor Cliff Colnot and CSO Judson and Joyce Green Creative Consultant Yo-Yo Ma, the Civic Orchestra musicians develop as exceptional orchestral players and engaged citizen musicians, and cultivate their ability to succeed in the rapidly evolving world of music in the 21st century. The Civic gives critically acclaimed performances in Orchestra Hall at Symphony Center, and in other parts of the metropolitan area; its members also give chamber concerts, and all these performances are free of charge to the greater Chicago community. Over the years, many Civic members have gone on to distinguished careers in the Chicago Symphony Orchestra as well as all the major orchestras of the United States and throughout the 41 world.

After the huge success of The Callas Legacy and The Art of Wilhelm Furtwängler, Henry Fogel returned with Collectors’ Corner. 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-of-print, or hard to locate in the United States.” The series includes a broad range of orchestral, vocal, chamber and solo-instrumental music. On Collectors’ Corner this quarter, highlights include four programs on the music of Charles Munch, two programs on the music of Croatian composer Dora Pejacevic, an exquisite archival recording of Vladimir Sofronitzky performing at Moscow Conservatory, the first recording of the authentic arrangement of Joplin’s Treemonisha, the stunning beauty of Maria Callas’ Norma, and more! 46 COLLECTORS’ CORNER with HENRY FOGEL Broadcast Schedule — Fall 2014 PROGRAM #: RELEASE: CCF 14-27 September 29, 2014 Title: Music of Charles Villiers Stanford – Program 2 of 2 Stanford: Irish Rhapsody No. 4, Fisherman of Loch Neagh (Handley; Ulster Symphony) Chandos CHAN 8581 Violin Concerto (Marwood; Brabbins; BBC Symphony Orchestra) Hyperion CDA 67208 Intermezzi for Clarinet and Piano (Johnson; Martineau) ASV 787 Symphony No. 5 (Handley; Ulster Symphony) Chandos CHAN 8581 PROGRAM #: RELEASE: CCF 14-28 October 6, 2014 Title: The Art of Charles Munch – Program 1 of 4 Berlioz: Les nuits d’ete (De los Angeles; Boston Symphony) Japan RCA BVCC 7916-7 Requiem (Simoneau; New England Conservatory Choir; Boston Symphony) Japanese RCA BVCC 7916-7 Berlioz: PROGRAM #: RELEASE: CCF 14-29 October 13, 2014 Title: The Art of Charles Munch – Program 2 of 4 Mendelssohn: Wagner: Brahms: Rameau: Symphony No. 3, Scottish (Boston Symphony) RCA 60483-2 Prelude and Liebestod from Tristan und Isolde (Farrell, Boston Symphony Orchestra) Japanese RCA BVCC 7911 Symphony No. 1 (Boston Symphony, Live) O O O Classics THO 66 Dardanus Suite (Chicago Symphony) CSO 00-10 PROGRAM #: RELEASE: CCF 14-30 October 20, 2014 Title: The Art of Charles Munch – Program 3 of 4 Saint-Saens: Symphony No. 3, Organ (Zamkochian; Boston Symphony Orchestra) RCA 5750-2 47 Saint-Saens: Berlioz: Tchaikovsky: Rouet d’Omphale (Boston Symphony Orchestra) Japanese RCA BVCC 7923 Symphonie fantastique (BSO) Japanese RCA BVCC 7914 Francesca da Rimini (Royal Philharmonic) Chesky CD-7 PROGRAM #: RELEASE: CCF 14-31 October 27, 2014 Title: The Art of Charles Munch – Program 4 of 4 Schubert: Brahms: Berlioz: Symphony No. 9 in C Major (Boston Symphony) Japanese RCA BVCC 7906 Immolation from Götterdämmerung (Farrell; Boston Symphony) Japanese RCA BVCC 7911 Symphony No. 4 (Boston Symphony) Japanese RCA BVCC 7910 Corsair Overture (Boston Symphony) Japanese RCA BVCC 7915 PROGRAM #: RELEASE: CCF 14-32 November 3, 2014 Title: THE Callas Norma Bellini: Norma (Maria Callas;del Monaco; Simionato; Serafin; La Scala) Pristine Audio PACO 083 PROGRAM #: RELEASE: CCF 14-33 November 10, 2014 Title: Vladimir Sofronitzky Recital at the Moscow Conservatory, June 11, 1954 Wagner: Music by Borodin; Kiadov; Rachmaninoff; Scriabin; Prokofiev; Kabalevsky; Holz; Mendelssohn; Debussy and Chopin.

We bring it to you from the source: arguably the world’s densest infrastructure for classical music with an incomparable year of festivals. Germany is not only the world’s third-largest music market. It also has some 500 (yes, five hundred) music festivals in all genres, a good portion of them classical. Besides the meat and potatoes of the repertory, these events serve a fare from delicate to spicy, with some rare treats. In castles and sheds, churches and halls both historic and sleek-modern, they’re performed for relaxed audiences in a festive mood. Ambience and feeling are shared by the musicians, who contribute their own insights and give edge-of-your-seat performances. The recordings are made by Germany’s public broadcasting system and Deutsche Welle itself, so count on solid technical quality. Host Rick Fulker, a long-time observer of the scene, visits the events and interviews soloists and conductors. He loves nothing more than sharing the music with users on radio and online. It’s an “ExStraussaganza” of a year as Richard Strauss, born on June 11, 1864, is being feted in his 150th anniversary year in events from the Baltic Sea to the Alps. We bring you three, with the star lineup of conductors including veteran Daniel Barenboim, young maestro Andris Nelsons and – need we say more? – Christian Thielemann. Expect the sparks to fly as the two orchestras Strauss himself most intensively worked with – the Staatskapelle Berlin and the Staatskapelle Dresden – continue to battle it out for the privilege of being called the Strauss orchestra. Two of 51 the events come from Dresden’s glittering Semper Opera, where the composer premiered no fewer than nine of his operas. Then, as you’ve doubtless gathered, there’s another birthday boy this year: Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, born three hundred years ago, on March 8, 1714. In his age, he was called “the great Bach,” his fame outshining that of his father, Johann Sebastian. But hearing our two programs of “Bach and Sons,” you might find yourself feeling, as we do, that the one momentarily being played is definitely the great one. The events span a stretch of territory from Schwetzingen Palace, in the West of Germany, to St. Thomas’ Church in Leipzig, in the East. The latter, of course, is where the “old man” spent 27 years of his very productive life and raised his talented progeny, including C.P.E. Among other things, these shows illustrate the incredible development in music in the decades marked by Bach and his sons. Who’s afraid of contemporary music? Not Berlin-based American conductor Jonathan Stockhammer, who assembled a roller coaster of a program with Reich, Adams, Ligeti, Abrahamsen and Zappa at Cologne’s Eight Bridges Festival. And Stockhammer too enjoys spilling the secrets and guiding the listener through a program both thought-provoking and fun. “Vertical” seems like too gentle a description for the career trajectory of twenty-three year old Russian pianist Daniil Trifonov: Carnegie Hall recital in 2013, contract with Deutsche Grammophon, his greatest admirers including fellow pianists Alfred Brendel and Marta Argerich, Trifonov has now hit the festival circuit. We catch up with him in Schwetzingen for a recital with sounds from delicate to demonic. One of Germany’s most hailed living composers has a conducting sideline, and you can hear the result when Jörg Widmann teams up with the Irish Chamber Orchestra in Heidelberg. Not a historical connection perhaps, but a perfect blend of setting and sound is what the Mozart Festival in Würzburg is about - in the opulent setting of the local palace. Lest we forget, Beethoven’s home town – Bonn, Germany – is also the home of Deutsche Welle and of likely the world’s premiere Beethovenfest. Just around the time he takes the helm with the Boston Symphony, Andris Nelsons jets back to Germany to lead his energetic City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra in the complete cycle of Ludwig van’s symphonies. The programs, each lasting one hour and fifty-eight minutes, can be combined with the second part of the series in Winter 2015 for half a year of music made in Germany. Or the modular miniseries (Strauss, the Bachs and Beethoven) can be scheduled to fit. Promos provided, custom made promos if requested. It’s a strong season you won’t want to miss! 52 DEUTSCHE WELLE FESTIVAL CONCERTS Broadcast Schedule — Fall 2014/Winter 2015 PROGRAM #: RELEASE: DWF 14-01 September 22, 2014 Strauss and Thielemann at the Anniversary Gala in Dresden Conductor: Orchestra: Soloists: Christian Thielemann Saxon Staatskapelle Dresden Christine Goerke, soprano Camilla Nylund, soprano Anja Harteros, mezzo-soprano R.

Each week’s programs are unified by compositions that share a central theme, which might be a composer, a period of history, or a musical form. Peabody Award-winning broadcaster Bill McGlaughlin is a broadly experienced musician, conductor, and composer. Bill draws on his background, his love of jazz, and his unmatched musical knowledge to connect recorded examples with engaging commentary. McGlaughlin is an affable, yet erudite musical story teller, whose insights speak to both novice and expert classical music fans. Listeners and program directors have enthusiastically responded to Bill McGlaughlin’s anecdotes and illustrations at the piano, and recently, The Association of Music Personnel in Public Radio (AMPPR) honored Bill McGlaughlin with its Lifetime Achievement Award during the 2011 Public Radio Music Conference. The series is also syndicated internationally, and its universal appeal was recently recognized by listeners in Canberra, Australia, who chose Exploring Music as the recipient of the 2010 Artsound Award for Best Overseas Program. “We MADE our fundraising goal for the first time in about four years! Your funders really helped to make the difference as did a flurry of new listeners, the best online pledging we've seen, concert tickets from area presenters and donated original artwork for our final day. Our 60 listeners really LOVE Exploring Music, and Bill McGlaughlin's remarkable breadth of knowledge and topics presented in a highly passionate yet personal style." -- Kimberly Powell, KCSC, Edmond, OK Draw your listeners more fully into the world of classical music and develop new audience members by adding Exploring Music with Bill McGlaughlin to your program schedule. 61 EXPLORING MUSIC with Bill McLaughlin Broadcast Schedule — Fall 2014 Please note: these programs are subject to change.

I can remember thinking as I walked away from my second piano lesson – ‘Well, that’s it. I’ll be a musician.’ Of course, I had no idea what that decision meant exactly.” Over the years, McGlaughlin was to discover that ‘being a musician’ could embrace a great many paths. He has served as an educator, a performer, a trombonist with the Philadelphia Orchestra and Pittsburgh symphony, and as a conductor – seven years as Associate Conductor with the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, followed by periods as Music Director of orchestras in Eugene, OR, Tucson, AZ, and San Francisco, CA, and most recently, a twelve year engagement as Music Director of the Kansas City Symphony. He has also been active as a guest conductor, leading the Baltimore Symphony, Denver Symphony, Houston Symphony, Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, Minnesota Orchestra, National Symphony, New Orleans Symphony, Oregon Symphony, Pacific Symphony, Pittsburgh Symphony, St. Louis Symphony, Opera Theatre St. Louis, American Music Theater Festival and San Antonio Festival. Bill McGlaughlin has also been active in broadcasting, serving as host of the popular public radio program St. Paul Sunday since its inception in 1980. In 1996 the program received the highest honor in broadcasting, the George Foster Peabody Award. McGlaughlin has also been active with PBS, the BBC and is now in his ninth season as co-host of the chamber music program Center Stage From Wolftrap. It was not until 1997 that McGlaughlin made a public debut in the role that he considers his most challenging – that of composer. His Three Dreams and a Question: Choral Songs on E.E. Cummings – a work dedicated to the memory of the young composer and pianist Kevin Oldham – was enthusiastically received by audiences, performers and press at its premiere with the Kansas City Symphony, and was quickly followed by five more premieres within a ten month span. Aaron’s Horizons, a work dedicated to the spirit of Aaron Copland, (with whom McGlaughlin worked in the 1970s), has been heard nationwide in a broadcast with members of the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra. In the summer of 1998, Bill McGlaughlin signed a contract with Subito Music, which now publishes all of his work. His recent works include Walt Whitman’s Dream, for large chorus and orchestra, a work commissioned by Continental Harmony, a Millennium project sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts and the American Composers Forum. He has also composed a piece in collaboration with Garrison Keillor, Surveying Lake Wobegon, which has its premiere at the Ravinia Festival in Chicago on September 3, 2000, and has since been played by orchestras from coast to coast. In addition, he contributed a piece for a ‘quartet of neglected instruments’ for the December 23, 2000 Prairie Home Companion broadcast from Town Hall in New York. He composed a work in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Minneapolis Civic Orchestra, which was premiered on March 17, 2002. Three Pieces for Wind Trio was given its first performance at the Kemper Museum in Kansas City on June 1, 2002. Among Bill’s many awards, he received the Lifetime Achievement Award from Fine Arts Radio International in 2004, the 2008 Dushkin Award from the Music Institute of Chicago for Exploring Music, which was also voted “Best Overseas Program” in the 2010 ArtSound FM Awards in Australia. And recently, The Association of Music Personnel in Public Radio (AMPPR) honored Bill with its Lifetime Achievement Award during the 2011 Public Radio Music Conference. The award was presented by AMPPR President David Duff, during a brief ceremony in the Jerome L. Greene Performance Space at New York radio station WQXR. 65 PROGRAM: FIESTA! with Elbio Barilari Code: Genre: Length: Frequency: Delivery Type: Optional Breaks: Air Window: FST14 Music, Classical, Latin 59 minutes 52 weeks PRX, File Transfer and CD One April 1, 2014 – March 31, 2015 Host: Producer: Underwriter: Elbio Barilari Daniel Goldberg Joyce Saxon Contact Information: Estlin Usher: 773-279-2112, [email protected] David Sims: 773-279-2027, [email protected] Tony Macaluso: 773-279-2114, [email protected] This series is available free of charge to all affiliate stations for one broadcast through March 31, 2015. 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 VillaLobos and the power of symphonic tango. Plus, the series shares little-known treasures from the Latin-American Baroque, and celebrates classical guitar through the music of Agustin Barrios, Antonio Lauro, and Leo Brouwer. 66 FIESTA! with Elbio Barilari Broadcast Schedule — Fall 2014 PROGRAM #: RELEASE: FST 14-27 October 5, 2014 The Sound of the Pampas The Pampas, the huge plains that extend throughout the southern part of Brazil, Uruguay and central Argentina, are (or were) the domains of the gauchos, the southern cowboys.

Elbio Rodríguez Barilari was born in 1953 in Montevideo, Uruguay, where he studied at the Conservatório Universitario and with Coriún Aharonián, Graciela Paraskevaídis and Héctor Tosar before continuing his education in Brazil with Eduardo Bertola, Hans-Joachim Koellreutter, Gilberto Mendes, Joaquín Orellana and Conrado Silva at the Cursos Latinoamericanos de Música Contemporáne. He subsequently studied in Germany on an invitation from the Deutscher Musikrat, with Milko Kelemen, Helmut Lachenmann and Dieter Schnebel; he was also mentored while in Europe by Luciano Berio, Konrad Boehmer, Otto Donner and Misha Mengelberg. As a clarinetist and saxophonist, from 1994 to 1997 Barilari led the Barilari Quinteto and organized Planeta Blues, the first Uruguayan blues band to tour Europe and to record a compact disc; during the 1990s, he also led the fourteen-piece La Banda Oriental. Since settling in the United States in 1998, Barilari has lectured at the University of Chicago and the Instituto Cervantes and given workshops in Chile and Paraguay; he is currently on the faculty of the University of Illinois at Chicago. He has collaborated annually with the Grant Park Music Festival since helping to organize a tribute concert to Astor Piazzolla in 2002, for which he was also commissioned to write his Bandoneón Concerto. In June 2006, the Grant Park Orchestra, conducted by Carlos Kalmar, premiered his Canyengue at Millennium Park; that same season at Grant Park he also recruited and prepared the orchestra of native South American instruments for the performance of Ariel Ramírez’s Misa Criolla. Barilari is also the founder of “Global Warming,” a Chicago ensemble devoted to the exploration of various cultural traditions. Elbio Barilari has been closely involved with educational and community affairs, having served as an advisor to the Ministry of Education and Culture in Uruguay, Uruguayan delegate to the cultural section of MERCOSUR, and Deputy Commissioner of the Committee for the Reform of the State of Illinois Code of Education. He has also been a member of the Community Advisory Board of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra since 2001, and was appointed to the CSO Programming Committee in 2006. As a composer, Barilari has received commissions from the Grant Park Music Festival, Concertante di Chicago, Chicago Park District, Chicago Composer Forums, Orquesta Filarmonica de Montevideo, pianists Maria João Pires and Marcel Worms and guitarist Eduardo Fernandez, and a grant from the Sara Lee Foundation. In addition to works for orchestra, chamber ensembles and solo instruments, he has provided scores for more than forty plays in the United States, Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay. In 2007, his Los Cantos for Soprano, Choir and Orchestra was premiered at Lyric Opera of Chicago to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the Chicago Children’s Choir. His Lincolniana, incorporating texts by Carl Sandburg and Walt Whitman and featuring jazz trumpeter Orbert Davis, Goodman Theatre actor-director Henry Godinez and the Ondas Ensemble, was first heard at the Ravinia Festival in September 2008. Barilari has published a novel (Lugares Comunes, 1987), four collections of short stories (Posibles Versiones [1985], Fuera de la Nada [1986], Alarmas y Excursiones [1990] and La Mitad del Infinito [1994]), and a book on Uruguayan folk and popular music (Aquí se canta, 71 1982, co-authored with Juan Capagorry). He has also served as music critic and columnist for the newspaper El País as well as editor-in-chief for La Raza, the leading American-Hispanic weekly, and director of its monthly publication Arena Cultural. 72 PROGRAM: GILMORE INTERNATIONAL KEYBOARD FESTIVAL Code: Genre: Length: Frequency: Delivery Type: Optional Breaks: Air Window: GIL14 Music, Classical, Festival 59 minutes 13 weeks PRX and CD One October 1, 2014 – September 30, 2015 Host: Producer: Joan Kjaer Jesse McQuarters Contact Information: Estlin Usher: 773-279-2112, [email protected] David Sims: 773-279-2027, [email protected] Tony Macaluso: 773-279-2114, [email protected] This series is available free of charge to all affiliate stations for one broadcast through September 30, 2015.

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, WFMT created the Jazz Network, now 9 hours nightly of mainstream jazz programming, selected and hosted by the legendary jazz expert Bob Parlocha. Modeled after the BN service, the 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 with a local sound which will have your listeners convinced that Bob is sitting in your studio. JazzTimes magazine listeners voted and Jazz Network with Bob Parlocha was declared the No. 1 best syndicated jazz network (Jan-Feb 2003 issue). Here are some comments about the Jazz Network (all quotes are from letters on file): “...Parlocha is a pro and to pay attention to him and the music he selects is to be a part of a first rate jazz educational experience...” “The WFMT Jazz Network is the perfect cultural programming service for public radio. It’s both listener-friendly and station-friendly, qualities which make it ideal for these lean and mean times.” 76 JAZZ NETWORK HOURLY CLOCK All Times Given as Eastern Time The Jazz Network is available 9 hours a day/7 days a week via PRX from 0000ET to 0900ET.

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. For 10 years jazz remained a hobby while he worked in psychiatric nursing at UCSF, developing interpersonal skills that would serve him well in the music business. After one routine day at the hospital, he heard Pat Henry inviting prospective deejays to submit audition tapes to KJAZ. Bob sent in his tape and Henry ultimately hired him to program Saturday evenings, which eventually led to the Dinner Jazz shift. 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-raises. 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's gourmet cooking hobby has also benefited KJAZ audiences. His "Cooking With Bob" column appeared in the bimonthly KJAZ newsletters, and he has done several live remotes from Bay Area restaurants on Dinner Jazz. When he's not recording segments for broadcast, he can be found in the kitchen improvising dishes to satisfy his gourmet-cooking hobby. Besides his on-air duties at KJAZ, Bob was music director, auditioning new releases and determining which albums and cuts fit the KJAZ mold. Because KJAZ was one of only a handful of jazz stations nationally reporting air play to the prestigious "Radio and Records" publication, which influences programming at hundreds of smaller stations and, ultimately, record sales, he performed an extremely important function. A highly creative producer, he has developed many interesting specialty shows. His catalog includes the "Black Masters" series, "Latin Jazz," "On The Scene," spotlighting Bay Area musicians in live performance, and "What's New," reviewing album releases with a Bay Area panel of experts. Parlocha has also produced a number of albums for artists. His first was singer Laurie Antonioli's "Soul Eyes" on Catero Records. He engineered the late Martha Young's "Live at Bajone's" album on the Carnelian label and an album for pianist Steve Cohn. Bob generously donates his time to jazz causes, especially those aiding Bay Area musicians. He also delights in identifying and developing younger air talent. Bob still enjoys playing the saxophone and sharing his talents with Bay Area audiences. 78 PROGRAM: LIVING AMERICAN COMPOSERS: NEW MUSIC FROM BOWLING GREEN Code: Genre: Length: Frequency: Delivery Type: Optional Breaks: Air Window: MBG13 Music, Classical 59 minutes 13 weeks PRX, File Transfer and CD One October 1, 2013 – December 31, 2014 Host/Producer: Underwriters: Brad Cresswell and WGTE Public Media Dottie and DeWayne Hansen, and Bowling Green State University Contact Information: Estlin Usher: 773-279-2112, [email protected] David Sims: 773-279-2027, [email protected] Tony Macaluso: 773-279-2114, [email protected] This series is available free of charge to all affiliate stations for one broadcast through September 30, 2014. "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 American 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 modern 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. The list of composers featured on New Music from Bowling Green reads like a "Who's Who of Modern Music:" David Lang; Kevin Puts; John Luther Adams, Shulamit Ran; Christopher Theofanides, and Michael Daugherty (among many others). We also focus heavily on the music 79 of Pulitzer Prize-winner Jennifer Higdon, who is one of the world's most-performed living composers. Jennifer is an alumna of BGSU, having graduated from the College of Musical Arts in the mid 1980's. While she entered the school as a flutist, Jennifer left as a budding composer. In a special three-episode arc, she takes us on a tour of her works that relate directly to her experiences at Bowling Green. Acclaimed conductor Robert Spano also makes an appearance, to lend some insight into those formative years (he was on BGSU's faculty at the time). Other highlights of the series include a program of award-winning works by student composers (some of them still in high school), and a concert recorded live at New York City's celebrated new music cabaret, (Le) Poisson Rouge. About Brad Cresswell Award-winning producer; programmer, and music host Brad Cresswell is Radio Program Manager and Music Director for WGTE Public Media in Toledo, Ohio. For several years Brad was a host and producer for WNYC Radio in New York, where he oversaw the creation of that station's 24/7 classical music service on the Internet and HD Radio, WNYC2 (now WQXR's popular Q2 channel). In 2007, Brad was a co-recipient of the first ASCAP Deems Taylor Multimedia Award for his work on 24 Hours and 33 Minutes: The Playful and Playable John Cage, an online contemporary music festival. During his time in New York, Brad also worked behind the scenes at Metropolitan Opera Radio, where he wrote dozens of radio scripts for their SirusXM channel. In front of the microphone, he can still be heard as a regular host of the popular Metropolitan Opera Quiz, which is heard on over 300 radio stations world-wide. Before entering public radio, Brad enjoyed an 18-year career as an operatic tenor, and performed leading roles with the New York City Opera; Lyric Opera of Chicago; San Francisco Opera; Washington Opera, and the Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires, among many others. His singing voice can be heard on commercial classical recordings issued by the London, Philips, New World, Innova, and Carlton Classics record labels. 80 LIVING AMERICAN COMPOSERS: NEW MUSIC FROM BOWLING GREEN Broadcast Schedule — Fall 2013 These programs are subject to change All performances feature the Bowling Green Philharmonia under Emily Freeman Brown unless otherwise noted.

Each year since its founding in 1919, the Los Angeles Philharmonic has been hailed as Southern California’s leading performing arts institution. Today, under the dynamic leadership of 33-year-old Venezuelan Gustavo Dudamel, who in 2009 became the orchestra’s eleventh music director, the Philharmonic is still recognized as one of the world’s outstanding orchestras. When he inaugurated his Philharmonic tenure at the Hollywood Bowl, a crowd of eighteen thousand people greeted him with a hollering and stamping pop-star ovation. There are three main elements behind Gustavo Dudamel’s appeal. The first is his astonishing natural command of the art of conducting. Advance notice of his talent spread not through public relations departments but in awestruck reports from such illustrious colleagues as Claudio Abbado and Sir Simon Rattle, who encountered him on visits to Venezuela. Second, Maestro Dudamel has an infectious emotional energy that tends to win over jaded souls in audiences and orchestras alike. He does not have the stone-faced mask of seriousness; his bright eyes and wriggling features suggest that he revels in what he does. Finally, his Latino background puts a new face on an art that is widely viewed as an all-white affair. He is a product of El Sistema, Venezuela’s legendary network of youth orchestras, which draws talent from the poorest sections of the country, and his perspective is bracingly different from that of the staid conservatory graduate. The Orchestra’s involvement with Los Angeles extends far beyond regular symphony concerts in a concert hall. It embraces the schools, churches, and neighborhood centers of a huge and vastly 85 diverse community. In fact, the Los Angeles Philharmonic devotes much of its energy and resources to ensuring that its presence is felt in every corner of Los Angeles. Each year, there is a 30-week winter subscription season at the extraordinary Walt Disney Concert Hall, and a 12week summer festival at the world-famous Hollywood Bowl, where “Music Under the Stars” has been a popular tradition since 1922. The Philharmonic owes its birth to William Andrews Clark, Jr., a multi-millionaire and amateur musician, who established the city’s first permanent symphony orchestra in 1919. The 94 musicians of the new ensemble met for their first rehearsal Monday morning, October 13 of that year, under the direction of Walter Henry Rothwell, whom Clark had brought from the St. Paul (Minnesota) Symphony Orchestra. Eleven days later, Rothwell conducted the Orchestra’s premiere performance before a capacity audience of 2,400 at Trinity Auditorium in downtown Los Angeles. Following its opening season in 1919-1920, the Orchestra made Philharmonic Auditorium, on the northeast corner of Fifth and Olive, its home for the next 44 years. Mr. Rothwell remained the Orchestra’s music director until his death in 1927. Since then, ten renowned conductors have served in that capacity: George Schnéevoigt (1927-1929) Artur Rodzinski (1929-1933) Otto Klemperer (1933-1939) Alfred Wallenstein (1943-1956) Eduard van Beinum (1956-1959) Zubin Mehta (1962-1978) Carlo Maria Giulini (1978-1984) André Previn (1985-1989) Esa-Pekka Salonen (1992-2009) Gustavo Dudamel (2009-present) Since its first season, the Philharmonic has made downtown Los Angeles its winter home. It was in December 1964 that it began its residency at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion of the Music Center of Los Angeles County, and in the fall of 2003, the Philharmonic took up residence in the acoustically superb, stunning Frank Gehry-designed Walt Disney Concert Hall – the fourth performing venue in the Music Center complex. At the same time, the Los Angeles Philharmonic Association vastly increased the number of concerts it presents during the winter season, which now includes jazz, world music, organ recitals, Baroque concerts, holiday programs and much more. 86 LA PHILHARMONIC Broadcast Schedule — Spring 2014 PROGRAM #: RELEASE: LAP 14-01 April 1, 2014 CONDUCTOR: SOLOISTS: Gustavo Dudamel Yefim Bronfman, piano; Pedro Carneiro, percussion Lieberson/Knussen: Schubert: Tchaikovsky: Shing Kham Symphony No. 4 Piano Concerto No. 1 PROGRAM #: RELEASE: LAP 14-02 April 8, 2014 CONDUCTOR: SOLOIST: Esa-Pekka Salonen Anssi Karttunen, cello; Debussy: Lindberg: Bartók: Nocturnes Cello Concerto No. 2 Music for Strings, Percussion, and Celesta PROGRAM #: RELEASE: LAP 14-03 April 15, 2014 CONDUCTOR: SOLOIST: Esa-Pekka Salonen Leila Josefowicz, violin Ives: Salonen: Sibelius: The Unanswered Question Violin Concerto Symphony No. 5 PROGRAM #: RELEASE: LAP 14-04 April 22, 2014 CONDUCTOR: SOLOIST: Gustavo Dudamel Yuja Wang, piano Bjarnason: Rachmaninoff: Stravinsky: Blow bright Piano Concerto No. 3 Petrushka PROGRAM #: LAP 14-05 87 RELEASE: April 29, 2014 CONDUCTOR: SOLOIST: Lionel Bringuier Camilla Tilling, soprano Brahms: Berg: Beethoven: Variations on a Theme by Haydn Seven Early Songs Symphony No. 4 PROGRAM #: RELEASE: LAP 14-06 May 6, 2014 CONDUCTOR: Gustavo Dudamel Tchaikovsky: Tchaikovsky: Symphony No. 1, Winter Daydreams Symphony No. 6, Pathétique PROGRAM #: RELEASE: LAP 14-07 May 13, 2014 CONDUCTOR: Gustavo Dudamel Corigliano: Brahms: Symphony No. 1 Symphony No. 2 PROGRAM #: RELEASE: LAP 14-08 May 20, 2014 CONDUCTOR: SOLOIST: Charles Dutoit Jean-Yves Thibaudet, piano Beethoven: Ravel: Piano Concerto No. 5 Daphnis and Chloé PROGRAM #: RELEASE: LAP 14-09 May 27, 2014 CONDUCTOR: SOLOIST: James Conlon Garrick Ohlsson, piano Schulhoff: Mozart: Brahms: PROGRAM #: Scherzo from Symphony No. 5 Piano Concerto No. 21 Symphony No. 1 LAP 14-10 88 RELEASE: June 3, 2014 CONDUCTOR: SOLOIST: John Adams Cameron Carpenter, organ Gordon: Riley: Adams: Sunshine of Your Love At the Royal Majestic Naïve and Sentimental Music PROGRAM #: RELEASE: LAP 14-11 June 10, 2014 CONDUCTOR: SOLOIST: Gustavo Dudamel Emanuel Ax, piano Brahms: Norman: Brahms: Academic Festival Overture new work Piano Concerto No. 2 PROGRAM #: RELEASE: LAP 14-12 June 17, 2014 CONDUCTOR: SOLOIST: Gustavo Dudamel Lang Lang, piano Ravel: Prokofiev: Desenne: Ravel: Valses nobles et sentimentales Piano Concerto No. 3 Sinfonía Burocratica ed’ Amazzonica La valse PROGRAM #: RELEASE: LAP 14-13 June 24, 2014 CONDUCTOR: SOLOIST: Gustavo Dudamel Hélène Grimaud, piano Mozart: Ravel: Mozart: Serenata Notturna Piano Concerto in G Symphony No. 36, Linz 89 LOS ANGELES PHILHARMONIC Biography GUSTAVO DUDAMEL – Conductor and Music Director Walt and Lilly Disney Chair Conductor Gustavo Dudamel’s passionate music-making continues to inspire audiences of all ages worldwide. Currently serving as music director of both the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela and the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the impact of his musical leadership is felt on four continents. While his commitment to these posts accounts for the major portion of his yearly schedule, Dudamel also guest conducts with some of the world’s greatest musical institutions. This season he returns to the Vienna and Berlin Philharmonics, and tours with La Scala in opera and concert to Japan. Additional guest appearances include the New York Philharmonic, Munich Philharmonic, Philharmonia Orchestra London, Bamberg Symphony, Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, and Gothenburg Symphony, where he is Honorary Conductor. Gustavo Dudamel is in his fifth season as Music Director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, where his contract has already been extended through 2018-19, the orchestra’s 100th season. An exclusive Deutsche Grammophon artist since 2005, Grammy winner Gustavo Dudamel has numerous recordings on the label, as well as many video/DVD releases which capture the excitement of significant moments in his musical life. Gustavo Dudamel is one of the most decorated conductors of his generation, examples of which include Musical America’s 2013 Musician of the Year, 2013 Gramophone Hall of Fame, 2010 Eugene McDermott Award in the Arts at MIT, 2009 l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres as a Chevalier and one of Time Magazine’s 100 most influential people, 2008 “Q Prize” from Harvard, along with several honorary doctorates. Gustavo Dudamel was born in 1981 in Barquisimeto, Venezuela, with his early musical and mentoring experiences molding his commitment to music as an engine for social change – a lifelong passion. In 2012, Gustavo and Eloísa Dudamel launched The Dudamel Foundation, which is dedicated to furthering music education and social justice around the world. 90 PROGRAM: MAD ABOUT MUSIC with Gilbert Kaplan Code: Genre: Length: Frequency: Delivery Type: Air Window: MAD14 Music, Classical, Talk, Interview 58:30 minutes 52 weeks PRX, File Transfer and CD April 1, 2014 – March 31, 2015 Executive Producer/Host: Producers: Gilbert Kaplan Heidi Bryson and Marcela Silva Contact Information: Estlin Usher: 773-279-2112, [email protected] David Sims: 773-279-2027, [email protected] Tony Macaluso: 773-279-2114, [email protected] This series is available free of charge to all affiliate stations for one broadcast through March 31, 2015.

I was the assistant to Claudio Abbado for one season when he was music director here. Then there was this long gap. And then I conducted again: I stepped in, without any rehearsal, doing Tristan. And, you know, of course with rehearsals I would have done certain things differently. But the excitement of that night, I will never forget – and also it seems that the audience and the orchestra has not forgotten that. Wagner: Schubert: Verdi: J.

I played the solo, “The trumpet shall sound,” and I had played it in rehearsal that morning and I got it perfectly. And then [in the concert] came the 94 moment when I stood up to play the solo for “The trumpet shall sound” and I got half way through it and I blew up. My lip went. I just sagged.

My history with Leonard Bernstein really goes back to Australia where I was born.

This three-act opera is based on Edmond Rostand’s celebrated stage drama of 1897, Cyrano de Bergerac, a romantic tragedy. Cyrano de Bergerac, Rostand’s most popular play, blends nostalgia for 17th century French life with swashbuckling heroism, romance, and lyrical verse. Cyrano, a nobleman with a larger-thanlife personality, skilled in both the sword and the pen, is physically plain with a rather large nose. Despite his overwhelming love for the beautiful Roxane, Cyrano agrees to help his younger rival, the handsome Christian, to win her heart. From the renowned balcony scene to the moving climax, the triumph of the spiritual over the corporeal is ultimately achieved. Cyrano, similar to Don Quixote and Don Juan, has become one of the world’s most enduring and popular literary figures. Composer Dr. David DiChiera is the founding general director of Michigan Opera Theatre in Detroit, Michigan, and founding general director (1986-1996) of Opera Pacific in Orange County, California. Both are among the top professional opera companies in the United States. He is the only general director in the nation to have founded and led two important companies in what was a unique and precedent-setting arts collaboration. As a composer, David DiChiera’s music continues to receive critical acclaim. His Four Sonnets, with verses by Edna St. Vincent Millay composed for soprano and piano, premiered at the Kennedy Center in Washington, the work “beautifully crafted and warmly expressive of the poetry.” Paul Hume of the Washington Post called DiChiera “a composer with great sensitivity and keen awareness of the beauties for 101 the voice.” A children’s opera, Rumpelstiltskin, written in collaboration with Karen VanderKloot DiChiera, has been performed nationally. In 2007, DiChiera realized yet another dream as his new opera, Cyrano, received its highly anticipated world premiere at the Detroit Opera House. Cyrano, composed by DiChiera, to a libretto by Bernard Uzan, will also be presented by Florida Grand Opera and Opera Company of Philadelphia. 102 Michigan Opera Theater Presents Cyrano Broadcast Schedule — Fall 2014 PROGRAM #: RELEASE: MOT 14-01 November 1, 2014 OPERA: COMPOSER: LIBRETTO: Cyrano David DiChiera Bernard Uzan CAST: Cyrano Roxane Christian De Guiche Lignière Le Bret Carbon The Duenna Ragueneau Capucin Marquis de Cuigy Marquis de Brisaille An Informer Montefleury Marian Pop Leah Partridge Jose Luis Sola Peter Volpe Alain Coulombe Gaetan Laperriere Daniel Okulitch Gloria Parker Eric Johnston Torrance Blaisdell Torrance Blaisdell Matthew Hayward Daniel Okulitch Jason Budd CONDUCTOR: ORCHESTRA: CHORUS: CHORUS MASTER: Mark Flint Michigan Opera Theater Orchestra Michigan Opera Theater Chorus Suzanne Mallare Acton Approx.

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 98.7 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, Mike Nichols, (then a WFMT announcer and now 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 Bill Cosby, Bob Newhart and Mitchell & Webb. Material 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 104 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 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 International Folk Alliance Conference in 2008. A photograph of Rich Warren is available upon request, and a yearly fund-raising program is also available. 105 PROGRAM: MILLENNIUM OF MUSIC Code: Genre: Length: Frequency: Delivery Type: Optional Breaks: Air Window: MOM14 Classical, Music, Early Music 59 minutes 52 weeks PRX, File Transfer and CD Two December 31, 2013 – December 30, 2014 Producer/Host: Underwriter: Robert Aubry Davis Radio Netherlands Contact Information: Estlin Usher: 773-279-2112, [email protected] David Sims: 773-279-2027, [email protected] Tony Macaluso: 773-279-2114, [email protected] This series is available free of charge to all affiliate stations for one broadcast through December 30, 2014. 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. 106 MILLENNIUM OF MUSIC Broadcast Schedule — 2014 Notes by Robert Aubry Davis.

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. 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 113 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. 114 MILWAUKEE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA Broadcast Schedule — Summer 2014 These programs are subject to change PROGRAM #: RELEASE: MSO 14-01 July 1, 2014 CONDUCTOR: SOLOIST: Roberto Abbado Augustin Hadelich, violin; Milwaukee Symphony Chorus; Lee Erickson, director Stravinsky: Ravel: Concerto in D major for Violin and Orchestra Daphnis et Chloé PROGRAM #: RELEASE: MSO 14-02 July 8, 2014 CONDUCTOR: SOLOISTS: Asher Fisch Todd Levy, clarinet Wagner: Mozart: Bartók: Overture to Der fliegende Holländer [The Flying Dutchman] Concerto in A major for Clarinet and Orchestra, K. 622 Concerto for Orchestra PROGRAM #: RELEASE: MSO 14-03 July 15, 2014 CONDUCTOR: SOLOIST: Edo de Waart Ingrid Fliter, piano Ippolito: Chopin: Brahms: Nocturne, for Orchestra Concerto No. 2 in F minor for Piano and Orchestra, Op. 21 Symphony No. 2 in D major, Op. 73 PROGRAM #: RELEASE: MSO 14-04 July 22, 2014 CONDUCTOR: SOLOIST: Bach: Berg: Brahms: Edo de Waart Jennifer Koh, violin Ricercare No. 2 from Musical Offering, BWV 1079 (orch.

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. 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 118 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. 119 THE NEW YORK PHILHARMONIC THIS WEEK Broadcast Schedule — Fall 2014 These programs are subject to change.

The WFMT Radio Network continues our 2014 American Opera Series with San Francisco Opera – eight operas from their past season and two operas from the San Francisco Opera archives. Performed in the War Memorial Opera House, San Francisco Opera’s home since October 1932, these operas will enhance the Network’s opera offerings during the hiatus of the Metropolitan Opera. This year’s series will include Wagner’s The Flying Dutchman, Rossini’s The Barber of Seville, Puccini’s Tosca, and many more! The second largest opera company in North America, San Francisco Opera was founded by Gaetano Merola in 1923. The company’s first performance (La Bohème) took place on September 26, 1923 in the city’s Civic Auditorium, with Queena Mario and Giovanni Martinelli and conducted by Gaetano Merola himself. Nine years later, the company moved into its permanent home, inaugurating the newly built War Memorial Opera House with a performance of Tosca on October 15, 1932 with Claudia Muzio, Dino Borgioli, Alfredo Gandolfi, and conducted by Merola. Following Gaetano Merola’s death in 1953, San Francisco Opera was led by Kurt Herbert Adler until 1981; by Terence A. McEwen until 1988; by Lotfi Mansouri until 2001; and by Pamela Rosenberg until 2006. For the past seven years, the company has been under the exciting direction of David Gockley. San Francisco Opera has presented the United States debut performances of numerous artists, including Inge Borkh, Boris Christoff, Marie Collier, Sir Geraint Evans, Mafalda Favero, Tito 129 Gobbi, Sena Jurinac, Mario del Monaco, Birgit Nilsson, Leontyne Price, Margaret Price, Leonie Rysanek, Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, Giulietta Simionato, Renata Tebaldi, and Ingvar Wixell; conductors Gerd Albrecht, Valery Gergiev, Sir Georg Solti, and Silvio Varviso; and directors Francis Ford Coppola, Harry Kupfer, and Jean-Pierre Ponnelle. 130 SAN FRANCISCO OPERA Broadcast Schedule — Summer/Fall 2014 PROGRAM #: RELEASE: SFO 14-01 August 23, 2014 OPERA: COMPOSER: Mefistofele (in Italian) Arrigo Boito CAST: Mefistofele Faust Wagner Adam Eve Margherita Marta Elena Pantalis Nereo Ildar Abdrazakov Ramon Vargas Chuanyue Wang Luke Lazzaro Brook Broughton Patricia Racette Erin Johnson Patricia Racette Renee Rapier Chuanyue Wang CONDUCTOR: STAGE DIRECTOR: Nicola Luisotti Laurie Feldman San Francisco Opera Orchestra and Chorus CHORUS DIRECTOR: Ian Robertson Approx Length: 2 hours 30 minutes PROGRAM #: RELEASE: SFO 14-02 August 30, 2014 OPERA: COMPOSER: Tosca (in Italian) Giacomo Puccini CAST: Cesare Angelotti Sacristan Mario Cavaradossi Floria Tosca Baron Scarpia Spoletta Sciarrone Shepherd boy Jailer Christian Van Horn Dale Travis Brian Jagde Patricia Racette Mark Delavan Joel Sorensen Ao Li Ryan Nelson-Flack Ryan Kuster 131 CONDUCTOR: STAGE DIRECTOR: Nicola Luisotti Jose Maria Condemi San Francisco Opera Orchestra and Chorus CHORUS DIRECTOR: Ian Robertson Approx Length: 2 hours 15 minutes PROGRAM #: RELEASE: SFO 14-03 September 6, 2014 OPERA: COMPOSER: Der Fliegende Holländer (in German) Richard Wagner CAST: Senta Mary Erik The Steersman Daland The Dutchman Lise Lindstrom Erin Johnson Ian Storey A.J.

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 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. 138 “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. The SFS is also delivering multimedia content designed to make classical music accessible to people of all ages and backgrounds – Keeping Score can be experienced on PBS-TV, DVD, the Internet (keepingscore.org), and radio (The MTT Files), also available from The WFMT Radio Network. Call Tony at (773) 279-2114. “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.” — The Toronto Star 139 SAN FRANCISCO SYMPHONY Broadcast Schedule — Spring/Summer 2014 PROGRAM #: RELEASE: SFS 14-01 March 24, 2014 CONDUCTOR: SOLOIST: Semyon Bychkov Pinchas Zukerman, violin Wagner Bruch Tchaikovsky Encore: Kissine: Overture to Tannhäuser (Dresden version) Violin Concerto No. 1 in G Minor, Op. 26 Symphony No. 5 in E Minor, Op. 64 Post-scriptum (Michael Tilson Thomas, conductor) PROGRAM #: RELEASE: SFS 14-02 March 31, 2014 CONDUCTOR: Semyon Bychkov Schubert: Shostakovich: Encore: Stravinsky: Symphony in B Minor, D.759, Unfinished Symphony No. 11 in G Minor, Op. 105, The Year 1905 PROGRAM #: RELEASE: SFS 14-03 April 7, 2014 CONDUCTOR: SOLOIST: Michael Tilson Thomas Samuel Carl Adams, electronica Symphony in Three Movements (Michael Tilson Thomas, conductor) Samuel Carl Adams: Drift and Providence Mahler: Symphony No. 5 in C-Sharp Minor Encore: Copland: Music from the film, Our Town (Michael Tilson Thomas, conductor) PROGRAM #: RELEASE: SFS 14-04 April 14, 2014 CONDUCTOR: SOLOIST: Vasily Petrenko Jean-Efflam Bavouzet, piano Arvo Pärt: Bartók: Fratres Piano Concerto No. 3 in E Major 140 Respighi: Respighi: Encore: Shostakovich: Fountains of Rome (Fontane di Roma) Pines of Rome (Pini di Roma) PROGRAM #: RELEASE: SFS 14-05 April 21, 2014 CONDUCTOR: SOLOIST: András Schiff András Schiff, piano Mendelssohn: Bach: Bach: Mendelssohn: Encore: Mozart: Fingal’s Cave Overture, Op. 26 Keyboard Concerto No. 2 in E Major, BWV 1053 Keyboard Concerto No. 1 in D Minor, BWV 1052 Symphony No. 4 in A Major, Op. 90, Italian Symphony No. 34 in C Major, K.338 (Michael Tilson Thomas, conductor) PROGRAM #: RELEASE: SFS 14-06 April 28, 2014 CONDUCTOR: SOLOIST: Asher Fisch David Fray, piano Wagner: Mozart: Brahms: Encore: Haydn: Prelude to Act I of Lohengrin Piano Concerto No. 22 in E-Flat Major, K.482 Symphony No. 4 in E Minor, Op. 98 Symphony No. 9 in E-Flat Major, Op. 70 (Michael Tilson Thomas, conductor) Symphony No. 60 in C Major, Il distratto (Michael Tilson Thomas, conductor) PROGRAM #: RELEASE: SFS 14-07 May 5, 2014 CONDUCTOR: SOLOIST: Michael Tilson Thomas Lang Lang, piano Cowell: Prokofiev: Rachmaninoff: Encore: Brahms: Music 1957 Piano Concerto No. 3 in C Major, Op. 26 Symphony No. 2 in E Minor, Op. 27 PROGRAM #: SFS 14-08 Academic Festival Overture, Op. 80 (Michael Tilson Thomas, conductor) 141 RELEASE: May 12, 2014 CONDUCTOR: SOLOIST: Michael Tilson Thomas Yefim Bronfman, piano R.

Now in its ninth 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 2014 Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival radio series features performances recorded in 2013 in Santa Fe, New Mexico during this celebrated music festival's 41th 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. 148 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.

In Week 5, Mr. Ohlsson joins a Festival ensemble for the Sextet for Piano and Winds in B-flat Major, Op. 6 by Ludwig Thuille. • Internationally celebrated conductor Lawrence Foster leads a chamber orchestra of Festival musicians in two vocal works.

The Aspen Music Festival and School recently celebrated the 20th anniversary of its intimate recital venue, the Joan and Irving Harris Concert Hall. In this one-hour musical profile, the WFMT Radio Network presents selections from their gala concert recorded in August 2013. In 1949, Elizabeth and Walter Paepcke produced the Goethe Bicentennial Convocation and Music Festival in Aspen, Colorado, planting the seeds for a musical life that still flourishes today. Since its earliest days, one of the signature experiences at the Aspen Music Festival has been to attend concerts at the big music tent, sitting outdoors listening to sublime music while also hearing the rustling of aspen trees and the calls of magpies, as well as the occasional barking dog, passing airplane or thunderstorm. As the Festival matured into its fourth decade, it became clear that the time had come for a more intimate, acoustically superior home where audiences and musicians could enjoy chamber music and more. Since opening its doors in 1993, the Joan and Irving Harris Concert Hall has provided the AMFS with a state-of-the-art, 500-seat jewel box facility for year-round concerts, master classes and recording projects. Aspen architect Harry Teague provided the design, and twenty years on, Harris Hall is poised to continue as a premier venue for decades to come. The Aspen Music Festival and School is an international destination for classical musicians, music students, and music lovers, presenting over 300 musical events during its eight-week summer season, and drawing top classical musicians from around the world for an unparalleled combination of performances and music education. 162 In August 2013, the Festival celebrated the 20th anniversary of Harris Hall with a special concert featuring AMFS students, alumni and artist faculty, including violinist Robert McDuffie, guitarist Sharon Isbin, and conductor Joshua Weilerstein. This one-hour profile is filled with great music from that event, sounds which echo the repertoire of the 1993 inaugural gala concert and reflect the composers’ and performers’ experiences at the Aspen Music Festival and School. Joan Tower – The Fifth Fanfare for the Uncommon Woman (1993) Conrad Jones, Scott Batchelder, Alec Blazek, John Parker, trumpets; Joshua Weilerstein, conductor Joan Tower wrote the Fifth Fanfare for the Uncommon Woman in 1993 on a commission from the Aspen Music Festival for the opening of the Joan and Irving Harris Concert Hall, and dedicated it to Joan Harris. John Corigliano – Troubadours, Variations for Guitar And Chamber Orchestra (1993) Sharon Isbin, guitar; Festival Ensemble ; Joshua Weilerstein, conductor 2013 marked the 20th anniversary of Troubadours, which John Corigliano composed especially for guitarist Sharon Isbin, both of whom have spent alpine summers at the AMFS. Sharon Isbin performs with an ensemble of Festival musicians, under the direction of alum Joshua Weilerstein. Vivaldi – Movement III from Concerto For Three Violins In F Major, Rv 551 (1711) Robert McDuffie, Jessica Fellows, and Jecoliah Wang, violins; Festival Ensemble. When alumnus and longtime artist-faculty member Robert McDuffie organized Harris Concert Hall's 20th anniversary concert, he did so with a "tip of the hat" to the Hall's gala opening back in 1993, and by reprising a Vivaldi triple concerto heard that night. He also tapped into the Aspen Music Festival experience by sharing the stage with some talented young Festival players, Jessica Fellows and Jecoliah Wang, who also study with him at the Robert McDuffie Center for Strings at Mercer University. Philip Glass – Movement IV from Violin Concerto No. 2, 'American Four Seasons' (2009) Robert McDuffie, violin; Festival Ensemble Violinist Robert McDuffie and composer Philip Glass both studied at Aspen, although some years apart. When McDuffie envisioned a violin concerto that would serve as a companion piece to the Vivaldi “Four Seasons” concertos, he turned to Glass, encouraging the composer to stay true to his own musical language. Robert McDuffie premiered American Four Seasons in 2009, with the Music Festival participating in the co-commission, and is the soloist in this energetic performance. WFMT's Kerry Frumkin hosts the program with commentary by many of the principals involved, including composer Joan Tower, guitarist Sharon Isbin, violinist Robert McDuffie, AMFS president Alan Fletcher, Joan Harris, and others. 163 PROGRAM: THE BORUSAN ISTANBUL PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA: SCHEHERAZADE AND OTHER MUSICAL TALES Code: Genre: Length: Frequency: Delivery Type: Optional Breaks: Air Window: BIP14 Music, Classical, Orchestral, Documentary 59 minutes Special PRX, File Transfer and CD One September 1, 2014 – August 31, 2015 Host: Producer: Lisa Flynn Louise Frank Contact Information: Estlin Usher: 773-279-2112, [email protected] David Sims: 773-279-2027, [email protected] Tony Macaluso: 773-279-2114,[email protected] This special is available free of charge to all affiliate stations for one broadcast through June 30, 2015. The WFMT Radio Network invites your listeners to Turkey and the shores of the Bosphorus for Scheherazade and Other Musical Tales from the Borusan Istanbul Philharmonic Orchestra. This one-hour, music-based profile includes selections from the Borusan Istanbul Philharmonic Orchestra's latest CD, their third collaboration with the bespoke classical label ONYX Classics, along with commentary from many of the principals involved. "We're coming together here to create an orchestra from Turkey with an international voice. Being in Istanbul we can say it's like building a bridge, not over the Bosphorus but musically, building it to Western Europe, the U.S. and abroad." — Sascha Goertzel, Music and Artistic Director, Borusan Istanbul Philharmonic Orchestra "What Sascha Goetzel was keen to do is to bring out of these incredibly talented musicians the music from Turkey and its region, and to bring some of that color and passion to their playing of western classical music. So there is a unique sound here, and they're on a fascinating journey through the area, through legends, and with some regional instruments as well adding a bit of color." — Matthew Cosgrove, General Manager, ONYX Classics 164 "When you think of classical music you never think about Turkey! We are new, but we have something to say and we have something to show. This is another culture combining with ours and the end result is something magical!” — Zeynep Hamedi, Chairperson, Borusan Culture and Arts Since its founding in 1999, the Borusan Istanbul Philharmonic Orchestra has established itself as a world-class symphony orchestra with a unique voice. The new album finds the ensemble exploring the eastern musical roots of late 19th and early 20th-century Europe, as well as elements from the eastern side of the Bosphorus which influenced the western cultural background of many composers. Musical selections from this special include: Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov Mily Alexeyevich Balakirev Mikhail Ippolitov-Ivonov Ulvi Cemal Erkin Scheherazade Islamey Caucasian Sketches Köçekçe, Dance Rhapsody for Orchestra A stunning tour de force of the sort now expected from this remarkable orchestra under their charismatic music director, Sascha Goetzel, the new album includes Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's masterpiece Scheherazade and Mikhail Ippolitov-Ivanov's atmospheric Caucasian Sketches. Both composers had intimate knowledge of the Arabic instruments of the Caucasus, Turkey and the Middle East, and successfully emulated those instruments and sounds in their music. By using original instruments from those regions, Sascha Goetzel and the Borusan Istanbul Philharmonic Orchestra have created musical imagery which is closer to that which the composers had in mind when creating music for western-style orchestras. Throughout Scheherazade you will hear different traditional Turkish and Arabian percussion instruments: the Oud, Ney, Darbuka, Def, Bendir, Kudüm as well as oriental triangles and cymbals supporting Rimsky-Korsakov's “kaleidoscope of fairy-tale images. “Sergei Lyapunov's lively orchestration of Mily Alexeyevich Balakirev's Oriental fantasy Islamey, and the sparkling Köçekçe by Turkish composer Ulvi Cemal Erkin, complete an exotic journey through the countryside, folklore and sound world of Turkey and her neighboring regions. About the Borusan Istanbul Philharmonic Orchestra The Borusan Istanbul Philharmonic Orchestra (BIPO) began as the Borusan Chamber Orchestra, one of the first ventures in the field of culture and the arts by Borusan Holding, a leading industrial conglomerate in Turkey.

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 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. 175 This documentary has been made with the generous financial assistance of Northwestern University. 176
