Says You!, public radio’s long-running game show of bluff and bluster, words and whimsy, is coming to Bloomington. Host-producer Richard Sher and six panelists will record two programs at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater on May 3rd. Sher got the idea for Says You! when playing Trivial Pursuit with friends. “I got the question ‘What do you call the band of low pressure that surrounds the Earth at the equator?’ And I said ‘This is a stupid question. Nobody cares.’ And then I found that the answer was ‘the doldrums.’ And it hit me that if you’re going to invent a game for radio, it’s not important to know the answers. It’s important to like the answers. “That way, you can make that game as hard as you want. What’s important is the reaction, that when you hear the answer you hit your forehead and say, ‘I knew that in eighth grade. How could I have forgotten that?’ That’s the kind of reaction we like to have on the program.” Sher recalls how Says You! started in Boston in front of an audience of 70 people who watched while eating a catered brunch and sipping mimosas. The show became so popular that waiting lists for tickets stretched to four years. Moving the show to a larger theater changed the show’s dynamic. “When the audience got bigger, the feedback became palpable. And so our reactions changed.” Sher gets questions for Says You! from a variety of sources including the Oxford English Dictionary. But when asked to elaborate, his voice drops to low register as if he were discussing state secrets. “We never reveal our sources. Because the whole point of the show is to drive people to reference material, to say ‘Hey, look it up.’ That, to me, is success.” Says You! panelists play without any prior knowledge of the questions. Sher won’t even allow people into his home study, lest they see one of his reference books open to a page with a question. “We play hardball on Says You!” he says with a laugh. “It’s more exciting. But if you keep it in a fun spirit, you’re not making anybody look bad.” Through the years, Sher has kept to his original idea of giving listeners a feeling of being entertained by their friends in a living room. “In 18 years we’ve never told a political joke on the air. You can get that anywhere. What we want is a conversation that’s gentle, warm-hearted, and basically kind.” To learn more about tickets and a VIP package that includes special seating and a pre-show Meet and Greet with Says You! personalities at FARMbloomington, visit wfiu.org/ about/says or call Nancy Krueger at 812-855-2935.

WFIU’s featured artist for the month of April is jazz guitarist, composer, and educator Dave Stryker. Born in Omaha, Nebraska, Dave Stryker moved to New York City in 1980 where he was ushered into the jazz scene by some of the genre’s most illustrious performers. Stryker had his first big break in 1984 when he was asked to tour with late Hammond B-3 organist Brother Jack McDuff. Two years later he met saxophonist Stanley Turrentine and spent the next decade performing at major festivals, concert halls, and clubs throughout the world as part of Turrentine’s quintet. Over the years Stryker has performed alongside such legendary jazz and blues artists as Dizzy Gillespie, Freddie Hubbard, Rick Margitza, Joey DeFrancesco, Randy Brecker, Kevin Mahogany, Victor Lewis, Steve Slagle, and many others. He has recorded and published over 130 of his own compositions and has released over 20 albums as a band leader.
Featured Contemporary Composer WFIU’s featured contemporary composer for the month of April is virtuoso pianist and composer Lera Auerbach. Born in Chelyabinsk, Russia, near the Siberian border, Auerbach made her debut as a pianist with an orchestra at the age of eight. By twelve, she had composed her first opera. While on a concert tour of America in 1991, she made the decision to defect to the West. She enrolled at the Juilliard School in New York and continued her studies in piano with Joseph Kalichstein and composition with Milton Babbitt and Robert Beaser. Auerbach’s published oeuvre includes more than 90 works of opera, ballet, symphonic, and chamber music. Her works have been commissioned and performed by a wide array of artists, orchestras, choruses, and ballet companies including David Finckel and Wu Han, the New York Philharmonic, Tokyo Philharmonic, Staatskapelle Dresden, St. Thomas Boys Choir in New York,
Described by Village Voice music critic Gary Giddins as “one of the most distinctive guitarists to come along in recent years,” Stryker has been listed as a Rising Star for the last five years in the Downbeat Critics Poll. His 2011 album Blue Strike made many “Best of 2011” lists, including those by WBGO Jazz Radio in Newark, and New England Public Radio. Stryker’s currently performs with The Stryker/Slagle Band, The Dave Stryker Organ Trio, and The Blue to the Bone Band. He has recently performed at Dizzy’s Club Coca Cola, Jazz at Lincoln Center, the Monterey Jazz Festival, The Blue Note in Las Vegas, The Jazz Bakery in Los Angeles, Carnegie Hall, and has given tours throughout Europe, Japan, Brazil, and Poland. On Stryker’s most recent album Eight Track, the guitarist puts his own spin on classic 1970s hits including Curtis Mayfield’s Pusherman/Superfly, The Spinners’ I’ll Be Around, Pink Floyd’s Money, and Aquarius from the musical Hair. The album features members of Stryker’s organ trio along with special guest Stefon Harris on vibraphone.
Vienna’s Arnold Schoenberg Choir, and the Royal Danish Ballet. Major recent commissions have included her String Quartet No. 6, commissioned by the Tokyo String Quartet for their farewell tour, a string sextet commissioned by the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, and a concerto for the Rascher Saxophone Quartet and women’s choir. Set to her own libretto, her three-act opera Gogol was commissioned by Vienna’s Theater an der Wien. A recent career highlight is the success of her full-length ballet The Little Mermaid. Winner of the 2012 ECHO Klassik award, the work has received over 150 performances. Its production by the

Dave Stryker
Dedicated to fostering the next generation of jazz artists, Stryker is an adjunct lecturer in jazz guitar at the IU Jacobs School of Music. He serves as an adjunct professor at The Cali School for the Arts at Montclair State University and regularly teaches at the Aebersold Summer Jazz Workshop, the Litchfield Jazz Fest Camp, and The Veneto/New School Workshop in Italy. WFIU will feature performances by Dave Stryker in our jazz music programming throughout the month of April. San Francisco Ballet was featured as part of the 2011 PBS Arts Fall Festival. Auerbach has been composer-inresidence at various international music festivals, including the Marlboro Music Festival, Verbier Festival, Musikfest Bremen, the Pacific Music Festival, Kammermusikfest Lockenhaus, and Les Museiques Festival. She has also been the composer-in-residence with the Orchestra Ensemble Kanazawa in Japan, the Staatskapelle Dresden, and the São Paolo Symphony Orchestra. As a solo pianist, Lera Auerbach has performed at the Bolshoi Saal of Moscow Conservatory, Tokyo’s Opera City, New York’s Lincoln Center, Munich’s Herkulessaal, Oslo’s Konzerthaus, Chicago’s Symphony Hall, and Washington’s Kennedy Center. In May 2002, she made her Carnegie Hall debut performing her own Suite for Violin, Piano and Orchestra with Gidon Kremer and the Kremerata Baltica. In 2005 she was awarded the prestigious Hindemith Prize by the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival in Germany. WFIU will feature music of Lera Auerbach in our classical music programming throughout the month of April.

March 31–April 6 Attracting Opposites: New Music for Piano Trio (Azica ACD-72181) Rawlins Piano Trio The Rawlins Piano Trio is a group of performers, teachers, and scholars that distinguishes itself in arts outreach, master classes, and performances in a variety of venues. Their diverse repertoire ranges from the standard works to new and undiscovered pieces deserving to be brought into the limelight. On this recording they perform five newlycommissioned works from American composers Emma Lou Diemer, James Lentini, Timothy Hoekman, Miguel RoigFrancoli, and Stephen Yarbrough. As the title suggests, this program is a study in the contrasts of the music of these five living composers. April 7–13 New Year’s Concert 2014 (Sony Classical 88843015642) Vienna Philharmonic Daniel Barenboim, conductor The New Year’s Concert live from Vienna is one of the world’s most famous and spectacular classical music events and has been for over 70 years, broadcast on TV and radio (including WFIU) in almost 80 countries around the world, attracting more than 40 million viewers. In 2014 The Vienna Philharmonic invited Daniel Barenboim to conduct the New Year’s concert, revolving around waltzes and polkas by the Strauss

The Russian Orthodox liturgy has been an integral part of the Eastern Slavic identity for more than a thousand years. The sacred music of the ‘‘New Russian Choral School’’ features sublime settings of the liturgy that draw on a rich history of Orthodox chants and native traditions, creating music of unprecedented color and textural richness. Following the lead of Tchaikovsky, composers such as Kastalsky, Gretchaninov, Tchesnokov, Rachmaninov, and a host of others have left us a treasure trove of musical delights. Craig Hella Johnson and the acclaimed Austin, Texas-based choral ensemble Conspirare present a glorious sampling of some of their finest works in this genre. April 21–27 Mozart Concert Arias (Deutsche Grammophon 479 1054) Rolando Villazón, tenor London Symphony Orchestra Antonio Pappano, conductor
Mozart’s condensed music-dramas are well suited to Villazón’s musical and dramatic talents and a sincere expression of his love for perhaps the greatest of all composers for the voice. For this new recording of Mozart’s rarely recorded concert arias, Villazón is joined by the London Symphony Orchestra, conducted by the Music Director of the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, Sir Antonio Pappano. April 28–May 4 Play (Azica ACD-71287) Jason Vieaux, guitar In honor of National Guitar Month (April) and World Guitar Day (May 1st) we present guitar virtuoso Jason Vieaux’s new solo album. Play celebrates his 20th anniversary as a performer by featuring the Spanish, Mexican, South American, Cuban, French, and American classics that Vieaux has found to be universal audience favorites over the past two decades. The music includes showpieces by Barrios, Sagreras, Bustamante, and Sainz De La Maza; Francisco Tárrega’s classics Recuerdos de la Alhambra and Capricho Arabe; and Vieaux’s own in-demand arrangement of Duke Ellington’s “In a Sentimental Mood” and Andrew York’s popular “Sunburst.”
Rolando Villazon’s many bestselling recordings have covered a range of musical styles from his opera roles to the Baroque, Mexican favorites, and popular songs. For his latest solo album, Villazón turns his attention to the concert arias of Mozart. Mozart’s Il re pastore was the first opera Villazón performed while still a student at conservatory, and he has felt a special connection to the composer ever since.

Journalist David Finkel won a Pulitzer Prize as a staff writer at The Washington Post, where he is national enterprise editor. He has reported from the Middle East, Africa, Central America, Europe, and across the United States, covering a wide spectrum of complex topics: the plight of refugees during the conflicts in Kosovo, worldwide patterns of illegal migration, the counterinsurgency campaign in Iraq. His books include The Good Soldiers, a chronicle of the eight months he spent embedded with a U.S. Army infantry battalion in Iraq. He is a senior writerin-residence at the Center for a New American Security, and in 2012 was awarded a MacArthur Fellowship. Owen Johnson reports. April 27 – Pharez Whitted
In this episode, stories of unlikely (and surprisingly simple) answers to seemingly unsolvable problems. We get to know a man who struggles, and mostly fails, to contain his violent outbursts, until he meets a bird who can keep him in check. Then, Oliver Sacks and Chuck Close, who are both face-blind, share workarounds that help them figure out who they’re talking to. And a senior center stumbles upon an unexpected way to help Alzheimer’s patients: by building a bus stop. April 13 23 Weeks 6 Days We spend this entire episode on the story of a couple whose daughter was born at 23 weeks and 6 days, roughly halfway to full term. Their story raises questions that, until recently, no parent had to face—and it contains a universe of questions about the lines between life and death, reflex and will, and the confusing tug of war between two basic moral touchstones: doing no harm, and doing everything in our power to help.

When the human genome was first fully mapped in 2000, Bill Clinton, Craig Venter, and Francis Collins pronounced that “The concept of race has no genetic or scientific basis.” These words were spoken with good intentions, but what do they really mean, and where do they leave us? Our genes are nearly all the same, but that hasn’t made race meaningless, or wiped out our evolving conversation about it. This hour of Radiolab, a look at race. April 27 Placebo Could the best medicine be no medicine at all? Radiolab examines the chemical consequences of belief and imagination by taking stock of the pharmacy in our brains, considering the symbolic power of the doctor coat, and visiting the tent of a self-proclaimed faith healer.

Jazz Notes Live jazz fills the airwaves of WFIU’s weekday afternoon jazz program Just You and Me every Thursday in April as we pay tribute to Jazz Appreciation Month. On April 3, guitarist Matt MacDougall stops by, while on April 10 the Postmodern Jazz Quartet holds court with its brand of classic hardbop. Matt MacDougall Singer Janiece Jaffe is tentatively slated for April 17, and on April 24 guitarist Dave Stryker swings by to play and talk about the IU Jacobs School of Music Jazz Celebration Concert. This year the concert honors noted Indiana jazz artists Hoagy Carmichael, Wes Montgomery, and J.J. Johnson. The month concludes with International Jazz Day on April 30, and Just You and Me will honor the holiday by featuring some of the most notable live performances in the history of jazz. As always, Friday evenings on WFIU are devoted to jazz and popular song. Our 8 p.m. program Afterglow takes a look this month at Ella Fitzgerald’s classic 1957 album Like Someone in Love, the songs of Rodgers and Hart, and Herb Jeffries, who rose to fame in 1930s black cowboy movies and then as a singer for Duke Ellington’s big band. Dick Bishop is sure to give you some songs of the season for the springtime on Standards by Starlight at 9, and Night Lights follows at 10 with shows devoted to jazz interpretations of spirituals, live recordings from the legendary nightclub Birdland, and the late 1940s music of Duke Ellington. As Ellington liked to say, “We love you madly”—thanks so much for your support of jazz on WFIU.

Live from Jacobs: New Music Ensemble This latest installment of live concerts from the IU Jacobs School of Music’s Auer Hall features three premieres of works from young composers. “Emerging Composers” is the title of the live concert airing on Thursday, April 17, at 7 p.m. The works will be performed by IU’s New Music Ensemble under the direction of David Dzubay. The music of doctoral student Erik Ransom, who has been awarded the Georgina Joshi Memorial Composition Prize commission, will be represented with A Prayer in Spring, a work for solo baritone. The World of Tomorrow, by doctoral student Chris Renk, was a Dean’s Prize commission, and Through Cloudy and Cracked Lenses, by Jacobs School alumnus guest composer Kenneth Froelich, will have its first public performance.

working on the National Endowment for the Arts grant project to report on the arts as they relate to Indiana residents with disabilities. Last year she produced a short podcast series for IU’s American Studio Radio that consisted of mini profiles about people and their jobs. These included profiles of a surgical technician, a construction electrician, and an elementary school art teacher. That project for American Studio Radio, along with a previous internship in the WFIU newsroom, cemented her love of public radio journalism. Pollard recently worked on a “transmedia” storytelling project—one that uses multiple formats and platforms to tell a single story—with the Templeton school in Bloomington, where she taught K-6 students to use recording equipment and tell their own stories. She found it challenging to teach elementary school students how to produce pieces for radio. “It was difficult to explain thinking in sound or scenes to a six-year-old. But the

students were incredibly thoughtful and self-reflective in their efforts. They made pieces about the school garden, traditions for graduating sixth graders, and individual learning time.” She’s now bringing the Templeton project to completion, fixing website bugs and polishing language. Pollard grew up in Chicago’s southwest suburbs before college lured her to Bloomington, where she studies broadcast journalism and Eastern European history. She had previously lived in London, working for a radio promotional company, peeking into BBC recording studios, and learning to make the perfect cup of tea. When she’s not taking classes or working at Bloomington Bagel Company, Allyssa can be found hiking the trails at Griffy Lake. Following her graduation in May, she hopes to be part of more multi-platform collaborative projects or documentaries, and will look for a job that continues to let her follow her passions for public radio storytelling.

Help Us Grow Your News Endowment Fund by Nancy Krueger, Gifts and Grants Officer
If you’re a news junkie whose day isn’t complete without NPR News, I encourage you to consider a gift to support Radio-Television’s new News Programming Endowment Fund. Established in late 2012 by a motivated philanthropist and self-described news junkie, this endowment is intended to secure the future of WFIU’s and WTIU’s regional and national news journalism. The Fund’s earnings will help Radio-Television Services purchase, expand, and produce news programming you can only hear and see on public media like WFIU and WTIU, keeping our reporters free from commercial interests and undue influence. The fund will also support the award-winning WFIU/WTIU News Team. The News Department is now a converged newsroom where reporters focus less on the medium and more on the content. Journalists file stories concurrently for radio, television and the Web. The WFIU/WTIU News Room: • is now the largest public media newsroom in the State. • produces seven weekday radio newscasts, two TV newsbreaks, a weekly call-in program, and several online stories each day. • has two dedicated education policy journalists reporting for StateImpact Indiana. • manages the Indiana State House reporter who provides stories to the Indiana Public Broadcasting System. • provides real-world training to 12–20 journalism interns each semester. For more information on how to make a gift to the Radio-TV News Programming Endowment Fund go to wfiu.org/support/endowments and click on the News Programming Fund. Or contact Nancy Krueger, at 812-855-2935 or at nkrueger@ indiana.edu. Page 14 / Directions in Sound / April 2014
