Multi-instrumentalist Christopher Burrus is the new announcer and board operator for WFIU’s Saturday Metropolitan Opera broadcasts. Christopher has experienced opera both as a researcher and a performer. “During college, I performed in the pit orchestra for several works,” he recalls, “including The Magic Flute and Hansel and Gretel, and I wrote a thesis on audience reception history of Don Giovanni.” As a graduate student at the IU Jacobs School, Christopher continues to study and write about opera, and he’s written the program notes for IU’s current production of Così fan tutte. Christopher performs on violin, mandolin, banjo, tenor banjo, and viola da gamba. His interest in folk traditions and obscure musical instruments led him to learn an instrument one doesn’t see much these days. “I’ve recently become obsessed with the hurdy-gurdy and all dance music associated with it.” He plays the hurdy-gurdy for IU’s Historical Performance Institute and the chamber folk group Willoughby Sprig, which he co-founded with his twin brother Nicholas. He writes much of the music for the group, finding inspiration, he says, “in old bridges, fine ships, hootenannies, tweed, and phantoms.” Listen to the Met Opera on WFIU Saturdays from 1 to 5 p.m.
Columbus Rejoins Ask the Mayor The latest round of local elections in Indiana means a new rotation of four guests each month on Ask the Mayor, WFIU’s weekly conversation with Joe Hren of WFIU-WTIU News. It airs on Wednesdays during WFIU’s newsmagazines, and occasionally on Friday during WTIU’s Indiana Newsdesk. The new lineup of mayors began in January with Terre Haute Mayor Duke Bennett, who is beginning his third term. The following week marked the Ask the Mayor debut of John Hamilton, who recently took the helm in Bloomington’s city hall. Next week was Kokomo’s turn, as Joe Hren spoke with Greg Goodnight, whose third term as mayor is just underway. During the first week of February we’re pleased to announce the return of Columbus to Ask the Mayor, as Joe speaks for the first time with incoming mayor Jim Lienhoop. Columbus rejoins the rotation after a four-year absence. During that time, its space was filled by monthly conversations with Greencastle Mayor Sue Murray. The WFIU-WTIU Newsroom plans to visit Greencastle’s new mayor, William Dory, throughout the year. Stay tuned!

February Benefits of the Month:
Revisit the turbulent 1960s, when a new revolutionary culture emerged with the Black Panther Party at the vanguard. Change was coming to America in the ’60s and the fault lines could no longer be ignored— cities were burning, Vietnam was exploding, and disputes raged over equality and civil rights. A new revolutionary culture was emerging and it sought to drastically transform the system. The Black Panther Party for Self-Defense would, for a short time, put itself at the vanguard of that change. The Black Panthers: Vanguard of The Revolution is the first feature-length documentary to explore the Black Panther Party, its significance to the broader American culture, its cultural and political awakening for black people, and the painful lessons wrought when a movement derails.
Panthers on parade at Free Huey rally in 1968
Directed, produced, and written by master documentarian Stanley Nelson, the film goes straight to the source, weaving a treasure trove of rare archival footage with the voices of the people who were there: police, FBI informants, journalists, white supporters and detractors, and Black Panthers who remained loyal to the party and those who left it. Featuring Kathleen Cleaver, Jamal Joseph, and dozens of others, The Black Panthers: Vanguard of The Revolution is an essential history and a vibrant chronicle of this pivotal movement that gave rise to a new revolutionary culture in America. “Stanley Nelson is one of our greatest chroniclers of American movements for justice and social change,” said Lois Vossen, Independent Lens executive producer. “He brings incendiary, game-changing movements to vivid life in a way that combines clear-eyed analysis with riveting, edge-of-your-seat storytelling.”
If you love WFIU, one way to show it is by creating a Charitable Gift Annuity that supplements your retirement income and leaves something to WFIU as well. If you are not yet ready to retire, a Deferred Charitable Gift Annuity is a good investment. You could set up a deferred gift annuity that will make fixed payments to you up to ten years out. After five years, you might discover you don’t yet need the income payments for your retirement. If so, a Flexible Deferred Gift Annuity will let you choose the earliest date to receive gift annuity payments (e.g., in five years). When you reach that date, you can then choose to delay payments even longer. Example: Carol W. (age 58) owns a small business. Earlier this year, she set up a flexible deferred gift annuity of $20,000. She decided she can wait five years for payments to begin, while her money grows. She can take a charitable deduction based on her gift amount the year she sets up her deferred gift annuity and wait until later to receive annuity payments. After five years, if Carol does not yet need the income stream, she can postpone the payments several more years. The longer she postpones receiving payments, the greater the payments will be under the flexible deferred gift annuity agreement. With bank interest rates so low on savings accounts, it’s a good way to put your money to work for you—and to arrange a charitable gift to the station you trust!
