Classical Music on WFIU and WFIU2: Two Additions, Two Subtractions First, the subtractions: Relevant Tones with Seth Boustead is ceasing production after its nearly five-year run. I’m sad to see it go, and we will be searching for a different program that focuses on contemporary music. In the meantime, WFIU is committed to presenting contemporary music from time to time in our local music programs, and there is a healthy dose of contemporary music on our other national music programs like Performance Today, Exploring Music, and many others. You can hear Classical Music with Peter Van de Graaff Tuesday evenings beginning at 10 p.m. in place of Relevant Tones starting on January 1. Sounds Choral’s longtime host (and IU alum) Marjorie Herman stepped down from hosting the program several months ago. The program has continued, but inconsistent rotating casts of hosts and a large amount of re-run programs have led the program to drop below WFIU’s standards of high-quality music programming. As a result, we will cease airing the program, and replace it with The Score (which currently airs Sunday nights at 10 p.m.). We think The Score will be a fun encore after Ether Game, WFIU’s live music trivia show. You can hear The Score Tuesday evenings at 9 p.m., also beginning on January 1. You can still hear plenty of choral music in our other music programs, and With Heart and Voice remains in its normal spot at 7 a.m. on Sundays. Now, for the additions! I am thrilled to introduce WFIU’s audience to a friend of mine (and a radio friend of many across the nation), Suzanne Bona. Suzanne is the host of Sunday Baroque, which has been syndicated nationally for 20 years, and is currently heard on 200 stations across the nation. Now it is coming to WFIU2! You can hear it Sundays from 8 a.m. to noon beginning January 6. “The WFIU community is known for its enthusiastic listeners who deeply appreciate and value the arts, and it’s an honor to be joining the program lineup on such a vibrant station,” Bona said. “I’m looking forward to quality weekend time listening to baroque and early music together with you!” WFIU’s Harmonia moves to Sundays at noon, replacing Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center. Harmonia’s move is necessitated by January’s biggest programming news. More than 35 years after having a regular shift on WFIU, Sylvia McNair is back! Sylvia will be hosting a new three-hour program of classical music on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on WFIU2. To accommodate Sylvia, my three-hour block of music on Saturday mornings will move back to 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. That will give WFIU2 listeners six full hours of locally hosted music every Saturday morning, a rarity in public radio and almost unheard of in a market of our size. Thanks for your support, which makes it all possible! As always, your questions or comments about WFIU’s classical music offerings are always welcome. You can reach me at joegoetz@indiana.edu. Happy New Year!

Jazz Notes Well, well, look who’s here—2019, all shiny and new and full of fresh starts, erstwhile resolutions, and hopes for a better budget line and waistline after the excesses of the holiday season. Whatever the new year may bring, you can always count on WFIU to bring you jazz every Monday through Thursday afternoon with Just You And Me. We’ll kick off 2019’s arrival on Tuesday, January 1, with a program featuring the best historical releases of the new year’s sibling 2018, followed on Wednesday and Thursday with highlights from the previous year’s newly-released live recordings and music by Indiana jazz artists. Later in the month, on Monday, January 21, we’ll hear a variety of past and present jazz recordings in honor of MLK Day.
Jo Stafford
For our Friday-evening jazz lineup this month, what better way to start a new year than with Afterglow’s “Young At Heart” show on January 4? Host Mark Chilla explores the theme of youth in popular song, and devotes other shows in January to lyricist Lorenz Hart (January 11), vocalist Jo Stafford (January 18), and pianist and singer Blossom Dearie (January 25). Night Lights honors two notable jazz birthdays for the first month of the year, with a centennial salute to pianist and composer Herbie Nichols on January 4, and a 90th-birthday celebration of the music of saxophonist Benny Golson on January 25. Other programs survey singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell’s 1970s jazz era (January 11) and the turbulent year of 1963 (January 18). Also, be sure to tune in for another monthly episode of The Uncle Dan and Sophie Jam on Friday, January 18 at 7 p.m. The program will re-air on Just You And Me the following Thursday, January 24, as well. A happy, jazzy 2019 to all!

27 Sunday 1:00 PM FOLKTALES Folktale of Promises “Broken vows are like broken mirrors. They leave those who held to them bleeding and staring at fractured
images of themselves.” That’s author, Richard Paul Evans’ way of thinking, and it forms the thought we’re tracking around the musical globe on this week’s show. It’s a universally pressing need to have those assurances, but as you’ll be hearing—giving your word may be easier than keeping it. Cross our hearts & hope to die—you’re gonna love it! 6:00 PM PROFILES D.J.

Just about everyone knows the song “Row, row, row your boat.” It has a very simple melody and words, and it is fun to sing as a round, with a new voice starting the song every time the previous voice gets to a certain word. European music of the renaissance had loads of rounds, some very simple like that, others incredibly complex. 10:00 PM FIESTA! The Sound and the Fury Latin American classical music is full of passionate and emotional music. Host Elbio Barilari shares some of his most favorite composers who aren’t afraid to show the passion of their music. Included on this program are Claudio Santoro, Mario Lavista, and Alberto Ginastera.

A New Year Makeover for Your Estate Plan Along with your New Year’s resolution to exercise more, take a few moments to reflect on your current will or estate plan. A good estate plan is like a mirror: it should reflect your values and relationships in their highest, best and most current form. But change is a constant. Millions of Americans experience dramatic changes in their financial assets, living arrangements and other life circumstances. Are you one of them?
Page 10 / January 2019
Each week on Journey Indiana, hosts Ashley Dillard and Brandon Wentz will travel to new destinations across the state to discover the distinctive culture, history, people, and artistry that shape Indiana. Whether it is savoring a delectable treat from the world’s largest chocolate store, strolling through an outdoor sculpture trail, or exploring the history of the first electrically lighted city in the world, Dillard and Wentz will help Hoosiers experience their state like never before on Journey Indiana.
The first episode of Journey Indiana will explore the Hoosier Gym in Knightstown and a high-tech collaboration between Indiana University and the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy. Viewers will also meet a muralist who goes to great heights to celebrate the Hoosier state and a Newburgh couple growing edible flowers—and more—in their backyard.
