The IU Singing Hoosiers Make Their Debut on WFIU This Month Spend your evening listening songs and skits from the group known as Indiana University’s “Ambassadors of Song.” The IU Singing Hoosiers will present its firstever radio show, “Hoosiers Live at Home,” February 28 at 6 p.m. on WFIU. The cancellation of the Singing Hoosiers’ spring and fall concerts due to the COVID-19 pandemic compelled director Chris Albanese to figure out a new way to share live music while keeping in mind the safety of performers and audiences. Inspired by the radio variety series A Prairie Home Companion, he developed the idea for “Hoosiers Live at Home.” The show was recorded asynchronously this fall with the help of students in the audio engineering program at the IU Jacobs School of Music. Groups of six to twelve singers met twice a week for three weeks to rehearse and record a set of three small group numbers and one large group number. The radio program includes classic and contemporary favorites, such as John Prine’s “Angel from Montgomery,” Cole Porter’s “Let’s Do It,” Irving Berlin’s “Steppin’ Out,” and other solos, skits, and narrations. The Grammy-nominated Singing Hoosiers wrapped up their 70th year of performances in 2020. The group carries on traditions of the Great American Songbook while simultaneously exploring contemporary music. In recent years, the group has collaborated with artists such as Zeshan B., Sandi Patty, and Sylvia McNair. The approximately 80-member ensemble is composed of students from all majors across the Indiana University campus.

WFIU’s Friday-evening jazz programs Afterglow and Night Lights will celebrate Black History Month this February with tributes to African American jazz and popular song artists such as composer Billy Strayhorn, vocalists Arthur Prysock, Lou Rawls, and Lorez Alexandria, saxophonist John Coltrane, and pianist Nat King Cole. Louis Armstrong biographer Ricky Riccardi also joins Night Lights for a look at Louis Armstrong’s big-band years in the 1930s and ’40s, and Detroit jazz writer (and native Bloomingtonian) Mark Stryker weighs in on the fertile 1960s stretch of world-jazz pioneer Yusef Lateef. Our weekday afternoon jazz program Just You & Me also salutes Black History Month every Tuesday in February with shows about African American jazz composers in Hollywood. On February 5, we’ll highlight Duke Ellington’s 1959 score for Anatomy of a Murder; on February 12, Benny Carter’s score for the 1966 movie A Man Called Adam; on February 19, John Lewis and the Modern Jazz Quartet’s music for the 1959 noir film Odds Against Tomorrow; and on February 26, Quincy Jones’ scores for the mid-1960s crime dramas The Pawnbroker and The Split. February also means the annual Just You & Me Valentine’s Day dedication and request show! This year’s program will air on Thursday, February 11 from 3-5 p.m. Email your requests to WFIU jazz director David Brent Johnson (johnsond@indiana. edu) by Wednesday, February 10, and he’ll do his best to get them on the air for you. If necessary, some requests will air on Monday, February 15.

Eight Little Words
This month on The Black Church: This Is Our Story, This Is Our Song Tuesday, February 16 and 23 at 9pm
Retrace the 400-year-old-story of the Black church in America with executive producer, host, and writer Henry Louis Gates, Jr. Exploring its role as the site of African American organizing, resilience, autonomy, freedom, and solidarity, The Black Church: This Is Our Story, This Is Our Song reveals the broad history and culture of the Black church and explores African American faith communities on the frontlines of hope and change. The two-part documentary explores how Black people have worshipped and, through their spiritual journeys, improvised ways to bring their faith traditions from Africa to the New World, while translating them into a form of Christianity that was not only truly their own, but a redemptive force for a nation whose original sin was found in their ancestors’ enslavement across the Middle Passage. Participants include gospel legend Yolanda Adams, Presiding Bishop Michael Curry of the Episcopal Church, singers Jennifer Hudson and John Legend, Rev. Al Sharpton, scholar Cornel West, and media executive and philanthropist Oprah Winfrey. Further explore the rich traditions, historical significance, and meaning of Black church music in local companion programs Amen! Music of the Black Church on February 16 at 11pm and Crooked Stick: Songs in a Strange Land on February 23 at 11pm.

Eight little words: “Please remember WFIU in your will or trust.” Simple words that could make a huge difference to us. Every day, nonprofit organizations go to the stream of donations to ask for support. How can WFIU build its own stream in the world of financial support that will enable us to do more—and to put at least a little less daily fundraising pressure on ourselves and on our audience? “Please remember us in your will and trusts.” Help ensure the viability of WFIU. Suggested wording for including WFIU in your estate plan is below: “I give, devise, and bequeath to the Indiana University Foundation, a nonprofit Indiana corporation with principal offices in Bloomington, Indiana, the sum of $___ (or ___% of my estate) to be utilized for the benefit of WFIU Public Radio from Indiana University (or, state a specific purpose).” For more information, visit our website: wfiu.org/support/wills-and-bequests.php.

Meet WFIU’s New Music Director: Aaron Cain Aaron Cain, after more than three years as WFIU’s Morning Edition host, is moving closer to his roots. He is putting to good use his D.M.A. in Vocal Performance, along with his years of performing and teaching, in a position that will require him to program all of WFIU’s classical music and to maintain a syndicated overnight music service: music director. Cain took over the position in December 2020, replacing Joe Goetz, who is now the music director for Classical 24, the music service Minnesota Public Radio distributes to stations nationwide. Originally from Iowa City, Iowa, Cain became interested in music through creating mix tapes. “I grew up in the days of mix tapes, back when kids spent hours painstakingly copying songs from the radio or from recordings onto little cassettes and sharing them with people they cared about,” he said. “I suppose that practice became ingrained enough in me that it turned into a kind of language of affection.” Cain got his official start in music with a Bachelor of Music in choral conducting from the University of Iowa and later went on to get a doctorate in vocal performance and a master’s in historical performance practice from the University of Oregon. He had his first job in public radio as a classical and news host at WSUI/KSUI.

After moving to Bloomington for his wife’s position at the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music, Cain at WFIU as the host for Morning Edition. “I felt very lucky, not just because of the timing, but also because I had long harbored a desire to get back into public radio one day, as my love for it set in at an early age,” he said. Now music director, Cain looks forward to making mix tapes once again. “It became important to me to try to capture different feelings and personalities and stories by collecting songs—some familiar, some new, some that ease us, some that stir us—and putting them together just so,” he said. “Apart from getting to keep working with the great folks at WFIU and for the great folks in our community, I look forward to getting to make mix tapes for everyone. Every day.”
