Harmonia celebrates 1,000 episodes this month
Harmonia reaches a milestone when its 1,000th episode airs this month!
The program debuted in October of 1991 and is hosted by Angela Mariani, who started with the show while she was a graduate student at Indiana University’s Early Music Institute (now Historical Performance Institute).
“I’d been working [part-time at WFIU] for a couple of years when then-program director Christina Kuzmych asked me if I was interested in developing a weekly, one-hour program about early music, with the potential of eventually seeking syndication. I was very excited to do it, but worried about the fact that I had just embarked on a doctoral degree and producing and hosting a radio program sounded like a full-time job. I brought my dilemma to my teacher and mentor, the groundbreaking medieval music performer, scholar, and founder of the Early Music Institute, Tom Binkley. He told me, ‘You should definitely do it. You never know where it might lead.’ How right he was,” said Mariani.
After encouraging Mariani to do the series, Binkley asked her if she would be able to think of enough topics to sustain a weekly show.
“I bravely claimed that I didn’t think that would be a problem,” said Mariani. “Of course, fifteen years later, we had a whole team thinking of topics—but there are enough early music related topics to go as many years as we want, especially as the field keeps evolving and new artists come onto the scene.”
For the 1,000th episode, Angela Mariani speaks with David McCormick, executive director of Early Music America, about early music today. The program also features music by McCormick’s group, Alkemie, who did the soundtrack for the medieval-themed video game Pentiment

The 1,000th episode of Harmonia airs on Sunday, May 21 at 12 p.m. on WFIU2 and on Thursday, May 25 at 8 p.m. on WFIU.

Potatoes and pasta sound like a long shot but trust us on this one. Make arugula the star of an easy weeknight dinner.
Rich & Easy Roasted Potato & Arugula Pasta
1 package of medium pasta (gemelli is preferred, but penne, bow ties, or fusilli will do)
1 large container of arugula, or 5-6 cups of trimmed and clean leaves, loosely packed.
3 T. of olive oil
4 red potatoes (or Yukon Gold) cut in half then sliced into quarter-inch slices
3-4 T. of lightly toasted pine nuts
1/4 c. of grated parmesan
Start the water for the pasta and salt it generously. Preheat the oven to 400. Toss the potatoes with 1 T. of olive oil, then sprinkle salt and pepper over the potatoes. Arrange on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 15 minutes or so, until brown on the outside and tender on the inside. Turn them halfway into the cooking for even browning.
Meanwhile, cook the pasta. Once it is ready, drain it and return the pasta to the cooking pot. Immediately add the arugula, the remaining olive oil, and toss to coat and to evenly distribute. Add the roasted potatoes and toss again. Add plenty of salt and pepper to taste. Serve right away, topped with pine nuts and grated parmesan. Feel free to add more olive oil, if desired.

On Thursday, May 4, trumpeter and Indiana University Jacobs School of Music professor Pat Harbison will appear on our weekday afternoon show Just You & Me to discuss his career at Indiana University, his life in music, his take on the Indiana jazz scene past and present, and his plans for the future in the wake of his retirement. We are literally Pat’s last stop on his way out of Bloomington! We’ll also feature a number of recordings with Pat as leader or sideman, as well as some of his favorite records by other jazz artists.
Tune into WFIU on Friday evenings for more jazz with our long-running programs Afterglow and Night Lights. Afterglow goes to the movies this month with songwriter Irving Berlin, whose classic songs often debuted on film, delves into the recordings of Rat Pack singers Dean Martin and Sammy Davis, Jr., and profiles the talented but underrated pianist Ellis Larkins’ collaborations with vocalists such as Ella Fitzgerald and Chris Connor. Night Lights offers programs about pianist Mary Lou Williams and her place in 20th-century jazz history, Terre Haute bandleader Claude Thornhill and his influence on cool jazz, composer Carla Bley’s early works, and pianist Bill Evans’ comeback after the tragic death of his bassist Scott LaFaro.

Fanny: The Right to Rock
Monday, May 22 at 10pm
Sometime in the 1960s, in sunny Sacramento, two Filipina American sisters got together with other teenage girls to play music. Little did they know their garage band would evolve into the legendary rock group Fanny, the first allwomen band to release an LP with a major record label.
Despite releasing five critically acclaimed albums over five years, touring with famed bands from Slade to Chicago, and amassing a dedicated fan base of music legends including David Bowie, Fanny’s groundbreaking impact in music was written out of history… until bandmates reunite 50 years later with a new rock record deal.
With incredible archival footage of the band’s rocking past intercut with its next chapter releasing a new LP today, the film includes interviews with a large cadre of music icons, including Def Leppard’s Joe Elliott, Bonnie Raitt, The Go-Go’s Kathy Valentine, Todd Rundgren, The Runaways’ Cherie Currie, Lovin’ Spoonful’s John Sebastian, The B52’s Kate Pierson, Charles Neville, Earl Slick, and Gail Ann Dorsey.
Fighting early barriers of race, gender, and sexuality in the music industry—and now ageism—the incredible women of Fanny are ready to claim their hallowed place in the halls of rock ’n’ roll fame.

Join us for the first-ever Public Media Giving Days
WFIU is uniting with public media stations across the country for the first-ever Public Media Giving Days—a time to connect, celebrate, and give back. We’re excited to participate in this special event on May 1 and 2, and we invite you to be part of it, too!
What about public media do you value most? Is it the credible journalism, deep dives into history or science, a connection to the arts, access to enriching music or something else you hold dear? Did public media impact your life path—maybe motivate you to take up a musical instrument or inspire you to pursue a particular career or academic study? There are so many different reasons why people value public media—we want to hear yours!
Every day, WFIU uses radio for the greater good—to help create a more informed, more connected public. We’re committed to bringing you the news you trust, the cultural discoveries that enrich and delight you, the voices that represent your community. But we can’t do this important work without your help.
Whether you help us spread the word about Public Media Giving Days on social media, share your stories about all that public media gives you and your family, or you make a donation, we hope you’ll join us this month to celebrate all things public media!

“Public radio and television provides an inclusive link to community connection. I appreciate the access to information, inspiration, and entertainment.”
