Explore the Influence of Women in Classical Music on Feminine Fusion Feminine Fusion, which recently debuted on the WFIU schedule, is a weekly onehour radio program that highlights the influence of women in classical music. These are the women throughout history and into the present day who create, perform, and inspire. Hosted by composer and announcer Diane Jones of WCNY-FM in Syracuse, NY, Feminine Fusion showcases some of these remarkable women every week. Jones is an active composer who has received commissions from nationally and internationallyrecognized musicians and ensembles. She has also completed five residencies in Syracuse area schools, introducing young musicians to composition. She performs regularly with Samba Laranja and the Central New York Flute Choir, and her music has been featured on two SAMMY-award winning CDs. In Feminine Fusion, she provides background and insight into the featured music and individuals. “Had you asked me 10 years ago if I would have introduced a program focused on women in music, I would have said ‘no.’ Growing up in a houseful of brothers, I was always treated as their equal,” says Jones. “But there is still gender bias in the music world. I am anxious for the time when we no longer separate composers from women composers, or conductors from women conductors.” Each episode centers around a broad theme and features composers, conductors, performers, or teachers. The music presented spans the centuries, from Kassia to Pulitzer Prize-winner Du Yun. The central, unifying focus of Feminine Fusion explores musical influences that cross the boundaries of culture, race, and gender. Who can know what might have happened to the likes of Aaron Copland, Donald Byrd, or Quincy Jones had they not studied with Nadia Boulanger? Some of the individuals highlighted in the program entered the world of the arts knowing they faced opposition and gathered their strength to face it head on. Others simply took to their chosen path, often unaware of the impact their actions would have. In every case, however, they have touched hearts and souls with their art. Feminine Fusion airs Sundays at 11 p.m. on WFIU.

November 14/15 Elizabeth Schechter Elizabeth Schechter is an associate professor in the Department of Philosophy and in the Cognitive Science Program at Indiana University, Bloomington. Her work centers on questions of personal identity, self-knowledge, the unity of consciousness, and the nature of belief.

November 21/22 Mark Roseman Mark Roseman is a historian of modern Europe, whose publications have covered a wide range of topics in German, European, and Jewish history. His book, Lives Reclaimed, tells the story of a small group of idealists who aided the persecuted during the rise of the Nazis and reexamines the concepts of resistance and rescue that are often hijacked by popular notions of individual heroism or political idealism.
November 28/29 Jenny Reardon Jenny Reardon is a Professor of Sociology and the Founding Director of the Science and Justice Research Center at the University of California, Santa Cruz. Her research examines issues of identity, justice, and democracy that are often embedded in scientific ideas and practices, particularly in modern genomic research.

Hoagy Carmichael
It’s often said, with great justification, that 2020 has been a challenging year for just about everybody. As we move into its latter months and a season that is traditionally given over to celebration and spiritual reflection, we here at WFIU hope that the music we bring you each day, both jazz and classical, has been a source of some comfort and pleasure. We are profoundly grateful to be a part of your cultural home here in Indiana. On Thanksgiving Day, November 26, our weekday afternoon program Just You & Me will make its annual salute to the iconic Hoosier songwriter Hoagy Carmichael, featuring some rarely-heard Carmichael sides and recordings of his music by past and present-day jazz masters. Still hungry after all that eating? Afterglow will offer up some hearty musical fare for Thanksgiving weekend with “Home Cookin’: Feasting with the Great American Songbook”, with songs about food by singers like Louis Armstrong and Fats Waller. Speaking of Louis Armstrong, stick around afterwards for Night Lights, which will profile the trumpeter/vocalist’s big-band years with special guest and Armstrong biographer Ricky Riccardi. Other Afterglow programs this month highlight recent releases, triple-threat singer, songwriter, and pianist Mose Allison, and Sarah Vaughan’s jazz recordings of the late 1950s. Night Lights also delves into the origins of Germany’s influential ECM label, the career of jazz harpist Dorothy Ashby, and the 1960s music of multi-instrumentalist and genreexpanding artist Yusef Lateef. Last but not least, don’t forget that we now air NPR’s flagship program Jazz Night in America every Friday at 7 p.m. on WFIU2, and that Brother William Morris’s Saturday edition of The Soul Kitchen has moved up to an 8 p.m. slot. See you next month, when the holidays will be at hand!

This month on Masterpiece: 50 Fabulous Years! Sunday, November 29 at 9pm
Celebrate the iconic PBS series Masterpiece in its 50th year! Originally called Masterpiece Theatre, the series has captivated viewers for five decades with its riveting stories, fabulous acting, magnificent costumes, and its astonishing ability to transport us to another time and place. From Upstairs, Downstairs and I, Claudius to The Jewel in the Crown and Downton Abbey, Masterpiece has stood the test of time and introduced generations of PBS viewers to the delights of British period drama. Susanne Simpson, executive producer of Masterpiece, says, “Every week, when you turn on that television, you’re going to escape into a world—a world maybe you knew something about, maybe you didn’t know much about, but it’s going to transport you to a place in time and you’re going to enjoy that time.” Hosted by award-winning actor Alan Cumming, Masterpiece: 50 Fabulous Years! features in-depth interviews with actors, writers, creators, and fans. Enjoy clips from classic Masterpiece Theatre series and current fan favorites like Victoria, Endeavour, Poldark, Grantchester, plus many more. Viewers will also get a sneak peek at the highly anticipated All Creatures Great and Small series that will help launch the new season of Masterpiece in 2021.

Remembering Charles Davis A good friend of the station, Charles Davis, passed away peacefully at home in Bloomington on September 24. He was born in Tell City and raised in Indianapolis. His B.S. in chemistry, M.A. in library science, and Ph.D. in information science, all from Indiana University, prepared him for a career focused on using technology to improve chemical information retrieval. That career saw him taking research, teaching, and administrative posts at four universities before his retirement in 1993. He then returned to Bloomington, becoming a Senior Fellow and Adjunct Professor at IU’s School of Library and Information Science, and an accomplished amateur clarinetist with the Indianapolis Philharmonic Orchestra, the Bloomington Symphony Orchestra, and the Community Chamber Music Association of Bloomington. More recently he enjoyed being Concertmaster and solo clarinetist with the Bloomington Community Band and its Heritage Hall Ramblers Dixieland band and Hungry Five German band. Charles Davis’ love of classical music began when he saw Walt Disney’s Fantasia as a child. He admired the clarinet’s tone and, like a true musician, spent his life trying to achieve his best approximation of its ideal. At Shortridge High School in Indianapolis, he was Band Captain and played in small ensembles from a clarinet quartet to a dance band. He considered majoring in music, but his father encouraged chemistry as more practical; and, his musical mentor, Bob Phillips, told him it’s easier to be an amateur musician than an amateur chemist. Charles made the gift that began the WFIU endowment fund focused on preserving and enhancing classical music programming. For his ongoing generosity, we began to acknowledge him on air at the outset of each weekday’s morning music; and, such was his love of the music that he always wished to share the spotlight by including a message in support of the current BSO season. Charles Davis is survived by his wife, Debora (Ralf) Shaw, and their pre- (and post-) possessing cat, Kit, who enjoyed fleeting stardom on each Pet Day over the past several fall on-air pledge drives. Memorial contributions may be made to any of the musical organizations mentioned; to the Charles A. and Charles H. Davis Fellowship in Scientific Information 0370008438 at the Luddy School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering, c/o IU Foundation, P.O. Box 6460, Indianapolis, IN 462020-6460; or a charity of one’s choice. We at the station will deeply miss his kind demeanor, good humor, and abiding love for the arts and culture of his community.
