Screening of Film About D.C. Planner Daniel Burnham

ETA members are invited to a special screening of the film Make No Little Plans: Daniel Burnham & the American City, a new documentary that explores the life and legacy of the visionary architect and city planner (1846–1912). WETA will present the film to PBS stations nationwide for broadcast on September 13. A century ago, Daniel Burnham helped develop a plan for Washington, D.C. that shaped the National Mall that we enjoy today. Burnham also developed plans for Chicago, Cleveland and San Francisco — and Manila in the Philippines — among other cities. The outdoor event will take place on Wednesday, June 9, at 8:30 p.m. on the National Mall at 4th Street in the same location as “Screen on the Green.” The film screening, a rain-or-shine event, is free and open to the public. Speakers include Valerie Jarrett, Senior Advisor to President Obama. For more information, please visit weta.org/burnham.

airs Mondays at 9 p.m. beginning June 21 on WETA TV 26 & WETA HD

STEPHANIE BERGER

merica’s history sleuths are back to prove once again that an item found in an attic or backyard might be anything but ordinary as the eighth season of the popular series History Detectives gets underway this month. The programs kicks off June 21 with an episode spotlighting America’s forays into space exploration. Historian and architecture professor Gwendolyn Wright (clockwise from top left); professor of sociology and Africana studies Tukufu Zuberi; appraiser Wesley Cowan; and appraiser and art historian Elyse Luray return this season, traveling around the country to explore the stories behind fascinating objects. Rejoining the team this year is a fifth host, professor of history and American studies Dr. Eduardo Pagán (lower left) — formerly a series guest host. The interactive series combines the latest in forensic technology with old-fashioned diligent research. Viewers generate the majority of the stories investigated: if you have an object that might have had an interesting role in American history, you can submit your story through the History Detectives website, pbs.org/historydetectives.

PAM BAUCOM/FLORENTINE FILMS

n June and July, WETA Television re-broadcasts three “innings” of Ken Burns’s monumental nine-episode 1994 series Baseball, a co-production with WETA. The three episodes slated for summer airings feature classic baseball stories from the Great Depression through the 1950s. The first broadcast, airing Wednesday, June 30, is Inning 5 — Shadow Ball — which spotlights baseball during the Great Depression, Babe Ruth’s fading career, and a new era of stars including Joe DiMaggio and Ted Williams. It also presents the parallel world of the Negro Leagues. The three Baseball innings are airing this summer as part of the lead-up to the September 28–29 premiere of Burns and co-director Lynn Novick’s follow-up film, The Tenth Inning, a new two-part, four-hour documentary created in partnership with WETA. The film takes the Baseball series from the 1990s to the present and explores the sport’s new Golden Age, an era of unprecedented home-run totals, popularity and prosperity — and some of baseball’s darkest hours: the steroid era.

WETA Television

ciGirls, a new science series that premiered in February, is designed to change how 8 –12-yearold girls think about science, technology, engineering and math. (That spells “S.T.E.M.,” a very hot topic in U.S. education today.) Each half-hour episode follows a different group of bright, curious girls — mentored by successful women professionals — putting real-world science, technology, engineering and math to work, collaborating, communicating, engineering and discovering. They’re joined by two animated characters — a plucky SciGirl named Izzie and her best friend Jake, who tie the series together with their ongoing adventures. SciGirls integrates TV and the Web: each episode begins on the site’s homepage, where Izzie goes when she finds herself in jams that only science can fix. She surfs to the site, jumps into a video of real SciGirls, and follows their story, learning and exploring every step of the way. At the series online destination, pbskidsgo.org/scigirls, young viewers can share their ideas and projects.

Also, the 2009 Leeds International Piano Competition winner Ewa Poblocka Sofya Gulyak plays Chopin’s Sonata in C minor, Op. 4 in a concert at the Phillips Collection. Other concerts recorded at the Embassy of Poland, the National Gallery of Art, and the Music Center at Strathmore round out Classical WETA’s observance of Chopin’s birth bicentennial.

Classical WETA 90.9 FM

hroughout June, Classical WETA 90.9 FM celebrates the work of Richard Hickox (1948–2008) on the Sunday night broadcast Choral Showcase. Hickox was an English conductor of choral, orchestral and operatic music who is recognized for his major, often nearly single-handed efforts to bring to the public important 20th-century British choral and orchestral pieces and operas. Choral Showcase this month highlights Hickox recordings of major English works including Britten’s War Requiem, Elgar’s Dream of Gerontius, plus non-English pieces too. In the schedule are Mahler’s (rarely performed) Klagende Lied, and works by Haydn, Brahms and Vivaldi. Hickox was, by all accounts, an extremely busy man. He founded the City of London Sinfonia (1971), the Wooburn Singers (1967), the Richard Hickox Singers and Orchestra (1971), and co-founded (with Simon Standage) Collegium Musicum 90 (1990). In addition, Hickox held positions of leadership at the Endellion Music Festival (1972–2008), St. Margaret’s, Westminster — the church of the Houses of Parliament (1972–82), the London Symphony Chorus (1976–91), the Bradford Festival Choral Society (starting in 1978), the Northern Sinfonia (1982–90), BBC National Orchestra of Wales (2000–06), and Opera Australia (2005–08). He was associate guest conductor of the London Symphony (1985–2008), and Music Director of the Spoleto Festival (Italy) for five years in the 1970s. Despite all this energetic activity, Hickox’s work and recordings were widely praised and awarded. And in addition to his prolific work, he was known to be an exuberant and good-humored fellow. Musicians enjoyed working with him, not least because of his complete lack of pretension. His conducting style was similarly unmannered, but always effective and heart-felt. Enjoy his recordings on Choral Showcase this month.
