Cooking legend and cultural icon Julia Child introduced French cuisine to American kitchens in 1963 with WGBH’s pioneering series, The French Chef. She was passionate, capable and approachable…and she changed the way Americans cook, eat and think about food.

This month would have been Julia’s 100th birthday, and we’re celebrating in a big way: with a special collection of three episodes of The French Chef that we’re airing for the first time since 1963…with a PBS retrospective featuring iconic moments from the series along with reflections by some of the many chefs whose careers Julia helped shape…and with some of our own favorite recollections (page 10).

By now, most people are familiar with the story of Julia’s apprenticeship at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris and her 10-year collaboration with Simone Beck and Louisette Bertholle to write a cookbook aimed at an American audience.

Mastering the Art of French Cooking was published in 1961. That might have been the end of the story if not for our invitation to this tall and talented Cambridge neighbor to appear on a local WGBH book review program called I’ve Been Reading.

Julia arrived with a hot plate, a giant whisk and eggs. She made an omelet and a lasting impression on everyone who tuned in. Soon after, WGBH tapped a talented young producer, Russ Morash, to create three pilot shows. The French Chef was an instant hit and Julia became public television’s first and most enduring star, with multiple, award-winning series over the course of nearly 40 years.

Above all, Julia was an inspiring teacher. Never afraid to make mistakes on camera, she used them to her advantage to show her viewers how to adapt with confidence. And adapt she did. In a tribute to Julia, Russ recalled the time a freight elevator bell went off in the middle of a taping session. “Back in those days, we had to continue recording and Julia knew this,” he says. “She calmly apologized to the viewers for the interruption— ‘Oh, that must be the plumber…it’s about time he got here!’”

Our celebration of Julia will continue next month with The Taste of WGBH Food & Wine Festival at our WGBH studios, Thursday through Saturday, 9/13 to 9/15. This ticketed festival includes an opening gala, chef demonstrations, educational seminars, artisanal tastings, a wine auction and more (page 2).

We’re grateful to all of you who helped us launch Julia’s television career and for your ongoing support of our cooking and lifestyle series with authentic experts who give us the courage to try something new. As Julia used to Julia All Month say, “If I can do it, you can do it…and Check out wgbh.org daily here’s how to do it! Bon appétit!” for bonus content about Julia throughout the month, including never-seen outtakes from The French Chef, recipes Jon Abbott from her show, cooking tips and more.

Tune in throughout August for a wide range of TV programs, including some very special member favorites! Below are just a few of the highlights. Check wgbh.org/schedules to see when your favorites are airing.

Great Performances/Jackie Evancho: Music of the Movies

Jackie Evancho first knew she wanted to perform when she saw The Phantom of the Opera. Three years later, undeterred by two failed tryouts, she landed a spot on America’s Got Talent after viewers voted her into an audience-nominated spot based on her YouTube audition. She went on to finish second. She was 10 years old.

Life hasn’t been the same since. The year she appeared on America’s Got Talent, her major label debut album, O Holy Night, became the year’s number one best-selling debut recording. Less than a year later, she dazzled viewers with her first Great Performances solo concert from the spectacular Ringling Museum of Art in Sarasota, Florida.

Now she’s back on PBS in a new Great Performances special showcasing great songs from the silver screen, recorded in the movie palace splendor of the Orpheum Theater in Los Angeles.

Evancho puts her own unique stamp on such audience favorites as “My Heart Will Go On” (Titanic), “Some Enchanted Evening” (South Pacific), “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” (The Lion King), “Pure Imagination” (Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory), “When She Loved Me” (Toy Story 2) and many more.

Evancho’s voice has been described as angelic and heavenly, and she’s been praised for her technical precision and range. “Her remarkable sense of pitch is one of the many things that makes Evancho’s talent so exciting to audiences,” The Los Angeles Times observes. Hear her for yourself this month on WGBH.

Most people believe that once they land that long-awaited promotion, make more money, get their kids into the right schools, lose a few pounds or find a meaningful relationship, then they’ll be happy.

War Stories

Directed and produced by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick, The War examines the history and horror of the Second World War from an American perspective. The film focuses on the stories of citizens from four geographically distributed American towns: Waterbury, Connecticut; Mobile, Alabama; Sacramento, California; and the tiny farming town of Luverne, Minnesota.

Individuals from each community take the viewer through their personal and often harrowing journeys into war, painting vivid portraits of how the war dramatically altered their lives and those of their neighbors, as well as the country they helped save for generations to come.

In honor of what would have been Julia Child’s 100th birthday, we offer you a special collection of three original black-and-white episodes of WGBH’s The French Chef from the 1960s that bring quintessential Julia back into your home.

One of Julia’s earliest episodes, French Onion Soup, teaches us how to make the classic soup from scratch (including the French version with a poached egg) as well as how to disguise the flavor of a store-bought version. In Quiche Lorraine, Julia extols the virtues of using your hands during cooking, explains the differences among kinds of flour, and demonstrates the fine art of making the perfect pie crust. In Chocolate Mousse, Julia presents us with the no-nonsense cooking secrets behind “mousseline au chocolat” served two ways: in individual glasses chilled in an “icebox” or frozen in a ring mold with homemade whipped cream spooned into the center.

We also re-enter Julia’s kitchen this month with a retrospective that includes some of the most memorable episodes from her classic cooking series and Saturday afternoon marathons of some of our favorite shows. And each day during August, we’ll add something new to our wgbh.org website relating to Julia—from streaming programs and never-seen outtake footage from early film shoots to cooking tips and recipes from The French Chef episodes. As Julia herself said, Bon appétit!

It was one of the defining moments of the 20th century: the scientific, technological, military and political gamble of the world’s first atomic attack. This docudrama takes a look at the three weeks from the first test explosion in New Mexico to the eventual dropping of the bomb—into the room where the crucial political decisions are made, on board the Enola Gay on her fateful voyage, inside the bomb as it explodes, and on the streets of Hiroshima when disaster strikes. As told from both US and Japanese perspectives, the story reveals the tensions and conflicts in the actions and minds of people who were making history.

Radio Spotlight On Air with Alan McLellan Classical New England’s Alan McLellan’s first job in radio was as an engineer for the Canadian Broadcasting Company in 1980. He spent the majority of the next three-plus decades behind the scenes, arriving at WGBH in 2000 to help produce our radio station broadcasts of live performances. But this past fall, he stepped into the weekday spotlight, debuting on Classical New England as host of Classical Music with Alan McLellan, which includes the popular noontime Café Europa segment. WGBH’s Matt Roy spoke with McLellan about his background and the recent turn his career has taken.

Q A

Can you provide an example of this approach?

I recently presented a string quartet of Beethoven and I introduced it with a story about him and the year he produced this particular piece. He was sick with an intestinal ailment and got better by following his doctor’s advice and going off to a spa not far from Vienna. He recuperated and it must have been a wonderful recovery for him, because he wrote this amazing portion of the string quartet called the “Holy Song of Thanksgiving.” It’s this beautiful, slow movement that is an outpouring of thanks for his recovery.

Taylor. I majored in voice in college and later returned to school to get a master’s in choral conducting. My love of classical music developed in college. There were and are so many corners of it to explore. It’s not just one unique style among many; it’s this entire world of color and possibilities.

Q A

What do you miss about Canada?

There are all kinds of things, but mainly the countryside in British Columbia. The mountains, the trees and the whole connection with nature is so visceral, it’s literally in your face every day. You look up and the horizon is filled with mountains.

Do you still sing?

I sing with the Cantata Singers. It’s a really fun musical outlet. I also sing in a church choir. Both let me dip back into the experience of making music, which I think is vital for people.

Wherever you have a chance to actually be involved and do music in some way—that’s a great thing, a great opportunity.

Classical New England A Tanglewood To Remember

By Benjamin K. Roe Managing Director of Classical Services

Forget about August being a quiet, sleepy month: with 14 broadcasts and a brand-new audio channel on the agenda, we intend for Classical New England’s coverage of the 75th-anniversary season of Tanglewood concerts to live up to the adjectival definition of the word august: “grand, majestic and awe-inspiring.”

Certainly some august figures from the world of music will be prowling the Tanglewood grounds this month, including conductors Lorin Maazel, Christoph von Dohnányi, Leonard Slatkin and Rafael Fruhbeck de Burgos, not to mention such soloists as Gil Shaham, Pinchas Zukerman, Yo-Yo Ma and Jean-Yves Thibaudet. Here are a just a few of the highlights of a month that will be packed with spine-tingling musical moments, brought to you live every Friday and Saturday night and Sunday afternoon:

Gil Shaham

Christoph von Dohnányi

Lorin Maazel

Pinchas Zukerman

Yo-Yo Ma

John Williams

Tue, 8/7: Tanglewood on Parade The annual open house day on the festival grounds translates into an evening with three orchestras (the Boston Symphony, the Boston Pops and the Tanglewood Music Center Orchestra) and a parade of five—count ’em, five—conductors showing their stuff.

Sat, 8/11: Yo-Yo Ma Plays Elgar The world’s greatest cellist is the soloist in Edward Elgar’s magnificent Cello Concerto, led by French conductor Stephan Deneve. Deneve also leads the BSO in the Symphony No. 5 by Dmitri Shostakovich and the world premiere of André Previn’s Music for Boston.

Sat, 8/18: John Williams 80th-Birthday Concert Renowned musical guests, including Jessye Norman and Yo-Yo Ma, join the Pops in a spectacular evening of some of Williams’ most popular works for film and the concert stage, with some very special surprises in store.

Sun, 8/26: Harbison and Beethoven In addition to the now-traditional season-ending performance of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 with soloists and the Tanglewood Festival Chorus, you’ll also hear the world premiere of another BSO commission for the 75th-anniversary season: Koussevitzky said, for chorus and orchestra, by John Harbison.

But wait…there’s more! This month we’ll unveil BSO Audiophile, the latest addition to our growing roster of online channels. We’re especially excited about this one, for, as the name implies, BSO Audiophile represents nothing less than the highest technical quality of any online symphony orchestra broadcast in the world. Visitors to our online channel at classicalnewengland.org will be able to enjoy each Boston Symphony Orchestra concert without signal compression, and at three times the normal bit rate of standard Internet music streams. For the serious music fan, BSO Audiophile will be the next-best thing to having the best seat in the house.

Try it out today, and let us know what you hear—and what you think!

Impressions of Debussy

This article is part of Classical New England’s occasional “Build Your Library” series. Look for more recommendations in future Explore! guides.

By Cheryl Willoughby Classical New England Music Director Claude Debussy once said, “Music is the expression of the movement of the waters, the play of curves described by changing breezes.”

This wasn’t merely an offhand musing by the composer, born 150 years ago this month in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, France. Rather it describes the very essence of Debussy’s creative approach.

You can actually hear dapples of sunlight bouncing about on the surface of rippling waves in his Jeux de Vagues (Dance of the Waves) from his masterpiece La Mer (The Sea). And there simply is no other music that so effectively illuminates the shifting, eerily muted soundscape of an underwater scene that Debussy captured in La Cathédral Englutie (The Sunken Cathedral). Small wonder that Debussy was called an Impressionist composer, as much as he may have disliked the label.

The latter piece is for solo piano; La Mer, of course, is one of the towering works of orchestral music of the 20th century. Which points to the completeness of Debussy’s unique voice as a composer: No matter the instrumentation, in each composition Debussy creates a fully formed sound world with its own internal laws of physics, structure and harmonics. And the results are invariably ear-catching.

As Classical New England joins the rest of the world in celebrating Claude Debussy’s 150th birthday this month, we wanted to give you a chance to hear his music in a way that he never did: on a selection of marvelous recordings, in many different interpretations from a top selection of performers and ensembles.

As Debussy had his own interpretation of the Mediterranean Sea for La Mer, so too will you have your own personal experience of which Debussy works move you. We’ve assembled some of our favorite Debussy recordings at right, which we hope will be a springboard for you to explore the recorded output of the masterful French composer.

89.7 WGBH, Boston Public Radio The New 89.7 Lineup

By Phil Redo Managing Director

Boston-centric programs that make every hour as rich a listening experience as possible—that’s the goal behind the new lineup on 89.7 WGBH. With creative conversation in a now seamless two-hour block, and a new partnership with the award-winning Marketplace, we’re providing a greater choice of high-quality programs from morning through night. At a time when all things economic are central to our daily lives, we are proud to be offering more of Marketplace, public radio’s premier business program, with its intelligent and in-depth approach to economic issues and trends.

Marketplace’s reporting now appears throughout the day: Marketplace Morning Report, a look at business and economic news with a glance ahead at the day’s headlines, airs throughout WGBH’s Morning Edition; WCAI alumnus Jeremy Hobson hosts.

Marketplace, Kai Ryssdal’s iconic 30-minute business news program, makes its mark at 6pm.

Marketplace Tech Report, an exploration of technology’s influence on our world with host John Moe, airs during All Things Considered.

• • •

And on Sundays, we will continue to broadcast Marketplace’s personal finance show, Marketplace Money with Tess Vigeland.

With these shifts, WGBH jazz programming moves to the weekend. Legendary host Eric Jackson, the dean of Boston jazz, presides Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings from 9pm–midnight. Eric in the Evening will continue to showcase local jazz artists and Kai Ryssdal venues and provide a wider stage for this important musical genre that has been a part of WGBH’s lineup for four decades.

As part of these changes, Steve Schwartz is leaving WGBH after 27 years. Steve is a jazz radio legend in his own right—and along with his many fans, all of us at WGBH thank him for his many contributions.

Our Thanks to You

89.7’s audience has grown over the past year and we’re grateful to you, our loyal listeners. We know that change can take some getting used to, and that no one schedule can please everyone. We hope you will try out our new lineup, enjoy our new offerings and let us know what you think by contacting us at wgbh.org/contact.

Arts & Ideas

A Celtic Sojourn

Sound Opinions marks the 45th anniversary of one of the most significant milestones in rock and roll: 1967 was the year that the recording studio as an instrument changed the way music is created; that the album as a united concept changed the way it is heard; that the festival experience remade the way music is celebrated live.

Chicago-based rock critics Jim DeRogatis and Greg Kot host.

Sun, 8/5 at 7pm

This young singer/songwriter from Glasgow has been raising eyebrows for many years.

In addition to traditional Scottish material, Polwart has written some hard-hitting songs with themes that range from child abuse to the massacre at Srebrenica. Host Brian O’Donovan explores this socially conscious part of her repertoire in this edition of A Celtic Sojourn.

The program features two segments, each raising a big question, and then explores how Boston-area innovators are tackling each of those questions. From renewable energy and education to infrastructure, health care and technology, this program showcases the creative and novel approaches to addressing issues impacting our community.

WCAI, Cape and Islands NPR Station Embracing the Cape’s Creativity

By Mindy Todd WCAI’s Managing Director for Editorial/Host

Every other Friday, WCAI explores the creativity of diverse individuals and groups of people from around Cape Cod, the Islands and the South Coast in our series Creative Life.

Creative Life offers an audio tour of the arts and culture of our region, which is so rich with inspiration and imaginative talent. We talk with artists experimenting with new types of media, organizations bringing creativity to the community in new ways, or anyone whose work Welder Michael Craighwell stands with one of his sword creations. reflects a fresh twist on the creative process.

It’s a beat shared by several reporters, including Steve Junker and Brian Morris. “I’m fascinated by the creative and unusual things people are doing in their basements and garages and living rooms,” Junker says. “People who might not identify themselves as artists are building scale-model replicas of

historic boats, welding giant, fantasy video-game style swords or taking an invention from dream to reality.”

Morris says it has been interesting to discover how many unique ways people are funneling their creative energies. “My favorite interview so far was with pianist Jacqueline Schwab, mainly because I’ve been a fan of hers for so long. It was wonderful to get so many insights on how her creative process works, and the path she took to get where she is today,” he says.

“I also enjoyed talking to Robert Rindler from Wellfleet, who makes art out of plastic scraps that most people discard at the dump.”

Living at lands’ end inspires the imagination, according to WCAI founder Jay Allison, who edits the series. He says it’s not just about the arts, but the creative ways people live their lives on the Cape, Islands and South Coast.

“For most of us, it takes a certain amount of creativity to stitch together a living down here,” Allison says. “Our series looks at the remarkable things people do, not only to enhance their lives, but to survive.”
