From the President All Things Classical

Where to Tune In

This summer, WGBH is celebrating classical music in a big way: on television, on our 99.5 All Classical radio service (also online at 995allclassical.org), out in the community and here in our Brighton studios.

And what better way to launch this celebration than with an all-star program on WGBH 2 (and PBS stations around the country) marking the 125th anniversary of the Boston Pops (see page 14). During the last 80 years, just three conductors have led this Boston treasure: Arthur Fiedler, John Williams and Keith Lockhart. Each has served as a remarkable ambassador, offering up accessible pieces that resonate with veteran listeners while also welcoming new fans into the classical tent.

“Keith is a great curator and guide,” says WGBH Radio’s Jon Solins, program director for 99.5 All Classical.

“That’s why we’re also delighted to present ‘Keith’s Classical Corner’ weekday mornings with 99.5 host Laura Carlo. He shares the story behind his ‘pick of the day,’ helping listeners connect more deeply with the music.” This month and next, we’re featuring the Pops on 99.5, including a live broadcast of the orchestra’s popular July 4th concert from the Esplanade, guaranteeing you a front-row seat for the musical fireworks.

Our new all classical radio service is dramatically expanding our opportunities to showcase the cultural riches at our doorstep. On June 10, the 99.5 team heads north to bring you the opening-night premiere of the Rockport Chamber Music Festival from Rockport’s new Shalin Liu Performance Center. In July, we head to Tanglewood to bring you all three Boston Symphony Orchestra concerts live from the Koussevitsky Music Shed, every weekend throughout the summer. “WGBH has more than doubled the number of BSO concerts we’re featuring each year—from 26 to 62,” says Jon. “We’ve always wanted to provide a larger stage for the BSO. With 99.5 All Classical, now we can.”

And speaking of firsts, mark your calendar for Saturday, June 19 for our 99.5 All Classical Music Festival at our WGBH studios (see page 2). To date, more than 55,000 people have come through our doors for screenings, tours, concerts and discussions. This festival takes WGBH’s role as a public convener to a whole new level. I hope you’ll join our classical hosts and me for an afternoon of performances, presentations and salons by area vocal, chamber and contemporary music groups. You’ll also get a chance to connect with some of the wonderful music organizations we partner with throughout the year.

Come see, and hear, what your generous annual support makes possible!

Movie House Monkey If George and the Man with the Yellow Hat can show Mr. Glass a truly unique movie theater experience, he promises to save the old Bijou from being demolished. So, with the Doorman and Hundley’s help, they restore the theater to its original pristine beauty and all goes well until the music gets jumbled, the film breaks, and a popcorn explosion accompanies a volcanic eruption on screen!

Cinematographer John Davey’s camera roams the company’s home at the vast Palais Garnier Opera House from top to bottom—gliding down chandelier-laden corridors to the theater’s labyrinthine underground chambers, pausing to observe from the sidelines of light-drenched rehearsal studios, and watching rigorously trained young dancers in rehearsals and performances for seven different ballets.

Father Figure This documentary examines the life of radical attorney William Kunstler from a surprising angle. Kunstler’s two daughters from his second marriage grew up lionizing a man already famous for his historic civil rights and anti-war cases. Then, in their teens, they began to be disillusioned by a stubborn man who continued representing some of the most reviled defendants in America—this time, accused rapists and terrorists. In this intimate biography, Emily and Sarah Kunstler seek to recover the real story of what made their late father one of the most beloved, and hated, lawyers in America.

Cuttlefish are some of the strangest animals on the planet.

These shape-shifting creatures can hypnotize their prey, impersonate the opposite sex and even kill with 8pm

With beautiful underwater footage and in-depth expert interviews, Nova gets up close and personal with these bizarre and amazing animals.

Finally, in the “Space Boot” segment, Elyse Luray tries on a juryrigged ski boot with a magnetic metal brick bolted to the bottom that may be one of the first prototypes for a NASA space boot.

This program recalls the “un-won” war that never ended…no one even wanted to call it a war: it was “the Korean conflict” or a “police action.” No matter the name, the Korean War killed tens of thousands of US soldiers and aff ected many more lives at home.

Tearing It Down Explore how the historic and dramatic November 1989 fall of the Berlin Wall helped end the Cold War without a shot being fired.

The Wall examines the lives of ordinary people caught up in Cold War politics: a young father forced to tunnel beneath the wall to reunite his family; a teenager whose love of pop culture got him in deep trouble with the state; a student activist helping make a peaceful revolution while facing down tanks; and a young man broken by the ruthless interrogation methods of the secret police. The film also goes behind the scenes with political leaders to reveal the tense moments surrounding the wildly unexpected series of events that resulted in a new Europe in less than a year.

Roughly 30 players from around the world compete for first prize, which will almost certainly catapult the winner into a career as a first-class musician. The winner of the 2007 competition, for example, is now principal harpist with the Bolshoi Ballet. Each performer must learn and master 13 separate compositions, including an entire concerto for orchestra and harp.

In the end, only three players will play every piece; at each stage of the fourstage competition, half the competitors are cut. Footage was captured in Moscow, Zurich, Paris and the USA. Blythe Danner narrates.

44 Keeping Up Appearances 8pm 2 American Masters Andy Warhol (Pt. 1). No artist in the second half of the 20th century was more famous— or, perhaps, more famously misunderstood—than Andy Warhol. This two-part film, directed by Ric Burns, explores Warhol’s astonishing artistic output—from the late 1940s to his untimely death in 1987—paintings,

drawings and photographs, films and television, books, magazines and musical performances. Set within the turbulent, changing context of his life and times, this portrait is the first to move deeply into the immense archives at the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, the city of his humble origins. Obsessed with fame and a desire to transcend those origins, Warhol uniquely grasped the realities of modern society—the function of celebrity and of the mass media— and became the high priest of one of the most radical experiments in American culture, permanently penetrating and redefining the barrier between art and commerce.

Shades of Baseball

The fifth “inning” of Ken Burns’s landmark nine-part 1994 film Baseball looks at baseball’s desperate attempts to survive the Great Depression and Babe Ruth’s fading career, while a new generation of stars, including Joe DiMaggio and Ted Williams, is on the rise. It also presents the parallel world of the Negro Leagues, which thrived in the shadow of the Major Leagues. The inning culminates with the greatest showdown in the history of the Negro Leagues: Satchel Paige, arguably the best pitcher ever, against Josh Gibson, “the black Babe Ruth,” in the Negro League World Series. Look for a new update to the series, The Tenth Inning, in September!

Radio Spotlight Phillip Martin Joins WGBH News Team 89.7 WGBH’s expanded focus on local news, issues and analysis means some new voices on our air, but also old friends. Phillip Martin who joined the 89.7 WGBH news team in March, was one of the original producers involved in the development of WGBH’s award-winning international news series The World. During the last decade, Martin has worked in some of public radio’s hottest spots—as a producer of NPR’s On Point with Tom Ashbrook, as a senior editor at NPR West, and as NPR’s first and only National Race Relations correspondent. Now he’s back at WGBH as an investigative reporter for 89.7 while continuing his work on The World’s Color Initiative, a series of reports that examine complex global issues related to color.

A former Nieman Fellow at Harvard, Martin has won numerous awards, including a National Association of Black Journalists Award for best radio documentary for his NPR series South Africa: Ten Years Later. Now a resident of Cambridge, Massachusetts, Martin has a master’s degree in law and diplomacy from Tufts University, and studied international protection of human rights at Harvard Law School.

WGBH’s Jen Goebel recently caught up with Martin to talk about his new role at WGBH.

Q A

How did you get your start in radio?

I started as a commentator for NPR, working on issues of international development and child welfare worldwide. One of my first assignments was in South Africa, at the time of the dissolution of apartheid and the election of Nelson Mandela. It was a fascinating moment in history.

My interest has been in reporting on issues of race beyond the traditional paradigms of black and white to really examine ethnic conflict.

Q A

What do you like about working in radio?

Radio is my first love. I love the fact that we have to imagine what we’re hearing. I was recently reporting from Turkey for The World on the attempted coup, and in my reports I described the call to prayer in Istanbul and the sky—things you can do in radio that you wouldn’t on TV because it would be visual—and obvious. Radio forces you to write better, and more descriptively.

Martin covered the attempted coup in Turkey for The World in February 2010.

Q A

What brought you back to WGBH?

When 89.7 WGBH expanded its role in news, they got in touch with me to see if I was interested in doing investigative reporting—and I was. It’s an extraordinary opportunity to do in-depth reporting in an area that’s so rich with stories. I love the idea of working on local issues.

It’s been said a million times, and I think it’s true, that before you can know the world, you really have to know what’s right in front of you. WGBH is clearly intent on making an impact with a focus on local stories, and I think we will do that.

Q A

How does your extensive international reporting experience play into your

local reporting?

In 2010, already I’ve been to Japan, the Philippines, and Turkey, all as a reporter on the Color Initiative for The World. I’m also working on a series on world religions for The World, and I’ll continue doing that even as I do special reports for 89.7 WGBH. I think that having a wider and universal perspective is useful in any reporting.

In doing a series on New England fisheries regulations called “30 Years of Days at Sea” (which will air in July), I noticed parallels between what’s going on here and what I saw in other places.

I was in Malta in October, and just as I was leaving, the European Union imposed its annual twomonth moratorium on fishing. To see the impact on the fishing fleet in Malta was quite interesting, especially when compared to what’s going on here in New England. Fishermen here and fishermen there complain about the same things: quotas, restrictions and government regulation.

Q A

What do you think of 89.7 WGBH’s format change?

I like having two public radio news stations in the city. I think it pushes everyone’s game a lot higher, and it increases interest in public radio. And I would even say it’s high time, pun intended.

Q A

What would you like to see happen in public radio in the future?

I’d like to expand our reach. Public radio is an incubator of sorts, and can help develop all types of voices—from different nationalities, religions, and backgrounds that ultimately serve to bring in a more diverse audience.

Joe Strummer’s London Calling, Episode 1

Joe Strummer, the legendary gravel-voiced punk-poet from The Clash, loved to listen to music on the radio. Even as he toured the world with “the only band that matters,” he still had a dream to one day spin records for the BBC World Service, where he heard the latest UK hits over the shortwave band as a teenager in Africa. He finally got his wish in 1999, when BBC World Service premiered Joe Strummer’s London Calling.

“Musical Masterpiece” Memories

By Jon Solins, program director for 99.5 All Classical I listened to classical music on the radio when I was a kid, but I was fortunate enough to have some classical recordings as well. My parents, freshly-minted suburbanites in the 1950s, bought a new record player for the house and signed up for the Musical Masterpiece Society (MMS), a service that offered classical recordings on a subscription basis. These would arrive in the mail on unusual 10-inch discs, packaged in a standard album cover with very formal images of the great composers as a border and the title of the piece in the middle. The discs might be red or blue, and sometimes they were even transparent…very exotic items for a youngster used to stolid old black!

I remember lying on the living room floor on weekend mornings and listening to these records as I watched the sunbeams streaming in through the windows. Two of them made lasting impressions. I loved the bold brassy opening of Tchaikovsky’s Fourth Symphony and the way the different orchestral choirs tossed the music back and forth. But most of all, I remember that in order to fit the whole symphony on a 10-inch disc, the second movement was interrupted just after the opening oboe

solo—I had to jump up and flip the record to hear the rest of the movement. For a long time I thought there was supposed to be a big break in the symphony at that point. I was surprised to find out that on other recordings the musicians just kept right on playing!

The other MMS recording I remember was a lovely performance of the Mozart Clarinet Quintet. I was just beginning to play the instrument myself, and this gorgeous piece made me think that all the squeaking and puffing might somehow be worth it. I didn’t stick with the clarinet, but to this day that Quintet is just about my favorite piece of all.

Recently I learned that the MMS was the brainchild of David and Sam Josefowitz, brothers who made their own recordings in Europe and then issued them here on 10-inch discs, in part because these were easier to mail than the standard 12-inch size. The affordable and convenient subscription system they developed played a big role in bringing LPs of classical music into the households of post-World War II America.

Awkward movement breaks aside, I’m glad they did.
