A few years back, following our production of two religious-themed WGBH documentaries (From Jesus to Christ; Faith and Doubt at Ground Zero) and while we were at work on the critically acclaimed American Experience/Frontline co-production The Mormons, WGBH convened a group of scholars and thinkers about religion in America to ponder a simple, but far-reaching question: What more could public broadcasting do to explore religious faith?

“The consensus was that America has what the scholars call ‘a religious literacy problem,’” says WGBH’s Mike Sullivan, Frontline executive producer for special projects. “While many Americans are deeply involved in their faith, many also are uninformed—not only about other religions, but even about their own, and certainly about the religious history of our country.” Out of these discussions was born a new American Experience/ Frontline collaboration: God in America, premiering this month on WGBH 2 and PBS stations nationwide (see page 12).

The first series of its kind on American television, God in America looks at the historical role of religion in the public life of the United States— examining 400 years of our nation’s quest for religious liberty, and its impact on society, politics and the spiritual experiences of Americans. “We can’t really understand the American story without understanding its religious history,” says Mike, series executive producer.

“God in America isn’t attempting to judge religions or faiths or denominations,” adds series producer Marilyn Mellowes. “We’re trying to present history that many people don’t know about, and to start an ongoing conversation.”

That’s a conversation we’re fostering not just on air, but online and out in the community. Last month, WGBH joined with the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life and the Religious Freedom and Education Project at the Newseum in Washington, DC to host an all-day God in America Religious Literacy Symposium moderated by PBS NewsHour’s Ray Suarez.

We’ve also helped launch a series of God in America self-guided walking tours of sacred spaces, including here in the Boston area. Sites in Roxbury, Back Bay and Cambridge will be open to the public at designated times (see page 2 for details).

And our comprehensive God in America website (pbs.org/ godinamerica) includes a great interactive space called “Faithbook,” dedicated to helping you share your spiritual journeys, beliefs and experiences.

This is a wonderful and important series for PBS and the American people—one we couldn’t have produced without your generous annual support. We’re deeply grateful.

In March 1999, Elia Kazan was to be recognized with an Academy Award for lifetime achievement, an honor that divided Hollywood and fueled social commentary across the country. Then 89 years old and best remembered for his film directing in the 1950s—On the Waterfront, East of Eden, A Streetcar Named Desire, Gentleman’s Agreement, A Face in the Crowd—Kazan was emblematic of the sin of “naming names” in the darkest days of the Hollywood Blacklist.

Without a Trace

On June 1, 2009, an Air France Airbus A330 flying from Rio de Janeiro to Paris disappeared over the Atlantic Ocean with the loss of all 228 lives. How could a state-of-the-art airliner with elaborate electronic safety and navigation features and a faultless safety record simply vanish without trace? Nova assembles a team of seasoned pilots, engineers and safety experts to examine the evidence that emerged in the weeks following this horrific disaster.

Could the spill have been prevented? Through interviews with current and former employees and executives, government regulators, and safety experts, Frontline correspondent Martin Smith joins with the investigative non-profit ProPublica to

examine the trail that led to the disaster in the Gulf.

Crows do not have the best of reputations.

They are generally dismissed as spooky— Hitchcock used them quite successfully to frighten moviegoers, or as a general nuisance. Scarecrows were, after all, invented to scare crows away from crops. But their image is about to take a real turn. New research has shown they are among the most intelligent animals in the world, able to use tools as only elephants and chimpanzees do, able to recognize each other’s voices and 250 distinct calls.

Radio Spotlight Live From New York: James David Jacobs The first time I participated in real classical radio was when I was an assistant teacher/intern at a music camp. One of the violin teachers had a weekly show on KPFA in Berkeley, California and asked me for advice for themes, and so I came up with a couple. To my shock as an 18-year-old, he used all my ideas. I programmed his entire month for him.

Q A

What was your first radio show?

James David Jacobs joined WGBH as our new 99.5 All Classical weekend host in August. His voice may sound familiar—Jacobs was a frequent guest host last spring. Jacobs comes to WGBH after eight years of radio hosting and producing at WNYC and WNYE in New York City. He has worked as a professional musician for 30 years, playing cello and several other instruments, conducting, and composing.

Jacobs brings an impressive background to his new gig: He has appeared on A Prairie Home Companion and Saturday Night Live, written scores for HBO and PBS, and performed in a wide variety of venues (Shakespeare festivals, concert halls, off-Broadway musicals, rock clubs, dance studios, and many weddings). For eight years he taught at the Brooklyn Conservatory of Music, where he created an acclaimed salon program and conducted the school’s chorus and orchestra. He has delivered pre-concert lectures and written music and theater criticism, as well as program notes for concerts and recordings. In the course of the last year, Jacobs has conducted three concerts for mass cellos in New York and Minneapolis.

WGBH’s Jennifer Goebel recently sat down with Jacobs to talk about his new role on 99.5 All Classical and how he got here.

Q A

How did you come to be a classical music radio host?

I can actually say it’s something I have wanted to do since childhood. When I was nine years old, I did mock classical shows. I had a turntable and a walkie-talkie set. I would play music like Strauss’s Also Sprach Zarathustra (my brother was a big science fiction fan) or the Mozart clarinet concerto, and study the liner notes and introduce recordings into my walkie-talkie. For some reason, it fascinated me.

22 Schedules, program info, playlists: wgbh.org/listen

In 1999, a few months after I joined the faculty of the Brooklyn Conservatory of Music, WNYE approached the Conservatory about co- producing an educational show about music for kids. For some reason they asked me to do it, and I produced 17 episodes of a show called Sounds Like.

The very first episode was called “The Raw and the Cooked,” and it was about how composers are influenced by environmental sounds. The New York Times gave it a good write-up, and a few months later, when WNYE had an opening on Friday mornings, they gave it to me. For six years, I had a show called Call of the Mountain, with music and interviews.

Q A

How did you get interested in classical music?

My older brother played the bassoon. One day he came home with a recording from the library of Pablo Casals playing the Bach Cello Suites—there’s not a lot of repertoire for bassoon.

And when he played the recording, I thought, “When I get to play an instrument, I want to be able to play those Bach Cello Suites on the instrument they were written for!”

I finally got to do that when I was 10—we had just moved to Berkeley, where the public schools had a music program for 5th graders. So, I got a cello—it had things carved into it and wasn’t in great shape, but it was still a cello, and I got to play it. I’m a poster child for music in the public schools. I definitely wouldn’t have been able to play the cello if not for that program, and I wouldn’t have gotten through my childhood without music. Music was an oasis for me.

Q A

You’ve done a wide range of music gigs.

What are some of your most interesting?

The last time I played in Boston was at T.T. the Bear’s—I’m probably the only classical deejay who can say that. It was in the ’90s, and I played a lot of melancholy cello lines with various

Brooklyn bands. I was also on Saturday Night Live with Third Eye Blind, which was the pinnacle or nadir of my rock career, depending on how you look at it. Before that, I was dressing in tights and playing krummhorn and viola da gamba at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. The Festival musicians performed on A Prairie Home Companion.

I was very impressed that Garrison Keillor already knew what a krummhorn was.

Q A

Who are the people who have most influenced you?

Pablo Casals is something of an idol to me. He felt that it’s the duty of musicians to demonstrate how the order and beauty of music could be used as a model for life itself, for how the people of the world should interact. John Cage’s philosophy about how everything is music and it’s about how you listen to it still resonates with me.

Leonard Bernstein’s idea that classical music isn’t something that’s up in an ivory tower but can communicate to everyone has shaped me, too. And Millie Rosner, my cello teacher and foster mother, taught me that music is a form of nurturing.

Q A

Why do you think it’s important to have classical music on radio?

It’s food for the soul. Unlike so many other aspects of the culture, it’s messy, it’s not contained, it has dynamic range. As a musician, I’ve witnessed many times how listening to classical music can transform someone’s day. Classical music is increasingly endangered, so I’m very happy to see that Boston still treasures that connection to music with so much depth and history.

Q A

What do you enjoy most about being a radio host?

When I was doing my morning WNYE show, my sliver of bandwith was right next to Howard Stern’s and we were on at exactly the same time. There were parts of New Jersey where my signal knocked his signal out. So I’d get these calls from guys—gas station attendants and military types—and they’d say “I really liked that, uh, Brumel piece, how do I get that?” So here I was turning Howard Stern listeners on to really obscure Renaissance music. That was fantastic.

I love it when I can invite everyone in to classical music. And that’s why I’m so excited by this opportunity to join WGBH. Tune in Classical Music with James David Jacobs weekends from 7am to 11am on 99.5 All Classical.

Off the Mic

A New Season

By Ray Brown, 99.5 All Classical Host Outdoor concerts live at the whim of the weather, and when storm clouds threatened a Boston Landmarks Orchestra performance at the Hatch Shell last summer, it was fortunate that New England Conservatory’s Jordan Hall was ready as the backup location.

This was a very special concert with the Youth Orchestra of the Americas, comprised of brilliant young musicians from all of the countries of the Western Hemisphere, guest-conducted by Benjamin Zander, and featuring pianist Gabriela Montero as guest soloist for the Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No. 2. After her spectacular performance of the concerto, Ms. Montero regaled the audience with her trademark improvisations of tunes (including Take Me out to the Ballgame) called out by members of the audience, who responded with enthusiastic approval.

And then the fun really started, as the orchestra performed its final encore, Tico Tico—twice—as maestro Zander, and members of the orchestra, and ultimately the entire audience, danced on the stage, in front of the stage, and in the seats and aisles, as the orchestra played on.

And on. Then the ensemble played a few jokes on the audience, pretending to complete the performance, only to begin again, leave the stage, and begin yet again, and then staging a final joke by seating themselves for a final bit of playing which never happened, leaving the audience laughing joyfully and continuing to dance, even when the music had ended.

It was a standing-room-only audience that had followed the musicians from a rain-swept Charles River Esplanade to the acousticallyblessed Jordan Hall for a performance that none of us will soon forget.

Listen to Classical Music with Ray Brown from 4–8pm on 99.5 All Classical.

October marks the beginning of the Boston Symphony Orchestra’s 2010–2011 season at Symphony Hall.

When the community works together, the community works.

A healthy, growing community banks on the participation of its members, its youth included. And the younger they are the faster they learn that hard work helps others while helping themselves.

Bank of America is proud to support WGBH’s High School Quiz Show for nourishing our future leaders day after day. Your involvement never goes unnoticed.
