Air Check Dear Member, This month, we are excited to bring you the premiere of a wonderful cross-platform special: A Weekend in Havana with Geoffrey Baer. This colorful documentary, filmed last December in Cuba, was truly a labor of love for us. We hope you’ll feel the same after watching this eye-opening look at the history, architecture, and culture of this “old city trying to find its place in the modern world,” a land off limits to Americans for decades. Visit wttw.com/weekendinhavana for a mobile tour of the city – in text, sound, images, and Virtual Reality video – that will truly illuminate this unique and mysterious place. Take side trips to Hemingway’s Cuba, see how Cuban cigars are made, learn the secret to the perfect mojito, explore baseball in Cuba, and view a timeline of U.S./Cuba relations. And we give you a peek inside Geoffrey Baer’s travel journal for his favorite photos and memories from the trip. On WTTW11, beat the July heat with the annual favorite A Capitol Fourth, live from Washington, DC; an array of gripping British dramas on Sunday evenings, including Michael Palin in Remember Me; a trek through Central America with actor/comedian Stephen Fry; a new weekly music and conversation series filmed in our own Grainger Studio, The Experience with Dedry Jones; more delicious installments of The Great British Baking Show; several intrepid excursions to observe animal life in the wild, including Wild Alaska Live, a three-night event with the Kratt Brothers; and a fun tour, with host Kira Cook, of possibly the best-known “island without cars,” Michigan’s Mackinac Island. This month on wttw.com’s Playlist, meet young architect Daniel de la Regata, one of Geoffrey Baer’s local guides in Weekend in Havana, as he discusses the historic buildings of Cuba. Dive into the wild world of nature photography with Joel Sartore, who documents near-extinct species in Rare: Creatures of the Photo Ark. Catch up on episodes of My Mother and Other Strangers and Grantchester with weekly recaps. And relive the thrill of Chicago’s long-defunct Riverview Park (that closed 50 years ago) with an archival Chicago Stories. WFMT is front and center at the Grant Park Music Festival for four more live concerts this month, including the annual Fourth of July Salute led by Christopher Bell. This special, hosted by Dave Schwan, will mark the grand finale of a whole day of American music. We’re also featuring music from the 2017 Ravinia Festival on Monday evenings, and from the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival on Thursdays. And the American Opera Series brings you more productions on Saturday afternoons from Lyric Opera of Chicago, plus Verdi’s Macbeth starring Placido Domingo from the Los Angeles Opera. On wfmt.com, look for Facebook Live events from the Grant Park Music Festival! We’ll take you backstage to meet the performers, out on the Great Lawn, and inside audience picnic baskets! This month, you will also find a compendium of the best classical music to complement the cuisine at your next cookout. And as the KAIA String Quartet completes its musical journey through Latin America on the air and online, discover one of Argentina’s most beloved performance traditions – tango – in a video that’s fun for all ages. Enjoy the summer and thanks for your support! Sincerely,
Dan Schmidt President & CEO

Islands without Cars with Kira Cook: Mackinac Island Visiting Michigan’s Mackinac Island is like taking a trip backwards in time. It is probably the most famous “island without cars” in the Western Hemisphere, and is a uniquely preserved slice of good old fashioned Americana. In this segment, which just happens to take place during their famous Lilac Festival, host Kira Cook traces a little American history, explores the iconic Grand Hotel and its famous moments in film, learns how to drive “island style,” and meets the people dedicated to preserving this one-of-akind dreamscape.

Celebrating American Music
Remembering Johan Botha
Joseph Horowitz’s book is subtitled “How Refugees from 20th-century war and revolution transformed the American performing arts.” Bill McGlaughlin examines the evidence on Exploring Music.
An entire day of American music is planned for Independence Day. Its culmination: live from Pritzker Pavilion, a Fourth of July Salute from the Grant Park Orchestra. Also for Independence Day: July 4 with Leroy Anderson and the Boston Pops.
The distinguished South African-born tenor Johan Botha died last year at age 51. His last Lyric Opera performance, in 2015, was a critically acclaimed interpretation of Wagner’s Tannhäuser.

Elbio Barilari
Fiesta: This Land Is… Elbio Barilari, the Uruguayan-born composer who’s also the host of WFMT’s Fiesta! series, notes that both U.S.-born Latino composers, and composers who migrated to the U.S. from Latin America, have written music reflecting the American experience in all its nuances. As an Independence Day special, he presents Esta Tierra Es Mi Tierra – the title is a riff on the famous Woody Guthrie song – to share music about the immigrants’ journeys. Elbio will share some of his own experiences, and those of other musicians from South and Central America who’ve made America their home.

Edo de Waart
More from the Milwaukee Symphony WFMT is happy to present another season of broadcast concerts by the Milwaukee Symphony, led by music director Edo de Waart and guest conductors. The series leads off with an all-American program of Adams, William Schuman, Copland, and Gershwin. Later in the series we’ll hear a two-week Brahms symphony cycle conducted by de Waart, a Vaughan Williams-Beethoven program led by Carlos Kalmar, Orli Shaham playing Bartok’s Piano Concerto #3, concertmaster Frank Almond playing The Red Violin by John Corigliano, and Walton’s Henry V: A Shakespeare Scenario with the MSO Chorus and Milwaukee Children’s Choir. The Milwaukee Symphony performs on a regular basis throughout the state of Wisconsin, and is noted for its innovative outreach and education programs, including Meet the Music, Post-Concert Talkbacks, and MSO Stars of Tomorrow. It has presented world and U.S. premieres of works by John Adams and Philip Glass among several other contemporary composers, and was the first U.S. orchestra to offer live recordings via iTunes.

Produced by Louise Frank and Matthew Snyder, the 13-week series will begin with a chamber setting of Mozart’s Piano Concerto #14, plus Brahms’ Liebeslieder Waltzes for voices and piano. Also to be heard during July are works by Elizabeth Ogonek – a CSO composer-in-residence – Shulamit Ran, Vivaldi, Haydn, Dvorak, Poulenc, and Bartok. Guest artists from the festival will include the Dover Quartet, the Pacifica Quartet, pianists Peter Serkin and Alessio Bax, violinist Jennifer Koh, and guitarist David Starobin.

Stephen Hough
Stephen Hough and Carlos Kalmar at Grant Park Hough is one of the best-known concert pianists in the world, having performed on myriad major stages as a recitalist and concerto soloist. The British artist’s recordings have been honored with Grammy nominations and Gramophone awards; he’s also a composer, notably of a cello concerto for Steven Isserlis, and masses performed in London at both Westminster Abbey and Westminster Cathedral. Hough writes and blogs about both music and theology, and teaches at conservatories in London and Manchester. (And he’s come out in favor of short concerts, saying that all classical performances should be 80 minutes or less.) Hough will return to the Grant Park Music Festival to play Brahms’ Piano Concerto #1 under the baton of Carlos Kalmar. We think of Kalmar as the artistic director and principal conductor of the GPMF, a musician the city welcomes back each summer; he’s also in his 14th season as music director of the Oregon Symphony, with which he’s made Grammy-nominated recordings and appeared on tour in 2011 at Carnegie Hall as part of the Spring for Music Festival. Kalmar also made recent debuts as a guest conductor with the Boston Symphony, San Francisco Symphony, and Chicago Symphony. Paired with Brahms concerto at Grant Park will be Zoltan Kodaly’s Dances of Galanta and some Brahms Hungarian Dances.

Placido Domingo
Los Angeles Opera WFMT is pleased to present a fiveweek series of performances from the Los Angeles Opera, starting in late July. The company is led by general director Placido Domingo and music director James Conlon. Domingo, for years one of the world’s leading operatic tenors, has turned in recent seasons to baritone roles; his interpretation of the title role of Verdi’s Macbeth leads off the LA series. He’s joined by soprano Ekaterina Semenchuk as Lady Macbeth and baritone Ildebrando D’Arcangelo as Banquo, with Conlon conducting. Future broadcasts will feature Offenbach’s Tales of Hoffmann with Vittorio Grigolo in the title role, and from the company’s 2015 season, a Figaro Trilogy: The Barber of Seville, The Marriage of Figaro, and by John Corigliano, The Ghosts of Versailles.
