The Guide
Dear Member, Greetings! At the beginning of last month, I was honored to take on the role of President and CEO for WTTW and WFMT. It is a great privilege to be joining this organization at such an exciting time of innovation and possibility. Like so many of you, I am a longtime fan and supporter of public media and classical music, and I’m looking forward to collaborating with you and our community to serve the Chicago area and beyond with the most trusted and exceptional content across all platforms. I will be in touch in a variety of ways in the coming year! In June on WTTW11 and wttw.com/watch, we bring you music specials from across the genres – from Frank Sinatra to Fleetwood Mac, Leonard Cohen to tenor Pasquale Esposito, and Foreigner to Perry Como. We celebrate LGBT Pride Month with Coming Out: A 50 Year History and Man in an Orange Shirt starring Vanessa Redgrave. (See page 7 for the full list of related programming.) Also, Nature takes us inside the mysterious minds of our pets; the legendary political talk show Firing Line returns with a new host; NOVA looks into the causes of epic hurricanes; the three-part series In Plain Sight tells the gripping true story of a serial killer in 1950s Scotland and the intrepid policeman determined to get his man; a new documentary recalls a Chicago advertising firm (and its visionary leader Tom Burrell) who broke the industry’s African American color barrier in the 1960s; and we conclude the month with a star-studded adaptation of Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None, featuring Aidan Turner (Poldark). Be sure to activate your WTTW Passport subscription so you can watch these programs and many more, anytime and anywhere. On wttw.com, we take you back in time to the tumultuous year of 1968 as we mark the fiftieth anniversary of the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy. On a lighter note, as The Great British Baking Show challenges a new group of talented amateur bakers, we’ll serve up the recipes! And are you confused about whodunit, or how the brilliant Morse figured it out? Recap episodes of Endeavour. On 98.7WFMT, wfmt.com/listen, and the WFMT app, we’ll celebrate the approach of summer with live concerts from the Grant Park Music Festival in Millennium Park as artistic director Carlos Kalmar conducts three specials live from Pritzker Pavilion in June. The 2018 Lyric Opera of Chicago season continues this month beginning with Bizet’s melodious The Pearl Fishers and ending with Gounod’s melodramatic Faust. Peter DuBois, host of With Heart and Voice, and WFMT’s Dennis Moore will celebrate Father’s Day with special music, and Carl Grapentine will have his annual first-day-of-summer show. A few days later, DuBois is back with an edition of With Heart and Voice that he calls Summertime, and the Listening Is Easy. On wfmt.com this month, we’ll visit the Chicago Botanic Gardens to ask specialists how music might help our gardens grow, and visit a curious plant that dances. And stay connected to WFMT’s Facebook page to watch live video interviews with artists and audiences from the Grant Park Music Festival lawn throughout the summer. We hope you enjoy the beginning of summer on WTTW and WFMT, and thank you for your valued and continuing support. Sincerely,
Sandra Cordova Micek President & CEO

• Daily Radio Programming Programmer’s Picks Bill McGlaughlin on American Masters
Music for Gay Pride Weekend
Elbio Barilari Visits Musical Soccer Matches
Amid the pop and rock revolutions of the 1950s and ’60s, classical composers were also creating significant music. Bill McGlaughlin returns to a favorite Exploring Music theme with another edition of American Masters, mid-20th century this time.
Larry Johnson offers a one-hour edition of Arias and Songs with music by Tchaikovsky, Copland, and Menotti, along with excerpts from the 2017 opera Fellow Travelers, and songs from La Cage aux Folles and Victor/Victoria.
Music and sport collide as Elbio devotes an edition of Fiesta! to music inspired by the game of soccer. We’ll hear from artists including the Assad brothers, Paquito D’Rivera, Astor Piazzolla, Carlos Gardel – and the legendary soccer star Pelé.

Mariusz Kwiecien
Lyric Opera: The Pearl Fishers If opera lovers knew Bizet’s Carmen only from the Toreador Song, they’d be missing an awful lot. Likewise, those who’ve heard only the famous tenor-baritone duet from his earlier opera The Pearl Fishers are also missing a great deal: all the rest of this exotic show’s beautiful music. Lyric Opera remedied that for its audience during the 2017-18 season. Performing the duet “Au fond du temple saint” in its production were tenor Matthew Polenzani as Nadir and baritone Mariusz Kwiecien as Zurga; these characters swear to value their longtime friendship in spite of both being in love with the same woman, the priestess Leila, portrayed by Marina Rebeka. Lyric’s music director, Sir Andrew Davis, conducts; Lisa Flynn and Lyric’s Roger Pines co-host the broadcast.

Relevant Tones in Boston New Music Gathering is an annual three-day conference dedicated to the performance and creation of new concert music. Held previously in Bowling Green, Ohio; Baltimore; and San Francisco, the conference moves this year to Boston’s Berklee College of Music. Seth Boustead, host of Relevant Tones, will visit the conference to sample the music and to hear a keynote address on the conference’s 2018 theme of accessibility from vocalist and performance artist Helga Davis, host of Q2. While he’s in Boston, Seth will also check out the Boston Modern Orchestra Project, founded in 1996 to connect new music with new audiences. Performing often in Boston’s Jordan Hall and at the Tanglewood Festival, the BMOP has also toured extensively, and in 2008 launched its own recording label, BMOP/sound. Seth will be sampling the group’s newest recordings and airing them for the first time.

Puccini’s Turandot from Lyric The enduring popularity of Turandot stems partly from its exotic setting in ancient China, which leads to colorful scenery and costuming, and especially from the beauty of its arias and choruses. The story line and characterizations may be implausible and even borderline offensive to modern audiences, but the music overcomes all. At Lyric Opera late last year, Lyric brought back Turandot in a production conducted by music director Sir Andrew Davis. In the title role was Ryan Opera Center alumna Amber Wagner, who was performing only her second-time interpretation of the pitiless Chinese princess, having made her role debut earlier last year in Vancouver. Tenor Stefano La Colla made his Lyric Opera debut in the role of Calaf, the “unknown prince” who is obsessed with winning Turandot. Maria Agresta sings the part of Liù, and Andrea Silvestrelli portrays the exiled king Timur.

Samuel Adams
New Music from the CSO and Samuel Adams Samuel Adams and Elizabeth Ogonek are composers-in-residence at the Chicago Symphony and curators of the orchestra’s MusicNOW series. At subscription concerts in March 2017, Adams’ work for large orchestra and electronic sounds called many words of love was premiered under Riccardo Muti’s direction. Inspired by a musical motive of Schubert’s – from the song “Der Lindenbaum” in Winterreise – the new work features a kind of underlying pulse of electronic sounds, activated via a specially-wired snare drum. In notes for CSO Sounds & Stories on the cso.org website, Adams noted that he didn’t want the electronica to overwhelm the orchestral sound or intrude upon it; instead, he hoped that the orchestra would stand out on its own, with the electronic sounds enhancing the acoustic instruments. The featured soloist on this concert was pianist Mitsuko Uchida, playing Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 3; to conclude, Muti led a performance of Schumann’s Symphony No. 4.

Opening Night from Grant Park! Opening the 2018 Grant Park Music Festival at Pritzker Pavilion in Millennium Park will be the Grant Park Orchestra and Chorus, artistic director and principal conductor Carlos Kalmar, and guest baritone Dashon Burton. Kalmar will open with Magiya (Magic) by American composer Sean Shepherd, continue with Haydn’s Symphony No. 99, and conclude with the Biblical cantata Belshazzar’s Feast by Sir Williams Walton. First heard at the Leeds Festival in 1931, Belshazzar is based on the famous Hebrew Bible story about the Babylonian captivity of the Israelites, and the Babylonian king terrified by the mysterious, miraculous “handwriting on the wall.” The British poet and journalist Sir Osbert Sitwell constructed the text from the Book of Daniel and the Psalms. Dave Schwan will host WFMT’s live broadcast.

Bel Canto from Lyric: I Puritani The story of the star-crossed lovers, Romeo and Juliet, told by Shakespeare and quite a good many others, has a kind of parallel in Vincenzo Bellini’s opera I Puritani, except instead of warring families, the background here is an actual war: the English Civil War of the mid-17th century. On one side, soldiers and aristocrats supporting King Charles I; on the other side, the uncompromising rebels who became known as Puritans, and who had an impact on early American history as well as that of their native Britain. (Apologies to historians for that vast oversimplification of the struggle.) The heroine of I Puritani, Elvira, is in the Puritan camp; her lover, Arturo, is fighting on the Royalist side. Unlike the tale of Romeo and Juliet, this one has a happy ending: the rival factions end up supporting, not crushing, the hopes and future happiness of the lovers. Albina Shagimuratova is Elvira and Lawrence Brownlee is Arturo in a performance filled with elaborate and beautiful singing in the true bel canto tradition.
