PUBLIC TELEVISION & PUBLIC RADIO FOR ROCHESTER

SEPTEMBER 2018

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 17 AT 9PM ON WXXI-TV WXXI remembers the late Wendell Castle with this posthumous documentary that captures the life of the father of the American Crafts and Art Furniture movements. A master furniture maker, designer, sculptor, and educator, Wendell challenged the art world by bridging sculpture with furniture design. Through his own words and interviews with his family, friends, and colleagues, you’ll learn about his early years as an artist, his creative process, and the vision for his work. You’ll also have the unique opportunity to see first-hand Wendell at work, as the film follows him on the creation of his “Dizzy” chair – from his original drawings to the finished work of art. It was one of the last chairs Wendell created. Major funding for Wendell Castle: A Portrait is generously provided by Nocon and Associates, a private wealth advisory practice of Ameriprise Financial Services, Incorporated. And, by the Sands Family Foundation, Waldron Rise Foundation, Lilliputian Foundation, Louise Epstein, Tom and Ebets Judson, Martin Messinger, and Mimi and Sam Tilton.

DEAR FRIEND, We recently had the opportunity to showcase the critical work of our education department with New York State Commissioner of Education MaryEllen Elia and members of the New York State Board of Regents while they were visiting Rochester on their “Cultural Education” tour.

Norm Silverstein

We were able to spotlight the training we do for educators, the learning resources and online support we offer, the family engagement events and community outreach we host, as well as our work with the Corporation for Public Broadcasting’s American Graduate initiative and our Move to Include partnership with the Golisano Foundation. We also screened a six-minute video that summarized our educational programming and outreach. I encourage you to watch the video online at WXXI.org/education. While at the station, the Education Commissioner joined Hélène Biandudi Hofer for an episode of Need to Know, and was also a guest on Connections with Evan Dawson, sharing her thoughts on teacher evaluations and standardized testing, how poverty and education intersect, the teacher shortage and more. Both of those programs are archived on WXXINews.org for you to access. As September is upon us and a new school year lies ahead, WXXI is also proud to premiere our newest documentary about the extraordinary career of the late Wendell Castle. The designer, artist and educator continually pushed the boundaries of inventiveness, imagination and sustained innovation. Premiering Monday, September 17 at 9 p.m. on WXXI-TV, Wendell Castle: A Portrait provides an in-depth look into his art and teaching career. WXXI’s production team spent the better part of a year putting this film together. The unprecedented access and insight into his creative process makes for a fascinating hour of viewing. September also marks our biennial event – our “Open House” on September 15! That’s when we open our doors and invite the community to tour our facility, meet our news reporters and hosts, participate in family fun activities including meet-and-greets with PBS Kids characters like Cat in the Hat and Buddy the Dinosaur, and much more! This muchanticipated event helps showcase everything we do on every floor of the station – and if you’ve never attended one of our past open houses, I encourage you to spend some time getting to know the station that you help make possible. By the way – if you were among those affected by the technical problems we experienced last month with our television transmitter, thank you for your patience. Our engineers worked literally around-the-clock to resolve the problems, with additional teams coming from as far away as Kansas City. We take access to our programming seriously and regret the disruptions to over-the-air viewers.

Sincerely,

Norm Silverstein norms@wxxi.org | @normWXXI

NEWS&EVENTS

Q&A WITH A WXXI UNDERWRITER ROCHESTER CITY BALLET (RCB) began as a student company in 1987 and in 2004,

NICHOLE GANTSHAR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

upon the death of founder Timothy Draper, the professional company offered its first contracts. The company has grown from those first four contracts to a company of 17 dancers with a subscription series at Nazareth College, a two-production residency in Canandaigua, and annual performances of The Nutcracker with the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra. Executive Director Nichole Gantshar shares more. Q. What can audiences expect from the upcoming season? We open our Nazareth season with Tutus & Tango, a series of three short ballets, September 28-30th. We’ll show off the company’s range with a classical piece, Raymonda Act III, company member Benjamin Tabe’s neoclassical The Golden Hour, and Quizás, a contemporary piece by Artistic Director David Palmer to tango music. The Nutcracker follows in November and December, and then Palmer’s Dangerous Liaisons in March and Sleeping Beauty in May. Q. Typical production timeline? Conversations about a season begin two years in advance and rehearsals begin at least four weeks before a performance. When a show opens on Friday, we move into the theatre the Sunday before and prepare all the technical elements for the show. Most productions run over a weekend, except for The Nutcracker and Sleeping Beauty. Q. Favorite show? My favorite performance recently was FLEXN, a narrative ballet using FLEX dance by Peter Sellars and Regg Roc Gray at the Armory. Q. Dance performance has changed significantly over the years and people may be surprised to learn that ballet is no exception. What has the RCB done in recent years to address the evolving landscape? RCB has been known as a contemporary ballet company for many years. Actually, it’s our embrace of the classics this year – with Raymonda and Sleeping Beauty – that is new for us. Our tango ballet is a great example of expanding the ballet vocabulary. Rochestercityballet.org

THE MAYO CLINIC: FAITH - HOPE - SCIENCE TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25 AT 9 P.M. ON WXXI-TV

Learn about the history and groundbreaking medical work of the Mayo Clinic in a new two-hour, documentary executive-produced and co-directed by Ken Burns. Featuring Interviews with patients, including John McCain and the Dalai Lama, the film tells the story of William Worrall Mayo, an English immigrant who began practicing medicine with his sons Will and Charlie in Rochester, Minnesota. When a deadly tornado tore through their small community in 1883, the Mayos took charge of recovery efforts, enlisting the help of the nearby Sisters of Saint Francis to care for patients. Afterwards, Mother Alfred Moes, the leader of the convent, told Dr. Mayo she had a vision from God that instructed her to build a hospital, with him as its director. She believed it would become “world renowned for its medical arts.”

WXXI News’ coverage of the midterm elections begins in September with two special series. The first is America on the Line, which kicks off September 10 at 8 p.m. The series builds on Indivisible, public radio’s massive national convening that spanned the first 100 days of the Trump administration. An all-star team of analysts, strategists and reporters will answer the question: What happened today, and why? America on the Line airs Monday through Thursday at 8 p.m. from September 10 through November 8. The Democracy Test from Truth, Politics and Power is the second series, airing Saturdays at 3 p.m. September 22 through October 27. Longtime Talk of the Nation host Neal Conan and political historian Heather Richardson Cox explore the state of our democracy with a series of six new programs. Neal and Heather, along with their guests, will examine what’s unique in this moment of our nation’s history, what brought us here, and what it would take to emerge with a stronger understanding and expression of our democratic ideals. Please note: AM 1370 will preempt Ted Radio Hour during this time period.

GAELYNN LEA IN CONCERT

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 22 AT 9 P.M. IRON SMOKE DISTILLERY’S WORLD FAMOUS SPIRIT FACTORY, WATERING ROOM AND SIDE SHOW 111 PARCE AVENUE, SUITE 5B IN FAIRPORT

WRUR is pleased to present Gaelynn Lea in concert at Iron Smoke Distillery on Saturday, September 22. When Gaelynn won NPR Music’s 2016 Tiny Desk Contest, her two decades as a hardworking and talented musician finally crystallized in a beautiful moment of national recognition. It was also just the beginning of a grand adventure. With the wind of her award at their backs, Gaelynn and her husband Paul sold their house in Northern Minnesota, quit their jobs, bought a van, and hit the road. Gaelynn’s new album Learning How To Stay comes out September 7, and she has lined up tour dates to support it – including this stop in Rochester. WRUR Different Radio is proud to be the presenter of this special performance, which is free! Drinks are available for purchase at Iron Smoke’s bar. For more information, visit WXXI.org/events.
