Dear Member,

October brings back new seasons of audience favorites and some exciting debut programming. Check, Please! returns for its 16th season, and you can catch in on WTTW11 or on wttw.com/checkplease. Chicago Tonight, our cross-platform newsmagazine, will bring you wide-ranging coverage of every aspect of the upcoming election with live candidate forums, top-flight political reporting, and a

comprehensive online voters’ guide. And we’re excited to premiere two all-new specials: an electrifying Soundstage concert to broadcast on PBS stations across the country featuring chart-topping singer/songwriter Regina Spektor, whom you may know as the singer/songwriter of the theme for the popular Netflix series Orange is the New Black; and a new cross-platform special, Navy Pier: A Century of Reinvention with Geoffrey Baer, which will reveal the fascinating history – and future – of one of Chicago’s most popular tourist destinations. Tune in for the television documentary, and visit wttw.com/navypier for a mobile video tour of the Pier with Geoffrey as guide, an historical timeline, an analysis of the sustainability aspect of the development project, a library of web-exclusive videos, and a place where you can share photos and memories

of your family’s time on Navy Pier.

On WTTW11 and wttw.com, Poldark and Indian Summers continue on Sunday evenings, and new this month, an engaging series that was a big hit in the U.K. – The Durrells on Corfu. Do You Speak Chopin? will follow pianists in a prestigious international competition, and debuts on WTTW11/wttw.com and as a radio documentary on 98.7WFMT/wfmt.com. PBS NewsHour serves up live coverage and analysis of the Presidential and Vice Presidential debates, and several specials recall crucial elections of the past. Meet a girls’ soccer team from Chicago’s South Side endeavoring to stay In the Game, Nature takes us into the worlds of Super Hummingbirds and Africa’s Gentle Giants, NOVA traces human evolution, and Frontline presents more incisive reporting on ISIS. For something completely different, Evanston native Bill Murray receives the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, American Masters focuses on television trailblazer Norman Lear, and we get a backstage pass to the making of Broadway’s hottest show, Hamilton.

On 98.7WFMT and wfmt.com, our long-standing partnership with Lyric Opera of Chicago continues as Lisa Flynn and Roger Pines co-host live presentations of Wagner’s Das Rheingold – opening night of the new Lyric season – and Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor. We’ll welcome back the star of Das Rheingold, bass-baritone Eric Owens, for new editions of Eric on Opera on Saturday afternoons, and singers from Lyric’s Ryan Opera Center for a new season of studio recitals. Conductor Michael Tilson Thomas and his San Francisco Symphony are back with a new season on Thursday nights. And Kerry Frumkin welcomes two extraordinary quartets for live Impromptus during October: the award-winning young players of the Calidore String Quartet, and the internationally-renowned Danish String Quartet, both visiting Chicago this fall. Listen on 98.7WFMT, wfmt.com, or through our Apple and Android apps, and find new stories covering the world of classical music and the arts on our website at wfmt.com every day.

Thank you for your continuing support.

Sincerely,

Dance Center Offers 2-for-1 Tickets for Nora ChipaumireThe Dance Center of Columbia College Chicago welcomes choreographer-performer Nora Chipaumire

with her most recent artistic investigation of the black body, Africa, and the self – portrait of myself as my father – co-commissioned by the Dance Center. Performed by Chipaumire, Senegalese dancer Kaolack (who danced with Compagnie Jant-Bi for many years) and Shamar Watt, the evening-length portrait consid-ers the African male through the lens of cultural traditions, colonialism, Christianity, liberation struggles—and how these ideas might impact the African family and society on a global scale. The work takes place within a boxing ring and invites the audience to sit close as well as at a distance in witnessing the performance.

Performances are October 20-22 at 7:30 pm at the Dance Center, 1306 S. Michigan Avenue in Chicago. Seating for these perfor-mances is general admission. WTTW members may purchase two tickets for the price of one, subject to availability, for any per-formance by calling (312) 369-8330 and using the code 24828. For more information, visit colum.edu/dancecenterpresents.

orchestra’s “An American in Paris” at the McAninch Arts Center.One hundred voices, orchestra, an award-winning pianist, and two soloists unite in the riveting songs

from Porgy and Bess including “Summertime,” “I Got Plenty O’Nuttin,” “Bess You Is My Woman Now,” and “It Ain’t Necessarily So.” This special concert features the 100-voice Northwest Indiana Symphony Chorus.

2-for-1 Tickets to “Oliver!”The Saint Sebastian Players (SSP) open their

36th season with the Tony Award-winning musical Oliver! with music and lyrics by Lionel Bart. Bringing the beloved Charles Dickens novel to life, this wild adventure through Victorian England spotlights the young or-phaned Oliver Twist navigating London’s under-world of theft and violence, searching for a home, a family, and, most important, love. When a boy named the Artful Dodger picks up Oliver on the street, he brings him to join a gang of child pickpockets, led by the conniving but charismatic Fagin. When Oliver is falsely accused of a theft he didn’t commit, a kind and wealthy gentleman rescues him, to the dismay of Fagin’s violent sidekick, Bill Sykes. Caught in the middle is the warmhearted Nancy, who is trapped under Bill’s thumb, but desperate to help Oliver.

Performances of Oliver! take place October 21-November 13, Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 pm and Sundays at 2:00 pm at St. Bonaventure, 1625 W. Diversey, at Marshfield just west of Ashland, in Chicago. Free parking is available in two lots. WTTW members may purchase two full-price tickets for the price of one, subject to availability, to any performance by sending an email to: [email protected] and mentioning code WTTW.

Dream OnIn an epic road trip, political comedian John Fugelsang retraces the journey of Alexis de Tocqueville, whose study of the United States in 1831 came to defi ne the country as a place where anyone, of any background, could climb the ladder of economic opportunity. Fugelsang explores whether Tocqueville’s vision is alive and well today, or whether George Carlin was right when he famously quipped, “It’s the American Dream because you have to be asleep to believe it.”

20 OCTOBER 2016

Lyric Opera of Chicago: Das Rheingold on Opening NightLyric Opera’s all-new production of Wagner’s Ring cycle – a monumental creation that the company calls one of the greatest musical achievements in Western culture – will begin with Das Rheingold, The Rhine-Gold, the prelude opera of the cycle. Here we meet Wotan, king of the gods, and his adversary Alberich, ruler of the kingdom of the dwarves, who steals the sacred Rhine River gold and forges from it an all-powerful ring. When Wotan steals the ring, Alberich curses it, and the stage is set for struggle and tragedy that will eventually engulf all the protagonists. Das Rheingold opens with beautiful singing from the three Rhinemaidens; it ends with the majestic Entry of the Gods into Valhalla, their new home in the clouds, not knowing that it and they are doomed to destruction. David Pountney is the stage director for Lyric’s new Ring. Music director Sir Andrew Davis is the conductor, and the cast is headed by bass-baritone Eric Owens as Wotan. WFMT’s Lisa Flynn and Lyric’s Roger Pines will co-host the live opening-night broadcast.

2016 OCTOBER 21

New season, new day, new time for Ryan Opera Center recitalsThe young singers of Lyric’s Ryan Opera Center continue to visit WFMT to record highly-varied song recitals in the presence of a studio audience. The new day and time for these presentations: the first Sunday of each month at 7:00 pm. We begin with mezzo-soprano Lindsay Metzger and bass-baritone Bradley Smoak, with pianists Mario Antonio Marra and Craig Terry. On the program is Beethoven’s song-cycle An die ferne Geliebte, some rarely-heard songs by Sibelius, and music by Leonard Bernstein.


From the San Francisco OperaThe WFMT Radio Network’s offerings from the San Francisco Opera conclude this month with three stellar presentations. From the company’s archives comes a 1982 performance of Poulenc’s tragedy Dialogues of the Carmelites with Leontyne Price, Régine Crespin, Carol Vaness, and Eric Halfvarson. A production from the just-concluded 2015-16 season of Verdi’s Don Carlo stars Ana Maria Martinez, a favorite of Chicago opera audiences, in the role of Elizabeth; other cast members are Michael Fabiano, Mariusz Kwiecien, and René Pape. Based on a play by Schiller, Don Carlo is set at the colorful 16th-century court of Spain’s King Philip II. Finally there’s Janacek’s powerful drama Jenufa, with Malin Byström in the title role and Karita Mattila in the role of Kostelnicka; Czech conductor Jiri Belohlavek is on the podium, and the production is sung in its original Czech.

More from the San Francisco SymphonyIn 1995, conductor-composer-educator Michael Tilson Thomas was appointed music director of the San Francisco Symphony, and he is now the longest-tenured MD of any major American orchestra. During his years in San Francisco, he and the orchestra have been especially singled out for innovative concert planning that features a great deal of American music, and for bringing new audiences to both traditional and non-traditional symphony concerts. Their recordings on the SFS Media label, including a complete Mahler cycle, have also won acclaim. The WFMT Radio Network is presenting a new 13-week series of broadcast concerts, most of which will be led by MTT. The leadoff concert spotlights a Beethoven interpretation from guest pianist Leif Ove Andsnes, plus music by former Chicago Symphony composer-in-residence Mason Bates.

An Anniversary for the Hess ConcertsFor almost four decades now, the Dame Myra Hess Memorial Concerts have brought free lunchtime concerts to audiences in Preston Bradley Hall at the Cultural Center, and to radio and streaming audiences in metropolitan Chicago and around the world. To celebrate the series’ 39th anniversary, the International Music Foundation has invited as its featured performer Alex Klein, newly re-appointed principal oboist of the Chicago Symphony. Joined by pianist Kuang-Hao Huang, Klein will play works by Bach, Nielsen, William Bolcom, and the English composer-organist Thomas Attwood Walmisley (1814-1856). Dave Schwan will host WFMT’s live broadcast.

WFMT SalonA projected new series of live broadcasts will bring together musical and theatrical performers to appear in a variety of unusual Chicago-area settings. The pilot broadcast will take place at the Uptown Underground, 4707 N Broadway, a venue dedicated to burlesque, cabaret, music, magic, and comedy. Our guests will be vocalist Bethany Thomas, the innovative Kaia String Quartet, and storyteller Jack Zimmerman. Robbie Ellis, MC for the pilot, says: “I’m tickled pink at the idea of hosting an evening like this. We’ve got a great mix of performers, we’ve got a bar, we’ve got a venue with a great personality, and it promises to be a fantastic night out.” More information about WFMT Salon will be forthcoming at wfmt.com.

30 OCTOBER 2016

From the CSO: James MacMillan and Cynthia YehAppointed principal percussionist of the Chicago Symphony in 2007, Taiwanese native Cynthia Yeh studied at the University of British Columbia and at Philadelphia’s Temple University; she led the percussion section of the San Diego Symphony from 2004 to 2007. Under the guest conductorship of Carlos Miguel Prieto, Yeh performed a percussion concerto by the Scottish composer James MacMillan entitled Veni, Veni, Emmanuel. MacMillan based this work on a plainsong chant with that same Latin title, translated as O Come, O Come, Emmanuel and associated with the season of Advent. The solo part requires some 25 different percussion instruments, including tympani, drums, marimba, and gongs.

Two from GlimmerglassNew York State’s Glimmerglass Festival has been called a one-of-a-kind event: It combines opera, musical theater, concerts, master classes, and more in a scenic venue between the Adirondack and Catskill mountains. Join us for two highly contrasted recent performances from Glimmerglass, beginning with Stephen Sondheim’s Sweeney Todd. Greer Grimsley will be featured as the notorious Demon Barber of Fleet Street, with Luretta Bybee as Mrs. Lovett and John DeMain conducting. Then there’s a seldom-heard Rossini work, La Gazza Ladra or The Thieving Magpie, remembered for its overture but little else. Recognizing the brilliant score and sensational plot of this dark comedy, Glimmerglass and its music director, Joseph Colaneri, performed it with a cast headed by Rachele Gilmore and Dale Travis.
