2 FEBRUARY 2016
Dear Member,
In February, WTTW presents a wide variety of content to mark and celebrate Black History Month. We’ll feature a new documentary recalling Chicago’s legendary black comedy club, All Jokes Aside, and a new Independent Lens chronicling the Black Panther movement. We will also bring you revealing profiles of “King of the Blues,” B.B. King, and the trailblazing ballerina Misty Copeland, along with tributes to Memphis Soul, Women of Soul, and music legend Ray Charles as part of the In Performance at the
White House series. To ensure that you don’t miss any of this dedicated programming, please turn to page 7, and our Black History Month site on wttw.com.
Also this month on WTTW11 and wttw.com, Downton Abbey and Mercy Street continue to enthrall audiences on Sunday nights. The reporting team from PBS NewsHour is busy, providing coverage of the Iowa Caucuses; the New Hampshire primary; and PBS and WETA, the Washington DC station, will produce the Democratic presidential debate from Milwaukee on February 11 at 8:00 pm. NewsHour co-anchors Gwen Ifill and Judy Woodruff will moderate. WTTW’s digital series Chat, Please! comes back to serve up a rich and varied combination plate of conversations with local restaurateurs, and the season finale of Check, Please! reveals where some
of the city’s most prominent local chefs like to dine in their free time. Discover which 2015 program garnered the most votes in our annual Viewers’ Choice Bowl; watch as more notables explore their genealogy on Finding Your Roots; travel to the depths of the ocean with NOVA and to the far reaches of our solar system in the new animated kids series Ready Jet Go!; and enjoy a timely look at the storied career of composer Carole King on the heels of her induction into this year’s Kennedy Center Honors.
98.7WFMT and wfmt.com will celebrate film and cinema, and their relationship to music, in February. Chicago Tribune film critic Michael Phillips will share portions of his favorite film scores, and on the weekend leading up to the Academy Awards, we’ll devote most of our music choices to music written for the movies. February also brings two more Lyric Opera opening nights, Richard Strauss’ Der Rosenkavalier and Gounod’s Romeo and Juliet. And visiting Levin Studio for live Impromptus will be mezzo-soprano Stephanie Blythe, Chicago A Cappella, the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, and violinist Gil Shaham with The Knights. You can stream all of this live, and explore companion coverage, on wfmt.com.
As always, thanks for your support, and for choosing to spend your time with us.
Sincerely,
Dan SchmidtPresident & CEO

An Audio Film FestivalAs we look forward to the Academy Awards February 28, WFMT welcomes Chicago Tribune film critic Michael Phillips to explore the wide and varied realm of music written for the silver screen during the 100 year-plus history of the moving-picture industry. Phillips will present daily segments discussing and playing some of his favorite pieces of film music. On the weekend of the Oscars we’ll devote most of our music programming to film scores and to musicians associated with Hollywood. Leading up to this weekend is a documentary by violinist Daniel Hope, The Hollywood Sound, profiling the European emigré musicians who found a new home in Hollywood during the 1930s and Forties.
The Film Score with Michael Phillips: Weekdays at 10:00 am and 5:00 pm; Weekends at 9:00 am and 5:00 pm
Oscars Weekend: Friday, February 26 through Sunday, February 28
The Hollywood Sound: Wednesday, February 24, 10:00 pm
Throughout the month
Exploring Music with Bill McGlaughlin: Topical ExplorationsA special schedule of Exploring Music on WFMT during February will highlight our observance of Black History Month and our celebration of film music. Two weeks on the topic Portraits in Black, Brown, and Beige honor works by African-American composers and performances by African-American artists. Sound Tracks traces film music from its very beginnings in the early days of cinematography. I Lost It at the Movies notes that there’s a soundtrack behind every great movie scene and a story behind every sound.

Wednesdays, 10:00 pm
Leonidas Kavakos and the New York Philharmonic Performing DutilleuxThe French composer Henri Dutilleux (1916-2013) gave evocative titles to a number of his works. In the case of L’Arbre des Songes (Tree of Dreams) for violin and orchestra, the title is not a tone-painting description, but rather a metaphor for the way the themes develop: ever growing and ever changing, like a tree putting out new branches, shedding and re-growing its leaves through the seasons. The four movements are played without pause, linked by contrasting interludes. The concerto was composed for Isaac Stern between 1983-85; he gave the world premiere in Paris. Violinist Leonidas Kavakos plays it with the New York Philharmonic under guest conductor Ivan Fischer.

Jascha Horenstein and Gustav MahlerBorn in 1898 in what is now Ukraine, Horenstein moved with his family to Vienna as a child, eventually studying theory and composition at the Vienna Academy. He conducted a variety of Austrian and German orchestras until forced to flee Nazi Germany in the 1930s; he settled in the United States and taught at New York’s New School for Social Research in between conducting engagements in the USA and Europe, remaining active until shortly before his death in 1973. Horenstein is especially remembered as an interpreter, in concert and on records, of the symphonies of Mahler. Henry Fogel has gathered these performances together and is presenting a multi-week mini-series on Collectors’ Corner to this noted interpreter.

Lyric Opera of Chicago Broadcasts Continuing with Der RosenkavalierAmanda Majeske, a Ryan Opera Center alumna, heads the cast as the Marschallin, a beautiful but aging Viennese noblewoman, and Sophie Koch portrays her young lover, Octavian, who will eventually fall in love with Sophie (Christina Landshamer), who’s actually supposed to marry the Marschallin’s country cousin, Baron Ochs (Matthew Rose). It all unfolds through the gorgeous music of the three acts of Der Rosenkavalier (The Knight of the Silver Rose). Always an audience favorite, this Richard Strauss masterwork is a nostalgic look at a world long gone, blending comedy with poignant refl ections on love and the passing of time. Edward Gardner conducts; Peter Van De Graaff and Roger Pines co-host WFMT’s live opening-night broadcast from the Civic Opera House.

Shanghai Spring: The Chinese ViolinThe Shanghai Spring International Music Festival was the locale for the world premiere of a famous Chinese concerto: The Butterfly Lovers for violin and orchestra. It is credited with contributing to the popularity of this iconic Western instrument in China. Its Asian parallel, the erhu, is one of China’s most important national instruments, growing from a folk instrument, a street musicians’ staple, to become an integral part of the typical Chinese orchestra. Host Paolo Pietropaolo will trace the history of these and other stringed instruments as we hear festival performances, incuding Tchaikovsky’s famous violin concerto. The Shanghai Spring series from the WFMT Radio Network continues through the end of February. It’s part of our heralding of Chinese New Year (February 8).

Live from the Met: Maria StuardaGaetano Donizetti composed three operas about England’s Tudor period: Anna Bolena, Roberto Devereux, and Maria Stuarda, in which Sondra Radvanovsky will perform the title role live from the Metropolitan Opera this month. Portraying Mary, Queen of Scots, she’s joined by Elza van den Heever as England’s Queen Elizabeth I. The central scene in this celebration of the bel-canto singing style is a lengthy confrontation and duet for the two queens. In real life they never met in person. Elizabeth kept Mary a prisoner for some two decades and finally executed her as a threat to her security on the English throne, but she never actually encountered her or spoke to her in person. Sir David McVicar directed the Met’s production, which is conducted by Riccardo Frizza.
