Chicago from the Air - WTTW · musical heritage of Native American tribes who inhabited the Chicago area. Finally, WFMT hosts and staff will share their favorite Thanksgiving recipes

2 NOVEMBER 2020

Dear Member,

Imagine if you could soar, swoop, dive, and spiral through and around Chicago’s

landmarks, neighborhoods, and suburbs – with a familiar voice providing engaging

commentary along the way and from the comfort of your home. I’m excited to say

that, this month, we bring you Chicago from the Air.

This new special, filmed entirely with a drone camera

and narrated by our very own Geoffrey Baer, makes this

dream a reality on Friday, November 19 at 7:30 pm on

all WTTW platforms. On page 4, Geoffrey and producer

Eddie Griffin reveal what it was like to film our city from

this thrilling vantage point.

Also in November on WTTW, get ready for Thanksgiving

with two holiday specials courtesy of our popular cooking

programs. In A Chef’s Life, Vivian Howard serves up the

best of her Southern cooking heritage and America’s Test Kitchen gathers the entire cast to recount personal holiday memories and reveal their

all-time favorite recipes for the occasion. To make sure you’re covered for your own

Thanksgiving meal (and creative ways to use the leftovers), look for more ideas from

recipes we’ll show all month long on wttw.com.

To honor the Thanksgiving season, WFMT will play music by American composers

and performers throughout the month, plus Dvorak’s iconic New World Symphony.

Arias and Songs will highlight the holiday season with three special episodes, With Heart and Voice will present a Thanksgiving special, and Exploring Music with Bill McGlaughlin will focus on Aaron Copland and other American masters. On wfmt.com,

celebrate Thanksgiving with a playlist of American autumnal works and explore the

musical heritage of Native American tribes who inhabited the Chicago area. Finally,

WFMT hosts and staff will share their favorite Thanksgiving recipes and music that

goes with them.

In this month of Thanksgiving, we are grateful for your ongoing support of WTTW

and WFMT.

Sincerely,

Sandra Cordova Micek

President & CEO

4 NOVEMBER 2020

On Thursday, November 19 at 7:30 pm, don’t miss Chicago

from the Air, a new WTTW special and companion website.

With producer-director Eddie Griffin and a team of experts

piloting a drone camera, Geoffrey Baer shows you the city and

its surrounding suburbs from an exciting new perspective, high

in the sky! Geoffrey and Eddie explain how they accomplished

it, and give you some hints of what you will see during the flight.

Q: How did you come up with the concept for this new show?

Geoffrey Baer: We’re always looking for new and compelling

ways to explore the Chicago area – by boat, antique car, bi-

cycle, ‘L’ train, on foot, and even through a “time machine.”

Filming with a drone – high above and sweeping around the

places and spaces of our great city – provides a really thrilling

Chicago from the Air, writer and host Geoffrey Baer

2020 NOVEMBER 5

perspective. An added bonus? It’s the ul-

timate in social distancing! Talk about

finding a silver lining.

Q: What’s the journey?

Baer: We divided the program into three

parts, each with its own title:

“On and Off the Grid” explores Chicago’s

iconic street grid. We follow how it de-

veloped and spread, and the many plac-

es where it is interrupted – for example,

by diagonal streets that follow ancient

Native American trails.

“Doin’ Work” gives audiences an aeri-

al view of Chicago’s sprawling industry

and infrastructure. From the air, you can

vividly see how it reshaped the entire re-

gion, and it has an awe-inspiring kind of

beauty.

“City in a Garden” is the final section,

and where Chicago’s magnificence really

takes center stage. We soar above forest

preserves, parks, and the lakefront, and

marvel at a diverse array of houses of

worship.

Q: Describe the technical process of film-

ing with a drone.

Eddie Griffin: The filming of Chicago

from the Air was equal parts freeing and

challenging. On one hand, we had the

freedom to film from any camera angle

we could imagine because we weren’t

bound by normal obstacles like walls,

fences, and buildings. If we needed to

fly over something…we just flew over it!

But it was also incredibly challenging,

because there’s a high level of risk and

responsibility you take on when putting

a drone in the air. Drones may look like

toys, but they’re actually small aircraft.

We needed to assure everyone on the

ground that we weren’t going to cause

any damages or injuries. We also had

to keep a close eye on the weather fore-

cast, of course, because a sudden gust of

wind can send the drone dangerously off

course. And if anything happens to the

drone, you also lose your camera. That

could sink a documentary very quickly!

Q: How did you choose which stories and

locations to feature?

Baer: I was particularly interested in

how the view from the sky helps us un-

derstand our familiar surroundings in

new ways, and lets us examine things in

detail that we can’t see from the ground.

A couple of examples: how Chicago’s ar-

terial streets trace section lines laid out

by early American surveyors to settle the

West, and “ghost” infrastructure where

abandoned rail lines and roads have

shaped neighborhoods. I also wanted

to fulfill a fantasy of really flying, so we

dive off the edge of a 400-foot deep quar-

ry in Thornton, and get right up close to

statues perched atop buildings that can

normally be seen only from far away.

Griffin: We always kept in mind that

there are plenty of breathtaking drone

shots available on the internet. But they

sometimes leave you wanting more. Our

job was to keep the audience’s attention

focused for the full 60 minutes of the

show, and to do that, we had to make

sure our shot selections were rooted in

great storytelling. It can be eye candy,

but it has to be engaging.

Q: What do you hope audiences take

away from Chicago from the Air?

Baer: As with all of my shows, I love it

when people say, “I’ve lived here all my

life, and I never knew that!” or, “I’m a re-

cent transplant and this helped me really

get to know my adopted home.” This spe-

cial might achieve that goal more than

any other we have ever done, because

unless you’re a bird, you truly have never

seen Chicago in this way before!

Griffin: I hope audiences discover the

same thing we took away from making

the show – that Chicago is both super

interconnected and beautifully diverse.

We’re not just one type of city, and we

don’t have just one aesthetic. We’re an

industrial city, we’re a city of nature, and

we’re a city of neighborhoods. It’s so easy

to forget that when you’re experiencing

Chicago at ground level, but it’s obvious

from the air. ■

This interview has been edited and condensed

for clarity.

This documentary reveals how the elimination of public housing led to instability on the city’s South and West sides, and explores potential solutions for residents. Speaking directly with gang members, community activists, gunshot victims, and community leaders, the film opens a rare historical window into the systematic creation of neighborhoods plagued by violent crime.

From the CSO’s Archives: The First 130 YearsDuring the early 1970s, Sir Georg Solti recorded several Mahler symphonies and also Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis. From 1977, this recording features the CSO Chorus with soprano Lucia Popp, mezzo Yvonne Minton, tenor Mallory Walker, and bass Gwynne Howell, and a violin solo from then-concertmaster Victor Aitay. There’ll also be an evening of stellar soloists: pianist Artur Rubinstein (Rachmaninoff), violinist Jascha Heifetz (Tchaikovsky), and cellist Jacqueline du Pré (Dvorák). Two more special soloists spotlight the orchestra’s first Grammy awards: soprano Leontyne Price and pianist Sviatoslav Richter; also hear Bartok’s Music for Strings, Percussion, and Celesta. Finally, the week of Thanksgiving features another Solti performance from the early 1990s: Haydn’s oratorio The Creation, featuring the CSO Chorus.

In the Spotlight

From OperaDelawareIn 2019, OperaDelaware presented a festival that included the contemporary opera Scalia/Ginsburg by Derrick Wang. The work focuses on the friendship between Supreme Court Justices Antonin Scalia and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, whose politics were very different but who were brought together by their mutual love of opera and their mutual respect for the law. Wang’s text is taken from the Justices’ actual legal rulings and opinions, and the composer’s musical inspiration, he said, came from “a long line of operatic tradition” from Mozart to Puccini. As a bonus, also enjoy Trial by Jury, an 1875 musical farce that was Gilbert & Sullivan’s first major success.
