Is Your Brain Male or Female? New research suggests that the connections in men’s and women’s brains follow different patterns which may explain typical forms of male and female behavior.

The themes and events covered include the rise of cultural nationalism, the re-emergence of the separatist physical force tradition, the contested traditions of nationalism and unionism, the rise of organized labor, the role of women, the role of Irish America, and the influence of the diaspora and international political movements. EVENING 6:15 1916: The Irish Rebellion – Insurrection (Part 2 of 3) The story of the Rising itself; the way in which the clandestine and separatist Irish Republican Brotherhood infiltrated the Irish Volunteer Movement; the attempt to secure assistance from Britain’s enemy Germany; the arrest of Roger Casement and the botched gun-running off the coast of Ireland immediately before the Rising; the confusion surrounding the order and countermand for a call-up of the Irish Volunteers on Easter Sunday; British Intelligence awareness of what was planned, and an apparent lack of readiness to tackle what happened on Easter Monday. 7:30 1916: The Irish Rebellion – When Myth and History Rhyme (Part 3 of 3) The third and final part of the
series details the aftermath and response to the Rising in Ireland and abroad. The initial reaction of many Dubliners to the Rising gave way to a grudging respect that grew exponentially with the British response. The rebellion, while ostensibly a failure, created the conditions for a national revolution and changed the course of Irish history. 9:00 Cornerstones of Rock See Thurs. June 9 at 7:30 pm.

1916: The Irish Rebellion Narrated by actor Liam Neeson, this three-part series tells the dramatic story of the events that took place in Dublin during Easter of 1916, when a small group of poorly-armed Irish rebels took on the might of the British Empire. Although defeated militarily, this small group of men and women would wring a moral victory from the jaws of defeat and would inspire countless freedom struggles throughout the world. The documentary – featuring a combination of rarely seen archival footage, new segments filmed on location worldwide, and interviews with leading international experts – also tells the untold story of the central role Irish Americans played in the lead-up to the rebellion.

Known for its enduring commitment to tradition, artistic excellence, innovation, and vision, the festival features repertory that varies from standards of the classical era to new music of today. Kerry Frumkin hosts the broadcasts along with Festival artistic director Marc Neikrug. The producer is Louise Frank. Neikrug is also a composer, and a June broadcast will feature his new Acequias Quintet for guitar and strings.

Lyric Opera: Encore Broadcasts This month’s sequence of rebroadcasts from Lyric Opera’s justconcluded 2015-16 season begin with Alban Berg’s Wozzeck. Critic John Von Rhein talked with the production’s director, Sir David McVicar, shortly before the work opened last fall. The article pointed out that Wozzeck is a universal symbol of oppression; he’s a soldier mistreated by his superiors and betrayed by the woman he loves. McVicar relates the opera to Berg’s own experiences during World War I and “his need to tell a story about the dehumanizing, brutalizing effect of war.” In the weeks following Wozzeck, operatic tragedy gives way to ancient history and 19th-century romance, as we hear Renée Fleming in the title role of Franz Lehár’s operetta The Merry Widow and Amanda Majeski as the beautiful protagonist of Richard Strauss’ Der Rosenkavalier. Rounding out the schedule is Giuseppe Verdi’s first major success, Nabucco, freely based on the Biblical account of the Israelites’ Babylonian captivity. Nabucco is the source of one of Verdi’s most famous choruses, Va Pensiero, also called Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves.

The duo known as Mustard’s Retreat, singer-songwriters and storytellers David Tamulevich and Michael Hough, have been performing together since the 1970s. Tamulevich says they took their name from a combination of an old fiddle tune called Bonaparte’s Retreat and a guitarist colleague called Nancy Mustard. He wrote Mustard’s Retreat for her, and it became the duo’s name: “It’s original, it’s different,” he says. Rich Warren welcomes the pair to a return visit on Folkstage this month, live from Levin Studio.

Chicago Symphony and Salonen in Ravel Kate Royal and Eric Owens were among the soloists when the CSO presented Ravel’s fantasy opera L’Enfant et les Sortilèges (The Child and the Enchantments). Guest conductor Esa-Pekka Salonen led the performance as part of a mostlyRavel concert during the orchestra’s recent festival of French music. The opera was premiered in 1926 in Monte Carlo, with Victor De Sabata conducting and choreography by George Balanchine. Its librettist was the French novelist Colette, best remembered today as the author of Gigi. A misbehaving child breaks his belongings and wounds a pet. Toys, teacups, animals, and even trees unite to accuse him, and he feels isolated and rejected until he tries to help the animal he injured. The “enchantments” then decide to help him become reconciled with his mother. Joining the orchestra and soloists for this performance are the Chicago Symphony Chorus and the Anima Young Singers of Greater Chicago.

Collectors’ Corner: Spotlighting Niels Gade Henry Fogel will devote two Collectors’ Corner broadcasts to the music of Niels Gade (1817-1890). Born in Copenhagen, he played violin in the Danish Royal Orchestra before turning his attention to composition. His works were championed by Mendelssohn, and he succeeded his mentor as conductor of the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra. He’s not well remembered outside Denmark, but his works include symphonies, tone poems, a violin concerto, copious piano music, string quartets and quintets, and cantatas written for Britain’s Birmingham Festival. Henry will sample these varied works, plus some Gade songs recorded by the Danish tenor Aksel Schiotz.

Tuesday 14 Opening Night at Millennium Park: Grant Park Music Festival 2016 Artistic director and principal conductor Carlos Kalmar opens the 2016 Grant Park Music Festival on a truly festive note by leading the Grant Park Orchestra in Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition. Fabio Bidini and Andrew von Oeyen are the guest pianists for the Two-Piano Concerto by Francis Poulenc. This 1932 composition, premiered by the prestigious International Society for Contemporary Music, is a little reminiscent of Ravel’s solo-piano concerto completed the same year, but Poulenc claimed specifically that his inspiration was from the piano concerti of Mozart and Saint-Saens. It’s a virtuosic piece for the two soloists, who play virtually without pause throughout. The concert will open with American music, Barber’s second Essay for Orchestra. Dave Schwan hosts WFMT’s live broadcast from Pritzker Pavilion.

More from GPMF: Kalmar and Pohjonen The young Finnish pianist Juho Pohjonen will make his festival debut tonight in Chopin’s Piano Concerto #2. To open the program Carlos Kalmar has chosen RimskyKorsakov’s colorful Symphony #2, subtitled Antar, full of the brilliant orchestral effects for which the composer is famous. To conclude will be a piece of new American music, a work that its composer, Christopher Rouse, intended as a concert-opener. It’s called Thunderstuck, and it was inspired by Rouse’s continuing love for rock ‘n’ roll. He says: “It’s all in fun.” Thunderstuck was commissioned by the New York Philharmonic and premiered by that orchestra in 2014.
