The Guide | September 2017

Air Check Dear Member, This month, over ten nights, WTTW is honored to present The Vietnam War – a sweeping multi-part documentary from Burns and co-director Lynn Novick, a film that he has said is “without a doubt, the most ambitious project” [they] have ever undertaken.” Many have tried to tell the story of a conflict that, as Novick says, remains “unfinished business in American history,” but you will never see it told in such breadth and depth. We will premiere the first episode on September 17 at 7:00 pm on WTTW11 and wttw.com/watch. We will also host Ken and Lynn here in Chicago on September 7; please check page 3 for event details.

Also this month on WTTW11, delve into more Sunday night mysteries with Endeavour Morse and The Coroner, and enjoy a new British comedy series, Marley’s Ghosts. On Labor Day, spend A Weekend in Havana with Geoffrey Baer and take a virtual tour online at wttw.com/weekendinhavana. Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with a new special featuring Ballet Hispanico.

Join a witty terminally ill woman as she formulates her ultimate to-do list in Before I Kick the Bucket; watch American Masters profiles of painter Tyrus Wong, filmmaker Richard Linklater (more below on both), and the legendary guitarist Jimi Hendrix; hear the story of the influential religious leader Martin Luther; and check out a new weekly conversation series, Third Rail with Oxy, an innovative cooking series, Christopher Kimball’s Milk Street Television; and another installment of Craft in America.

This month on wttw.com, explore the varied films of Richard Linklater, the subject of a new American Masters, from Boyhood to School of Rock to Fast Food Nation. American Masters: Tyrus Wong focuses on the life of the Chinese-American painter behind Bambi, who lived to be 106; learn about the amazing careers of some other centenarians, from three other Disney animators to iconic authors. And tour Vietnam War memorials and commemorations to learn about their symbolism and history.

Lyric Opera of Chicago returns to WFMT in September, with live broadcasts of Stars of Lyric Opera at Millennium Park and of the opening night of the 2017-18 season, Gluck’s Orphée featuring the Joffrey Ballet. We’ll have four full-length performances from the 2017 BBC Promenade concerts, the world’s largest classical music festival – including the lively Last Night of the Proms. Featured artists include conductor Sir Andrew Davis, violinist Joshua Bell, and soprano Nina Stemme. To mark Mexican Independence Day, Chicago-based Mariachi Herencia de Mexico will join us on Introductions. And the annual season from the San Francisco Opera opens with a vintage 1970s performance: Ponchielli’s La Gioconda starring Renata Scotto and Luciano Pavarotti.

On wfmt.com, experience the best music from around the globe throughout the month. Enjoy highlights from the Chicago World Music Festival through interviews with artists and exclusive video content. Celebrate Mexican Independence Day by watching in-studio performances by Chicago Mariachi Project and Mariachi Heritage Foundation. Go behind the scenes of Lyric Opera of Chicago and Joffrey Ballet’s first collaboration, a choreographed version of Gluck’s Orphée et Eurydice.

Thanks for your support.

Sir Andrew Davis

The Proms 2017: Sargent Tribute The BBC Promenade Concerts, billed as the “world’s largest classical music festival,” took place this summer as always in London’s Royal Albert Hall. A special July event found the BBC Symphony conducted by Sir Andrew Davis in a re-creation of the 500th Proms concert led by Sir Malcolm Sargent. Sargent (18951967) was one of the most famous and respected British conductors of the 20th century. A major part of his career was devoted to the Proms, of which he was chief conductor from 1948 until his death. (He was also noted for his performances of Gilbert & Sullivan operas.) In this tribute, Sir Andrew will lead music by renowned British composers – Britten, Delius, Holst, Walton – plus Schumann’s Piano Concerto with soloist Beatrice Rana. A festive evening – the first of four Proms concerts WFMT will air during September.

Cédric Tiberghien

The Proms Looks to the East For 19th-century European musicians, “the East” could be anything from North Africa to China. The exoticism of Asian and African music and settings informed not only their stage but also their concert music. For their appearance at the 2017 BBC Promenade Concerts, conductor François-Xavier Roth and the ensemble Les Siècles (Centuries) constructed a program of Asian-influenced music by French composers Léo Delibes, César Franck, Edouard Lalo, and Camille Saint-Saëns, including Saint-Saëns’ final piano concerto, which he subtitled Egyptian, and the famous Bacchanale from his opera Samson and Delilah, plus ballet music and more. Cédric Tiberghien is the guest pianist.

In the Spotlight

Mariachi Herencia de Mexico

For Mexican Independence Day On the air – and streamed on wfmt.com – we’ll have a couple of special broadcasts. Mariachi Herencia de Mexico is an ensemble of precollege musicians from a variety of Chicago neighborhoods. Last July they came to Levin Studio to record a program of mariachi standards and a bluegrass-inspired medley.

The performance will be featured on Introductions with Michael San Gabino at 11:00 am. The group’s first recording, Nuestra Herencia (Our Heritage), released earlier this year, hit #2 on Latin iTunes, and the group has just completed its first tour, including visits to Disney World, Millennium Park, and Ravinia, and will be making a debut at Washington’s Kennedy Center. Later in the day, WFMT will have music from Mexico and other Latin-American countries, and at 7:00 pm, Elbio Barilari’s Fiesta! will feature Mexican Soundscapes, showcasing music with roots in the native cultures plus works from the Colonial period and the present day. Be sure to check WFMT.com and WFMT’s Facebook page to continue the celebration of Mexican Independence Day with videos and other digital exclusives.

In the Spotlight

Itzhak Perlman

For the Jewish High Holidays Since September is the month for Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, and Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, we thought it might be a good time to rebroadcast a longtime WFMT favorite, Rozhinkes mit Mandlin (Raisins with Almonds). This is a part-documentary, part-reminiscence with lots of music, in which WFMT co-founder Rita Jacobs Willens looks back on the Jewish immigrant experience of early 20th-century America. Later in the month, Kerry Frumkin welcomes lutenist Joel Spears and an ensemble called The Strangers to a special edition of Live from WFMT, featuring the music of Salomone Rossi, an early Baroque Italian-Jewish composer with both sacred and secular music to his credit.

We’ll also re-broadcast Memories of the High Holidays with Itzhak Perlman, a feature from WQXR/New York in which one of today’s great classical artists shared memories and music for this special time of the year.

Rozhinkes Monday, September 18, 10:00 pm Live from WFMT Monday, September 25, 8:00 pm Itzhak Perlman Monday, September 25, 10:00 pm

Dmitry Korchak

Lyric Opera 2017-18: Opening Night Orpheus, as described in poetry and myth, was not a Greek god. But he was revered for the magic he could make with his voice and his lute, and he used his astounding musical gifts to challenge the dark power of the Underworld. The French version of Christoph Willibald Gluck’s opera about Orpheus, Orphée et Eurydice, has beautiful melodies but equally beautiful dances as well, and those will come to the fore when Lyric Opera of Chicago opens its 2017-18 season with its first-ever collaboration with the Joffrey Ballet. Directed and choreographed by John Neumeier, this new production will be conducted by Baroque maven Harry Bicket. Dmitry Korchak will sing the role of Orpheé, Ryan Opera Center alumna Andriana Chuchman will portray his beloved wife, Eurydice, and Lauren Snouffer will portray the pivotal role of Amour: Love. Lisa Flynn and Roger Pines will co-host WFMT’s live broadcast of this extra-special opening night.
