Air Check - WTTW

2 APRIL 2017

Dear Member,

One of the true privileges we enjoy as a public media organization is the opportunity to zero in on compelling local stories, telling them across television and digital platforms and in considerable depth. A case in point: this month, we are excited to launch a year-long community engagement

initiative, My Neighborhood: Pilsen which shines a spotlight on a group of local residents who are working together to make their South Side neighborhood a better place to live. Join us on April 27 for this new documentary and a live town hall on WTTW11, which will also stream live on wttw.com. At the same time, a new website will launch at wttw.com/myneighborhood, where you’ll find more stories of the neighborhood and key turning points in Pilsen history. And, we’ll be out in the community throughout the spring and summer with community screenings and other events.

Also on WTTW11 this month, several popular series return for new seasons: Father Brown and Death in Paradise on Saturday evenings (where they will join the quirky new series 800 Words, from Australia); and Call the Midwife and Home Fires on Sunday nights. Look for a searing

installment of Independent Lens – Newtown – which explores the aftermath of the 2012 mass killing at Sandy Hook Elementary School. A special from the BBC follows a man who learns How to Find Love Online; a new three-part series from American Experience, The Great War, marks the centenary of America’s entrance into World War I; several moving programs recall the heroism and heartbreak of the Holocaust; Princes of the Palace spans three generations of British royalty; Frontline reveals what happens when someone spends a year eating only fish; and a multi-part program tells the exciting story of the Space Race.

This month on wttw.com/playlist, look for an online conversation about Call the Midwife and modern midwifery with a student studying to be a midwife at Yale’s School of Nursing; and a feature detailing how America’s engagement in World War I transformed Chicago, to coincide with The Great War. Also, enjoy our latest digital series, Urban Nature, at wttw.com/urbannature, which “walks on the wild side” with nature thriving in three of America’s biggest cities, including Chicago.

WFMT will present its third Classical Cabaret, airing live from the Chopin Theater in Chicago on the third Monday evening of the month, with the multi-talented Robbie Ellis once again serving as our host. Also live in April is the Vermeer Quartet’s annual performance of Haydn’s cycle The Seven Last Words, a Holy Week presentation from LaSalle Street Church. And for some gloriously varied springtime listening, join us for another series of concerts from Carnegie Hall, beginning with Venezuela’s Simon Bolivar Symphony. Coming up on wfmt.com, a feature on the local Grammy-winning eighth blackbird’s Matthew Duvall and the challenges of working with 100 percussionists (including Third Coast Percussion) on a new composition prior to its upcoming U.S. premiere at the MCA Chicago.

It’s a month filled with exceptional content. Thanks for making it possible.

Sincerely,

Dan SchmidtPresident & CEO

Screening & Discussion: Unbroken GlassTwenty years after the death of his parents, filmmaker Dinesh Das Sabu begins a journey to finally piece

together their story. Uncovering a silenced family history of mental illness, Dinesh confronts the legacy of having a schizo-

phrenic mother who died by suicide, the reality of growing up an orphaned immigrant, and the trauma of these events. Can he reconcile these truths all while living in the specter of mental illness? Unbroken Glass weaves to-gether Dinesh Das Sabu’s journey of discovery, via scenes of his family dealing with raw emotions and con-sequences of his immigrant parents’ lives and deaths. The film was shot over five years in Illinois, California, and India.

Join us for a free screening and discussion about this moving film. For more information and to RSVP, visit wttw.com/events.

You are invited to join WTTW and the Resurrection Project for a premiere documentary screening and discus-sion of My Neighborhood: Pilsen.

Presented by WTTW, My Neighborhood: Pilsen is a television, community engagement, and digital initiative that will tell the stories of one neighborhood in Chicago through the voices of people in the community who

are making change. The goal is to bring you directly into the process of meeting chal-lenges with leadership and effort from in-side a commu-nity. Following the film will be a panel discus-sion with com-munity leaders on revitalizing neighborhoods across Chicago.

$10 off tickets to Porchlight Music Theatre’s Marry Me A LittlePorchlight Music Theatre concludes its 22nd season with the rarely seen Stephen Sondheim musical

Marry Me A Little. Reconceived especially for this production and starring Bethany Thomas and Austin Cook, Porchlight breathes new theatrical life and meaning into this revue featuring a collection of trunk songs culled from the final produc-tions of “Anyone Can Whistle,” “Follies,” “Company,” “Forum,” “A Little Night Music,” and other Sondheim favorites. It tells the story of two urban singles, each alone in their apartment, who share a Saturday night of sweet fantasies and deep yearning never knowing that they’re only a floor away from each other and the end of their lonely dreams.

To redeem this special offer to performances through May 21, 2017, please use code WTTW online at porchlightmusictheatre.org or via phone at (773) 327-5252. All per-formances take place at Stage 773 at 1225 W. Belmont in Chicago. Cannot be combined with other offers, or applied to previous purchases. Additional fees may apply.

2-for-1 Tickets to Steppenwolf Theatre’s Linda VistaWheeler is 50. His marriage is over, his job is mundane, and the best years of his life appear to be behind

him. A move from the cot in his ex-wife’s garage to his own apartment opens up new possibilities for love and sex – complicated, painful, and hilarious. Full of opinions, yet short on self-examination, Wheeler must reconcile the man he has become with the man he wants to be. Written by the acclaimed Tracy Letts

For 2-for-1 admission to Steppenwolf Theatre’s Linda Vista call (312) 335-1650 and use code WFMT. Valid Thursday, March 30 through Sunday, April 16. Steppenwolf Theatre Company at 1650 North Halsted Street in Chicago.

2-for-1 Tickets to Liz Gerring Dance Company

The Dance Center of Columbia College Chicago concludes its 2016-17 season with the Chicago debut of Liz Gerring Dance Company performing its newest evening-length work Horizon, described as “exuberantly athletic” by The New York Times. “Horizon is a new work for seven dancers centered around the idea of den-sity,” Gerring said. “In this piece, I endeavored to add as much as possible to the space in terms of dancers and movement. With multiple phrases occurring simultaneously, the dance takes the form of a constantly shifting universe full of activity.” With contributions from elec-tronic music composer Michael J. Schumacher, production designer Robert Wierzel, and cos-tume designer Liz Prince, Gerring’s work, per-formed under a white ceiling cantilevered over the stage, is fresh testimony to her pure, movement-driven action and exhilarating physi-cal surprises in a constantly changing media-saturated stage-world.

WTTW members may purchase two tickets for the price of one, subject to availability, for any performance by calling (312) 369-8330 and using the code 24828. Performances are April 6-8 at 7:30 pm at the Dance Center, 1306 S. Michigan Avenue in Chicago. For more informa-tion, visit colum.edu/dancecenterpresents.

Beethoven Live from the MetThe Metropolitan Opera calls Beethoven’s only opera, Fidelio, an “ode” to the ideals of freedom and justice. The plot also involves loyalty and love, as Leonore, alias Fidelio, risks her own safety to rescue her husband. The principal roles of Leonore and the unjustly imprisoned Florestan are taken by soprano Adrianne Pieczonka and tenor Klaus Florian Vogt; Sebastian Weigle is the conductor. Instead of an 18th-century time period, the production places the drama in an unspecified contemporary setting.

Magdalena Baczewska in RecitalLast winter’s Chopin in the City event brought to Chicago pianist and harpsichordist Magdalena Stern-Baczewska, who performed a recital in WFMT’s Levin Studio before an invited audience on February 26. Her all-Chopin program is highlighted by the composer’s Polonaise-Fantasie and the Ballade in F Minor. Baczewska is an alumna of the Mannes School and the Manhattan School of Music and teaches at Columbia University. Her concert career has included performances with the San Francisco, China National, and Macao symphony orchestras, in addition to collaborations with violinist Joshua Bell. Her recent recording on the Paraty label features works by Chopin and Karol Szymanowski. Maggie Clennon Reberg will host our broadcast of the Baczewska recital.

Carnegie Hall 2016-17A new series of performances from Carnegie Hall has been produced by radio station WQXR. Hosted by Jeff Spurgeon, the broadcasts feature visiting orchestras and internationally-renowned soloists as they performed in New York’s venerable concert venue. The series begins with Gustavo Dudamel and the Simon Bolivar Symphony of Venezuela, who play Ravel’s La Valse and Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring, then follows with a string of encore-style dances by Brahms, Bernstein, Strauss, and others. Also during April, we’ll be hearing from tenor Ian Bostridge, violinist Viktoria Mullova and the Accademia Bizantina in an all-Bach program, and the Berlin Staatskapelle playing Bruckner under Daniel Barenboim’s baton.

Aida, Huge Verdi Favorite, Live from the MetIs there anything more purely operatic than Aida? A love triangle, a clash between two proud and ancient kingdoms, the fabulous spectacle of a victory procession with trumpets and soldiers: the whole nine yards. Hearing it without seeing it, the opera-lover is still mesmerized by Verdi’s wonderful music for the slave girl Aida, her officer-lover Radames, and the princess Amneris. Performances of Aida have been taking place throughout this Met season, and one has finally arrived for a Saturday afternoon, with Krassimira Stoyanova in the title role.

The Chicago Symphony Goes 18th CenturyGuest conductor Nicholas McGegan, an expert on music of the Baroque era, leads a smaller-sized CSO for a Handel concerto grosso, a symphony (sinfonia) by CPE Bach, and Haydn’s Military Symphony, #100 in G. In between, mezzo-soprano Vivica Genaux, another Baroque specialist, presents a series of virtuoso opera arias from little-known works by Vivaldi, Nicola Antonio Porpora (1686-1768), and Riccardo Broschi (1698-1756). Genaux is a native of Fairbanks, Alaska, and has had a varied international operatic career, concentrating on revived operas from the 17th and 18th centuries. She’s also recorded a number of aria collections from the Baroque repertory.

The Metropolitan Opera’s OneginChicago was able to hear Tchaikovsky’s lushly romantic opera Eugene Onegin at Lyric Opera earlier this season. Enjoy it again from the Met, with Anna Netrebko as Tatiana and Peter Mattei in the title role. Onegin is based on a verse novel by Alexander Pushkin, and of Tchaikovsky’s several operas, has been the most enduring favorite with opera companies and audiences the world over. The production, which sets the opera in the late 19th century, the same time it was composed, is jointly owned by the Met and the English National Opera.

More Wagner from the MetWagner’s first major success was the opera he called Der fliegende Holländer and which we call in English The Flying Dutchman. Based on an old mariners’ legend, with a libretto by the composer, it’s being conducted at the Metropolitan Opera by Yannick Nézet-Séguin, who in 2020 will take over as the company’s music director. Of special interest to Chicago listeners is the singer portraying Senta: soprano Amber Wagner, an alumna of the Ryan Opera Center. Baritone Michael Volle sings the role of the Dutchman, and the cast also includes mezzo-soprano Dolora Zajick as Mary. The setting is a Norwegian fishing village; the time, indeterminate, timeless.
