August WTTW & WFMT Member Magazine

Air Check 

Dear Member, 

This month, WTTW marks a proud milestone: the 10th anniversary of our annual 3K walk and 5K 

family run, the popular WTTW Kids Fun and Run. Back in 2003 when we were brainstorming about 

ways to extend the experience of our programming, and encourage healthy lifestyles, we decided 

that an outdoor summer event on Chicago’s beautiful lakefront would be fun. Over the past decade, 

the Fun and Run has grown exponentially, becoming one of the most 

eagerly anticipated and fastest-selling events of the summer season. Past 

attendees tell us that it has created countless indelible family memories – 

especially with our youngest viewers, who love to interact with their 

favorite walk-around characters from Sesame Street, Arthur, Clifford the 

Big Red Dog, Curious George, and others. We hope you can join us on 

August 25 for what is shaping up to be another unforgettable event. Be 

sure to register soon at wttw.com/funandrun! 

August is truly a music-filled month on WTTW11, with new specials 

from rock violinist David Garrett, singing sensations Sarah Brightman and 

Alfie Boe, and exciting young Scottish dynamo Emeli Sandé, this year’s 

Vienna Philharmonic Summer Night concert, A Salute to Vienna with 

Frederica von Stade and Maximilian Schell, and finally, an historic Elvis Presley special on August 16, 

the anniversary of his passing. We also revisit America’s National Parks with Ken Burns, commemorate 

the 50th anniversary of a pivotal turning point in the civil rights movement: the March on Washington, 

explore the world-altering history of the Eisenhower administration, and thrill to a new Masterpiece 

Mystery – Silk. It’s enough to make you forget the summer heat! 

On WFMT, we have two more live broadcasts from this summer’s Grant Park Music Festival. Carlos 

Kalmar leads a Latin-themed concert: Piazzolla, Villa-Lobos, and more. Chicago favorite Valentina 

Lisitsa returns to Pritzker Pavilion to play Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto #2 with Kalmar and the Grant 

Park Orchestra. Performances from the Los Angeles Opera continue on Saturdays, including soprano 

Sondra Radvanovsky starring in Puccini’s Tosca. And from St. James Cathedral, we have four more live 

broadcasts of the 2013 Rush Hour concerts: a Schubert evening, a Britten celebration, new music with 

Third Coast Percussion, and French music performed by the Spektral Quartet. 

As always, please visit wttw.com and wfmt.com to watch and listen to your favorite programming 

wherever you are, and we’ll see you in Lincoln Park on August 25! Thanks for your continued support.

work to make strong stuff. 

10:00 NOVA: Making Stuff Smaller

smaller world, as he profiles 

the latest in high-powered 

nano-circuits and micro-robots.

his humble beginnings in Mecca to his 

struggles with accepting his Prophetic 

role; from his flight to Medina and the 

founding of the first Islamic constitution 

to his subsequent military and political 

successes and failures – through to his 

death and his legacy.

Chicago Month 

From our regular programming to special live 

concerts to featured guest hosts and musicians, the 

month of August will be dedicated to celebrating 

music making in our great city. 

Throughout August 

Chicago Artists Day 

We will spend this day with ten Chicago area 

ensembles that are perhaps lesser-known but highly 

deserving of greater recognition. We’ll be hearing 

their performances and talking with them about their 

upcoming season. Tune in to learn more about some 

of the Chicago area’s hidden jewels.

Composer Exploration: 

John Alden Carpenter 

John Alden Carpenter enjoyed a brilliant career in 

the mid-twentieth century and composed many 

works meant to toast the spirit of America including 

the ballet Skyscrapers, set in New York but 

equally inspired by his native Chicago.

Florence Quartararo 

Collectors’ Corner: 

A Forgotten 

American Soprano 

Henry Fogel calls Florence Quartararo 

“the greatest soprano you never 

heard of.” Quartararo sang at the 

Metropolitan Opera in the late 1940s, 

sang with opera companies in San 

Francisco and Philadelphia, and then 

went to Italy, where she married the 

bass Italo Tajo and retired from the 

stage. Richard Caniell, an expert on 

historic vocal recordings, became the 

recipient of Quartararo’s recordings, 

which will shortly be released on 

the Immortal Performances label. 

Henry will play highlights from an 

advance copy of this release, plus 

a couple of Quartararo rarities on 

the RCA label. As Henry points 

out, most of the broadcast will be 

“material no one has ever heard 

before.” Opera fans take note!

Conductor’s Debut 


Valentina Lisitsa 

Pablo Heras-Casado 

Spanish-born Pablo Heras-Casado 

has led concerts and operas in Berlin 

and was named principal conductor 

of New York’s Orchestra of St. Luke’s 

in 2011. He made his first Chicago 

Symphony appearance as part of the 

MusicNOW series, and earlier this 

year made his subscription-series 

debut with the orchestra in music by 

Ravel, Debussy, and Falla. John Von 

Rhein wrote in the Tribune: “Like his 

mentor, Pierre Boulez, Heras-Casado 

conducts without a baton. This frees 

his hands to sculpt phrases with 

the kind of precision and point one 

associates with the CSO’s conductor 

emeritus. Yet for all his intellectual 

grasp of music, there also was a 

particularly Mediterranean sensuality 

in the quality of sound he elicited 

from the orchestra. This served him 

especially well in the program’s 

centerpiece, Manuel de Falla’s El 

Amor Brujo (Love the Magician).” 


1:00 pm


Jerome Moross 

Jerome Moross: 

The Heart of America 

This two-hour centenary tribute to 

composer Jerome Moross, hosted 

by Michael Feinstein and produced 

by Jon Tolansky, includes tributes 

and reminiscences from a wide 

variety of performing artists, authors, 

and historians: Wynton Marsalis, 

Kaye Ballard, Tony Bennett, and 

Thomas Hampson, naming just a few. 

Feinstein details with copious musical 

examples the life and career of a 

quintessentially American composer, 

who composed legendary film scores 

plus musicals, ballets, symphonic 

music, chamber works, songs, and 

the opera Sorry, Wrong Number.

Ian Bostridge 

Tuesday Night Opera: 

The Turn of the Screw 

This Benjamin Britten opera sets to 

music Henry James’ haunting tale of 

two children menaced – maybe – by 

ghostly figures. Or by something or 

someone else? In an introductory 

essay, Philip Brett notes: “The opera 

is presented in a series of 16 scenes 

which closely follow the chain of 

incidents in the book and preserve 

its episodic structure. Some events 

are telescoped, some omitted, but 

there are three scenes that are entirely 

(or almost entirely) new.” The first 

of these he identifies as an Act 1 

scene that gives a solo song to the 

little boy, Miles; the other two come 

later and involved the two ghosts, 

Peter Quint and Miss Jessel. “Both 

scenes,” says Brett, “serve to make 

the ghosts musically palpable in a 

way that contravenes James’ subtle 

suggestiveness, but makes sense on 

the stage, where unseen presences 

do not easily engage the audience’s 

feelings.” Thus the opera differs 

substantially from the original in 

giving a firmer reality to the ghosts. 

Ian Bostridge and Joan Rodgers star 

in the recording Peter Van De Graaff 

chose for his Tuesday-night series, 

which this year is covering all the 

operas of Britten, Verdi, and Wagner.
