Air Check 

Dear Member, 

When I think about the month of December, I think about music. I also think about the cold, but let’s 

focus on the beautiful sounds that surround us during the holiday season. I’m happy <strong>to</strong> tell you that music 

is the centerpiece of much of our programming on WTTW this month and, of 

course, WFMT will bring you musical treasures day and night, on-air and online, 

as always. Here are a few of my favorites in the upcoming schedule… 

On December 7 at 7:30 pm, tune in <strong>to</strong> 98.7WFMT when Chicago’s Music of 

the Baroque will perform Bach’s “Christmas Ora<strong>to</strong>rio” at the Harris Theater with 

Carl Grapentine as your host. Six separate cantatas will relate the Christmas s<strong>to</strong>ry 

through dramatic narrative, moving arias, and inspiring chorales. On December 

13 at 8:00 pm, Live from WFMT presents “A Renaissance Christmas.” The Chicago 

Early Music Consort, directed by recorder artist and early-music scholar Gary 

Berkens<strong>to</strong>ck, chose this concert from sacred and secular works by composers 

of Tudor England, including Tallis, Morley, Tye, Weelkes, Anthony Holborne, 

and King Henry VIII himself. On December 23 at 8:00 pm, The New York Philharmonic and its longtime 

chorus partner, the New York Choral Artists, will perform Handel’s Messiah, and on four consecutive nights 

beginning December 27 at 6:00 pm, WFMT Program Direc<strong>to</strong>r Peter Whorf will host hour-long specials that 

celebrate “Music from Québec’s 2010 Festival of Sacred Music.” The last pick on my list is Rich Warren’s 

annual New Year’s Eve Midnight Special bash. This year, Rich will be taking requests and his live guests 

include Vance Gilbert, Claudia Schmidt, Michael Smith, and the Sons of the Never Wrong. Ring in the 

New Year with tdis WFMT year-end tradition! Visit wfmt.com for more information. 

As usual on WTTW11, December ushers in a wide array of exceptional arts and music programming – 

the music of Yanni, Celtic Thunder, Peter Yarrow (who will join us live in the studio), Jeff Beck, David 

Garrett, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, and many others. We bring you highlights from the Cirque du 

Soleil’s spectacular Las Vegas productions, all-new episodes from travel expert Rick Steves (also joining 

us live in the Studio), a unique production of the Nutcracker from the San Francisco Ballet, and the New 

York Philharmonic at Lincoln Center will feature electrifying piano phenom Lang Lang. 

In addition <strong>to</strong> the programs I mentioned above, we’ll honor Beethoven all month long on 98.7WFMT 

with live performances of his piano sonatas; James Morris takes the title role of Mikado in a live broadcast 

of the Bucksbaum Family Lyric Opera series, and the first live Saturday-afternoon broadcast from the 

Metropolitan Opera 2010-11 season is Verdi’s intensely dramatic Don Carlo starring tenor Younghoon Lee 

in the title role of the prince of Spain. 

As we look <strong>to</strong> the end of 2010 and the start of a new year, I’m sure you’ll agree that it has been a great 

year for WTTW and WFMT programming, and your membership has been crucial <strong>to</strong> our success. But 

as we continue <strong>to</strong> manage an uncertain economy, we also continue <strong>to</strong> be a casualty of the Illinois state 

budget crisis. With a loss of $1.25 million in funding we were expecting <strong>to</strong> receive this year from the state 

for our programming costs, and continued reduction in 2011, I would like <strong>to</strong> make a special appeal at this 

time. I hope you will consider making a special year-end gift <strong>to</strong> keep the programming you love going 

strong. Please respond <strong>to</strong> our mail, visit our website, or call our Member Services department <strong>to</strong> make a 

special gift <strong>to</strong>day. Thank you. 

Sincerely,

Paris: The 

Luminous Years 

In the early decades of the 20th 

century, a s<strong>to</strong>rm of modernism swept 

through the art worlds of the West, 

uprooting centuries of tradition in the 

visual arts, music, literature, dance, 

theater, and beyond. The epicenter 

of this s<strong>to</strong>rm was Paris, France. This 

film tells the s<strong>to</strong>ry of Paris from an 

unprecedented point of view, not 

as the familiar, glamorous backdrop 

for the revolutions that exploded 

there, but as active protagonist, 

catalyst and midwife <strong>to</strong> modernity.

8:00 Paris: City of Dreams From 

the blood-soaked streets of 

revolution Paris rose up <strong>to</strong> 

become the world’s first truly 

modern city – the place where 

the way we work, live, and

during the 19th century. 

9:00 Paris: Blood and Chocolate 

Over the centuries Paris 

endured some very hard times, 

including war and plague, until 

France’s favorite king, Henri 

IV, came along and laid the 

foundations for the city we love 

<strong>to</strong>day. We continue <strong>to</strong> trace 

Paris’s his<strong>to</strong>ry, including its rift 

between the classes and why 

chocolate is a metaphor for this.

a look beyond the glittering 

surface of Paris at the underground 

worlds and movements

industry and ties all of the city’s 

his<strong>to</strong>ry in<strong>to</strong> the Paris of <strong>to</strong>day.
