April WTTW & WFMT Member Magazine

Air Check 

Dear Member, 

Access to the fine arts has always been an important mission at WFMT and WTTW, and we are 

uniquely positioned to bring them to you in a variety of different ways. This month, WTTW and WFMT 

are pleased to mark National Poetry Month. WFMT will present an in-depth exploration of this singular 

literary genre – focusing on history’s greatest poets, symphonic poems, 

some well-known musical settings of poems, instrumental works in 

tributes to poets, and much more – including a memorable Studs Terkel 

conversation with Carl Sandburg, who famously dubbed Chicago the 

“City of the Big Shoulders.” Be sure to visit wfmt.com to see a complete 

lineup of what WFMT has in store, hear audio highlights, and learn about 

future monthly themes. On WTTW Prime, don’t miss the American Masters 

documentary, “The Day Carl Sandburg Died,” which examines the life 

and work of the Pulitzer Prize-winning poet and novelist, as well as the 

controversy surrounding him. 

This April, WTTW11 offers a fresh and eclectic mix of programming 

sure to please the entire family. We meet a Kind Hearted Woman, journey 

inside the human body with the BBC’s Michael Mosley, observe Holocaust 

Remembrance Day with two new programs, delve into The American Songbook with Michael Feinstein, 

explore Australia at the dawn of time with NOVA, and reveal The Secret Life of Ice. As only he can, Ken 

Burns tells the dramatic story of The Central Park Five, we give you an opportunity to vote for your 

favorite international commercials on wttw.com, and bring you new episodes of Call the Midwife and 

Masterpiece Classic: Mr. Selfridge. And we introduce you to the four intrepid female sleuths who make 

up The Bletchley Circle. April will truly be a month to remember! 

On WFMT, the Metropolitan Opera’s Saturday afternoon matinée series will continue with Wagner’s 

Ring cycle, part of the Met’s tribute to the Wagner bicentennial, starring Deborah Voigt as Bruennhilde 

and Mark Delavan as Wotan in Robert Lepage’s production. The cycle begins with “Das Rheingold” on 

April 6. As part of our National Poetry Month celebration, we’ll feature classic readings from poetry 

ancient and modern, recorded by Dame Edith Sitwell, Julie Harris, Ed Begley, William Carlos Williams, 

Carl Sandburg, and many others. WFMT’s Kerry Frumkin will be joined by pianist Inna Faliks, a frequent 

WFMT guest, for two more editions of their “Music/Words” poetry special, on April 8 and 15. 

Don’t miss these highlights and other programming during the month of April. Watch WTTW online 

at wttw.com or via the PBS Mobile App (learn how at wttw.com/mobile) and listen to WFMT online at 

wfmt.com or through our WFMT App (learn how at wfmt.com/streaming). As always, thank you for

Saturday Cinema: The Island Cinema 

In partnership with ITVS and the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs, WTTW invites you to attend a 

free screening and discussion about the new Independent Lens documentary 

The Island 

President! 

The Island President is 

the story of President 

Mohamed Nasheed of 

the Maldives, a man confronting 

a problem 

greater than any other 

world leader has ever 

faced – the literal survival 

of his country and everyone 

in it. After challenging an entrenched dictator to bring democracy 

to the Maldives, Nasheed is now faced with an even greater challenge: 

as the most low-lying country in the world, a minor rise in sea level would submerge the 1200 islands of the 

Maldives. 

This is a free event. For more information, please visit wttw.com/events. 

The Island President will air at 10:00 pm on WTTW11 on April 22.

Happy Birthday Wagner! 

Join us for this special all day seminar which will include a lecture, discussion, 

and lunch. It will be a day you won’t forget. 

The name Richard Wagner clangs copious sonorities in Walter Rudolph’s 

brain, including Wagner’s searching early works, his erratic behavior, tunnel 

vision, and impetuous demand for legendary-status-recognition from the 

world of his day. Learn about Wagner’s genius and grasp a bit of why Wagner’s 

creations not only demand, but deserve our attention. Most of all, experience 

the diverse musical styles defining Richard Wagner during the month of his 

200th birthday. 

Walter Rudolph considers himself the imperfect Wagnerite. During his 35 

plus years in public radio (Classical 89, KBYU-FM in Provo, Utah), he reported 

on all things Wagnerian from Bayreuth, Brussels, and Berlin to Dallas, San 

Francisco, and New York.

Graves of 

prisoners in 

Terezin during 

the World 

War II. 

Defiant Requiem: 

Voices of Resistance 

This new documentary tells the story 

of the concentration camp Terezin in 

the Czech Republic, where a large 

number of Jewish artists, musicians, 

poets, and writers were incarcerated 

under the Nazis. In the face of horrific 

living conditions, starvation, and the 

threat of deportation to Auschwitz, the 

inmates of Terezin stood up to their Nazi 

oppressors and did the unthinkable: 

they fought back with art and music. 

Six decades later, conductor Murry 

Sidlin and a new choir bring Terezin and 

the story of the inmates’ leader Raphael 

Schachter back to life.

8:00 American Masters: Carol 

Burnett – A Woman of 

Character America in the 

1960s and 1970s was in 

turmoil. The civil rights struggle, 

the war in Vietnam and the 

sexual revolution defined 

a nation in conflict. But at 

10 o’clock every Saturday 

night, in dorms and dens, in 

living rooms and bedrooms 

across the country, Americans 

watched “The Carol Burnett 

Show.” For 11 years, the wacky 

performer yelled like Tarzan and 

won – and sometimes broke – 

our hearts with her edgy, 

always sympathetic, characters. 

She could fall down a flight of 

stairs or hold her own in a duet 

with Julie Andrews. Yet, as with 

so many brilliant comedians, 

hers was a difficult childhood. 

A glimpse of something deeper 

and darker began to emerge 

in the dramatic career that 

followed her TV variety show.

Intelligence 

Squared: Does 

Science Refute God? 

It’s a fundamental question: evolution or 

creation? Americans are on the fence. 

According to one survey, while 61% 

of Americans believe we have evolved 

over time, 22% believe this evolution 

was guided by a higher power, with 

another 31% on the side of creationism. 

For some, modern science debunks 

many of religion’s core beliefs, but 

for others, questions like “Why are 

we here?” and “How did it all come 

about?” can only be answered through 

a belief in the existence of God. Can 

science and religion co-exist?

Central Park Five 

Late in the evening of April 19, 1989, 

Tricia Meili, a 28-year-old white 

investment banker, went jogging 

through Central Park in New York City. 

When she was found hours later, she 

had been brutally raped, beaten, and 

left for dead. This film by Ken Burns 

examines the notorious crime, the 

media response, and the public outcry 

it triggered, and the miscarriage of 

justice that followed it, probing the 

larger issues it raises about our nation’s 

complicated past.

American Masters: The 

Day Carl Sandburg Died 

For much of the 20th century, Carl 

Sandburg was synonymous with the 

American experience, a spokesman 

on behalf of “the people.” Using 

his unique life – from impoverished 

beginnings on the Illinois prairie to the 

halls of Congress to The Ed Sullivan 

Show – as the basis for free-verse 

poetry, Sandburg became one of the 

most successful writers in the English 

language: a three-time Pulitzer Prizewinner, 

biographer (most notably of 

Abraham Lincoln), children’s storyteller, 

novelist, and captivating performer. 

Yet, after his death in 1967, his literary 

legacy faded and his poems, once 

taught in schools across America, were 

dismissed under the weight of critical 

attack. This documentary examines the 

life, work, and controversy surrounding 

Sandburg, exposing his radical politics 

and anarchist writing during WWI as 

well as the burgeoning resurgence of 

interest in him and his contributions.

Border Patrol agents, Native Americans,

Samaritans form a constellation of 

people engaged with the Arizona/ 

Mexico border on a daily basis – 

policing it, inhabiting it, crossing it, 

working it, making it safer, or simply 

feeling its consequences. But at the 

center of it all is the migrant. This is 

the story of the migrants who die while 

trying to cross an unforgiving desert in 

search of a better life.

Esa-Pekka Salonen 

Chicago Symphony 

Orchestra Radio 

Broadcasts: Tristan 

A major theme of the 2012-13 

season of the Chicago Symphony 

Orchestra has been The Wagner 

Effect: exploring, during Richard 

Wagner’s bicentennial year, the 

tremendous influence his music 

had on composers of his own time 

and of the following generations. 

Forming part of the celebration were 

the February performances under 

guest conductor Esa-Pekka Salonen 

of Act 2 of the music drama Tristan 

und Isolde with tenor Stefan Vinke 

and soprano Linda Watson in the 

title roles. Said John Von Rhein in 

the Chicago Tribune: “[The lovers 

share] a passion that can thrive 

only under the protective cover of 

darkness, can only be fulfilled in the 

blessed oblivion of eternal night. 

Wagner’s death-intoxicated music 

never relaxes its grip on an audience. 

The listener, like the characters 

themselves, is caught up in a powerful 

trajectory of emotions quite unlike 

any other experience in music.”

Exploring Music: 

Bill McGlaughlin Visits 

The Roaring Twenties 

As Bill puts it: “In the 1920s, concert 

halls rocked with everything from jazz 

to airplane propellers, radio became 

a multimillion-dollar industry, and 

art and literature flowed like bathtub 

gin.” Five shows will focus on the 

lively musical activity in New York 

City – where composers including 

Copland, Varese, and Gershwin were 

working – plus Paris, home to the 

French Group des Six, and Berlin, 

with the innovations of Hindemith, 

Kurt Weill, and many others.

Pierre-Laurent Aimard 

The New York 

Philharmonic This 

Week: Aimard Plays 

A New Concerto 

The U.S premiere of 

Le Désenchantement du Monde, 

Symphonic Concerto for Piano and 

Orchestra is being given this month 

by conductor David Robertson, the 

New York Philharmonic, and pianist 

Pierre-Laurent Aimard, a longtime 

friend of the composer, France’s 

Tristan Murail. The composer has 

said: “Can one still write for the piano 

today? Through the 19th century 

and to the beginning of the 20th it 

was the emblematic instrument…but 

has it survived the array of tortures 

inflicted upon it by the end of the 20th 

century? After the clusters of Henry 

Cowell, the preparations of John 

Cage, the ornithological percussions 

of Messiaen, the electrified mantras 

of Stockhausen, and the various 

scrapings and pinchings of strings – 

what space is left to the imagination?” 

Murail’s new concerto is his attempt 

to answer the question. On the

Live from the Met: 

A Handel Classic 

A new production at the Metropolitan 

Opera this season is Handel’s Giulio 

Cesare, or Julius Caesar. David 

McVicar’s staging “incorporates 

elements of Baroque theater and 

19th-century British imperialism 

to illuminate the opera’s themes 

of love, war, and empire-building,” 

according to the Met’s preview. 

David Daniels sings the title role 

with Natalie Dessay as Cleopatra, 

Alice Coote as Sesto, and Patricia 

Bardon as Cornelia, with Baroque 

maven Harry Bicket conducting.

2013 APRIL 29

Chicago Symphony: 

Salonen and Yo-Yo Ma 

Cellist and CSO creative consultant 

Yo-Yo Ma joined the orchestra under 

Esa-Pekka Salonen this winter to 

perform the Cello Concerto by Witold 

Lutoslawski. Writing in the Chicago 

Tribune, John Von Rhein noted: 

“With this 1970 masterpiece, written 

for cellist Mstislav Rostropovich, 

Lutoslawski re-invented the 

relationship between soloist and 

orchestra. The subliminal dramatic 

scheme casts the cellist as a solitary 

individual menaced by the orchestral 

mob…. Only at the end of this 

tumultuous battle of wills are the 

tables turned, and the cello’s voice 

prevails, undimmed and indomitable: 

order has been restored out of chaos.” 

On the same program are tone 

poems by Sibelius and Tchaikovsky.
