Dear Member,

When Memorial Day arrives, you know summer is just around the corner.WFMT will kick off the season in its own unique way with the second annual WFMT Beach Party live from Chicago’s lakefront. Join us at Fullerton Avenue and Lake Michigan for live performances, quizzes, conversation, and warm weather fun! And we will also pay tribute to our veterans with The National Memorial Day Concert, hosted by Chicagoans Joe Mantegna and Gary Sinise.

Also in May, WTTW brings you music on Friday evenings with an all-star salute to Gershwin Prize honorees Gloria and Emilio Estefan; and three Broadway stars – Cynthia Erivo, Annaleigh Ashford, and Megan Hilty – headline a series of concerts captured at the Appel Room overlooking New York’s Central Park. On wttw.com, hear from the Chicago-based winners of the James Beard Awards; revisit Chicago’s Pullman strike on its 125th anniversary; and delve into the true history behind Victor Hugo’s Les Misérables as it comes to its conclusion.

On WFMT, the Metropolitan Opera ends its 2018-19 matinee season with Verdi’s Aida and Poulenc’s Dialogues of the Carmelites. Renowned conductor James Conlon hosts Recovering a Musical Heritage to mark the Holocaust remembrance Yom HaShoah. And Chicago Tribune film critic Michael Phillips returns with a Memorial Day-themed edition of The Film Score. On wfmt.com, preview some upcoming summer musical events, check in on Facebook Live with performers at Ravinia Festival, and celebrate the moms in our lives with music for Mother’s Day.

This spring, thank you for your support of WTTW and WFMT.

Sincerely,

Leaps of Faiths – Screening and DiscussionWTTW, in partnership with the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events, presents a

screening and discussion of the new local documentary Leaps of Faiths.Love tests faith. Faith tests love. Interfaith marriage - how does that work? What about the in-laws? How

to raise the kids? For 30 years, Catholics and Jews in Chicago have found that the answers don’t have to be so hard - boundaries can be crossed and divisions healed. And the kids? This new film follows five who grew up learning both Judaism and Catholicism from 8th grade through high school, college, and beyond. Their families imagined possibilities and discovered them.

The screening will be followed by a panel dis-cussion moderated by Brandis Friedman, Chicago Tonight corre-spondent and segment host.

The Saint Sebastian Players (SSP) conclude their 38th season with Love, Loss and What I Wore by Nora Ephron and Delia Ephron, writers/directors of such films as You’ve Got Mail, Sleepless in Seattle, and When Harry Met Sally. Based on the bestselling book by Ilene Beckerman, Love, Loss and What I Wore is a

play of monologues and ensemble pieces that cover all the important subjects – mothers, prom dresses, mothers, buying first bras, mothers, hating purses, and why women wear only black.

Performances are April 26-May 19, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 pm and Sundays at 2:00 pm at St. Bonaventure, 1625 W. Diversey Parkway in Chicago.

Free parking is available in two lots. WTTW members may purchase two full-price tickets for the price of one, subject to availability, by emailing [email protected] and mentioning WTTW. For information, visit saintsebastianplayers.org.

Chesterton, Father Brown follows a kindly and enigmatic cleric as he solves crimes in his quintessentially English village – as much invested in saving souls as in bringing the guilty to justice. Death in Paradise centers on a fish-out-of-water British detective, Jack Mooney, who has been charged with chasing down murderers with the quirky police force on the beautiful Caribbean island of Saint Marie.

Recovering A Musical HeritageCurrently music director of the Los Angeles Opera and principal conductor of the RAI National Symphony of Turin, Italy, James Conlon has had an international career that has taken him to the Metropolitan Opera, the Paris Opera, the Rotterdam Philharmonic, the city of Cologne, and the Cincinnati May and Ravinia festivals – he was Ravinia’s music director from 2005 to 2015. A constant interest has been the championing of musicians silenced, imprisoned, or killed under the Third Reich; for bringing this music to light he’s been recognized by the Anti-Defamation League, the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, and the Zemlinsky Prize. Please join us to hear Mr Conlon offer an exploration of music from a lost generation, works forgotten for decades. He’ll illuminate the stories and legacies of composers including Alexander von Zemlinsky, Franz Schreker, Victor Ullmann, and Erwin Schulhoff. And many more.

22 MAY 2019

Live from WFMT: Instrumental and Vocal Chamber MusicLaura Strickling has performed numerous recitals and oratorio solos in New York City and Philadelphia. A Chicago native and 2012 resident artist at Ravinia’s Steans Music Institute, Ms. Strickling has presented both concert classics and works of new music. Pianist Daniel Schlosberg, on the music faculty at the University of Notre Dame, is well known as both a solo and collaborative pianist, with a special interest in song accompaniment. Baird Dodge has been the principal second violinist of the Chicago Symphony since 2002. Both Mr. Dodge and Ms. Strickling, sharing as they do a particular commitment to contemporary music, have performed works by American composer James Matheson, and a Matheson song cycle will be on their upcoming Live from WFMT broadcast, along with music by Brahms, Britten, Messiaen, and André Previn.


From the San Francisco Symphony: Music by Charles IvesOn two consecutive broadcasts, SFS music director Michael Tilson Thomas will feature works by Charles Ives (1874-1954). One of the most original of all American composers, Ives and his music have been a subject of lifelong interest for this conductor. The first of the two programs contains two short Ives pieces, From the Steeples and the Mountains and The Unanswered Question, followed with a work by another iconoclast, George Antheil, and music by Lou Harrison, who was a fervent admirer of Ives and helped to bring some of his music to public attention. The second program centers around Symphony No. 3, The Camp Meeting, which originated around 1900 but wasn’t performed complete until 1946. It won Ives a Pulitzer Prize for music. Among the sources for Symphony No. 3 are old hymns, which along with brass-band music formed some of Ives’ earliest musical memories and surface often in his compositions. Tilson Thomas brings in the San Francisco Symphony Chorus to perform some of these hymns, the most familiar of which are probably Oh for A Thousand Tongues to Sing and What A Friend We Have in Jesus. Rounding out the broadcast are another Ives piece, a setting of Psalm 90, and a more familiar classic of American music than any of these, Gershwin’s An American in Paris.

2019 MAY 23

Met Matinee Grand Finale: Dialogues of the CarmelitesIsabel Leonard and Karita Mattila are featured in the cast of Poulenc’s opera Dialogues of the Carmelites, which premiered at La Scala in Milan in 1957, but is set in Paris at the time of the French Revolution. The composer wrote his own libretto for the work, based on a screenplay that became a stage play, and a book from the 1930s whose English title is The Song at the Scaffold. In 1790s Paris, not only the royalty and the nobility were being attacked by the revolutionaries, but also the religious orders: nuns and priests. The Carmelite order that Sister Blanche (herself an aristocrat) has just entered is told it is to be nationalized and secularized; the nuns take a secret vote to offer themselves to the guillotine, but Blanche runs away in fear, only to find no refuge in her old home. She returns at the very end to rejoin her sisters as they go to their deaths singing the Marian hymn Salve Regina. The Met’s newly named music director, Yannick Nézet-Séguin, will conduct.

Opera from London: New Miniseries from Royal Opera HouseWith the final Metropolitan Opera matinee performance taking place on Saturday, May 11, the WFMT Radio Network has joined with the European Broadcasting Union and the BBC to syndicate pre-recorded performances from the Royal Opera House Covent Garden. Our miniseries will start with Verdi’s final opera, the Shakespearean comedy Falstaff, based mostly on The Merry Wives of Windsor and starring Sir Bryn Terfel in the title role, Ana María Martínez as Alice Ford, and Simon Keenlyside as Ford. Nicola Luisotti conducts. Like the Metropolitan, and like Lyric Opera over the past few seasons, Covent Garden has been revisiting Wagner’s Ring cycle, and from these recent productions, we’ll be hearing Das Rheingold in late May. Lyric’s Wotan, the leading character in Das Rheingold, has been Eric Owens, and from the Met, we recently heard Greer Grimsley; the ROH Wotan, chief of the gods, is bass-baritone John Lundgren. The conductor is Sir Antonio Pappano. These performances from the Royal Opera House will last into mid-July, and will also feature Simon Boccanegra, La Forza del Destino, Billy Bud, and Andrea Chénier.

Saturdays, May 18 and 25, 12:00 pm

Janet Sung Leading a Live from WFMT String EnsembleSung, a graduate of Harvard University and the Juilliard School, teaches at Chicago’s DePaul University. She’s been a soloist with a number of American orchestras and has given the world premieres of works by Kenneth Fuchs and Augusta Read Thomas. Recital appearances have taken her to festivals from Aspen to Lucerne, and she’s also toured with Mark O’Connor’s American String Celebration. For the past several seasons, she has gathered a small group of string-playing friends to present concerts on Live from WFMT, and host Kerry Frumkin is delighted to be welcoming them all back again.
