Dear Member,
Geoffrey Baer’s distinguished on-camera career at WTTW began in 1995 with the very first Chicago River Tour. A decade later, he took audiences back to that familiar territory to highlight big changes that had taken place along its banks. Now, 12 years later, Geoffrey returns with an all-new tour that covers more ground – all three branches of the river, in six different vessels, and the development
along the Chicago Riverwalk! Join him on WTTW11 and at wttw.com/river as Geoffrey shows us the incredible transformation that has taken place over the past decade – not just in the architecture but in how Chicagoans enjoy it. Along the way, he shares fascinating stories about the River’s history, and introduces some memorable characters who live, work, and play there.
Also this month on WTTW11 and wttw.com/watch, join us for the premiere of another exciting new local film and its companion website, Making a New American NUTCRACKER, a collaboration with The Joffrey Ballet that goes behind the scenes of a new interpretation of Tchaikovsky’s classic holiday favorite. We observe Veteran’s Day with a variety of relevant content, including A City at War: Chicago, exploring how the Windy City took part in the war effort during World War II; and Fighting on Both Fronts: The
Story of the 370th, about the prejudice African American soldiers faced when they returned stateside. Our Sunday drama nights continue with The Coroner, The Durrells in Corfu, Poldark, and The Collection. And settle in for the best of Broadway on Friday nights, laugh as David Letterman collects this year’s Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, and watch as astronaut Scott Kelly attempts to move Beyond A Year in Space. Finally, director Ron Howard explores the excesses of Beatlemania in Eight Days a Week: The Touring Years.
This month on wttw.com, get a glimpse behind the making of a timely Frontline investigation, Putin’s Revenge, in a conversation with the director. Also, the 370th Regiment was one of a few African American regiments to fight in World War I – learn the importance of their story. Finally, acclaimed author Helen Macdonald turned to hawking for solace after the loss of her father. Hear about her unique method of coping and her discoveries.
On 98.7WFMT and wfmt.com, the Kontras Quartet, our current artists-in-residence, continue their exploration of the folk roots of classical music. Also continuing is the 2017-18 Lyric Opera season, from which we’ll have live opening-night broadcasts of Wagner’s Die Walküre and Bizet’s Pearlfishers. On Live from WFMT, Kerry Frumkin will welcome the young string artists of the Dover Quartet and also the acclaimed new-music ensemble eighth blackbird. And we’ll be replaying highlights from our recent Classical Cabarets on the four Saturdays at 7:00 pm – featuring an eclectic group of artists including pianist Vassily Primakov, folksingers and storytellers, and the Chinese erhu player Chihsuan Yang.
On wfmt.com this month, meet Lidiya Yankovskaya, the new music director of Chicago Opera Theater, and one of only two female conductors currently serving as music director or principal guest conductor of a major American opera company. And we encourage you to start the holiday season on a relaxing note, with virtual gong meditation.
Have a wonderful month of November, and thank you for your support.
Sincerely,
Dan SchmidtPresident & CEO

Screening & Discussion: I Am Not Your NegroJoin us for a free screening of and discussion about the Independent Lens documentary I Am Not Your Negro.In 1979, James Baldwin wrote a letter to his literary agent describing his next project, to be called Remember
This House. The book was to be a revolutionary, personal account of the lives and successive assassinations of three of his close friends – Medgar Evers, Malcolm X, and Martin Luther King, Jr.
But at the time of Baldwin’s death in 1987, he left behind only 30 completed pages of his manuscript. Now, in this Oscar-nominated documentary I Am Not Your Negro, master filmmaker Raoul Peck envisions the book James Baldwin never finished.
For additional information and to RSVP, visit wttw.com/events.
CHICAGO has been hailed as one of the “most important bands in music since the dawn of the rock and roll era” by former President Bill Clinton. This legendary rock and roll band with horns came in at #9, the highest charting American band in Billboard Magazine’s recent Hot 200 All-Time Top Artists. CHICAGO is the first American rock band to chart Top 40 albums in six consecutive decades, and in 2016 they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Join us for this special taping of WTTW’s legendary and ground-breaking music series Soundstage filmed in WTTW’s intimate Grainger Studio.

This new film explores how the Windy City answered that call, and how a mutually beneficial relationship between FDR and Chicago mayor Ed Kelly (the original “big city boss”) helped to set everything in motion. The documentary reveals how the Chicago area was transformed into a well-oiled production machine, with every man, woman, and child mobilizing to support the war effort.

During a period when African Americans tirelessly fought for basic human rights, these fighting soldiers marched off to war to show their patriotism and loyalty to the U.S. But when they returned from war they realized that, despite their sacrifices, the country still denied them civil rights.

Lyric Opera: Valkyries Riding(Special time)David Pountney’s new production of Richard Wagner’s Ring cycle continues at Lyric this month with Die Walküre (The Valkyrie). Soprano Christine Goerke stars as Brünnhilde, leader of the nine warrior maidens of Norse mythology, and bass-baritone Eric Owens portrays Wotan, her father, chief of the gods who, at the end of Das Rheingold, had just entered their cloud-borne home, Valhalla. To Valhalla, the Valkyries convey heroes dead on the fields of battle. The spectacular imagery of the Valkyries on their magical horses always makes the opening of Act 3 a highlight of Die Walküre onstage, and the Ride of the Valkyries an exciting showpiece on concert programs. Lyric’s introduction to this music-drama notes that Die Walküre, underneath its mythological surface, is really about family relationships: spouses, father and daughter, brother and sister. Sir Andrew Davis is the conductor; Lisa Flynn and Roger Pines will co-host WFMT’s live opening-night broadcast.

More from Caramoor OperaSummer 2017 marked the 20th anniversary of Bel Canto at Caramoor, during which the festival, based in New York’s Westchester County, has presented a variety of rarities from early 19th-century Italy. The WFMT Radio Network’s final Caramoor presentation this year is a nearly-forgotten work by Vincenzo Bellini, Il Pirata, which will feature the festival’s Chorus Bel Canto Young Artists and, in the central role of Imogene, soprano Angela Meade, who made her critically acclaimed debut at Caramoor in 2010 and has since gone on to sing at the Metropolitan Opera and on several other operatic stages. The resident orchestra of Caramoor Opera, the Orchestra of St Luke’s, will also perform.

The Kontras Quartet: Folk Music InspirationsThe word kontras means contrasts in South Africa’s Afrikaans language; in this case it describes a group whose repertory extends over several centuries, continents, and genres. Since early October the Kontras Quartet has been offering WFMT listeners its choices of folk-inspired classical music. They’ve also performed for radio and TV audiences on NBC and PBS, and on Performance Today. Recent overseas tours took them to South Africa and Switzerland, and in this country they’ve performed not only in Chicago but also in Washington DC, Salt Lake City, and other cities on both coasts. They serve as the Quartet in Residence at Western Michigan University; in addition to their current WFMT residency, they’ve also brought music to Chicago Public Schools. You can hear them during November on Carl Grapentine’s and Candice Agree’s morning and late-afternoon shows.

Relevant Tones: Zhou Long, Chinese-American ComposerAlthough he came from an artistic family, Zhou Long’s musical education was not a continuous trajectory but, rather, one interrupted by outside circumstances. It also took place in two very different nations: the China of the post-Cultural Revolution years, and the United States of the 1980s. Long graduated from Beijing’s Central Conservatory of Music in 1983 and shortly thereafter received a fellowship to study at New York’s Columbia University. Remaining in the USA, he directed the Music from China concerts and worked on the Silk Road Project with cellist Yo-Yo Ma. He’s taught at Columbia, Brooklyn College, Berkeley, the Beijing conservatory, and many other schools. His wife, Chen Yi, is also a composer. Zhou Long’s works explore the relationships and contrasts between traditional Chinese music and Western music traditions. They’ve won him an ASCAP Adventurous Programming Award (1999) and the Pulitzer Prize in music (2011). Seth Boustead explores the many-sided artistry of Zhou Long as part of Relevant Tones.

Opera Southwest: Italian RaritiesNew Mexico’s Opera Southwest was established in 1972 as the Albuquerque Opera Theatre. Since then the company has mounted some 120 productions, quite a few of which have been world premieres. For the 2017 American Opera Series syndicated by the WFMT Radio Network, we have first Rossini’s Tancredi, first performed in Venice in 1813, a work that instantly established its composer as a prime figure on the Italian-opera scene. Based on a play by Voltaire, it’s a bel-canto melodrama of love and war in the days of the Byzantine Empire. The company also offers us Amleto, an adaptation of Shakespeare by the Italian composer Franco Faccio, long thought to be lost but recovered by Opera Southwest’s artistic director, Anthony Barrese, from the archives of the Ricordi publishing house. The libretto was crafted by Faccio’s fellow composer, Arrigo Boito. Opera Southwest’s 2014 production of Amleto was the first performance of the work anywhere in well over a century.

A Sunday at Lyric: Bizet’s PearlfishersThere’s more in Bizet’s compositional catalog than Carmen. Over a decade before creating his biggest hit, the composer wrote Les Pecheurs de Perles, set in Sri Lanka – known in the 19th century as Ceylon – to portray a classic love triangle, two men who are close friends but in love with the same woman, against an exotic and colorful Asian backdrop. The best-known element from The Pearlfishers is the tenor-baritone duet Au fond du temple saint, but there’s a lot more glorious music to enjoy. Lyric Opera is mounting a new-to-Chicago production owned by the San Diego Opera, with Marina Rebeka as Leila, Matthew Polenzani as Nadir, and Mariusz Kwiecien as Zurga, with Sir Andrew Davis conducting. Join Lisa Flynn and Roger Pines for this Sunday-afternoon opening live from the Lyric Opera House.

American Music from the San Francisco SymphonySan Francisco Symphony music director Michael Tilson Thomas is a great admirer of the music of Aaron Copland. He has said he particularly likes one of the composer’s late-period pieces, Inscape, because it shows “two sides” of Copland: one lyrical and somewhat introspective, the other more “declamatory,” or maybe assertive. Written in 1967, about 12 minutes long, Inscape is one of Copland’s few forays into twelve-tone composition, which he once wrote gave him new ways of hearing chords that reinvigorated his approach to music. Tilson Thomas combines Inscape with Copland’s Orchestral Variations and also his piano concerto, performed by Inon Barnatan. The program will also feature The B Sides by Mason Bates, commissioned by the conductor and the orchestra in 2009. It combines standard orchestral timbres with electronica; Bates uses the word “off-kilter” to describe the contrast between the two sound worlds. Rounding out this broadcast concert will be a standard symphonic classic, Robert Schumann’s Symphony #2 in C Major.
