Broadcast fees apply for the Beethoven Network. However, you pay only for the hours you
use. Beethoven Network listings are posted on the WFMT Radio Network website at
wfmt.com/network. Click on Beethoven Network playlists.
The highly successful classical music radio format service of the WFMT Radio Network, the
Beethoven Network, celebrates over three decades of service and continues to grow.
Beethoven Network provides one-hour modules of classical music, culled from WFMT’s
extensive library of more than 85,000 recordings. The service was originally designed to help
public radio stations expand their local operation and improve the quality of late night
programming.
Designed for you and your listeners, all Beethoven Network hours can be fully customized as
your local program product. The service features flexibility in each hourly module, permitting
network or local break opportunities, top-of-the-hour news, underwriting credits or commercials
and local program promotions.
Here are some comments about Beethoven Network (all quotes are from letters on file):
“Radio is a companion to people and Peter van de Graaff is an excellent one. I like his
style and format approach. It’s very intelligent programming.”
“We are overwhelmed (but not surprised) by the positive response of our listeners to
[BN’s] return to our airwaves. We have a steady stream of comments, and many of them
have backed them up with hefty financial contributions.”

Beethoven Network (BN)
PROGRAMMING PHILOSOPHY
At the Beethoven Network, we go far beyond just playing random pieces of music. Our
philosophy and goal is to take the listeners on a musical journey, so we tie pieces of music
together in interesting and novel ways. Whether it is to illuminate what has just been heard or to
start down a completely different path, the music selected is always played for a purpose. We
take great time and care in putting every hour together in thoughtful ways.
We never fade in or out of music. Generally speaking, we don’t play single movements of
compositions. Exceptions to this may include a ballet, opera or orchestral suite.
We believe in playing the “core repertoire” in abundance, but we also delve into the lesser
known works and composers, drawing on our extensive collection of more than 85,000
recordings.
We limit vocal music primarily to the occasional 2:00 or 6:00 breaks, but if there is a compelling
reason to play something vocal that ties in with a theme we are developing, we won’t hesitate to
play it. That would be an exception, however, as instrumental compositions by far dominate.
Avant-garde music is avoided, as is, with rare exception, organ music.
In announcing the selections, the focus is on the music—not on the host. Our goal is to be
welcoming and congenial without drawing attention away from the music. Talk is kept to a
minimum, but if there is something interesting or illuminating to say, we won’t hesitate to say it.
At the Beethoven Network, we maintain time-tested standards of quality to bring you
distinguished programming and a consistently engaging listening experience.

COMMENTS
Station Manager: “Thank you for the wonderful programs. We receive compliments all the time on your
programming. At least we’re smart enough to carry you.”
Listener: “I just wanted to register what a huge asset this man is to my daily life. His knowledge is
amazing and his enthusiasm is, too. His professionalism combined with his very pleasant voice is
tremendous.”
Affiliate station GM: “The listeners just really like Peter. They like his presentation. He’s extremely
knowledgeable. He’s just a very friendly voice. We have many people who are very happy when they
come into the area and hear that we have him on because they’ve been listening to him in other parts of
the country. He’s a friend.”
Listener: “I have enjoyed listening to you for a few years now. In fact, you’re one of the main reasons I
recently became a member. I just wanted to thank you for giving me hours of listening pleasure.”
Listener: “Peter makes a most valuable contribution to the station. He has such a pleasant way of giving
listeners information that we never feel he is lecturing, yet we acquire so much good information from
him. He’s a treasure for us all.”
BBC Producer: “A presenter who can actually pronounce a foreign language, doesn’t tell the story of his
life and doesn’t drop his voice at the crucial point in his intro!”
Listener: “It’s always a pleasure to hear his pleasant voice and well-crafted, erudite, pithy and brief
comments on the music he’s playing. I always find I’ve learned something new about the composer or the
music. That’s why I always enjoy listening.”
Listener: “Peter is the best ‘friend’ to a listener like myself. I depend on his calm and interesting talk, and
the music selections.”
Listener: “I have loved your broadcasts for many years now. Your musical knowledge is broad and your
voice is comforting. What a joy it is for those of us up at all hours of the night and morning to listen to
you. Thank you.”
Listener: “I love your voice—the low, rich, smooth sound of it, the relaxed, clear, intelligent pace of it—
and I like the music you play. How can I hear more of you?”
Listener: “Your nightly music is a big joy in my life. Thank you so very much. Your comments are just
right and the choice of music is wonderful.”
Listener: “I listen to your music regularly and must say it is superb. As a radio announcer, you have what
others don’t: great elocution (English and foreign) and superb taste in music.”
Listener: “Your programs are like going night after night to a varied and wonderful concert with a
charming companion.”

This special is available free of charge to all affiliate stations for one broadcast in the week of
November 8.
WQXR is pleased to present Donizetti’s bel canto masterpiece, Lucrezia Borgia, recorded live in
July 2014 at The Caramoor Summer Music Festival, a performing arts center located on a unique
90-acre setting about 50 miles north of New York City. Director of Opera Will Crutchfield
leads the Orchestra of St. Luke’s and a stellar cast including acclaimed soprano Angela Meade
in her highly anticipated debut in the title role, Tamara Mumford as Maffio Orsini, Michele
Angelini as Gennaro, and Christophoros Stamboglis as Duke Alfonso.
Reviewing Ms. Meade’s breakout role debut as Norma at Caramoor in 2010, the New York
Times exclaimed “From the first lines of Norma’s entrance…Ms. Meade sounded in complete
control of the role.” She has gone on to display that control in acclaimed Norma performances at
the Metropolitan Opera, the Washington National Opera, and elsewhere. Now she returns to
Caramoor to introduce her interpretation of another iconic bel canto heroine.

The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center is proud to announce details of its 2014-2015
radio series season. The 52 one-hour programs, hosted by Elliott Forrest, feature live recorded
performances by leading chamber music players from around the world. Programs feature
enlightening commentary from CMS Co-Artistic Director David Finckel, and the performers.
The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center (CMS) is one of eleven constituents of Lincoln
Center for the Performing Arts, the largest performing arts complex in the world. Along with
other constituents such as the New York Philharmonic, New York City Ballet, Lincoln Center
Theater, and The Metropolitan Opera, the Chamber Music Society has its home at Lincoln
Center, in Alice Tully Hall. Through its performance, education, and recording/broadcast
activities, it draws more people to chamber music than any other organization of its kind.
CMS presents annual series of concerts and educational events for listeners ranging from
connoisseurs to chamber music newcomers of all ages. Performing repertoire from over three
centuries, and numerous premieres by living composers, CMS offers programs curated to
provide listeners a comprehensive perspective on the art of chamber music.
The performing artists of CMS, a multi-generational selection of expert chamber musicians,
constitute an evolving repertory company capable of presenting chamber music of every
instrumentation, style, and historical period. Its annual activities include a full season of concerts
and events, national and international tours, nationally televised broadcasts on Live From
14
Lincoln Center, a radio show broadcast internationally, and regular appearances on American
Public Media’s Performance Today. In 2004, CMS appointed cellist David Finckel and pianist
Wu Han artistic directors. They succeed founding director Charles Wadsworth (1969-89), Fred
Sherry (1989-93), and David Shifrin (1993-2004). More information is available at

Hailed as the number one U.S. Orchestra by the venerable British publication Gramophone, the
Chicago Symphony Orchestra continues this quarter with more concerts from Symphony
Center, the home of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.
Produced by Marty Ronish and hosted by Lisa Simeone, this weekly, two-hour series offers a
unique format of engaging and lively content, including produced segments created to provide
deeper insight into the music and programmatic themes found within the CSO’s concert season;
interviews with CSO musicians, guest artists, and composers; and an exploration of the stories
found within the CSO’s rich heritage of recordings and the Orchestra’s illustrious history in
Chicago.
Each radio broadcast highlights the many programs and events at Symphony Center,
encouraging listeners to visit the CSO’s website, www.cso.org for additional content, including
full-length interviews and the Orchestra’s weekly program notes. These broadcasts also support
the CSO’s new record label, CSO Resound, with programs timed to coincide with the release of
each new recording.
In 2011, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra was awarded two more Grammys for Best Classical
Album and Best Choral Performance for Verdi’s Requiem, Chicago Symphony Orchestra,
Chorus and Soloists, Riccardo Muti, Conductor; David Frost, Tom Lazarus and Chistopher
33
Willis, Engineers. These are the first Grammys for Maestro Muti. The CSO has earned 62

WFMT and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra are excited to share this performance of Verdi’s
Macbeth, recorded in Chicago in 2013 to celebrate the 200th anniversary of Verdi’s birth. Music
Director Riccardo Muti, one of the finest living Verdi interpreters, led the dynamic and moving
concert with a cast featuring Luca Salsi (Macbeth), Tatiana Serjan (Lady Macbeth), Dmitriy
Belosselskiy (Banco), and Francesco Meli (Macduff). The combined forces of the CSO, the
Chicago Symphony Chorus (Duain Wolfe, director), and Riccardo Muti make this a program
not to be missed.
Critics were unanimous in praising the all performers, with the Chicago Sun-Times declaring,
“From her first aria, thrilled by news of Macbeth’s victory in battle, Serjan’s lady was a woman
possessed. Combining hellish fire and deadly ice, she soared fearlessly through Verdi’s
punishing coloratura flights but also brought subtle color to his long, singing lines.” The Chicago
Tribune stated, “Together with the splendid Chicago Symphony Chorus and a virtuoso orchestra
that made up in power and precision what it lacks in operatic playing experience, Muti led a
finely detailed, dramatically gripping account that kept one focused on the inexorable unfolding
of a great Shakespearean tragedy, retold through Verdi's great music. The audience leapt to its
feet at the end of the nearly 31/2-hour performance (including two intermissions), applauding
and cheering into the night.”
The CSO’s music director position is endowed in perpetuity by a generous gift from the Zell Family
Foundation.

Welcome to a broadcast by the Civic Orchestra of Chicago: a pre-professional training orchestra
of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra founded in 1919 by Frederick Stock, then music director of
the CSO.
A signature initiative of the CSO’s Institute for Learning, Access and Training, the Civic
Orchestra provides promising career-bound musicians a unique access to the musical resources
of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and hands-on training experiences with the musicians of the
CSO and some of today’s most sought-after conductors including CSO Music Director Riccardo
Muti.
Under the leadership of Civic Principal Conductor Cliff Colnot and CSO Judson and Joyce
Green Creative Consultant Yo-Yo Ma, the Civic Orchestra musicians develop as exceptional
orchestral players and engaged citizen musicians, and cultivate their ability to succeed in the
rapidly evolving world of music in the 21st century.
The Civic gives critically acclaimed performances in Orchestra Hall at Symphony Center, and in
other parts of the metropolitan area; its members also give chamber concerts, and all these
performances are free of charge to the greater Chicago community.
Over the years, many Civic members have gone on to distinguished careers in the Chicago
Symphony Orchestra as well as all the major orchestras of the United States and throughout the
41
world.
Nationwide broadcasts by the Civic Orchestra of Chicago are underwritten with a grant from the
Elizabeth F. Cheney Foundation.

This series is available free of charge to all affiliate stations for two broadcasts through
September 29, 2014.
After the huge success of The Callas Legacy and The Art of Wilhelm Furtwängler, Henry Fogel
returned with Collectors’ Corner. Mr. Fogel had the following thoughts: “The series will
present a wide range of recordings that I feel are true classics of the industry. Recordings to be
included will feature either unusual repertoire that I feel deserves a wider public, or
performances unique in their interpretive profile, sense of commitment, and intensity. Many of
these recordings will be long out-of-print, or hard to locate in the United States.”
The series includes a broad range of orchestral, vocal, chamber and solo-instrumental music.
On Collectors’ Corner this quarter, highlights include four programs on the music of Charles
Munch, two programs on the music of Croatian composer Dora Pejacevic, an exquisite archival
recording of Vladimir Sofronitzky performing at Moscow Conservatory, the first recording of
the authentic arrangement of Joplin’s Treemonisha, the stunning beauty of Maria Callas’ Norma,
and more!

We bring it to you from the source: arguably the world’s densest infrastructure for classical
music with an incomparable year of festivals.
Germany is not only the world’s third-largest music market. It also has some 500 (yes, five
hundred) music festivals in all genres, a good portion of them classical. Besides the meat and
potatoes of the repertory, these events serve a fare from delicate to spicy, with some rare treats.
In castles and sheds, churches and halls both historic and sleek-modern, they’re performed for
relaxed audiences in a festive mood. Ambience and feeling are shared by the musicians, who
contribute their own insights and give edge-of-your-seat performances.
The recordings are made by Germany’s public broadcasting system and Deutsche Welle itself, so
count on solid technical quality.
Host Rick Fulker, a long-time observer of the scene, visits the events and interviews soloists and
conductors. He loves nothing more than sharing the music with users on radio and online.
It’s an “ExStraussaganza” of a year as Richard Strauss, born on June 11, 1864, is being feted in
his 150th anniversary year in events from the Baltic Sea to the Alps. We bring you three, with the
star lineup of conductors including veteran Daniel Barenboim, young maestro Andris Nelsons
and – need we say more? – Christian Thielemann. Expect the sparks to fly as the two orchestras
Strauss himself most intensively worked with – the Staatskapelle Berlin and the Staatskapelle
Dresden – continue to battle it out for the privilege of being called the Strauss orchestra. Two of
51
the events come from Dresden’s glittering Semper Opera, where the composer premiered no
fewer than nine of his operas.
Then, as you’ve doubtless gathered, there’s another birthday boy this year: Carl Philipp Emanuel
Bach, born three hundred years ago, on March 8, 1714. In his age, he was called “the great
Bach,” his fame outshining that of his father, Johann Sebastian. But hearing our two programs of
“Bach and Sons,” you might find yourself feeling, as we do, that the one momentarily being
played is definitely the great one. The events span a stretch of territory from Schwetzingen
Palace, in the West of Germany, to St. Thomas’ Church in Leipzig, in the East. The latter, of
course, is where the “old man” spent 27 years of his very productive life and raised his talented
progeny, including C.P.E. Among other things, these shows illustrate the incredible development
in music in the decades marked by Bach and his sons.
Who’s afraid of contemporary music? Not Berlin-based American conductor Jonathan
Stockhammer, who assembled a roller coaster of a program with Reich, Adams, Ligeti,
Abrahamsen and Zappa at Cologne’s Eight Bridges Festival. And Stockhammer too enjoys
spilling the secrets and guiding the listener through a program both thought-provoking and fun.
“Vertical” seems like too gentle a description for the career trajectory of twenty-three year old
Russian pianist Daniil Trifonov: Carnegie Hall recital in 2013, contract with Deutsche
Grammophon, his greatest admirers including fellow pianists Alfred Brendel and Marta
Argerich, Trifonov has now hit the festival circuit. We catch up with him in Schwetzingen for a
recital with sounds from delicate to demonic.
One of Germany’s most hailed living composers has a conducting sideline, and you can hear the
result when Jörg Widmann teams up with the Irish Chamber Orchestra in Heidelberg.
Not a historical connection perhaps, but a perfect blend of setting and sound is what the Mozart
Festival in Würzburg is about - in the opulent setting of the local palace.
Lest we forget, Beethoven’s home town – Bonn, Germany – is also the home of Deutsche Welle
and of likely the world’s premiere Beethovenfest. Just around the time he takes the helm with the
Boston Symphony, Andris Nelsons jets back to Germany to lead his energetic City of
Birmingham Symphony Orchestra in the complete cycle of Ludwig van’s symphonies.
The programs, each lasting one hour and fifty-eight minutes, can be combined with the second
part of the series in Winter 2015 for half a year of music made in Germany. Or the modular miniseries (Strauss, the Bachs and Beethoven) can be scheduled to fit. Promos provided, custom
made promos if requested.
It’s a strong season you won’t want to miss!

Now in its 10th year, Exploring Music with Bill McGlaughlin is a creative exploration of
classical music and other genres. Each week’s programs are unified by compositions that share a
central theme, which might be a composer, a period of history, or a musical form.
Peabody Award-winning broadcaster Bill McGlaughlin is a broadly experienced musician,
conductor, and composer. Bill draws on his background, his love of jazz, and his unmatched
musical knowledge to connect recorded examples with engaging commentary. McGlaughlin is
an affable, yet erudite musical story teller, whose insights speak to both novice and expert
classical music fans.
Listeners and program directors have enthusiastically responded to Bill McGlaughlin’s anecdotes
and illustrations at the piano, and recently, The Association of Music Personnel in Public Radio
(AMPPR) honored Bill McGlaughlin with its Lifetime Achievement Award during the 2011
Public Radio Music Conference. The series is also syndicated internationally, and its universal
appeal was recently recognized by listeners in Canberra, Australia, who chose Exploring Music
as the recipient of the 2010 Artsound Award for Best Overseas Program.
“We MADE our fundraising goal for the first time in about four years! Your funders really
helped to make the difference as did a flurry of new listeners, the best online pledging we've
seen, concert tickets from area presenters and donated original artwork for our final day. Our
60
listeners really LOVE Exploring Music, and Bill McGlaughlin's remarkable breadth of
knowledge and topics presented in a highly passionate yet personal style."

Exploring Music
Bill McGlaughlin’s introduction to music came late; he was fourteen before he took his first
piano lessons. “Happily, I understood immediately what a wonderful thing I’d stumbled into. I can
remember thinking as I walked away from my second piano lesson – ‘Well, that’s it. I’ll be a musician.’
Of course, I had no idea what that decision meant exactly.”
Over the years, McGlaughlin was to discover that ‘being a musician’ could embrace a great many
paths. He has served as an educator, a performer, a trombonist with the Philadelphia Orchestra and
Pittsburgh symphony, and as a conductor – seven years as Associate Conductor with the St. Paul
Chamber Orchestra, followed by periods as Music Director of orchestras in Eugene, OR, Tucson, AZ, and
San Francisco, CA, and most recently, a twelve year engagement as Music Director of the Kansas City
Symphony. He has also been active as a guest conductor, leading the Baltimore Symphony, Denver
Symphony, Houston Symphony, Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, Minnesota Orchestra, National
Symphony, New Orleans Symphony, Oregon Symphony, Pacific Symphony, Pittsburgh Symphony, St.
Louis Symphony, Opera Theatre St. Louis, American Music Theater Festival and San Antonio Festival.
Bill McGlaughlin has also been active in broadcasting, serving as host of the popular public radio
program St. Paul Sunday since its inception in 1980. In 1996 the program received the highest honor in
broadcasting, the George Foster Peabody Award. McGlaughlin has also been active with PBS, the BBC
and is now in his ninth season as co-host of the chamber music program Center Stage From Wolftrap.
It was not until 1997 that McGlaughlin made a public debut in the role that he considers his most
challenging – that of composer. His Three Dreams and a Question: Choral Songs on E.E. Cummings – a
work dedicated to the memory of the young composer and pianist Kevin Oldham – was enthusiastically
received by audiences, performers and press at its premiere with the Kansas City Symphony, and was
quickly followed by five more premieres within a ten month span. Aaron’s Horizons, a work dedicated to
the spirit of Aaron Copland, (with whom McGlaughlin worked in the 1970s), has been heard nationwide
in a broadcast with members of the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra.
In the summer of 1998, Bill McGlaughlin signed a contract with Subito Music, which now
publishes all of his work. His recent works include Walt Whitman’s Dream, for large chorus and
orchestra, a work commissioned by Continental Harmony, a Millennium project sponsored by the
National Endowment for the Arts and the American Composers Forum. He has also composed a piece in
collaboration with Garrison Keillor, Surveying Lake Wobegon, which has its premiere at the Ravinia
Festival in Chicago on September 3, 2000, and has since been played by orchestras from coast to coast.
In addition, he contributed a piece for a ‘quartet of neglected instruments’ for the December 23, 2000
Prairie Home Companion broadcast from Town Hall in New York. He composed a work in celebration
of the 50th anniversary of the Minneapolis Civic Orchestra, which was premiered on March 17, 2002.
Three Pieces for Wind Trio was given its first performance at the Kemper Museum in Kansas City on
June 1, 2002.
Among Bill’s many awards, he received the Lifetime Achievement Award from Fine Arts Radio
International in 2004, the 2008 Dushkin Award from the Music Institute of Chicago for Exploring Music,
which was also voted “Best Overseas Program” in the 2010 ArtSound FM Awards in Australia. And
recently, The Association of Music Personnel in Public Radio (AMPPR) honored Bill with its Lifetime
Achievement Award during the 2011 Public Radio Music Conference. The award was presented by
AMPPR President David Duff, during a brief ceremony in the Jerome L. Greene Performance Space at
New York radio station WQXR.

Fiesta! is an original production devoted to Latino concert music, and brings artistically
significant compositions from Latin America, Spain and Portugal to your listeners.
The acclaimed composer, musician, performer, and professor Elbio Barilari is the host and
creative force behind this series. He invites listeners to enjoy and learn about the lively and
compelling sounds of Latin American classical music.
Fiesta! provides a valuable platform for the sound, culture, and history of classical music in
Latin America. Barilari enriches our listeners by introducing them to a genre that does not
typically receive much exposure. Fiesta! fosters an appreciation for Latin American classical
music and creates a meeting place for listeners of diverse backgrounds.
“Fiesta!” says the Uruguayan-born composer Elbio Barilari, “features the hottest LatinAmerican music from the 16th to the 21st centuries.” Mr. Barilari, a faculty member of the
University of Illinois at Chicago, is at the helm for this trip through the hidden pleasures of
Latino concert music, including the magical rhythms of Silvestre Revueltas and Heitor VillaLobos and the power of symphonic tango. Plus, the series shares little-known treasures from the
Latin-American Baroque, and celebrates classical guitar through the music of Agustin Barrios,
Antonio Lauro, and Leo Brouwer.

ELBIO BARILARI
Host
Fiesta!
Elbio Rodríguez Barilari was born in 1953 in Montevideo, Uruguay, where he studied at the
Conservatório Universitario and with Coriún Aharonián, Graciela Paraskevaídis and Héctor
Tosar before continuing his education in Brazil with Eduardo Bertola, Hans-Joachim
Koellreutter, Gilberto Mendes, Joaquín Orellana and Conrado Silva at the Cursos
Latinoamericanos de Música Contemporáne. He subsequently studied in Germany on an
invitation from the Deutscher Musikrat, with Milko Kelemen, Helmut Lachenmann and Dieter
Schnebel; he was also mentored while in Europe by Luciano Berio, Konrad Boehmer, Otto
Donner and Misha Mengelberg. As a clarinetist and saxophonist, from 1994 to 1997 Barilari led
the Barilari Quinteto and organized Planeta Blues, the first Uruguayan blues band to tour Europe
and to record a compact disc; during the 1990s, he also led the fourteen-piece La Banda Oriental.
Since settling in the United States in 1998, Barilari has lectured at the University of Chicago
and the Instituto Cervantes and given workshops in Chile and Paraguay; he is currently on the
faculty of the University of Illinois at Chicago. He has collaborated annually with the Grant
Park Music Festival since helping to organize a tribute concert to Astor Piazzolla in 2002, for
which he was also commissioned to write his Bandoneón Concerto. In June 2006, the Grant
Park Orchestra, conducted by Carlos Kalmar, premiered his Canyengue at Millennium Park;
that same season at Grant Park he also recruited and prepared the orchestra of native South
American instruments for the performance of Ariel Ramírez’s Misa Criolla. Barilari is also the
founder of “Global Warming,” a Chicago ensemble devoted to the exploration of various
cultural traditions.
Elbio Barilari has been closely involved with educational and community affairs, having served
as an advisor to the Ministry of Education and Culture in Uruguay, Uruguayan delegate to the
cultural section of MERCOSUR, and Deputy Commissioner of the Committee for the Reform
of the State of Illinois Code of Education. He has also been a member of the Community
Advisory Board of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra since 2001, and was appointed to the
CSO Programming Committee in 2006.
As a composer, Barilari has received commissions from the Grant Park Music Festival,
Concertante di Chicago, Chicago Park District, Chicago Composer Forums, Orquesta
Filarmonica de Montevideo, pianists Maria João Pires and Marcel Worms and guitarist
Eduardo Fernandez, and a grant from the Sara Lee Foundation. In addition to works for
orchestra, chamber ensembles and solo instruments, he has provided scores for more than forty
plays in the United States, Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay. In 2007, his Los Cantos
for Soprano, Choir and Orchestra was premiered at Lyric Opera of Chicago to celebrate the
fiftieth anniversary of the Chicago Children’s Choir. His Lincolniana, incorporating texts by
Carl Sandburg and Walt Whitman and featuring jazz trumpeter Orbert Davis, Goodman
Theatre actor-director Henry Godinez and the Ondas Ensemble, was first heard at the Ravinia

Presented every two years and based in Kalamazoo, Michigan, the Irving S. Gilmore
International Keyboard Festival is internationally recognized as North America’s finest piano
music festival. Now in its 25th year, nearly 100 events showcase some of the most notable and
accomplished pianists and keyboardists in the world alongside artists just emerging on the

to musical theater, the Festival continually achieves acclaim for presenting performances of the
highest artistic caliber.
This 13-part radio series focuses on classical music at the 2014 Gilmore Festival, featuring artists
such as Daniil Trifonov, Gilbert Kalish, Kirill Gerstein, as well as rising stars. The series also
includes exclusive interviews, at-the-piano demonstrations, and on-site recordings to give a
behind-the-scenes look at the artists' approach to their craft as well as exactly what it takes to put
on one of the world's most magnificent music festivals.
The first Gilmore International Keyboard Festival took place in 1991. The Festival spanned nine
days and encompassed 46 musical events, including a Music Critics Institute. The Gilmore
Keyboard Festival is set throughout West Michigan, with the main stage Festival events
occurring in Kalamazoo, a city just inland from Michigan’s beautiful west coast.
Now, every two years, The Gilmore presents two-plus weeks of superb piano performances –
nearly100 events. The Gilmore Keyboard Festival has become a leading American festival
known the world over for celebrating the joy and power of keyboard music in concerts, lectures,

Following the enormous success of the Beethoven Network classical music format service and in
response to radio station requests for low-cost, highly-quality hosted jazz hours, WFMT created the Jazz
Network, now 9 hours nightly of mainstream jazz programming, selected and hosted by the legendary
jazz expert Bob Parlocha.
Modeled after the BN service, the Jazz Network debuted in April 1997 with a strong and rapidly growing
base of affiliates. The qualities and features that have worked so well with Bach, Mozart and Beethoven
now apply to Evans, Coltrane and Parker through the Jazz Network.
Designed for you and your listeners, all Jazz Network hours can be fully customized as your local
program product. The service includes flexible hourly modules, with optional internal covered breaks
which allow for news, IDs, local promotion, funding credits or commercials, and customized continuity
with a local sound which will have your listeners convinced that Bob is sitting in your studio.
JazzTimes magazine listeners voted and Jazz Network with Bob Parlocha was declared the No. 1 best
syndicated jazz network (Jan-Feb 2003 issue).
Here are some comments about the Jazz Network (all quotes are from letters on file):
“...Parlocha is a pro and to pay attention to him and the music he selects is to be a part of a first
rate jazz educational experience...”
“The WFMT Jazz Network is the perfect cultural programming service for public radio. It’s both
listener-friendly and station-friendly, qualities which make it ideal for these lean and mean
times.”

BOB PARLOCHA
Program Director and Music Host
Jazz Network
Nationally known jazz expert and former program director/ host of KJAZ of San Francisco, Bob
Parlocha's rich, elegant voice is familiar to jazz audiences as host of the highly rated "Dinner Jazz Show"
at the former KJAZ.
Born and reared in Vallejo, California, Bob learned about jazz from his mother's Count Basie and Duke
Ellington records. He grew up listening to former KJAZ owner Pat Henry, broadcasting at that time on
KROW, and to Jerry Dean, who used to do a weekly KJAZ show from Vallejo. In high school Bob
played tenor and soprano saxophones, the flute, and sang in road bands.
For 10 years jazz remained a hobby while he worked in psychiatric nursing at UCSF, developing
interpersonal skills that would serve him well in the music business. After one routine day at the hospital,
he heard Pat Henry inviting prospective deejays to submit audition tapes to KJAZ. Bob sent in his tape
and Henry ultimately hired him to program Saturday evenings, which eventually led to the Dinner Jazz
shift.
A sensitive programmer, articulate spokesman for Jazz, and astute analyst of the music scene, Bob's
master of ceremonies style has enhanced many jazz concerts and fund-raises. His credits include the Gil
Evans Orchestra's concert at the Pacific Coast Collegiate Jazz Festival, the UC Berkeley Jazz Festival,
Oakland Arts Explosion, Jazz at the Palace, Bay Area Jazz Awards, the San Francisco International KJAZ
Festival, and KJAZ host on the SS Norway Jazz Cruises.
Bob's gourmet cooking hobby has also benefited KJAZ audiences. His "Cooking With Bob" column
appeared in the bimonthly KJAZ newsletters, and he has done several live remotes from Bay Area
restaurants on Dinner Jazz. When he's not recording segments for broadcast, he can be found in the
kitchen improvising dishes to satisfy his gourmet-cooking hobby. Besides his on-air duties at KJAZ, Bob
was music director, auditioning new releases and determining which albums and cuts fit the KJAZ mold.
Because KJAZ was one of only a handful of jazz stations nationally reporting air play to the prestigious
"Radio and Records" publication, which influences programming at hundreds of smaller stations and,
ultimately, record sales, he performed an extremely important function.
A highly creative producer, he has developed many interesting specialty shows. His catalog includes the
"Black Masters" series, "Latin Jazz," "On The Scene," spotlighting Bay Area musicians in live
performance, and "What's New," reviewing album releases with a Bay Area panel of experts. Parlocha
has also produced a number of albums for artists. His first was singer Laurie Antonioli's "Soul Eyes" on
Catero Records. He engineered the late Martha Young's "Live at Bajone's" album on the Carnelian label
and an album for pianist Steve Cohn.
Bob generously donates his time to jazz causes, especially those aiding Bay Area musicians. He also
delights in identifying and developing younger air talent. Bob still enjoys playing the saxophone and
sharing his talents with Bay Area audiences.

"Believe it or not, a little town in Northwest Ohio is one of the liveliest spots for new music in
the whole United States." – Stephen Stucky, winner of the 2005 Pulitzer Prize in Music
New Music from Bowling Green is a radio series devoted to living American composers and
their works. The program originates from the MidAmerican Center for Contemporary Music
(MACCM), part of the College of Musical Arts at Bowling Green State University in Northwest
Ohio. Since 1980, MACCM has been hosting some of the biggest names in modern music at the
annual New Music Festival. It also sponsors a multi-venue concert series called Music at the
Forefront, which shines a spotlight on new and exciting young performers of contemporary
music.
Produced by WGTE Public Media and hosted by Brad Cresswell, New Music from Bowling
Green draws on live concert recordings from the New Music Festival and Music at the Forefront,
as well as commercial recordings featuring the Bowling Green Philharmonia and the BGSU
Wind Symphony. Designed with the mainstream classical music listener in mind, the program
features audience-friendly modern works that are introduced by their composers. We also hear
from the performers who bring those works to life – in some cases, for the very first time.
The list of composers featured on New Music from Bowling Green reads like a "Who's Who of
Modern Music:" David Lang; Kevin Puts; John Luther Adams, Shulamit Ran; Christopher
Theofanides, and Michael Daugherty (among many others). We also focus heavily on the music
79
of Pulitzer Prize-winner Jennifer Higdon, who is one of the world's most-performed living
composers. Jennifer is an alumna of BGSU, having graduated from the College of Musical Arts
in the mid 1980's. While she entered the school as a flutist, Jennifer left as a budding composer.
In a special three-episode arc, she takes us on a tour of her works that relate directly to her
experiences at Bowling Green. Acclaimed conductor Robert Spano also makes an appearance,
to lend some insight into those formative years (he was on BGSU's faculty at the time). Other
highlights of the series include a program of award-winning works by student composers (some
of them still in high school), and a concert recorded live at New York City's celebrated new
music cabaret, (Le) Poisson Rouge.
About Brad Cresswell
Award-winning producer; programmer, and music host Brad Cresswell is Radio Program
Manager and Music Director for WGTE Public Media in Toledo, Ohio. For several years Brad
was a host and producer for WNYC Radio in New York, where he oversaw the creation of that
station's 24/7 classical music service on the Internet and HD Radio, WNYC2 (now WQXR's
popular Q2 channel). In 2007, Brad was a co-recipient of the first ASCAP Deems Taylor
Multimedia Award for his work on 24 Hours and 33 Minutes: The Playful and Playable John
Cage, an online contemporary music festival. During his time in New York, Brad also worked
behind the scenes at Metropolitan Opera Radio, where he wrote dozens of radio scripts for their
SirusXM channel. In front of the microphone, he can still be heard as a regular host of the
popular Metropolitan Opera Quiz, which is heard on over 300 radio stations world-wide. Before
entering public radio, Brad enjoyed an 18-year career as an operatic tenor, and performed leading
roles with the New York City Opera; Lyric Opera of Chicago; San Francisco Opera; Washington
Opera, and the Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires, among many others. His singing voice can be
heard on commercial classical recordings issued by the London, Philips, New World, Innova,
and Carlton Classics record labels.

Each year since its founding in 1919, the Los Angeles Philharmonic has been hailed as
Southern California’s leading performing arts institution. Today, under the dynamic leadership
of 33-year-old Venezuelan Gustavo Dudamel, who in 2009 became the orchestra’s eleventh
music director, the Philharmonic is still recognized as one of the world’s outstanding orchestras.
When he inaugurated his Philharmonic tenure at the Hollywood Bowl, a crowd of eighteen
thousand people greeted him with a hollering and stamping pop-star ovation.
There are three main elements behind Gustavo Dudamel’s appeal. The first is his astonishing
natural command of the art of conducting. Advance notice of his talent spread not through public
relations departments but in awestruck reports from such illustrious colleagues as Claudio
Abbado and Sir Simon Rattle, who encountered him on visits to Venezuela. Second, Maestro
Dudamel has an infectious emotional energy that tends to win over jaded souls in audiences and
orchestras alike. He does not have the stone-faced mask of seriousness; his bright eyes and
wriggling features suggest that he revels in what he does. Finally, his Latino background puts a
new face on an art that is widely viewed as an all-white affair. He is a product of El Sistema,
Venezuela’s legendary network of youth orchestras, which draws talent from the poorest sections
of the country, and his perspective is bracingly different from that of the staid conservatory
graduate.
The Orchestra’s involvement with Los Angeles extends far beyond regular symphony concerts in
a concert hall. It embraces the schools, churches, and neighborhood centers of a huge and vastly
85
diverse community. In fact, the Los Angeles Philharmonic devotes much of its energy and
resources to ensuring that its presence is felt in every corner of Los Angeles. Each year, there is
a 30-week winter subscription season at the extraordinary Walt Disney Concert Hall, and a 12week summer festival at the world-famous Hollywood Bowl, where “Music Under the Stars” has
been a popular tradition since 1922.
The Philharmonic owes its birth to William Andrews Clark, Jr., a multi-millionaire and amateur
musician, who established the city’s first permanent symphony orchestra in 1919. The 94
musicians of the new ensemble met for their first rehearsal Monday morning, October 13 of that
year, under the direction of Walter Henry Rothwell, whom Clark had brought from the St. Paul
(Minnesota) Symphony Orchestra. Eleven days later, Rothwell conducted the Orchestra’s
premiere performance before a capacity audience of 2,400 at Trinity Auditorium in downtown
Los Angeles. Following its opening season in 1919-1920, the Orchestra made Philharmonic
Auditorium, on the northeast corner of Fifth and Olive, its home for the next 44 years. Mr.
Rothwell remained the Orchestra’s music director until his death in 1927. Since then, ten
renowned conductors have served in that capacity:
George Schnéevoigt (1927-1929)
Artur Rodzinski (1929-1933)
Otto Klemperer (1933-1939)
Alfred Wallenstein (1943-1956)
Eduard van Beinum (1956-1959)
Zubin Mehta (1962-1978)
Carlo Maria Giulini (1978-1984)
André Previn (1985-1989)
Esa-Pekka Salonen (1992-2009)
Gustavo Dudamel (2009-present)
Since its first season, the Philharmonic has made downtown Los Angeles its winter home. It was
in December 1964 that it began its residency at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion of the Music
Center of Los Angeles County, and in the fall of 2003, the Philharmonic took up residence in the
acoustically superb, stunning Frank Gehry-designed Walt Disney Concert Hall – the fourth
performing venue in the Music Center complex. At the same time, the Los Angeles
Philharmonic Association vastly increased the number of concerts it presents during the winter
season, which now includes jazz, world music, organ recitals, Baroque concerts, holiday
programs and much more.

ages worldwide. Currently serving as music director of both the Simón Bolívar Symphony
Orchestra of Venezuela and the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the impact of his musical leadership
is felt on four continents. While his commitment to these posts accounts for the major portion of
his yearly schedule, Dudamel also guest conducts with some of the world’s greatest musical
institutions. This season he returns to the Vienna and Berlin Philharmonics, and tours with La

Conductor.
Gustavo Dudamel is in his fifth season as Music Director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic,
where his contract has already been extended through 2018-19, the orchestra’s 100th season. An
exclusive Deutsche Grammophon artist since 2005, Grammy winner Gustavo Dudamel has
numerous recordings on the label, as well as many video/DVD releases which capture the
excitement of significant moments in his musical life.
Gustavo Dudamel is one of the most decorated conductors of his generation, examples of which
include Musical America’s 2013 Musician of the Year, 2013 Gramophone Hall of Fame, 2010
Eugene McDermott Award in the Arts at MIT, 2009 l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres as a
Chevalier and one of Time Magazine’s 100 most influential people, 2008 “Q Prize” from

mentoring experiences molding his commitment to music as an engine for social change – a
lifelong passion. In 2012, Gustavo and Eloísa Dudamel launched The Dudamel Foundation,

The WFMT Radio Network is pleased to announce our offering of the one-hour series, Mad
About Music with host Gilbert Kaplan.
For more than 10 years Mad About Music has delved into the musical heart of some of the
world’s most celebrated and influential personalities. Originally airing in New York on WNYC
and WQXR, Mad About Music is now syndicated for broadcast.
Created and hosted by Gilbert Kaplan, Mad About Music’s format is part interview, part
musical performance. Internationally famous guests select five key musical works and discuss
why those pieces are important to them. The interviews are always personal–and often
humorous—as some of the world’s most famous people reveal aspects of their personalities
largely unknown to the public.
“Gilbert Kaplan is an ideal host for Mad About Music combining considerable interviewing
skills with a grand passion for music,” said WNYC/WQXR radio president and CEO Laura
Walker.

Conductor FRANZ WELSER-MÖST on conducting without a rehearsal
The first time I conducted here [Vienna State Opera] was in ’87. I was the assistant to
Claudio Abbado for one season when he was music director here. Then there was this
long gap. And then I conducted again: I stepped in, without any rehearsal, doing Tristan.
And, you know, of course with rehearsals I would have done certain things differently.
But the excitement of that night, I will never forget – and also it seems that the audience
and the orchestra has not forgotten that.

Playwright JOHN GUARE on why Arthur Schnabel is such a great pianist
I picked Schnabel which is an old recording and it is not considered the finest. Schnabel
is criticized for being too rough, and maybe too personal. But you really feel that
Schnabel is climbing some kind of mountain, and doing battle, and having a great time
with it and so that’s why I love this.

Conductor MARISS JANSONS on how to avoid problems with orchestras
First, I think, you should know what you really want, how this piece should sound. You
should have an interpretation model and you should know the sound model. You must
come prepared completely 100%, and know what you want from your musicians. When
you start too much improvisation, people feel, oh, he’s not sure, you immediately lose
your authority.

Former Chief Executive of Sony SIR HOWARD STRINGER on his trumpet solo
mistake
By the time I was seventeen, I was first trumpet in the school orchestra and we were
going to be recorded playing the Messiah and obviously the trumpet part in the Messiah
is quite tricky. I played the solo, “The trumpet shall sound,” and I had played it in
rehearsal that morning and I got it perfectly. And then [in the concert] came the
94
moment when I stood up to play the solo for “The trumpet shall sound” and I got half
way through it and I blew up. My lip went. I just sagged. And it was heartbreaking.

Actor ALEC BALDWIN on why he doesn’t connect to Mozart
This is going to sound blasphemous in a way, I would imagine some people are going to
cringe, but I think the person who I listen to the least is Mozart. For some reason, I just
don’t respond as much to Mozart’s music. Again, I don’t hate it, but I would much rather
have a dark, brooding piece from Mahler or Beethoven than the gaiety of some of

Former FBI Agent ROBERT WITTMAN on how Chopin influenced his decision
to become an art sleuth
I was playing the Fantaisie Impromptu and while I was playing, I thought there’s a
couple of cases I had worked on earlier in my career; and the ones that were most
important to me where I got the most self-satisfaction were the cases where I was able
to recover artwork, cultural property, that belongs to all of us throughout the world, not
just to museums or collectors but to humanity, and all generations past and to come. As
I was playing, the music really swept me away at the moment and made a decision for
me.

I saw 13 times. As you can see, I get these crazy passions.

This special is available free of charge to all affiliate stations for one broadcast in the week of
November 1.
This three-act opera is based on Edmond Rostand’s celebrated stage drama of 1897, Cyrano de
Bergerac, a romantic tragedy.
Cyrano de Bergerac, Rostand’s most popular play, blends nostalgia for 17th century French life
with swashbuckling heroism, romance, and lyrical verse. Cyrano, a nobleman with a larger-thanlife personality, skilled in both the sword and the pen, is physically plain with a rather large nose.
Despite his overwhelming love for the beautiful Roxane, Cyrano agrees to help his younger rival,
the handsome Christian, to win her heart. From the renowned balcony scene to the moving
climax, the triumph of the spiritual over the corporeal is ultimately achieved. Cyrano, similar to
Don Quixote and Don Juan, has become one of the world’s most enduring and popular literary
figures.
Composer Dr. David DiChiera is the founding general director of Michigan Opera Theatre in
Detroit, Michigan, and founding general director (1986-1996) of Opera Pacific in Orange
County, California. Both are among the top professional opera companies in the United States.
He is the only general director in the nation to have founded and led two important companies in
what was a unique and precedent-setting arts collaboration. As a composer, David DiChiera’s
music continues to receive critical acclaim. His Four Sonnets, with verses by Edna St. Vincent
Millay composed for soprano and piano, premiered at the Kennedy Center in Washington, the
work “beautifully crafted and warmly expressive of the poetry.” Paul Hume of the Washington
Post called DiChiera “a composer with great sensitivity and keen awareness of the beauties for
101
the voice.” A children’s opera, Rumpelstiltskin, written in collaboration with Karen VanderKloot
DiChiera, has been performed nationally. In 2007, DiChiera realized yet another dream as his
new opera, Cyrano, received its highly anticipated world premiere at the Detroit Opera
House. Cyrano, composed by DiChiera, to a libretto by Bernard Uzan, will also be presented by
Florida Grand Opera and Opera Company of Philadelphia.

Welcome to The Midnight Special, one of the most enduring of syndicated folk music radio
programs, available through the WFMT Radio Network. The Midnight Special was established
in Chicago on 98.7 WFMT-FM in 1953, and went national in 1971. It has stayed current through
decades of change, rich in tradition and history while retaining its timeliness, delighting listeners
throughout the world with gentle irreverence or touching them with candid observation.
In 1953, Mike Nichols, (then a WFMT announcer and now one of the most respected stage and
film directors), developed The Midnight Special as a showcase for recorded folk music. Over
the years, The Midnight Special has evolved into an eclectic mixture of song and story that
attracts not only a loyal following, but also new, younger listeners with each broadcast. They
hear an incredibly diverse selection of artists, from the traditional to the contemporary: Pete
Seeger and The Weavers, the New Lost City Ramblers, Joan Baez, Tom Paxton, Arlo Guthrie,
Mike Cross, Ani DiFranco, Greg Brown, Alison Krauss and Anais Mitchell, to name a few,
along with comedy from the likes of Bill Cosby, Bob Newhart and Mitchell & Webb. Material
comes from an unrivaled library of over 13,000 CDs, 5,000 LPs and 55 years of live concert and
studio recordings that began with Pete Seeger and Big Bill Broonzy in a concert that became a
Folkways album.
Thousands of traditional and contemporary folk performers and comedians fill this two-hour
spontaneous entertainment program that we call The Midnight Special. Original, offbeat, and
always entertaining, The Midnight Special offers listeners a program of music, madness and
mayhem – a lively potpourri of folk, Celtic and bluegrass, show and novelty tunes, and hilarious
104
comedy routines.
The Midnight Special often airs live performances recorded by WFMT over the past 60 years
that are not available commercially, including well-known artists appearing at Chicago-area
clubs, the University of Chicago Folk Festivals, and the comedy revues of Chicago’s famed
Second City troupe. Tomorrow’s folk stars are on The Midnight Special this week!
Rich Warren has hosted folk programs for over 40 years, including 35 years with The Midnight
Special, while remaining committed to seeking out new music. He attends the international and
regional Folk Alliance conferences as well as other folk music events in search of tomorrow’s
songwriters and performers. He studied folk music in college with an acknowledged authority,
the late Archie Green. Warren also wrote for Sing Out, the national folk music magazine, for 20
years. He was named “Broadcaster of the Year” by the International Folk Alliance Conference
in 2008.
A photograph of Rich Warren is available upon request, and a yearly fund-raising program is
also available.

Millennium of Music is the world’s longest running program featuring early music. Host and
producer Robert Aubry Davis regularly presents music from major European music festivals
which can be heard weekly on radio stations throughout the United States.
What began as a local Sunday morning program on WJCT-FM in Jacksonville, Florida, moved
to WETA in 1978, when Davis returned to his home town of Washington, DC. At that time,
Program Director Martin Goldsmith suggested that the idea of a genuine early music program,
with much emphasis on Gregorian chant, would be appropriate for Easter. The program began as
a regular part of the schedule on Easter Sunday in 1980. The next visionary to touch the program
was Mary Beth Kirchner, a producer brought on board to help create national programming, who
believed in the inevitability of taking the program to a wider audience.

Among the finest orchestras in the country, the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra is the largest
cultural organization in Wisconsin. Since its inception in 1959, the Milwaukee Symphony
Orchestra has consistently received critical acclaim for artistic excellence. Today, the MSO
continues to reach new heights under the baton of its sixth music director, Edo de Waart. In
addition to his present position as Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra’s Music Director, Maestro de
Waart is also Chief Conductor and Artistic Director of the Hong Kong Philharmonic; Chief
Conductor and Artistic Advisor of The Santa Fe Opera; Conductor Laureate of the Netherlands
Radio Philharmonic Orchestra; and Artistic Partner of the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra since the
2010/2011 season. He has also held posts with the Sydney Symphony, San Francisco
Symphony, Minnesota and Rotterdam Philharmonic orchestras.
The symphony’s 88 full-time professional musicians perform more than 140 concerts each
season. Each of the MSO’s resident musicians is a gifted virtuoso. In addition to performing
with the MSO, these musicians provide a strong professional core within Milwaukee’s thriving
arts community. Orchestra players make frequent appearances with other local ensembles,
perform as soloists internationally, and serve as teachers and mentors to music students and area
youth. A cornerstone organization in Milwaukee’s art community, the MSO provides
enrichment and education activities for audiences of every age, economic status, and
113
background. The MSO’s education and outreach programs are among the most highly regarded
of any American symphony. Through initiatives such as Youth & Teen Concerts, MSO Stars of
Tomorrow, and the nationally-acclaimed Arts in Community Education (ACE) program. The
most comprehensive education initiative ever undertaken by an American orchestra, the MSO
has become a national leader in arts education programming.

Music Director Alan Gilbert and the New York Philharmonic welcome you to the 2014-15
syndicated radio broadcasts by one of the world’s longest-running and most celebrated
orchestras.
Of the 52 weekly two-hour broadcasts that make up this series, many will make use of material
from the orchestra’s 2013-2014 subscription season. Interspersed throughout the year are
programs taken from the Philharmonic’s tours, Summertime Classics, and the orchestra’s
residency at the Bravo! Vail Valley Music Festival in Colorado. There will also be a handful of
thematic programs and encore presentations that explore the breadth and depth of the
Philharmonic’s extensive library of commercial and archival recordings.
The New York Philharmonic’s first live national radio broadcast took place on October 5, 1930,
over the CBS radio network. On that Sunday, Erich Kleiber was on the podium leading the
Orchestra at Carnegie Hall. Since that historic broadcast, the Philharmonic has enjoyed an almost
continuous presence on national radio. Advancing its role as a media pioneer, the Philharmonic,
since 2002, has shared its radio broadcasts with a worldwide audience through its website,
nyphil.org. In 2004 the New York Philharmonic was the first major American orchestra to offer
downloadable concerts, recorded live. Following on this innovation, in 2009 the Orchestra
118
announced the first-ever subscription download series, Alan Gilbert: The Inaugural Season,
available exclusively on iTunes, produced and distributed by the New York Philharmonic, and
comprised of more than 50 works performed during the 2009-10 season. The self-produced
iTunes Pass Series has continued each and every year since then. Since 1917 the Philharmonic
has made nearly 2,000 recordings, with more than 500 currently available — including two
recent releases on Da Capo featuring music of Carl Nielsen and Magnus Lindberg.
The New York Philharmonic This Week, which began in 2004 and is syndicated nationally by
the WFMT Radio Network, has been the recipient of numerous awards, including a Gold World
Medal in the category of Best Sound, and its second Bronze World Medal in the category of Best
Regularly Scheduled Music Program at the 2013 New York Festivals Radio Programs and
Promotions Awards. The program has also won awards for Best Classical Format and Best
Announcer Presentation.
Broadcasts are available on the Philharmonic’s website, nyphil.org, for two weeks following the
original uplink. Emmy and Golden-Globe Award-winning actor Alec Baldwin is the host of the
program, New York Philharmonic Audio Producer Mark Travis is the writer and producer, and
New York Philharmonic Audio Director Lawrence Rock is the engineer for the series.
On June 18, 2010, The New York Philharmonic was honored with two 2009-10 ASCAP Awards
for Adventurous Programming at the League of American Orchestras’ Annual Meeting at its
65th National Conference in Atlanta, Georgia. The Philharmonic received the Award for
American Programming on Foreign Tours, and a First Place Award for Programming of
Contemporary Music. The following year, the Philharmonic received the 2010-11 ASCAP
Award for Adventurous Programming, winning first place in the Awards for Programming
Contemporary Music. For 2012-13, the orchestra was again awarded the ASCAP Award for
Adventurous Programming and the Leonard Bernstein Award for Educational Programming.
This exciting broadcast venture is made possible with the generous support of The Kaplen
Foundation and the Audrey Love Charitable Foundation, the Philharmonic’s corporate partner,
MetLife Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts.

We continue Relevant Tones, a weekly exploration of the most fascinating time in classical
music history: right now. From up-and-coming firebrands to established artists, this series
features music and in-person interviews from the hottest festivals around the world, celebrates
the major figures shaping classical music today, spots emerging trends, shines a light on lesser
known but fascinating composers, and features music recorded in dynamic live broadcasts.
Host, composer and Executive Director of Access Contemporary Music, Seth Boustead brings an
informative but engagingly down-to-earth presentation that provides a context for the music and
connects with listeners of all ages to present classical music as a diverse art form with a storied
history that is alive and thriving in the 21st century.
With its informative, yet engagingly down-to-earth presentation, Relevant Tones seeks to make
contemporary music accessible to diehard classical music fans while attracting new and younger
listeners. Seth Boustead draws from the entire classical music canon to put modern-day
compositions in context, exploring the social and musical influences on their creation. Guest
appearances by composers and performers are a vital part of the program, offering a first-person
perspective that gives insight and depth to their art form and its creation.
Since launching in July 2011 on 98.7 WFMT in Chicago, Relevant Tones has garnered
significant praise from critics and listeners alike. Examiner.com named it one of the best shows
in the world for new classical music, and ChicagoMusic.org says that it is “changing the way
audiences experience modern music.” Listener response has been equally positive, with fans
124
praising Boustead’s “invigorating selections,” “enlightening commentary” and hailing the show
as a “long-overdue addition” of new music to the station’s programming. Relevant Tones is
broadcast on more than 196 markets in the US and worldwide.

The WFMT Radio Network continues our 2014 American Opera Series with San Francisco
Opera – eight operas from their past season and two operas from the San Francisco Opera
archives. Performed in the War Memorial Opera House, San Francisco Opera’s home since
October 1932, these operas will enhance the Network’s opera offerings during the hiatus of the
Metropolitan Opera. This year’s series will include Wagner’s The Flying Dutchman, Rossini’s
The Barber of Seville, Puccini’s Tosca, and many more!
The second largest opera company in North America, San Francisco Opera was founded by
Gaetano Merola in 1923. The company’s first performance (La Bohème) took place on
September 26, 1923 in the city’s Civic Auditorium, with Queena Mario and Giovanni Martinelli
and conducted by Gaetano Merola himself. Nine years later, the company moved into its
permanent home, inaugurating the newly built War Memorial Opera House with a performance
of Tosca on October 15, 1932 with Claudia Muzio, Dino Borgioli, Alfredo Gandolfi, and
conducted by Merola.
Following Gaetano Merola’s death in 1953, San Francisco Opera was led by Kurt Herbert Adler
until 1981; by Terence A. McEwen until 1988; by Lotfi Mansouri until 2001; and by Pamela
Rosenberg until 2006. For the past seven years, the company has been under the exciting
direction of David Gockley.
San Francisco Opera has presented the United States debut performances of numerous artists,
including Inge Borkh, Boris Christoff, Marie Collier, Sir Geraint Evans, Mafalda Favero, Tito
129
Gobbi, Sena Jurinac, Mario del Monaco, Birgit Nilsson, Leontyne Price, Margaret Price, Leonie
Rysanek, Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, Giulietta Simionato, Renata Tebaldi, and Ingvar Wixell;
conductors Gerd Albrecht, Valery Gergiev, Sir Georg Solti, and Silvio Varviso; and directors
Francis Ford Coppola, Harry Kupfer, and Jean-Pierre Ponnelle.

Since its beginning in 1911, the San Francisco Symphony has been known for innovative
programs that offer a spectrum of traditional repertory and new music. Today, the
Orchestra’s artistic vitality, recordings, and groundbreaking multimedia educational
projects carry its impact throughout American musical life.
“At a time when America’s major orchestras are struggling to define their
missions and maintain audiences, the San Francisco Symphony under Michael
Tilson Thomas is an exception.”
— The New York Times
The San Francisco Symphony has grown in stature and acclaim under such distinguished
music directors as Henry Hadley, Alfred Hertz, the legendary Pierre Monteux, Josef
Krips, Seiji Ozawa, Edo de Waart and Herbert Blomstedt. Current Music Director
Michael Tilson Thomas assumed the post in 1995. Together, he and the San Francisco
Symphony have formed a musical partnership hailed as “one of the most inspiring and
adventurous in the country.” Maestro Tilson Thomas and the Orchestra have also been
praised by the critics for their musicianship, for their innovative programming, for
bringing the works of American composers to the fore, and for bringing new audiences
into Davies Symphony Hall.
138
“In most places, and certainly in London, the presence of many of the (American
Mavericks Festival) composers – from Charles Ives to John Adams to Steve Reich
– would have emptied halls. But the audiences in San Francisco have been large,
varied, attentive, and enthusiastic. Something quite special, perhaps even
revolutionary, is going on.”
— The Times (London)
The San Francisco Symphony has toured extensively to Europe, Asia and throughout the
United States. It has won some of the world’s most prestigious recording awards,
including eleven Grammy Awards, Japan’s Record Academy Award, France’s Grand
Prix du Disque, and Britain’s Gramophone Award.
“The San Francisco Symphony, led since 1995 by the brilliant and musically
restless Michael Tilson Thomas, gave the kind of performance that proves yet
again that the best is the enemy of the better.”
— The Washington Post
With the launch of the San Francisco Symphony’s own SFS Media label in 2001,
Michael Tilson Thomas and the Orchestra embarked on a project to record all of
Mahler’s symphonies and song cycles. The label’s first offering, Symphony No. 6, was
released to international acclaim and received the 2003 Grammy Award for Best
Orchestral Performance. The recordings of seven more Mahler symphonies have been
released since, and the project has received three more Grammy Awards – Best Classical
Album for Symphony No. 3 and Kindertotenlieder, with mezzo-soprano Michelle
DeYoung, and both Best Classical Album and Best Orchestral Performance for
Symphony No. 7.
The SFS is also delivering multimedia content designed to make classical music
accessible to people of all ages and backgrounds – Keeping Score can be experienced on
PBS-TV, DVD, the Internet (keepingscore.org), and radio (The MTT Files), also
available from The WFMT Radio Network. Call Tony at (773) 279-2114.
“Can every conductor be Michael Tilson Thomas? Obviously not! But every
conductor can learn from him the value of bringing a sense of adventure back to
the concert hall.”

The WFMT Radio Network invites your listeners to travel to Santa Fe, New Mexico through the
sounds of thirteen new one-hour radio concerts from the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival.
Now in its ninth season, the program has been broadcast across the United States and around the
world.
One of the world’s leading performing arts festivals, the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival is
known for its enduring commitment to tradition, artistic excellence, innovation, and vision. Our
weekly radio series reflects the Festival’s high standards and varied repertoire by presenting
superbly recorded concerts and recitals by some of today’s greatest musical artists.
The 2014 Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival radio series features performances recorded in 2013
in Santa Fe, New Mexico during this celebrated music festival's 41th summer season. Each
broadcast hour typically contains two full-length works representing chamber music's core
repertoire. The Festival also remains dedicated to lesser known composers and compositions, and
to commissioning new works.
148
Veteran WFMT announcer Kerry Frumkin hosts the series along with Santa Fe Chamber Music
Festival artistic director, Marc Neikrug. Many of the performers provide additional commentary
as they describe their experiences at the Festival and the music they've played here.
Here are some highlights from the 2014 Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival radio series:
•
Pianist Garrick Ohlsson, the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival 2013 Artist-in-Residence,
plays Chopin’s Barcarolle in F sharp Major, Op. 60 in Week 4, a program in which he
also collaborates with violinist William Preucil and the Orion String Quartet to perform
the Concerto for Violin, Piano & String Quartet in D Major, Op. 21 by Ernest Chausson.
In Week 5, Mr. Ohlsson joins a Festival ensemble for the Sextet for Piano and Winds in
B-flat Major, Op. 6 by Ludwig Thuille.
•
Internationally celebrated conductor Lawrence Foster leads a chamber orchestra of
Festival musicians in two vocal works. Baritone Matthew Worth sings the Arnold
Schoenberg arrangement of Gustav Mahler’s Songs of a Wayfarer. Later in the series,
soprano Lucy Shelton delivers her signature performance of Schoenberg’s Pierrot
lunaire, Op. 21, Part 2.
•
Some of the many gems from the chamber repertoire include Mozart’s Piano Trio No. 3
in B-flat Major, K. 502 as performed by long-time collaborators, violinist Ida Kavafian,
cellist Peter Wiley, and pianist Anne-Marie McDermott. Baritone Matthew Worth sings
Robert Schumann’s Dichterliebe, Op. 48 with pianist Shai Wosner. J.S Bach’s
Orchestral Suite No. 2 in B Minor, BWV 1067 comes brilliantly to life performed by
flutist Tara Helen O’Connor and the Orion Quartet, with bassist Kristen Bruya and
Kathleen McIntosh at the harpsichord. Robert Ingliss is the featured soloist in the Oboe
Concerto on Themes of Cimarosa by Arthur Benjamin.
•
These Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival concerts also include three pieces composed
within the last 40 years. Violinist Lily Francis, violist Teng Li, cellist Nicholas
Canellakis, and pianist Inon Barnatan perform Marc-André Dalbavie’s new Piano
Quartet, a Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival and La Jolla Music Society commission. In
Week 7, the Johannes String Quartet honors the late Henri Dutilleux by playing his Ainsi
la nuit for String Quartet, and in Week 9, the FLUX Quartet performs the String Quartet
No. 4 by the Festival’s artistic director, Marc Neikrug.
•
Week 11 begins with Beethoven’s Quintet for Piano and Winds in E-flat Major, Op. 16,
and ends with Erwin Schulhoff’s Sextet for Strings. Violinist Soovin Kim, cellist Peter
Stumpf, and pianist Jeremy Denk bring the 13-part season to a close with the Piano Trio
No. 1 in B Major, Op. 8 by Johannes Brahms.
Other repertoire comes from composers Alfredo Piatti, Anton Arensky, Antonín Dvořák, Felix

The WFMT Radio Network is very pleased to announce the syndication of the Spoleto
Chamber Music Festival in conjunction with South Carolina ETV Radio. For over 30 years
this 13-week series of 1-hour concerts has showcased world-class musicians from the Spoleto
Festival USA.
Hosted by NPR commentator Miles Hoffman, these concerts will feature performances recorded
live from the historic Dock Street Theatre in Charleston, South Carolina, during the 2012 Spoleto
Festival USA.
Vibrant young musicians featured on the series include cellist Alisa Weilerstein and pianist Inon
Barnatan, paired with veteran performers such as flutist Tara Helen O’Connor, clarinetist Todd
Palmer, and the members of the St. Lawrence String Quartet. The series includes celebrated
master works from J.S. Bach, Haydn, Mozart, Schubert, and Debussy, as well as 21st century
music from composers Osvaldo Golijov and Hooshyar Khayam.

Highlights of the series include:
• Claude Debussy’s Prelude to The Afternoon of a Faun as envisioned for chamber
ensemble by Arnold Schoenberg
• Clarinetist Todd Palmer, cellist Alisa Weilerstein, and pianist Inon Barnatan perform one
of Brahms’ late masterpieces for the clarinet, the “Trio for Clarinet, Cello, and Piano in A

composer Hooshyar Khayam (b. 1978) performed by clarinetist Todd Palmer and pianist

Quinten String Quartet, Op.76 No. 2, and Mozart’s String Quartet in D Minor, K 421

The Aspen Music Festival and School recently celebrated the 20th anniversary of its intimate
recital venue, the Joan and Irving Harris Concert Hall. In this one-hour musical profile, the
WFMT Radio Network presents selections from their gala concert recorded in August 2013.
In 1949, Elizabeth and Walter Paepcke produced the Goethe Bicentennial Convocation and
Music Festival in Aspen, Colorado, planting the seeds for a musical life that still flourishes
today. Since its earliest days, one of the signature experiences at the Aspen Music Festival has
been to attend concerts at the big music tent, sitting outdoors listening to sublime music while
also hearing the rustling of aspen trees and the calls of magpies, as well as the occasional barking
dog, passing airplane or thunderstorm. As the Festival matured into its fourth decade, it became
clear that the time had come for a more intimate, acoustically superior home where audiences
and musicians could enjoy chamber music and more.
Since opening its doors in 1993, the Joan and Irving Harris Concert Hall has provided the AMFS
with a state-of-the-art, 500-seat jewel box facility for year-round concerts, master classes and
recording projects. Aspen architect Harry Teague provided the design, and twenty years on,
Harris Hall is poised to continue as a premier venue for decades to come. The Aspen Music
Festival and School is an international destination for classical musicians, music students, and
music lovers, presenting over 300 musical events during its eight-week summer season, and
drawing top classical musicians from around the world for an unparalleled combination of
performances and music education.
162
In August 2013, the Festival celebrated the 20th anniversary of Harris Hall with a special concert
featuring AMFS students, alumni and artist faculty, including violinist Robert McDuffie,
guitarist Sharon Isbin, and conductor Joshua Weilerstein. This one-hour profile is filled with
great music from that event, sounds which echo the repertoire of the 1993 inaugural gala concert
and reflect the composers’ and performers’ experiences at the Aspen Music Festival and School.
Joan Tower – The Fifth Fanfare for the Uncommon Woman (1993)
Conrad Jones, Scott Batchelder, Alec Blazek, John Parker, trumpets;
Joshua Weilerstein, conductor
Joan Tower wrote the Fifth Fanfare for the Uncommon Woman in 1993 on a commission from
the Aspen Music Festival for the opening of the Joan and Irving Harris Concert Hall, and
dedicated it to Joan Harris.
John Corigliano – Troubadours, Variations for Guitar And Chamber Orchestra (1993)
Sharon Isbin, guitar; Festival Ensemble ; Joshua Weilerstein, conductor
2013 marked the 20th anniversary of Troubadours, which John Corigliano composed especially
for guitarist Sharon Isbin, both of whom have spent alpine summers at the AMFS. Sharon Isbin
performs with an ensemble of Festival musicians, under the direction of alum Joshua
Weilerstein.
Vivaldi – Movement III from Concerto For Three Violins In F Major, Rv 551 (1711)
Robert McDuffie, Jessica Fellows, and Jecoliah Wang, violins; Festival Ensemble.
When alumnus and longtime artist-faculty member Robert McDuffie organized Harris Concert
Hall's 20th anniversary concert, he did so with a "tip of the hat" to the Hall's gala opening back in
1993, and by reprising a Vivaldi triple concerto heard that night. He also tapped into the Aspen
Music Festival experience by sharing the stage with some talented young Festival players,
Jessica Fellows and Jecoliah Wang, who also study with him at the Robert McDuffie Center for
Strings at Mercer University.
Philip Glass – Movement IV from Violin Concerto No. 2, 'American Four Seasons' (2009)
Robert McDuffie, violin; Festival Ensemble
Violinist Robert McDuffie and composer Philip Glass both studied at Aspen, although some
years apart. When McDuffie envisioned a violin concerto that would serve as a companion piece
to the Vivaldi “Four Seasons” concertos, he turned to Glass, encouraging the composer to stay
true to his own musical language. Robert McDuffie premiered American Four Seasons in 2009,
with the Music Festival participating in the co-commission, and is the soloist in this energetic
performance.
WFMT's Kerry Frumkin hosts the program with commentary by many of the principals
involved, including composer Joan Tower, guitarist Sharon Isbin, violinist Robert McDuffie,
AMFS president Alan Fletcher, Joan Harris, and others.

The WFMT Radio Network invites your listeners to Turkey and the shores of the Bosphorus for
Scheherazade and Other Musical Tales from the Borusan Istanbul Philharmonic
Orchestra. This one-hour, music-based profile includes selections from the Borusan Istanbul
Philharmonic Orchestra's latest CD, their third collaboration with the bespoke classical label
ONYX Classics, along with commentary from many of the principals involved.
"We're coming together here to create an orchestra from Turkey with an
international voice. Being in Istanbul we can say it's like building a bridge, not
over the Bosphorus but musically, building it to Western Europe, the U.S. and
abroad."
— Sascha Goertzel, Music and Artistic Director, Borusan Istanbul Philharmonic
Orchestra
"What Sascha Goetzel was keen to do is to bring out of these incredibly talented
musicians the music from Turkey and its region, and to bring some of that color
and passion to their playing of western classical music. So there is a unique sound
here, and they're on a fascinating journey through the area, through legends, and
with some regional instruments as well adding a bit of color."
— Matthew Cosgrove, General Manager, ONYX Classics
164
"When you think of classical music you never think about Turkey! We are new, but we
have something to say and we have something to show. This is another culture combining
with ours and the end result is something magical!”
— Zeynep Hamedi, Chairperson, Borusan Culture and Arts
Since its founding in 1999, the Borusan Istanbul Philharmonic Orchestra has established itself as
a world-class symphony orchestra with a unique voice. The new album finds the ensemble
exploring the eastern musical roots of late 19th and early 20th-century Europe, as well as
elements from the eastern side of the Bosphorus which influenced the western cultural
background of many composers.
Musical selections from this special include:
Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov
Mily Alexeyevich Balakirev
Mikhail Ippolitov-Ivonov
Ulvi Cemal Erkin
Scheherazade
Islamey
Caucasian Sketches
Köçekçe, Dance Rhapsody for Orchestra
A stunning tour de force of the sort now expected from this remarkable orchestra under their
charismatic music director, Sascha Goetzel, the new album includes Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's
masterpiece Scheherazade and Mikhail Ippolitov-Ivanov's atmospheric Caucasian Sketches.
Both composers had intimate knowledge of the Arabic instruments of the Caucasus, Turkey and
the Middle East, and successfully emulated those instruments and sounds in their music. By
using original instruments from those regions, Sascha Goetzel and the Borusan Istanbul
Philharmonic Orchestra have created musical imagery which is closer to that which the
composers had in mind when creating music for western-style orchestras. Throughout
Scheherazade you will hear different traditional Turkish and Arabian percussion instruments: the
Oud, Ney, Darbuka, Def, Bendir, Kudüm as well as oriental triangles and cymbals supporting
Rimsky-Korsakov's “kaleidoscope of fairy-tale images. “Sergei Lyapunov's lively orchestration
of Mily Alexeyevich Balakirev's Oriental fantasy Islamey, and the sparkling Köçekçe by Turkish
composer Ulvi Cemal Erkin, complete an exotic journey through the countryside, folklore and
sound world of Turkey and her neighboring regions.
About the Borusan Istanbul Philharmonic Orchestra
The Borusan Istanbul Philharmonic Orchestra (BIPO) began as the Borusan Chamber Orchestra,
one of the first ventures in the field of culture and the arts by Borusan Holding, a leading
industrial conglomerate in Turkey. In 1999 it was transformed into one of the leading Turkish
philharmonic ensembles under its former artistic director and principal conductor Gürer Aykal.
Conductor Sascha Goetzel has been the Artistic Director and Principal Conductor of the Borusan
Istanbul Philharmonic Orchestra since 2008.
About Sascha Goetzel
Vienna-born Sascha Goetzel’s trademarks are fascinating conviction, exceptional musicality and
dedication, as audiences and the international press have unanimously confirmed. Sascha
Goetzel is Artistic Director and Principal Conductor of the Borusan Istanbul Philharmonic
Orchestra, and Principal Conductor of the Kuopio Symphony Orchestra, Finland, and has
achieved supreme artistic standards as well as international recognition for both. Since the 2012-
165
2013 season he has also been appointed Principal Guest Conductor of the Orchestre
Symphonique de Bretagne and the Kanagawa Philharmonic Orchestra in Japan.

From the Music Academy of the West in Santa Barbara, California, Carol Burnett hosts this
sparkling two-hour broadcast special featuring young artists destined for the top of their field.
Some 1,700 musicians apply to the Music Academy of the West each year, and only 135 are
chosen; all attend on full scholarships. Over eight intensive weeks each summer the faculty and
Fellows give more than 200 performances, including a full opera. Fellows also get training in
aspects that go along with a career in music, including fitness, performance anxiety and business
skills.
The Academy was founded in 1947 by a group of visionary musicians that included celebrated
soprano Lotte Lehmann and conductor Otto Klemperer. Many great artists contributed during
the Academy’s formative years – people like Yehudi Menuhin, Artur Rubinstein, Robert Shaw,
Darius Milhaud and Igor Stravinsky.
Carol Burnett, who teaches a masterclass in the art of musical comedy at the Music Academy, is
the delightful host of this special two-hour broadcast, which is produced by Marty Ronish.
Music includes Nicolas McGegan conducting “storm music” by Rameau, Leonard Slatkin
conducting the rousing Finale of Shostakovich Symphony No. 5, Mozart’s Queen of the Night,
and a super-fun percussion premiere by Ted Atkatz.

The story of how Russian literature and music in the Tsarist and Soviet eras affected a large
sector of people in Russia is vibrantly related by Northwestern University’s Professor of Slavic
Languages and Literature Irwin Weil, who since 1966 has been captivating students with his
presentations as well as anecdotes from his own vast experience of Russia, where he has been a
regular guest speaker, lecturer and researcher for the last 54 years. In this documentary he
illustrates how the Russian people, Russian composers such as Mussorgsky, Tchaikovsky and
Stravinsky, and also Jewish settlers in Russia were strongly motivated by Russian folktales and
folksongs, and he discusses how the poetic and historical writings of dramatists such as
Alexander Pushkin, Leo Tolstoy, Nikolai Leskov and Yevgeny Yevtushenko inspired composers
such as Mussorgsky, Tchaikovsky, Prokofiev and Shostakovich to write operas and other works
on deeply Russian themes. The documentary also looks at how authorities both in Imperial and
Soviet Russia reacted to the communicative power of music and literature for the people, and
additionally it examines the public role of music and literature in post Soviet Russia.
Commenting on the latter is the Mariinsky Theatre’s Artistic Director Valery Gergiev, for whom
Rodion Schedrin has written his new opera Levsha (The Left-Hander), a satirical picture of the
Russian soul based on the folk-style novel by Nikolai Leskov. Maestro Gergiev and Professor
Weil are also heard in the context of the Mariinsky Theatre’s Easter Festival railway tour of
2013.

This documentary has been made with the generous financial assistance of Northwestern
University.
