MUSIC:
FOR LIFE
THE STORY OF
NEW HORIZONS
Marian found respite during a time of
trouble. George found his life partner.
Marjorie found something she’d thought
she’d lost forever. They all found more than
they bargained for when they joined the
New Horizons Music Program, a program
– founded by Eastman School of Music
professor emeritus Dr. Roy Ernst – for senior
musicians whose skills range from novice
to seasoned. Marian, George, Marjorie,
and others share how they found a new
connection to music and so much more in
the WXXI-produced, hour-long documentary,
Music for Life: The Story of New Horizons.
MUSIC FOR LIFE: THE STORY OF NEW HORIZONS
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 4 AT 8 PM ON WXXI-TV and
STREAMED ONLINE AT WXXI.ORG/MUSICFORLIFE
This documentary was funded in part by New Horizons and the Waldron Rise Foundation.

Dear Friends,
You may have heard that we have
officially kicked off the public phase of
our “Go Public” Campaign. Our goal is
to raise $17 million for programming,
technology and sustainability to ensure
that WXXI and the Little Theatre can
Norm Silverstein
continue to meet the needs of our
community for generations to come. For the past three years, the late
Larry and Jane Glazer led the “Go Public” Campaign through its silent
phase. Serving as Campaign Co-Chairs, they helped us reach $13.2
million in commitments. Because of their leadership and dedication,
and in recognition of all they have done, we are not replacing them
as Campaign Co-Chairs. It is, and always will be, Larry and Jane’s
Campaign and we will successfully finish it in their honor. In addition to keeping the Glazers memory alive as part of our “Go
Public” campaign, we also named Larry and Jane our 2014 Associates
of the Year at a special luncheon held the Rochester Riverside
Convention Center last month. I had the honor of presenting Larry
and Jane’s children, Mindy MacLaren and Ken Glazer, with the award,
which recognizes individuals who have made significant contributions
in support of WXXI’s mission of public service. To commemorate the
award, a tree has also been planted in Highland Park in their memory.
More than 300 attended the luncheon with special guest speaker
FRONTLINE producer Michael Kirk to honor the Glazers.
While their memory will also live on in our “Go Public” campaign,
to accomplish our goal WXXI has enlisted the leadership of two
individuals who are also very invested in the future of Rochester. WXXI
Trustee Council member and former Board Chair Harry Trueheart
has a long association with WXXI and is one of the station’s original
members, joining in 1966. Harry is currently Chairman Emeritus of
Nixon Peabody LLP. Dr. Cynthia Reddeck-LiDestri is a current
member of the WXXI and Little Board of Trustees and serves as
Treasurer of the Board. She is the director of Wellness Programs at
LiDestri Foods, Inc. I have no doubt that Harry and Cindy will help
guide the campaign to its successful conclusion.
Thanks to generous donations from many local organizations and
individuals, WXXI and The Little have already met more than 75% of
the $17 million goal. Now, we invite citizens across the region to “Go
Public” in support of their public media station and their independent
community cinema. You may receive a letter in the mail and a followup phone call inviting you to support the “Go Public” Campaign in the
coming months. I hope you will do what you can to help keep WXXI
strong for the future. You can read more about our campaign goal and
future plans on the following page of this magazine, or by visiting the
campaign web page at: wxxi.org/gopublic.

NEWS&EVENTS
Q&A with a WXXI underwriter
Gardner PLUS Architects, PLLC, a small architectural consulting
practice focused on a wide array of healthcare architecture, has been
committed to helping Healthcare service providers create healing and
welcoming environments in the community since 1990. As specialists in
Healthcare design, partner and vice president Todd Martin describes the
firm’s guidelines: treating both simple and complex projects as unique;
handling every client with care; and addressing a client’s needs rapidly.
Q. What would you like the WXXI audience to know about Gardner PLUS?
We take pride in our commitment to the providers who deliver Healthcare
services to the community. Having the ability to help them gives us a sense
of purpose and accomplishment. There is a level of citizenship through
giving back to our community in the services we provide.
Q. What distinguishes Gardner PLUS from other architectural firms
in the Rochester area?
Gardner PLUS is a small firm and we like to think of our office staff as a
second family. We make it a point to celebrate birthdays, employment
anniversaries, and holidays. We foster a creative environment and even
allow our employees a section on our website that gives them the ability
to post their special talents, be it artwork or photographs.
Q. Can you tell us about your office pet?
Roxy is a sweet-hearted Golden Retriever who has a fondness for peanut
M&M’s, yogurt, and ice cream. No worries though; she loves to play
Frisbee and go on runs with Dave Gardner which allows her to keep her
girlish figure. All kidding aside, she has a very important job; she helps us
all to keep our stress levels in check.

WXXI and the Little have kicked
off THEIR “Go Public” campaign,
iN SUPPORT OF WXXI & THE LITTLE THEATRE
a $17 million campaign to raise funds needed to preserve
and restore historic Little Theatre 1, support new program
initiatives at WXXI and The Little, and ensure that capital
and other needs are met to sustain two of Rochester’s nonprofit community gems. Thanks to the leadership of the late
Larry and Jane Glazer, who remain the campaign co-chairs,
and to generous donations of many local organizations and
individuals, WXXI has already met more than 75% of the
$17 million goal. The funds raised during the “Go Public”
Campaign will be allocated into four main areas:
Community Program Fund
Little Theatre Capital Fund
This fund will allow WXXI to invest in the acquisition and
production of exceptional programming that addresses
community needs; to build on existing strengths in education,
news, arts, and health programming, and to act as our
community’s storyteller with programming that documents
where we have been and where we hope to go.
This fund supports renovations to the historic Little Theatre on
East Avenue, securing its future as a cultural icon and bridge
to Rochester’s downtown East End Cultural District. The “Go
Public” Campaign has already funded the installation of digital
projectors, sound systems, and screens in all five theaters. In
the birthplace of film, it is significant as well that The Little will
preserve its ability to screen archival films by building a classic
35 mm reel-to-reel projector.
Fund for New Media, Technology
and Sustainability
This fund will enable WXXI to harness the power of new media
to provide programming whenever and wherever our audience
demands. WXXI will further invest in new equipment and
technology, allowing the station to produce and provide the
highest quality programming. Finally, to best preserve the
future, WXXI and Little Theatre facilities will “go green,”
reducing energy consumption and carbon footprint.
Future Fund
The Future Fund will help ensure WXXI and The Little’s service
to the community will continue in perpetuity through legacy gifts
to their respective endowments and will allow both organizations
to invest in strategies to develop new, sustainable sources of
revenue.

A TRIBUTE TO
WITH BRUCE FEILER
TUESDAYS, DECEMBER 16, 23, AND 30 AT 8 PM ON WXXI-TV
Join host Bruce Feiler (pictured) on an unprecedented journey
to the world’s most meaningful landscapes and rigorous religious
pilgrimages. Feiler and contemporary sojourners journey to sacred
sites cherished by billions and visited annually by hundreds of

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 10 AT 8 PM ON WXXI-TV
Recorded at 2013’s MusiCares®
Person of the Year benefit, this special
features an all-star lineup performing
Springsteen’s biggest hits, including
“Because the Night,” “Born in the
USA,” “Born to Run,” “Glory Days,”
and “Thunder Road.”
TVHIGHLIGHTS
This 5-part British drama series centers on the
challenges faced by the first woman to join
a fictional police force in the West Midlands.
As the only Woman Police Constable (WPC)
on the Brinford beat, Gina Dawson (Jennie
Jacques) struggles to overcome sexist
attitudes and gain acceptance in a maledominated police force. The Brinford force
typically deals with teenage runaways, “Teddy
Boys,” and petty criminals in their small city.
However, the lines of the law start to blur
when the hunt for a killer draws the team
into a criminal underworld of shady boxing
clubs, brothels, and nightclubs — all run by a
ruthless gangster who is as dangerous as he
is untouchable. As this situation unfolds, the
unwanted attention of a senior officer pushes
Gina to cross a line which could mean the end
of her career.

The Capitol Steps:
“Politics Takes a Holiday!”
Help say good-bye and good riddance to
2014 with the Capitol Steps and their annual
year-end review. It’s all in their hour-long
special of “Politics Takes a Holiday!” This
year will feature all-new awards, such as:
“Is that guy jumping the White House
fence or is he just really into Michelle’s ‘Get
Moving’ campaign? “You say ISIS, I say ISIL.
Let’s call the whole thing off.” And of course,
“I scream, you scream, we all scream
EBOLA!”
Go ahead and announce it on your social
media pages, but don’t post it on the Cloud
because we have some pictures we really
don’t think the world is ready to see.
So let’s send 2014 out like a character from
Fifty Shades of Grey…with a bright red
bottom.
Let’s have some fun, shall we?

A SEASON’S GRIOT 2014
Around for decases, genetically modified foods are created by modifying the DNA of
one organism through the introduction of genes from another. Mainly found in our food
supply in processed foods using corn, soybeans, and sugar beets, they’re developed
for various reasons -- to fight disease, enhance flavor, resist pests, improve nutrition,
survive drought—and are. Across the country and around the world, communities are
fighting the cultivation of genetically engineered crops. Are they safe? How do they
impact the environment? Can they improve food safety?
This one-hour celebration in story and song is public radio’s only nationally
syndicated Kwanzaa program. Hosted for nearly 20 years by acclaimed storyteller
Madafo Lloyd Wilson, this annual special captures the tales and traditions of African
American and African peoples. This year’s program will celebrate Peace with
special guests Pamela Reid, Joyce Grear and the show’s poet laureate, Beverly
Burnette. This program also airs Friday, December 26 at 12 p.m. on AM 1370.

WINTER SOLSTICE
ALL SONGS CONSIDERED
FOR THE HOLIDAYS
Inspired by the first Windham Hill Winter Solstice
albums and Paul Winter’s Winter Solstice
Celebration we play music inspired for the season
in all its quiet majesty and interior warmth. With
mostly original music, we’ll hear sounds that
evoke the longest night of the year from artists
like George Winston, Agnes Obel, Kate Bush and
many more.
It’s the sixth edition of a weird holiday tradition
from NPR Music. Host Bob Boilen and friends
trade holiday cheer and snarky barbs while
bringing you the best holiday songs from new and
emerging breakout bands. Hear renditions of great
holiday music you’ll never hear at the mall or your
mother’s house.

Orchestra
Thursday, December 18 at 1 p.m. on Classical 91.5
Backstage Pass is a monthly live performance
program that gives listeners the backstage
experience of meeting local and visiting artists.
An encore of this broadcast will air on Sunday,
December 21 at 1 p.m. on Classical 91.5.
Host Julia Figueras invites Cordancia Chamber Orchestra
to Studio A for a special Backstage Pass
performance before a live studio audience, made
up of WXXI sustainer members, in studio A. The
orchestra will perform a collection of seasonal
music and share stories about the ensemble and
the music they play.
Cordancia is a Rochester-based chamber music ensemble that
blends eclectic, vibrant music with traditional classic repertoire. The
ensemble was founded by violinist Pia Liptak and oboist Kathleen
Suher who are both members of the University of Rochester
Symphony Orchestra; Kathleen as the principal oboist and Pia as
the concertmaster. Cordancia is a versatile ensemble with an array
of performance groups that span from small chamber ensembles
to full chamber orchestra; from duo to 30-player sinfonietta. The ensemble works with conductor David Harman and has
collaborated with a number of choirs, guest soloists and narrators. Credit: by Marc Pagano
Classical 91.5
Presents
In celebration of Classical 91.5’s 40th
anniversary, WXXI presents a series of
films with classical music connections
at the Little Theatre. The series kicks off
Saturday, December 6th with a double
feature – The Red Violin at 1 p.m.,
followed by Moonrise Kingdom at 3:45
p.m. Live classical music will play in
the Little Café, while a special menu is
featured.
Selected by our Classical music hosts
Julia Figueras, Brenda Tremblay and
Mona Seghatoleslami, each film chosen
exemplifies the power of music in a
non-traditional narrative. The film series
will continue on March 14, June 13 and
September 12. Tickets are $6/movie
or $10 for the double feature.
In Moonrise Kingdom
a pair of young lovers flees their
New England town, causing a
local search party to fan out to
find them. The film is centered
on the music of Benjamin
Britten. The first piece is “Noye’s
Fludde,” where the children
meet as audience members and
performers. The second, “The
Young Person’s Guide to the
Orchestra” serves as a metaphor
for the story: the theme, the
fugue, the chaos, the final
coming together in unity.

The Red Violin follows the
journey of the title instrument and
the impact it has on its owners,
from its creation in 17th century
Italy to an auction in modernday Montreal. John Corigliano
won an Academy Award for
the exquisite and evocative
soundtrack, which features
violinist Joshua Bell.

TODAY’S BEST CON ARTIST
It’s the film The New York Times calls “perversely satisfying” and The Daily
Beast deems “Captivating - one of the largest and most unique deceptions
the art world has ever seen.”
On Tuesday, December 9 at 7:00 pm, The Little is
proud to present Art and Craft, one of the best
documentaries we’ve shown this year.
Mark Landis is one of the most prolific art forgers in US history. He has
passed off fake classic artwork to the Smithsonian, School of Art Institute of
Chicago, and the Bostonian Society, to name a few. For 30 years, Landis has
forged everything from Picassos to works by Walt Disney. But perhaps most
remarkable about this story, he has never charged institutions a dime for what
they perceive to be priceless works of art. Despite that fact, there is one man
who doggedly pursues Landis, getting closer and closer throughout film.
Art and Craft starts out as a cat-and-mouse art caper, rooted in questions
of authorship and authenticity—but what emerges is an intimate story of
obsession and the universal need for community, appreciation, and purpose.
