March WTTW & WFMT Member Magazine

Air Check 

Dear Member, 

Chicago is considered by many to be America’s architectural capitol. Where else can you see represented, 

on a daily basis, the work of such a diverse group of world-class architects? As the city’s premier PBS station, 

we have been proud to make this unique distinction a prime focus of our local production efforts via Geoffrey 

Baer’s many outstanding specials on this subject. And this month, for the third 

year in a row, Geoffrey brings you a profile of the winner of the annual Richard 

H. Driehaus Prize for Classical and Traditional Architecture. Thomas Beeby, the 

first Chicagoan to capture the prize, is best known for his classically inspired 

post-modern design for the Harold Washington Library, a work that brought 

him both acclaim and notoriety. Be sure to tune in on Thursday, March 21 

at 8:00 pm to learn more about Beeby and we’ll also be launching a robust 

companion website at wttw.com/beeby. 

As always, March signals a season of renewal, and fittingly, WTTW11 

offers a variety of new and engaging programs to usher in spring. Singing 

superstar Andrea Bocelli and David Foster return with an all-new special shot 

in Portofino, Italy; R&B/soul artist Aaron Neville tries his hand at Doo-Wop; and The Piano Guys make their 

public television debut. Celtic Thunder presents their Mythology special, shot in Dublin; and Kristin Chenoweth 

celebrates “The Dames of Broadway” on Live from Lincoln Center. On the non-musical side, we spend 180 

Days: A Year Inside An American High School, premiere a new season of Call the Midwife, and introduce Mr. 

Selfridge, a new Masterpiece series starring Jeremy Piven as a brash Chicago entrepreneur in 1909 London. Be 

the first of your friends to be talking about this new British series! 

On 98.7WFMT, live broadcasts from the Metropolitan Opera continue on Saturday afternoons, and this 

month’s productions celebrate the 2013 bicentennials of Richard Wagner with Parsifal on March 2, and 

Giuseppe Verdi, with Don Carlo on March 9, La Traviata on March 30, and an archive presentation of La Forza 

del Destino on March 23. The Lyric Opera of Chicago Broadcasts also continue this month with André Previn’s 

operatic transformation of Tennessee Williams’ A Streetcar Named Desire starring Renée Fleming live on March 

26 co-hosted by George Preston and Roger Pines. And our new season of performances by the Chamber Music 

Society will feature “Baroque Explorations” on March 3 and “French Harp” on March 31. 

Have a wonderful March, and thanks for your support.

Inspector Tyador Borlú of the Extreme Crime Squad is assigned to a seemingly open-and-shut case: 

an American student found dead in the gutters of Beszel. But soon this deceptively simple crime reveals 

ties to powerful political and corporate factions at the heart of both Beszel and its twin city, Ul Qoma. 

Forced to cross the divide between two city-states coexisting in the same space yet separated by irreconcilable 

cultural differences, Borlú must bring to justice the mastermind of the most dangerous 

case of his career.

three-part miniseries distills 

Rick Steves’ 30 years of travel 

experience into 30 minutes 

of practical advice on how to 

have a fun, affordable, and 

culturally broadening trip to 

Europe. Shot on location 

in Amsterdam, Germany’s 

Rhineland, Venice, Siena, 

the Italian Riviera, the Swiss 

Alps, Paris, and London, 

these episodes cover Rick’s 

favorite 3,000-mile European 

loop while providing you 

with essential travel skills. 

We cover tips on planning 

an itinerary, hurdling the 

language barrier, driving and 

catching the train, avoiding 

scams, eating well, sleeping 

smart, staying safe, and 

everything you need to enjoy 

the best possible experience. 


Florentine Delights and 

Tuscan Side Trips In this 

second of two episodes on 

Florence, we enjoy more of the 

exquisite artistic treasures of 

the city that propelled Europe 

out of the Middle Ages. Then 

we side-trip to a couple of 

rival cities and cultural capitals 

in their own right, Pisa and 

Lucca, where we’ll marvel at 

a tipsy tower, circle a city on 

its ramparts, and enjoy some 

Puccini in his hometown. 


Venice – City of Dreams After 

sorting through the monuments 

of Venice’s powerful 

past, we trace its decline from 

Europe’s most powerful city 

to its most hedonistic one. We 

cruise the Grand Canal, luxuriate 

in a venerable cafe, and 

savor fresh fish canalside with

Hillary Clinton 

Makers: Women 

Who Make America 

This comprehensive miniseries tells 

the story of women’s advancement in 

America over the past 50 years. It is a 

revolution that has unfolded in public 

and private, on grand stages like the 

U.S. Supreme Court and Congress, and 

humbler ones like the boardroom and 

the bedroom. Meryl Streep narrates 

the program, which features the stories 

of those who led the fight, those who 

opposed it and those – both famous 

and unknown – caught up in its wake. 

Also included are commentary and the 

stories of Hillary Clinton, Condoleezza 

Rice, Oprah Winfrey, Gloria Steinem 

and Phyllis Schlafly, among others.

11:00 Call the Midwife (Season 1, 

Part 1 of 6) In the spring of 

1957, newly qualified midwife 

Jenny Lee arrives in the East 

End of London to begin her 

career. After overcoming the 

initial shock that her new 

home, Nonnatus House, is 

a convent and not a private 

hospital, she quickly becomes 

immersed in her new life. 

AFTERNOON 

12:05 Call the Midwife (Season 

1, Part 2 of 6) As Jenny Lee 

settles into her role, there is 

a new arrival at Nonnatus 

House – Chummy. A welcome 

pair of extra hands, Chummy 

sets about showing her 

worth, but her overwhelming 

desire to please and her 

inability to ride a bike prove 

obstacles in gaining the 

respect of Sister Evangelina. 


Part 3 of 6) In her 40s, Winnie, 

who thought her days of 

diapers and babies were long 

gone, seems upset by her 

pregnancy. By contrast, her 

husband, Ted, is overjoyed. 

However, at the baby’s birth, 

everyone gets a little surprise. 


Part 4 of 6) A baby girl, 

recently delivered by Jenny, is 

snatched from her baby carriage, 

causing great anguish 

to her family and uniting the 

local community as they 

search for the missing child. 


Part 5 of 6) When Nonnatus 

House cleaner Peggy’s brother 

Frank is diagnosed with cancer, 

Jenny and the nuns are 

called upon to care for him. 


Part 6 of 6) Sister Monica 

Joan is found wandering near 

the docks and returned to 

Nonnatus House by the police. 

Her adventure takes its toll on 

her health and she develops 

pneumonia. When she eventually 

recovers, she returns to 

the community, only to find 

herself in trouble with the law 

when she is accused of theft. 

5:34 Call the Midwife Holiday 

Special Newly married 

Chummy and nurse Jenny are 

hard at work during their first 

Christmas in Nonnatus House. 

As nurses and nuns minister 

to an abandoned newborn 

and search for the mother, 

and Jenny tries to find the 

children of an elderly vagrant, 

Chummy plans an ambitious 

nativity play. In true Chummy 

fashion, mishaps ensue. 

EVENING 


Part 1 of 8) It’s 1958. 

Returning from a long day 

of duties, Nurse Jenny Lee 

finds the Nonnatus House 

community gathered to 

wish her a happy birthday. 

However, the midwife’s good 

cheer is short-lived when the 

next day she’s assigned a 

new patient. Meanwhile, Trixie 

and Sister Evangelina find 

themselves aboard a Swedish 

cargo ship looking after the 

captain’s daughter, who is 

about to have her first baby.

King By the time Edward 

VII (“Bertie”) succeeded his

almost 60. His mother’s refusal 

to involve him in state matters 

forced him into 40 years of 

enforced idleness, so Bertie 

spent his days gambling, 

overeating, shooting, 

smoking, and womanizing.

Live from 

the Met: Parsifal 

When Richard Wagner died in 1883, 

he gave reluctant permission for his 

beloved “festival stage play,” Parsifal, 

to be performed outside the sacred 

confines of his own Festspielhaus 

in Bayreuth. The first production 

outside Bayreuth took place in 

1903 at the Metropolitan Opera – it 

was apparently a gala and muchanticipated 

occasion – and Parsifal 

is back at the Met this season in a 

new production starring tenor Jonas 

Kaufmann, making his Met role debut 

as the title character. He’s joined by 

Katarina Dalayman as Kundry and 

René Pape as Gurnemanz; Daniele 

Gatti conducts. Besides the matinee 

radio broadcast, the performance will 

be transmitted live to theaters in HD. 


11:00 am 

All prerecorded music on 98.7WFMT is provided by 

the Richard and Mary L. Gray Music Library. 

Most live performances on 98.7WFMT are broadcast 

from the Fay and Daniel Levin Performance Studio.

Celebrating Virtuosity 

Writing in Grove’s Dictionary of 

Music and Musicians, Owen Jander 

points out that a virtuoso was first of 

all “a person of notable accomplishment; 

a musician of extraordinary 

technical skill. In its original Italian 

usage, particularly in the 16th and 

17th centuries, ‘virtuoso’ was a 

term of honor reserved for a person 

distinguished in any intellectual or 

artistic field: a poet, architect, scholar 

etc. A virtuoso in music might be a 

skillful performer, but more importantly 

he was a composer, a theorist or at 

least a famous maestro di cappella 

[music director]…. With the flourishing 

of opera and the instrumental 

concerto in the late 18th century, the 

term ‘virtuoso’ or ‘virtuosa’ came to 

refer to the violinist, pianist, castrato, 

soprano etc who pursued a career as 

a soloist.” The author quotes Richard 

Wagner as saying: “The real dignity of 

the virtuoso rests solely on the dignity 

he is able to preserve for creative art; 

if he trifles and toys with this, he casts 

his honor away. He is the intermediary 

of the artistic idea.” Then Jander 

closes his comments on virtuosity 

by saying: “Though there has been a 

tendency to regard dazzling feats of 

technical skill with suspicion – and 

even, in such cases as Tartini and 

Paganini, to ascribe them to some 

supernatural power – the true virtuoso 

has always been prized not only for 

his rarity but also for his ability to 

widen the technical and expressive 

boundaries of his art.” During March 

we’ll make virtuosity one of our main 

themes, honoring musicians of the 

past and present who combined art 

and skill to an extraordinary degree.

Twyla Tharp 

Conversations 

with Twyla Tharp and 

Renée Fleming 

During 2011 and 2012, WFMT’s 

Kerry Frumkin undertook extensive 

interviews with two iconic figures in 

the performing arts, choreographer 

Twyla Tharp and soprano Renée 

Fleming. We’ll rebroadcast these 

conversations-with-music in honor of 

Women’s History Month and also in 

tribute to our monthlong celebration 

of virtuosity. Tharp was in Chicago in 

2011 for a production with Hubbard 

Street Dance Chicago; she talks 

about her career and the music that 

has inspired her creativity. Fleming, 

appointed creative consultant at Lyric 

Opera in 2011, was interviewed in 

January 2012. The music surrounding 

her comments highlights her long 

and distinguished operatic career. 

Twyla Tharp:

Nicole Cabell 

For Holy Week 

Exploring Music: During the last 

week of March, Bill McGlaughlin 

will present an examination of the 

development of Bach’s masterpiece, 

starting with the smaller Lutheran 

Masses that led up to the B Minor 

Mass. The B Minor Mass contains 

influences from the time of Palestrina 

and from Bach’s own instrumental 

and organ works. 

Monday-Friday, 7:00 pm 

Chicago Bach Project: This 

organization led by John Nelson 

performs the B Minor Mass as the 

conclusion of its three-year cycle of 

Bach’s sacred masterworks. Soloists 

with the specially-chosen chorus and 

orchestra will be Nicole Cabell, 

Jane Henschel, Stanford Olsen, 

and Matthew Brook. 


The New York Philharmonic 

This Week: The Philharmonic will 

welcome guest conductor Masaaki 

Suzuki and his Bach Collegium 

Japan for choral music by Bach 

and Mendelssohn. 

Thursday, March 28, 8:00 pm 

Haydn’s Seven Last Words: 

Continuing an annual tradition, the

Haydn’s Holy Week cycle at St. James 

Episcopal Cathedral, interspersed with 

spoken meditations from Dr. Martin 

E. Marty, cathedral dean Joy Rogers, 

journalist Manya Brachear, 

Father Andrew M. Greeley, and 

other religious leaders.

Susanna Phillips, Stella 

Lyric Opera 

Premiere: A Streetcar 

Named Desire 

“Who wants real? I know I don’t 

want it. I want magic!” These are 

some of the words of Blanche Dubois, 

the tragic heroine of the Tennessee 

Williams play that was made into a 

classic film, and then turned into an 

opera by composer-conductor-pianist 

André Previn. Previn created his 

operatic Blanche as a role specifically 

for soprano Renée Fleming, creative 

consultant at Lyric Opera of Chicago, 

which will present its first-ever 

production of the work in late March. 

Fleming will be joined by Teddy Tahu 

Rhodes as Stanley, Susanna Phillips 

as Stella, and Anthony Dean Griffey 

as Mitch. WFMT’s George Preston 

and Lyric’s Roger Pines will co-host 

the opening-night broadcast.

The Pacifica Quartet 

Cedille Chicago 

Presents: The Pacifica 

Quartet 

One of Jim Ginsburg’s topics on 

Cedille Chicago Presents will be the 

renowned Pacifica Quartet, whose 

releases on the Chicago-based label 

include a complete Mendelssohn set 

and an ongoing Shostakovich cycle. 

In addition to its international tours 

that encompass the world’s leading 

concert halls, the Pacifica was named 

last year as quartet-in-residence at 

Indiana University’s Jacobs School 

of Music. It held an identical position 

at New York’s Metropolitan Museum 

of Art from 2009-12. The Pacifica 

members have taught at the University 

of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana, and 

make up the resident performing 

ensemble at the University of Chicago.
