may2008STATION SIGNALS3Dear Friend and Supporter,When you think of the best of Rochester, arts and culture always comes to mind. We havemore great artists, musicians, museums, theaters, galleries and performances than almostany city of our size in the nation. WXXI’s core mission is education, but we’re also a partner,provider and supporter of arts and culture in our community, across all walks of life.In fact, it’s not uncommon to hear music while walking through WXXI, especially onthe second floor where our radio studios are. But over the next few months while we shootOnStage – our weekly series on WXXI-TV and WRUR-FM that highlights a wide range ofperformers from the region – Studio A on the first floor will be alive with music!You may already be familiar with how closely we work with our friends at the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra,Hochstein School of Music & Dance, and Garth Fagan Dance. But in our continuing effort to promote the best of the localarts scene, we’ve taped performances by Joe Beard and John Cole, Gaylord, Rick Holland Big Band, 40 Rod Lightning, andKate Lee. This month Atomic Swindlers, The Isotopes, The White Hots, Hinkley, and Buddhahood take to the stage. Thisis season two for OnStage, a project funded by a grant from the New York State Music Fund. The goal of the fund is toheighten awareness of local artists, foster appreciation for a variety of musical styles, and provide a “backstage glimpse”of artists’ motivations and inspirations. As a member of WXXI, I would like to invite you to attend one of the tapings thissummer. Visit WXXI.org/onstage for details on upcoming performances and how to reserve your seat.Seeing Joe Beard and John Cole in studio in April for their OnStage visits was a reminder that we’re about torelease another season of performances from the Rochester International Jazz Festival. For the second year in a rowwe have had the opportunity to partner with the Jazz Festival, and last year recorded six acts from Kilbourn Hall. TheRochester International Jazz Festival series, featuring performances by Bill Frisell, Geri Allen, Harry Allen, James Moody,Don Byron and Christian Scott, premieres Sunday, May 4 at 7 p.m. on WXXI-TV 21 and on PBS stations and PBS-HDacross the country. It also will air on WRUR-FM 88.5 Thursdays at 6 p.m., beginning May 1 and repeating Saturdays at3 p.m. The 2008 Rochester International Jazz Festival begins June 13, and WXXI will be there to capture several newacts. (You can read more about the series on page 5 of this magazine.)WXXI is proud to share the exceptional talent from our region with viewers across the country. That talent poolextends beyond the amazing musicians we have in our City. We also have some of the finest artists, actors, filmmakers,and writers in Rochester. In fact, last month Albert Paley: In Search of the Sentinel, a film written, produced anddirected by Tony Machi of Machi & Machi Communications and presented nationally by WXXI, garnered a New YorkEmmy ® Award. Seen on more than 200 PBS stations – and again nationally on the PBS HD channel – this film sharedthe story of an award-winning Rochester artist whom we all appreciate locally, with a responsive national audience.Spotlighting the arts is something WXXI does every day. Classical 91.5, the only full-time classical radio station inthe region, and one of the most listened-to classical radio stations in the country, is dedicated to bringing its listenersbeautiful music. This includes local treasures like the RPO, and performers on Live from Hochstein and Backstage Pass.WRUR, a broadcast partnership with WXXI and the University of Rochester, shares an eclectic mix of music – from localand national artists – to a wide-ranging audience throughout the city.Along with Classical 91.5 and WRUR 88.5, WXXI-TV presents a rich and diverse program schedule, which includesLive from Lincoln Center, Great Performances, Soundstage, The Metropolitan Opera, and Austin City Limits, as wellas specials ranging from André Rieu to Broadway’s Company (which starred actor Bruce Sabbath, another Rochesternative). We also dedicate time to the arts on AM 1370 with our monthly Arts Friday series, and each month Need toKnow on WXXI-TV 21 invites guests and commentary on wide-ranging topics central to the arts in Rochester.Your membership support enables us to produce and acquire programming that enriches lives, as well as thevitality of our City to a national audience. As we enter our May radio membership campaign, I hope you take theopportunity to renew your support, or perhaps share with a friend the importance of public broadcasting. Thank youfor being part of the WXXI family – and we hope you enjoy both our Rochester International Jazz Festival programmingMay 4, and the Festival itself in June. We’ll see you there!Best regards,Norm Silverstein, WXXI President & CEOe-mail: norms@wxxi.org

John is also the senior producer/director of Assignment: The World, and producer ofOnStage and Second Opinion.Q. What was your favorite act to shoot duringthe 2007 Rochester International Jazz Festival,and why?A. They were all great! But my favorite probablywas Bill Frisell. First, he is an absolutely greatguitarist. He makes it sing! The sounds anddeviations he can make it pass through areamazing. And, on top of that, he is a genuinely niceguy. Great to work with, fun to talk to... providinga great insight into his creative process. But all ofthe Jazz programs are fun to produce and direct.I’ve wanted to do more performance programmingfor some time and The Rochester International JazzFestival has offered great opportunities to do so.Q. How do you prepare for the productionprior to shooting?A. We came up with a completely new way ofproducing a concert for the fi rst year of the JazzFestival. We shoot each performance “fi lm-style”with multiple cameras. Each camera was given anassignment—what kind of shots to capture andwhere the camera could go. And then, at least inyear one, turned it lose. We then took the entireconcert with fi ve video streams into our editingsystem and put the show together in post-production.In year two, we added communicationsinto the mix so that the director could see all thecameras and “call” the show. This produced adirector’s track that we included into the edit andsped up the entire editing process. That’s thetechnical end of it... on the editorial side; I researcheach of the artists and their music to familiarizemyself with their work and storylines. Then,working with other producers, I come up with aninterview plan, line of questioning and all of that.The idea is to prepare yourself as much as possibleso then when the inevitable “surprises” of a liverecording occur, you can handle them becauseeverything else is going along smoothly.

may2008THE HUMAN FACEIt is said that the eyes may be the gateway to the soul, but the truthmay be far more complicated than that. The human face in essenceforms our identities, and ultimately determines how people perceiveeach of us. Actor, comedian, and best-selling author John Cleeseexplores the mysteries and science behind The Human Face, in afour-part special looking at the elements of the face that expressemotion, portray beauty, and influence sexuality. Along with the helpof seasoned scientists and cutting-edge technologies, and featuringone of Hollywood’s favorite faces, Elizabeth Hurley, Cleese investigatesboth the biological and social characteristics of the face.The series explains how, in a world of six billion people, yourface is different and unique. It also explains that why, in a world ofsix billion, some faces are considered to be far more “beautiful”and memorable than others. Whether we like it or not, the faces wemake, or fake, have the ability to tell far more than our words evercould. How do our expressions give away our deepest secrets?Find out in this eye-opening series.THE HUMAN FACE airs Tuesdays, May 6, 13, 20 and 27 at 8 p.mon WXXI-TV 21 (cable 11)Lower Saranac Lake Tupper Lake Lake GeorgeThe AdirondacksAs the largest park in the continental United States, New York’sAdirondack Park encompasses an astounding six million acres.Weaved with thousands of miles of hiking trails, it is home tothe majority of all wilderness in the eastern U.S., and hostsupwards of 10 million tourists annually.

Music of Remembrance:BRUNDIBARIN HONOR OF HOLOCAUSTMEMORIAL DAY, MAY 2, 2008,WXXI presents Hans Krása’s children’s operaBrundibar. Originally written by Czech HansKrása (right) for a competition in Prague sixtyyears ago, the children’s opera would never bejudged, nor would it ever meet its intended audience. An evocativelysymbolic tale of good and evil, the opera tells the story oftwo children desperately in need of milk for their sick mother. Whenthey go to town they discover a bumblebee bully has taken over,forcing the children of the village to bravely stand together againstthe tyrannical bee.Nazi troops invaded the city before the opera competitionended, and Krása, a Jewish man, was forbidden to perform hiswork before a general audience. After performing the opera in aJewish orphanage, he was arrested and sent to the concentrationcamp Terezin, along with thousands of others who had been rippedfrom their homes. Though it was a tragic struggle to maintainenough child performers as they were constantly being dispatchedto Auschwitz, Krása managed to perform his opera 55 times whilein Terezin before his execution at Auschwitz in 1944.MUSIC OF REMEMBRANCE: BRUNDIBAR airs Friday,May 2 at 12 p.m. on Classical 91.5/90.03/HD91.5-1RPO Principal Viola MelissaMatson and Principal Oboe ErikBehr join host Julia Figuerason this month’s Backstage Passto perform and talk about theirwork with the orchestra.MELISSA MATSON has been withthe RPO since 1983 and is equallyknown as a versatile chambermusician and has performed withChamber Music Rochester and theSkaneateles Festival.

32CLASSICAL PROGRAMMINGmay200810 DTVTransition Mythsand the Facts toDispel ThemStill have lots of questions?Stop by the DTV booth at theLilac Festival, May 9 – May 18.The booth, manned by a variety ofRochester television stations includingWXXI-TV, will have people on hand toanswer your DTV questions!1. I need to buy a new TV.False. This is one of three options if you own an analog TV set. You canpurchase a new TV that is equipped with a digital tuner or you can keep yourcurrent TV and connect to a converter box or pay TV service (such as cable orsatellite).2. TV will no longer be free for me.False. You can still receive free television over the air with an antenna just likeyou do now as long as your TV either has a digital tuner or is connected to aconverter box. The federal government is offering coupons (valued at $40.00each) to reduce the cost of the converter boxes, which are expected to cost$40 - $70. Call 1-888-DTV-2009 for more information on the coupon program.3. I need to buy a converter box.False. This is just one of your options if you currently use an antenna with ananalog TV. You can also choose to purchase a new digital TV or subscribe to apay TV service such as cable or satellite.4. One converter box is all I need for my TVs.False. If you choose to buy converter boxes, you will need one converter boxfor each analog TV. Every analog set has to be connected to a pay TV serviceor converter box to get a TV signal after February 17, 2009.5. The change to DTV is unnecessary and is not going toimprove television.False. Digital television, or DTV, is a higher quality, more effi cient way to transmitTV signals than the current analog TV system. DTV provides better pictureand sound quality and takes up less space, making it possible for stations toprovide more free programming and improving communications capabilitiesfor public and safety services.6. I have a TV subscription service for at least one of my TVs, soI won’t have to do anything.False. Only those TVs that are hooked up to the pay TV service (or those withbuilt-in digital tuners or converter boxes) will get a TV signal after February 17,2009. If your main TV is connected to cable, but you use an antenna to get asignal on additional analog TVs, those TV sets will not work unless you takesteps to prepare.7. I need to subscribe to cable or satellite to get the besttelevision picture quality.False. Cable and satellite compress your television signal. The best qualitypicture comes over the air with an antenna used in conjunction with a digitaltuner or a converter box.8. I can’t watch high definition (HD) programs because myTV relies on an antenna.False. You can receive HD programs with an antenna and digital tuner orconverter box, however they will only be displayed in high defi nition if youhave a HDTV set.9. I already have DTV because I have digital cable.False. If you subscribe to any kind of cable, you should be ready for the transition.However, DTV and digital cable are not the same thing. DTV refers to ahigher quality television signal and the method used to send that signal. Digitalcable is purchased as a tier through cable providers, and it offers enhancedviewing options such as an on-screen programming guide.10. My DVD player, DVR, VCR, camcorder and video games willno longer be compatible with my TV.False. These electronics will continue to work even if they are analog.
