Something New at Noon

Honoring Itzhak Perlman

Remembering Alexander Glazunov

June • July • August

B 1

Meet Your Host: Carol McPherson How long have you been an announcer at WCPE, and what attracted you to The Classical Station? I have been an announcer at the station for just over a year. I moved to the Triangle area in 2010 and was thrilled to discover a station that played only Classical music!How did you get involved in broadcast-ing? I have recorded books for the blind since 1998 for Minnesota. I now also record for the blind at the Triangle Radio Reading Service. I had never had any radio experi-ence, but I knew how to enunciate clearly and to project my voice over a microphone. I auditioned for an announcer spot on WCPE, never expecting to actually pass!What is your favorite genre of music? Who are some of your favorite composers and artists? Of course, my favorite genre of music is Classical! CPE Bach is a particular favorite, but I am happy with almost any music by Mozart or Dvořák.Do you have a background in music per-formance? My background is not music, but medicine. I am an epidemiologist. My son is a Classical music composer, however, so apparently it’s in the genes somewhere!Do any concerts stand out in your mem-ory? I remember attending a concert of the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra and hearing for the first time Bach’s Goldberg Variations transcribed for strings. I was absolutely mesmerized! The CD by Dmitry Sitkovetsky is always my go-to music when I’m traveling or when I feel stressed.

summer highlightsBy William Woltz

Something New at Noon Every Day in JuneJoin WCPE for a daily feature of recently released Classical recordings. Symphonic works, chamber music, piano, and more from established artists as well as today’s up-and-coming performers.

Independence Day July 4

Americana Weekend July 3–5Our extended holiday weekend observance begins Friday, July 3, and features great U.S. composers, orchestras, and soloists. And we’ll play lots of patriotic selections on the fourth to celebrate the birth of our country. It’s music that will make you proud.

Bastille DayJuly 14Works by Bizet, Berlioz, Rameau, Couperin, Fauré, Debussy, Ravel, and more—a celebra-tion of the French contribution to Great Classical Music.

WCPE’s AnniversaryJuly 18Join us in celebrating 37 years of broadcast-ing! We’ll play lots of great music, with an emphasis on selections from WCPE’s Top 100 survey of listener favorites. And we’ll invite you to show your support for Great Classical Music by becoming a sustaining member of WCPE’s musical family.

Cinema Classics WeekendAugust 7–9A great film relies on both sight and sound for its impact. For many of us, the memory of a favorite movie scene is forever linked with the music playing at the time. Beginning with Allegro on Friday afternoon, we feature Classical selections that have been used in your favorite films, plus music writ-ten especially for the silver screen. It’s one of our most popular theme weekends and one that will bring back more than a few memories.

Women’s Equality DayAugust 26The day actually celebrates women’s suffrage, but it’s also a great time for WCPE to feature women in Classical music: composers such as Clara Schumann, Fanny Mendelssohn, Jennifer Higdon, Joan Tower, Amy Beach, and Ethel Smyth (herself a suffragette leader in England!).

All-Request FridaysJune 26, July 31, August 28You’re the music director, from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Submit your advance requests at theclassicalstation.org, or call WCPE at 919.556.0123 on the morn-ing of the request program. And don’t forget our weekly feature, the Saturday Evening Request Program, beginning at 6:00 p.m.

Deborah S. ProctorGeneral Manager

A Fun but Important AnniversaryWCPE Radio, The Classical Station, will be celebrating its 37th anniversary from July 16th through the 18th. We are going to be playing our best music, but there will be a serious note. We have a big task in front of us: we need to raise 300,000 dollars for our summer operating costs. So, we need a mem-bership drive this summer, but we’ll keep it short and sweet.We promised to keep Great Classical Music on the air, and on the Internet, without inter-ruption, 24 hours a day, and we’re doing our best to keep that promise! You can help by asking your friends who listen to send in a donation before the drive starts, and we can end that much sooner. Or if you know some-one who likes Classical music, tell them about us. It doesn’t matter where they live; anyone can stream us at theclassicalstation.org.Some good news: you probably remember that when we changed out our guy wires on our 1,200-foot–tall tower, we really beefed up the tower and added extra handling capacity. That improvement is starting to pay off. A number of companies are renting space on our tower for antennas and relays because of the height, quadruple redundancy on electric power, a C-Band Earth Station Transmit license, and redundancy on mul-tiple fiber from two different paths. Plus, our tower is smack in the middle of the popula-tion center here. For all who helped make this possible by contribution to our guy wire

fund, thank you! You are now helping us with a new revenue stream, even though it’s in its infancy.Want to be a volunteer? There is always something to do here, and we can always use someone with good business talents. Just give us a call during business hours at 800.556.5178, and leave us your contact information.

Did you know?Listeners may view the playlist for the current day as well as previous week’s lists at our web site at theclassicalstation.org. Just click on “What’s Playing” at the top of the home page.

Help us celebrate our 37th Anniversary on July 18!

First Mondays at 7:00 p.m. (Eastern) With host Tara LynnThe romantic notion of devoting one’s entire life to music is one that has always fasci-nated me. Of course, a tireless devotion to mastering a great work bar by bar is part of the reality of a professional musician’s life. Yet, somehow, the musicians of the North Carolina Symphony continue to remind us of the romance night after night, year after year. On this show, we ask some of the top musicians in North Carolina share the Classical recordings that inspire them to continue mesmerizing audiences and to grow professionally. In each edition, I hope that you will hear familiar works in a new light, discover new music, or find inspiration for your own musical journey. Join me for My Life in Music on first Mondays at 7:00 p.m. on WCPE, The Classical Station.

wcpe in the community lately we’ve readLeonard Bernstein and His Young People’s Concerts

By Alicia Kopfstein-PenkRowman and Littlefield; 230 pagesBy R. C. SpeckFrom the 1950s to 1990, the year in which he died, Leonard Bernstein was the face of American Classical music. He was, of course, a famous composer, a passionate conductor, a writer, and a world celebrity. In her book Leonard Bernstein and his Young People’s Concerts, author Alicia Kopfstein-Penk reminds us however that Bernstein’s greatest gift to music may have been his Young People’s Concerts.Airing from 1958 to 1972, these television concerts brought cutting-edge music pedagogy into the homes of millions. Kopfstein-Penk describes Bernstein’s greatest challenge as bridging the gap between music appreciation and technical discussions. Bernstein overcame this challenge through spontaneity, humor, and an interactive approach through which children were quizzed and otherwise included in the program both as players and audience members. Bernstein had a knack for selecting topics that kids would find interesting. He also made the most of the television medium, creatively using visual aids to bring the music closer to children.One theme running through Kopfstein-Penk’s work is Bernstein’s ability to transcend what she refers to as “brows,” as in “highbrow,” “lowbrow,” and “middlebrow.” Bernstein was never shy about introducing ideas of popular music into his programs. In fact, his famous “What is a Mode?” concert was inspired by his daughter’s struggle to understand a Beatles harmony. He was also culturally savvy and enjoyed comparing, say, a triumphant passage in a highbrow piece with things like a football game, political event, or television program.

Kopfstein-Penk shows how Bernstein was a product of his era. The Cold War, the Civil Rights movement, Vietnam, and feminism all found their way into his programs. His “Latin American Spirit” concert occurred in March 1963, only months after the Cuban Missile Crisis. Also in 1963 he performed the work of the female composer Shulamit Ran. His sympathetic treatment of Soviet composer Dimitri Shostakovich in 1966 spoke volumes. His focus on Beethoven’s Fidelio and its “celebration of human rights, of freedom to speak out, to dissent” came shortly after the My Lai Massacre. He also broke ground by showcasing young African-American performers such as André Watts and Veronica Tyler.Kopfstein-Penk dedicates an entire chapter to Bernstein’s efforts to promote American music. This basically meant the Young People’s Concerts would feature a lot of Copland, Gershwin, and jazz. Being a postmodernist herself, Kopfstein-Penk explores Bernstein’s dismissal of American avant-garde and of atonal music in general.If one word can describe Kopfstein-Penk’s work, it is “complete.” The book is as much a history as it is a biographical volume on the pedagogical work of Leonard Bernstein. She provides hundreds of footnotes and eight appendices and leaves no stone unturned to tell the story of the Young People’s Concerts. q

Compiled by Tara LynnThis spring, a handful of small and mighty North Carolina nonprofits applied for grants that would allow them provide greater musi-cal education and resources to our commu-nity. After reviewing these inspiring grant applications, the WCPE Education Fund committee looks forward to announcing its decision this summer. We were pleased to see a wider variety of applicants advocating on behalf of both adults and children, and ben-efitting urban as well as rural communities.

WCPE was the sole sponsor of the North Carolina Symphony’s Ovations program for the 2014–15 season though its Education Fund. Pictured above is the Culbreth Middle School 8th Grade Orchestra, who partici-pated in the Ovations program at Raleigh’s Meymandi Hall in November of 2014. More information about this educational program can be found at ncsymphony.org. Also pictured (right) are audience members at Chapel Hill Philharmonia’s fall 2014 children’s concert, Mozart’s Magic Flute, which was made free to the public thanks to the gener-osity of WCPE Education Fund contributors and the fine musicians of this outstanding community orchestra.As I reflect on this hum-bling opportunity to

once again affect musical growth in North Carolina, I want to thank WCPE’s Education Fund contributors for your generosity, passion for music, faith in col-laboration, and belief in building a better community. Because of you, I have wit-nessed smiles overflowing from a deep well of self-confidence born from the mastery of a tricky musical passage or the mentoring of one’s peer. I have seen how you change lives by placing a violin in a child’s hands before it finds an instrument of destruction.

Music is one of mankind’s greatest gifts and sharing it is WCPE’s greatest joy. How many more truly beautiful realizations of this dream will we achieve together? I cannot wait to discover them with you!Whether you are a sus-tainer or periodic donor, I ask that you please spread the word about the WCPE Education Fund within your community. We work

directly with nonprofit organizations which provide musical education, and our annual application deadline is March 31. Please contact me if you have questions or would like to get involved in our efforts to make North Carolina a more musical place for all. E-mail: taralynn@theclassicalstation.org. q

Itzhak Perlman’s 70th BirthdayBy Patricia CraneIf you’ve been moved to tears by a solo violin in the past forty years, odds are good that the musician wielding the bow was Itzhak Perlman. The Israeli-born, Juilliard-trained virtuoso began his career as a child prodigy on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1958, and he has had a remarkable career: playing for heads of state, winning Emmys and Grammys, and tirelessly passing on his knowledge and talent to the next generation.Mr. Perlman has never been one to limit himself. A survivor of childhood polio, he performs seated in his scooter; nevertheless, he’s conducted the symphony orchestras of nearly every major city in North America. In the mid-1990s, his wife Toby founded the Perlman Music Program, which continues to provide promising young string players of all backgrounds the opportunity to study with their peers and the master himself.He became a household name in 1993 with his featured work on John Williams’s Oscar-winning soundtrack to Schindler’s List, and he’s since branched out into jazz, Ashkenazi

klezmer music, even rock: in March, he surprised the audience at Madison Square Garden with a guest appearance during Billy Joel’s concert.Itzhak Perlman celebrates his 70th birthday this year on August 31. To honor him that day, The Classical Station will feature his per-formances on Camille Saint-Saëns’s Havanaise at noon; Beethoven’s Kreutzer Violin Sonata with pianist Martha Argerich at 3:00 p.m.; and the Brahms Violin Concerto in D with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra at 8:00 p.m. Join us in celebrating the life and work of one of the greatest musicians of our time. q

150th Anniversary of Alexander Glazunov’s BirthBy Daniel McHughApart from Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff, and the “Mighty Handful,” Russia produced another great composer during the Romantic era—Alexander Glazunov. This summer, The Classical Station will celebrate the 150th anniversary of his birth with performances of some of his most influential compositions.Glazunov was born in St. Petersburg on August 10, 1865. He studied the piano beginning at age nine and soon after met Mily Balakirev, who introduced him to Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. Glazunov wrote his first symphony at the age of 16; it premiered in 1882. Later he met Mitrofan Belyayev, an important patron of the arts; he helped fund his travels through Western Europe. According to the Groves Dictionary

of Music, “Glazunov has a significant place because he succeeded in reconciling Russianism and Europeanism. He was the direct heir to Balakirev’s nationalism but tended more toward Borodin’s epic grandeur. At the same time he absorbed Rimsky-Korsakov’s orchestral virtuosity [and] the lyricism of Tchaikovsky.”1

Glazunov’s Violin Concerto in A (1904), known for its extensive “double-stops” (the technique of playing two strings at the same time), is one of his most famous works. His ballet The Seasons premiered in Saint Petersburg, Russia, in 1900 and later was published by Belyayev. Hear these and many more exciting works on August 10 as we cel-ebrate the birthday of Alexander Glazunov on The Classical Station. q1.

to discover that WCPE was the same—offer-ing the same wonderful Classical music I enjoyed before. I’m glad to be home! (Diane in Garner, NC)I love Classical music, and I was delighted to find WCPE on my TuneIn Radio app. I love the variety of music played, and I have even discovered some new pieces to add to my library, thanks to something I heard on WCPE. I also appreciate the “What’s Playing” list on the WCPE web site so I can confirm something I heard. I have the station playing whenever I am at home—I look forward to hearing more great music!

University of Virginia Professor Emeritus of Chemistry, Lester Andrews credits his son Ross with introducing him to WCPE. Because of the location of his research lab, Andrews is unable to receive radio signals. Andrews started using WCPE’s streaming capabilities in 2006. “I log on at the beginning and off at the end of my work day,” said Andrews.

It was Andrews’s mother, a music major and amateur keyboard player, who instilled in him an appreciation for music. He credits his father, an agronomy professor at Mississippi State, for his research career in chemistry. “I am a combination of my parents,” shared Andrews.

A “serious amateur” clarinet player, Andrews has always enjoyed music. He has played in high school and university bands as well as several UVA groups and the Charlottesville Municipal Band.

With an appreciation for many types of Classical music, Andrews especiallyenjoysoperasandsymphonies.HefindsthethirdmovementofBeethoven’s Eighth Symphony to be especially enjoyable, because of the lovely clarinet solo!
