The programs include unscripted and spontaneous conversation with hosts Rich Kleinfeldt and Bill McGlaughlin. The programs are recorded live in the Barns at Wolf Trap, an acoustically superb facility considered by some as one of the best places to hear music in the Washington, D.C. area. A popular segment of Center Stage from Wolf Trap is Off the Beaten Track which presents music written in our own time. This month features a performance of Edouard Lalo’s Piano Trio No. 1 in C minor, Op. 7 by the Eroica Trio, one of the world’s most sought-after ensembles.

Engineers of the New Millennium: Dream JobsSunday, September 5, 4 p.m.
This program profiles engineers around the world with challenging and exciting jobs that harness the imagination. We meet a robotics engineer, a video games designer, a Bollywood special effects expert, a toys engineer, and others with a passion for their work. We travel to four continents and hear stories of people who always knew what they wanted to be, and others with roundabout paths into fields they came to love. Keya Banerjee is a Bollywood special effects designer. She grew up amid India’s vibrant Bollywood industry, where her father was an international movie star. But her first love was a much smaller screen. “When I was 12,” she says, “I saw my first computer and said ‘Oh my God this is what I want to do,’ and from the age of 12 to 22 I begged my parents for a computer.” Banerjee finally got her computer, and ended up studying graphic design at Harvard and UCLA before returning to India to work in the film industry. Now she’s a successful visual effects supervisor.

After the September 11th attacks destroyed the twin towers of the World Trade Center, rescue professionals from many parts of the country raced to New York City to help search for victims. Among them was Robin Murphy, a robotics expert whose efforts after 9/11 marked the birth of a new and still rapidly evolving field—rescue robotics. David Schneider visited Murphy in her lab to learn more about her and the potentially life-saving techniques she’s pioneering.
Robin Murphy shows off her robots at a train wreck staged for rescue drills.
When Kenyon Kluge’s childhood dreams were to become an astronaut. “Then I wanted to become a pilot and then hopefully, a shuttle pilot.” But when he got older, Kluge loved designing electronic chips and devices, and he loved racing motorcycles. He never expected to find a job where he could combine his passions, but he did. We visit Kluge at the Zero Motorcycles facility near Santa Cruz, California. Engineers of the New Millennium: Dream Jobs was co-produced by IEEE Spectrum Magazine and the National Science Foundation.

“The Crescent and the Cross, Part 2”
Sunday, September 5
The BBC’s Owen Bennett Jones continues his exploration of key turning points in the history of Islam and Christianity. Malta was the site of one such turning point. In the mid-16th century, Malta was controlled by a group of devout militant Christians, now known as the Knights of Malta. These Knights ran afoul of the Ottoman Emperor, Suleiman the Magnificent. Bennett Jones takes us back to the legendary siege of Malta. He then concludes this series with a look at the siege of Khartoum, telling how the son of a Sudanese boat builder and self-proclaimed messianic redeemer successfully took on the might of the British Empire.
“Young Voices”
Sunday, September 12
Although quite young, Thembi Ngubane was courageously open about living with AIDS in a South African township at a time when most people in South Africa kept quiet about it. In this moving and personal audio diary, Thembi recorded her experience of the pain of having to break the news to her parents, of visits to the doctor, of her great love for her boyfriend Melikhaya and her daughter Onwabo, and of her thoughts of not being around any more. The village of Alert Bay is perched on a tiny island off Canada’s Pacific coast. It’s the only settlement on Cormorant Island, an island that is fewer than two-and-a-half miles long. Recently, teenagers were given recording equipment and asked to capture their lives and their community. This documentary weaves together their earnest stories about youth, boredom, their love of home, and their longing to leave it.

occupation, division, and international isolation since that 19th century warning. When it finally opened to the rest of the world, foreign money and expertise flooded in. Now, little more than a generation later, China is poised to overtake Japan to become the world’s second-largest economy. Its unprecedented growth in exports has left it holding more foreign currency than any other nation—financial power that China is beginning to use to challenge the American dollar’s long-standing dominance as the medium of international trade.

“China: Shaking the World, Part 2”
Sunday, September 26
China’s economic resurgence lifted hundreds of millions from poverty and helped the Communist Party maintain its authority and control. But potential dangers lie ahead. Internally, there’s a housing and construction bubble that could burst, spreading problems far beyond China’s borders. Externally, there are threats of trade sanctions from recession-hit America, where many accuse China of manipulating its currency to gain unfair advantage. We examine the political, economic, and cultural mechanisms of China’s growing global influence. Michael Robinson assesses the prospects and problems of a shift of power from West to East.

America Abroad: “Young and Restless: Youth Identity in the Arab World”Sunday, September 12, 4 p.m.
The Arab world has the largest youth bulge on the planet, with one-third of the region’s inhabitants between 15 and 24. The region’s youth population is facing a bleak economic future, and they live in a seething cauldron of tribal, national, religious, social, and political forces that simultaneously pull them east and west. In this program, we travel to several Arab countries to examine how Islam, globalization, and a turbulent region are shaping how teens and twenty-somethings look at themselves, and the world.
Arab youngsters
We begin as Sean Carberry visits Jordan to explore how young people are navigating between global, religious, and tribal forces as they form their identities. His guests include Muin Khoury, research analyst with the Royal Hashemite Court in Jordan; and Naseem Tarawnah, a founder and editor of 7iber.com, a youth-oriented and Jordanian-based independent media outlet. Next, Carberry reports from Cairo on the conflicting pressures facing Egyptian women as they struggle to reconcile traditional codes of conduct with western norms when it comes to dating and relationships. His guests include Ghada Abdel Aal, blogger and author of the best-selling I Want to Get Married!; and Marwa Rakha, dating writer and blogger. We then travel to Michigan with Jordana Gustafson who reports on the struggles facing young Arab-Americans as they negotiate their identities in the United States. She speaks with Suha Ahmed, a graduate student at Wayne State University in Detroit who works at the Arab-American National Museum in Dearborn.
Snap Judgment: “The Man in the White Hat”Sunday, September 19, 4 p.m.
Snap Judgment’s raw, intimate, and musical brand of storytelling dares you to see a sliver of the world through another’s eyes. Deejay-driven musical delivery, paired with lush sound design, drops you into the heart of the action. The fast-paced (sometimes dark, sometimes playful) narrative highlights stories burning hot on the lips of people from across the globe. It’s a sweet rhythmic blend of drama, humor, music, and personality all hosted by the winner of the Public Radio Talent Quest, Glynn Washington. This episode of Snap Judgment features stories of people who rely on the kindness of strangers to get them out of whatever mess they happen to be in. Segments include: “Milagro in El Paso”: Frenchman Pascal loves America. He loves the scenery, the people, and most of all, his girlfriend. He loves it so much that he overstays his visa—and in El Paso, everything goes to heck. Lucky for him, cowboys still live in Texas. “Story Corps Stabbing”: At the end of a dark hallway is a door. Behind that door is a madman. It’s the job of two caring women to try to save him, and each other.“Fertilizer Bomb”: A ten-ton bomb on wheels threatens the citizens of North Carolina. “Jeff meets Arthur C. Clarke”: The most famous science fiction author in the world reaches down and changes the destiny of a 14-year-old aspiring writer. “Lake Michigan”: Brett was 13, omnipotent and having the time of his life swimming in Lake Michigan—going out deeper and deeper. But Mother Nature doesn’t care for hubris.“Not a Cat Lady”: You might take it upon yourself to save the day, but sometimes the hero in one story is also the villain in someone else’s. “Bad White Hat”: Sometimes the man who comes to the rescue is not the man to be trusted. Snap Judgment—storytelling with a beat.

Humankind: “Mia Farrow”Sunday, September 26, 4 p.m.
“I wear around my neck this amulet, which was given to me by a woman named Halima . . . She held my two hands and said, ‘Tell people what is happening here. Tell them we will all be slaughtered. Tell them we need help.’ And I promised Halima that I would do my best to do that.”—Mia Farrow, actress and human rights activist
Fame and success—both artistic and critical—came to actress Mia Farrow at an early age. Following her young life in 1940’s Hollywood as the daughter of screenwriter-director John Farrow and the actress Maureen O’Sullivan, she gained national attention in television and starred in more than forty movies, including Rosemary’s Baby and Hannah and Her Sisters. As successful as her professional life was, her personal life was marked with many struggles—leading her to become a high-profile advocate for children’s rights, working to raise funds and awareness for children in conflict-affected regions, predominantly Africa. Since her appointment as a UNICEF Good Will Ambassador in 2000, Farrow has campaigned for the rights of children affected by violence. In 2008, she testified at a Senate subcommittee hearing about her ninth trip to what she called “a triangle of human suffering”: Darfur, eastern Chad and the Central African Republic. In this edition of Humankind, Farrow tells her story, from her childhood bout with polio to her crusade for the suffering people of Sudan.
Artist of the MonthWFIU’s Artist of the Month for September is conductor Leonard Slatkin. Leonard Slatkin is the Arthur R. Metz Foundation Conductor at IU’s Jacobs School of Music and the Distinguished Artist in Residence at the American University. He has enjoyed a long career conducting some of the most prestigious orchestras in the world. He began his training at Indiana University and Los Angeles City College before getting his degree from the Julliard School. He conducted his debut concert in 1966 with the New York Youth Symphony, and he became the assistant conductor for the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra under the guidance of his former teacher Walter Susskind. Slatkin stayed in St. Louis for the next seventeen years and helped to increase the reputation of the orchestra with a vast output of high-quality recordings. While building the SLSO, Slatkin also accepted guest engagements with leading orchestras in Europe and the United States including the Chicago Lyric Opera, Vienna Staatsoper, Paris Opera, and the Metropolitan. His list of recordings include the standard symphonies ranging from Haydn to Elgar, while his artistry as a conductor appears the most in his performance of twentieth-century composers such as Adams, Barber, Castelnuovo-Tedesco, Corigliano (whose A Dylan Thomas Trilogy he premiered), Ives, Schuman, and Piston. He has received acclaim for his recordings of Gounod’s Romeo et Juliette, the complete Vaughan Williams symphonies, and a series of works by Bernstein. His recording of William Bolcom’s Songs of Innocence and of Experience earned him a Grammy Award. He premiered his own composition, The Raven (based on the poem by Edgar Allen Poe), with the SLSO. WFIU will feature music conducted by Leonard Slatkin throughout the month of September.
Featured Contemporary Composer
Louis Andriessen
WFIU’s featured composer for September is Louis Andriessen. Born in 1939 in Holland, Andriessen’s earliest teachers included his father, uncle, and brother, all of whom had prominent musical careers. He studied further with Luciano Berio after receiving first prize for his compositions. He began teaching at the Royal Conservatory in 1973, and gave guest lectures at schools such as Yale, the University at Buffalo (SUNY), and Princeton. He later joined the faculty of the Royal Conservatory playing an important role in developing the talent of the next generation of Dutch composers. Early works by Andriessen show experimentation with various contemporary trends: post war serialism (Series, 1958), pastiche (Anachronie I, 1966-67), and tape (Il Duce, 1973). His reaction to what he perceived as the conservatism of much of the Dutch contemporary music scene quickly moved him to form a radically alternative musical aesthetic of his own. Since the early 1970s he has refused to write for conventional symphony orchestras and has instead written for his own idiosyncratic instrumental combinations. Andriessen’s mature music combines the influences of jazz, American minimalism, Igor Stravinsky, and Claude Vivier. His harmonic writing abandons the consonant modality of much minimalism, preferring post-war European dissonance, often combined into large blocks of sound. WFIU will feature music composed by Louis Andriessen throughout the month of September.

September 12th-18th Boismortier: Concertos for Five Flutes
(Dorian DSL-90803)Stephen Schutz, flutes French composer Joseph Bodin de Boismortier wrote instrumental music, cantatas, opera ballets, and vocal music. He considerably extended the repertory of his favorite instrument, the transverse flute. Stephen Schultz performs these works for five flutes alone in a seamless example of multi-track editing.
September 19th-25th Brahms: Complete Works for Solo Piano, Vol. 4
(Oehms Classics OC 743)Andreas Boyde, piano
Andreas Boyde knows about the perils of recording Brahms: cheap showmanship, an excess of sentimentality, and falsely understood “heaviness” that too often kill the musical substance of Brahms’ music. Boyde’s interpretations reveal the structures of the composer’s works, enabling the soul of Brahms’ musical world to resound naturally.
September 26th-October 2nd
Revelation
(Analekta AN 2 9974)Valérie Milot, harp
The young Québec harpist Valérie Milot plays the harp with a style that challenges the clichés one associates with the instrument. The winner of numerous competitions, she was the first harpist in nearly 100 years to receive the Prix d’Europe, in 2008. On Revelation she takes the listener on a tour of the harp repertoire of the late nineteeth and twentieth centuries with works by Ginastera, Ravel, Godefroid, and others.
The Radio Reader with Dick Estell
Elliot Allagash by Simon RichAirs: September 8 to 27
Simon Rich, the youngest-ever writer for Saturday Night Live, dazzled readers with his absurdist sense of humor in his hilarious collections Ant Farm and Free-Range Chickens. Now comes Rich’s rollicking debut novel which explores the strangest, most twisted, and comically fraught terrain of them all: high school. Seymour Herson is the least popular student at Glendale, a private school in Manhattan. He’s painfully shy, physically inept, and his new nickname, “chunk style,” is in danger of entering common usage. But Seymour’s solitary existence comes to a swift end when he meets the new transfer student: Elliot Allagash, evil heir of America’s largest fortune. Elliot’s rampant delinquency has already gotten him expelled from dozens of prep schools around the country. But despite his best efforts, he can’t get himself thrown out of Glendale; his father has simply donated too much money. Bitter and bored, Elliot decides to amuse himself by taking up a challenging and expensive new hobby: transforming Seymour into the most popular student in the school. An unlikely friendship develops between the two loners as Elliot introduces Seymour to new concepts, such as power, sabotage, and vengeance. With Elliot as his diabolical strategist and investor, Seymour scores a spot on the basketball team, becomes class president, and ruthlessly destroys his enemies. Using sabotage, fraud, and a shocking amount of money, Elliot transforms Seymour into the most beloved boy in school. But what began as an amusing experiment ends in a way that neither of them could have expected.

Art Hilgart,1936-2010Art Hilgart, host and producer of Broadway Revisited, the weekly series that showcases music of the American theater, died on August 3rd. He was 74. He lived in Kalamazoo, Michigan with his wife of 53 years, Carolyn. Hilgart once wrote that he began Broadway Revisited, “to share the pleasure I had over the decades from the superior popular songs that constitute one of our significant national art forms . . . and “to honor the past and present creators of the form and help keep their contributions alive.” His interest in the musical theater began at age four when his parents took him to see The Student Prince. He involved himself with theater ever since, serving on boards associated with theater programs at Kalamazoo College and Western Michigan University, and as president of the award-winning Kalamazoo Civic Players. He also had a strong interest in jazz. He taught courses in jazz history and musical theater history at Kalamazoo College and Western Michigan University, wrote CD liner notes, and regularly reviewed jazz for The Journal of the International Association of Jazz Record Collectors. Hilgart studied music, but, he admitted, “I can’t play well enough to amuse anyone but myself.”

Baby, We Were Meant for Each OtherScott Simon’s new book is a warm and funny tale of adoption.
Scott Simon
In his new book, Scott Simon, host of Weekend Edition Saturday, tells the story of how he and his wife Caroline found true love with two tiny strangers from the other side of the world. It contains memorable moments, such as when the Simons first look at pictures of their daughters, and when the small girls are placed in their arms. Woven into the tale are the stories of other adoptive families. Some are famous and some are not, but each family’s saga captures facets of the miracle of adoption. The book doesn’t gloss over the rough spots. There are anxieties and tears along with hugs and smiles and the joy of making a family. This is a book that families who have adopted—or are considering adoption—will want to read for inspiration. But everyone can enjoy this story because, as Scott Simon writes, adoption can also help us understand what really makes families, and how and why we fall in love.
Excerpt from Baby, We Were Meant for Each Other:
My wife and I, not having had children in the traditional, Abraham-and-Sarah-begat manner, have learned to make jokes about the way we’ve had our family. (“Pregnant! Why would you do that? Those clothes! And you can’t drink for months!”) Jokes are sometimes the only sensible answer to some of the astoundingly impertinent questions people can ask, right in your children’s faces. “How much did they cost? Are they healthy? You know, you
hear stories. So why did you go overseas? Not enough kids here?” But we cannot imagine anything more remarkable and marvelous than having a stranger put into your arms who becomes, in minutes, your flesh, your blood: your life. There are times when the adoption process is exhausting and painful and makes you want to scream. But, I am told, so does childbirth. wRaindrops rattled the roof of our small bus, seeped through the windows, and pitted the windshield with great wet gobs. “A sad day,” sighed Julie from Utah, while the cityscape of Nanchang, China, slabs of brown and gray with wet laundry flapping, rolled by our windows. Five sets of strangers were together on the bus, about to share one of the most intimate moments of our lives. We had Cheerios, wipes, and diapers in our hands.“A happy day,” Julie added, “but also sad,” and then we just listened to the ping of raindrops. A month before, this moment couldn’t have happened fast enough. Now it was here; and we weren’t ready. wA few weeks before, we had received a few photos in an envelope: a small girl with rosebud lips, quizzical eyebrows, and astonished eyes. She was about six months old at the time of the picture. A dossier prepared by Chinese adoption officials told us that she was smart, active, funny, hungry, energetic, and impatient (all of which remain a good description to this day). The officials had given her a name: Feng Jia-Mei. A little girl named Excellent-Beautiful. From the Feng township. We made copies of the photos, slipped them into our wallets, sent them around to friends and families, and doled them out like business cards, often to total strangers. “Jia-Mei Simon” was imprinted along the bottom, like the name under a photo in a class yearbook. Feng Jia-Mei, Jia-Mei. Excellent, Beautiful, Jia-Mei Simon. wOur small bus pulled up before a great gray file cabinet of a building in central Nanchang. So: this is where we are going to become parents. You walk into the building as a couple, and leave a few minutes later as a family. You walk in recollecting long romantic dinners, nights at the theater, and carefree vacations. You leave worrying about where to get diapers, milk, and Cheerios.
Grinning bureaucrats received us and showed us to a staircase. They took us down a flight and into a room. We saw smiling middle-aged women in white smocks holding babies, cooing, singing, and hefting them in their arms. We shucked raindrops from our shoes and coats. We checked cameras and cell phones. We looked at the women in the smocks and then realized—they held our children in their arms. We saw Elise. She was five months older than in the picture we had, but still recognizably the little girl in the thumbnail portrait. Pouty little mouth, tiny, endearing little downy baby duck’s head, fuzzy patch of hair, and amazed eyebrows, crying, steaming, red-faced, and bundled into a small, puffy pink coat. We blinked back tears and cleared our throats. “Feng Jia-Mei?” we asked softly. The woman in the white smock looked down at a tag—as if checking the size—and smiled. “Ah, yes. Feng Jia-Mei!” She put her into my wife’s arms. I tried to point a video camera, snap pictures, roll audio, and hug them, all at the same time. Our little girl’s tears fell like soft, fat, furious little jewels down her face. As Caroline lifted her slightly from her lap to hold her, Elise soaked her own tufted little legs with a hot surge of pee. And then, as we laughed, cried, and hugged her even more fiercely, Feng Jia-Mei opened her small robin’s mouth and burped up a geyser of phlegm, fear, and breakfast. Baby, baby, our baby.

Top 7 things you can do to leave a legacy We Americans are generous—some 70 percent of us give to charity each year. When it comes to estate planning, however, less than six percent of us include non-profits in our plans. But just imagine the difference we’d make in our communities if more people donated to their favorite nonprofits! If you want to make a difference, consider charitable organizations in your estate planning—and remember that WFIU qualifies as a charitable non-profit organization through the Indiana University Foundation.
Below are seven easy things to consider when you plan or revise your estate.
1. Prepare a will. A will gives you control over your belongings. Without one, others may decide what happens to your possessions.
2. Leave a specific dollar amount or a percentage of the assets in your will to the non-profits that you value.
3. Consider using appreciated assets to fund current charitable gifts and planned gifts. These include, but aren’t limited to: stocks, bonds, certificates of deposit, real estate, vehicles, art and jewelry. Such gifts may even provide tax savings.
4. Name one or more non-profits as the beneficiary of your pension plan, IRA, or retirement plan. Doing so can avoid estate and income taxes (up to 70%) that might otherwise be due on the remainder of the funds you didn’t spend during your lifetime.
5. Name your favorite non-profits as the owner and/or beneficiary of a new or existing life insurance policy.
6. Call your favorite non-profits about special funds or programs you’d like to support.
7. Support a fund in memory of a loved one, such as naming a room after a deceased relative.

5 Sunday 7:06 AM CLASSICAL MUSIC Purcell, Ockeghem, and Gottschalk12:00 PM SAINT PAUL SUNDAY Pearls “Baroque” comes from the Portugese word
originally used to describe pearls prized for their misshapen and often fantastic forms. These rarities helped inspire a style of architecture that took extravagant license with inherited traditions and eventually also came to refer to musical forces that did the same. This week, the masterful performers of REBEL plunge into Baroque repertoire with all the zest their name implies. They trace its development from early origins in Mozart and Bach through and beyond Georg Philipp Telemann’s thrilling stylistic juxtapositions. We’ll also hear lesser known pearls of Francesco Mancini and Johann Joachim Quantz.

Hall, pianist Imogen Cooper returns to Saint Paul Sunday this week for music of Haydn, Schumann, and the final movement of
Thomas Adès’s Traced Overhead, a work of otherworldly beauty that she commissioned herself. In different ways, each of the works demands technical virtuosity and emotional agility—powers Ms. Cooper possesses in abundance. Perhaps above all she reveals the music from the inside out, taking us with her as she goes, and leaving no treasure concealed.

and interpretations—a freedom the six
adventurers of eighth blackbird delight in every chance they get. This week eighth blackbird brings us two works that take us a few steps further. Frederic Rzewski’s Les Moutons de Panurge uses hopscotch-like addition and repetition to spark ever changing patterns of sound and line: each performance of it generates an entirely new composition. And in his Fantasy Études, Fred Lerdahl elaborates simple themes into variations of increasing color and richness, showing us in the process how eighth blackbird’s assorted textures can interact in countless different ways. The blackbirds animate both with characteristic brilliance and verve, as they do the two works that complete their program, Derek Bermel’s Tied Shifts and Ashley Fure’s Inescapable.

Thousands of bats, three home run records and one “curse” have been broken since Ken Burns last explored the history of America’s national pastime with his landmark 1994 PBS series Baseball. The Tenth Inning tells the tumultuous story of America’s national pastime from the early 1990s to the present day, introducing an unforgettable array of players, teams and fans, celebrating the game’s resilience and enduring appeal, and showcasing both extraordinary accomplishments—and devastating losses and disappointments. The film highlights dramatic developments that transformed the game: the crippling 1994 strike that left many fans disillusioned with their heroes; the increasing dominance of Latino and Asian players who turned baseball into a truly international game; baseball’s skyrocketing profits, thanks to new stadiums, interleague play, and the wild card; the rise of a new Yankee Dynasty; the Red Sox’ historic World Series victory; the astonishing feats of Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa and Barry Bonds; and the revelations about performance-enhancing drugs. Combining extraordinary highlights, stunning still photographs, popular music of the period, and insightful commentary by players, managers, experts and fans, The Tenth Inning interweaves the story of the national pastime with the story of America. In an age of globalization, deregulation and speculation, the film demonstrates that baseball has continued to be a mirror of the country—at its best and at its worst. The film will air 16 years after the original Emmy Award-winning, nine-part documentary series Baseball debuted in 1994 during the players’ strike. The original series was seen by more than 43 million viewers, making it the most-watched program in PBS history.
