Windows on Our WorldOne of the things you’ve told us you value most about WGBH is that we bring you subjects and people you may not even have realized you were interested in—original, scrupulously researched stories that add to your understanding not only of our world, but of each other.
This month, we’re proud to showcase two major WGBH projects: The first offers a dramatically fresh examination of our nation’s past and present; the second, a piercing look at a crisis in our own community.
“You can’t understand America in the 21st century if you don’t under-stand the Native experience,” says WGBH’s Sharon Grimberg, executive producer for We Shall Remain (see page 12). A unique collaboration with
Native filmmakers, scholars, and advisors, “We Shall Remain helps us rethink our nation’s history through the original stories of Native peoples told in their own voices.”
At the heart of this American Experience initiative is a five-part documentary, comple-mented by a short film project, a national com-munity engagement campaign, a companion public radio series, and a powerful website with
streaming video (pbs.org/weshallremain) that will ensure this project has the power to reach—and teach—for many years to come.
Shedding light—making an impact—also drives Project Dropout, a WGBH-WBUR exploration of the dropout crisis. “Every 29 seconds in the US, a student drops out of high school,” says WGBH senior producer Hillary Wells. “In Massachusetts, more than 11,000 students drop out every year. We’re taking a hard look at this ‘silent epidemic’ and possible solutions.”
This collaborative effort includes a series of radio and TV reports and a blog where at-risk students are posting video diaries throughout the school year. It culminates this month (see page 9) with a live TV special with Greater Boston’s Emily Rooney, WBUR Radio Boston’s David Boeri and One-on-One’s María Hinojosa, simulcast on WGBH, WBUR, WGBY World and WFCR, and streamed with a live chat (projectdropout.org).
Original, in-depth stories and subjects that have the power to change not only our understanding of past and present, but also our capacity to shape the future. All this, thanks to you!

What’s on

We Shall RemainWGBH’s award-winning series American Experience presents We Shall Remain, a provocative, multimedia project that establishes Native history as an essential part of American history. At the heart of the project is a five-part television series that shows how Native peoples valiantly resisted expulsion from their lands and fought the extinction of their culture. An unprecedented collaboration between Native and non-Native filmmakers, the series presents five films over five weeks:
4/13: After the MayflowerThe first episode explores the polar strategies—peaceful diplomacy and warfare—the Wampanoag people employed in their struggle to maintain their identity.
4/20: Tecumseh’s VisionShawnee warrior Tecumseh and his brother, the prophet Tenskwatawa, organized an ambitious pan-Indian resistance movement—all committed to stopping white westward expansion.
4/27: Trail of TearsDespite decades of struggle to keep their land, thousands of Cherokee were forced from their homes in the southeastern United States in 1838. More than 4,000 died of disease and starvation along the way.
5/4: GeronimoAt a time when surrender to the reserva-tion and acceptance of the white man’s civilization seemed to be the Indians’ only realistic options, Geronimo and his tiny band of Chiricahuas fought on. The final holdouts, they became the last Native American fighting force to capitu-late formally to the government of the United States.
5/11: Wounded KneeOn the night of February 27, 1973, Oglala Lakota and American Indian Movement
(AIM) protesters demanded redress for grievances, capturing the world’s attention for 71 gripping days.
For more information on the films and other aspects of the project—including ReelNative, an innovative short film project; a community engagement campaign; and a partnership with the American Library Association—go to pbs.org/weshallremain. Explore related lectures on the WGBH Forum Network at wgbh.org/forum.

Spring Music Is in the AirSpring, the season of blossoms and bird songs, of new life and budding romance, has inspired poets and composers through the ages. In Shakespeare’s The Two Gentlemen of Verona, the Bard compares a romantic beginning to an April day: “O, how this spring of love resembleth/The uncertain glory of an April day/Which now shows all the beauty of the sun/And by and by a cloud takes all away.”
Here at WGBH, we celebrate this season of rebirth and renewal with a cheerful bouquet of classical pianists and orchestral pieces. We start the month with two live radio performances. On Monday, 4/6, Classical Performances host Richard Knisely welcomes pianist and avid chamber musician Michael Lewin to our studios at 3pm. Then, on Thursday, 4/9, Cathy Fuller hosts soprano Dominique Labelle with pianist Yehudi Wyner at 11am on Classics in the Morning.
On Friday, 4/10 at 1pm, BSO Live features assistant conductor Shi-Yeon Sung leading the Boston Symphony Orchestra in an ambitious program of music from four countries. The eminent Brazilian pianist Nelson Freire joins Sung and the BSO, per-forming pieces from Finland, Norway, China and, of course, the American classic, Aaron Copland’s “Appalachian Spring.”
To whet your appetite for Sir Roger Norrington’s (see page 27) seasonal appearance with the Handel and Haydn Society at the end of April, on 4/12 Sunday Concert features an April 2008 recording of Norrington conducting “Harmoniemesse.” The last of Haydn’s six great
masses and his last major work, “Harmoniemesse” is Haydn at his mature and optimistic peak. The pro-gram also features Haydn’s powerful Symphony No. 44, “Trauer.”
Pianist Yaron Kohlberg pays a visit to our studios on Tuesday, 4/14 at 3pm to perform live on Classical Performances. The second prize winner at the 2007 Cleveland International Piano Competition, Kohlberg is one of Israel’s leading young pianists and performs around the world to critical acclaim.
April finishes up with Classical Performances’ tribute to William Shakespeare on the Bard’s birthday, Thursday, 4/23. Host Richard Knisely

Handel, Haydn and Sir Roger Norrington
was modeled after similar groups in Britain. Though Handel was from Germany and Haydn from Austria, they both became thought of as English composers, even though Handel spoke with a strong German accent, and so did Haydn. In fact, Haydn never learned much English, though he spoke French and Italian, of course, since he had many Italian girlfriends. Both composers were imports from the heartland of musical Europe, but spent time in London, and it was probably easier for Bostonians to access music from England.Handel’s oratorios touched on themes about the British nation and the Old Testament, seen then as a symbol of Britain, so if you’re a Boston merchant trying to emulate that sense of community, Handel gives you that absolutely, as does Haydn with The Creation and The Seasons.
Q How did classical music performances in the 1800s differ from today’s concerts?
A At the time, audiences only wanted new music. When Haydn went to England for the
first time in 1791, he had already written 82 symphonies, but he sat down and wrote 12 more while he was there. Even as late as the 1920s and ’30s, people had no idea about Baroque music, had never heard of composers like Monteverdi—they were infused with Wagner and Strauss. Now, we have this extraordinary richness not only going back to the Baroque period, but long before, to Gesualdo and the Middle Ages, and it’s a wonderful sweep of music that we can all enjoy.
Q When did the Handel and Haydn Society switch to using period instruments,
and why?
A About 10 years ago, we made the decision to go back to the early instruments because we
wondered what this music would have sounded like at the time of its creation. Baroque instru-ments used gut strings and different kinds of bows with far fewer hairs, and the string instruments were more fragile and couldn’t be pressed so hard. The instruments had a different pitch, and the music was nearly a semitone lower. A major difference is vibrato—in Handel and Haydn’s day,
vibrato was unknown. Take that away, and suddenly the sound is more innocent. With the period instruments, we felt we got nearer to the composer’s intentions.
Q What do you like best about classical music?
A Classical music, in theory, covers all the bases. It has the rhythmic excitement of jazz, the
simple tunes of folk, rock and pop, and then it begins—the sky’s the limit. In the Baroque period, composers wrote for the church and for princes, which was pretty elitist. But while in London, Haydn wrote for the new middle class—he wrote music for the streets, but it reached up to the heavens, so to speak, and was music for everyone. That’s what classical music is at its best—humane, witty, understanding, moving and extremely satisfying.
The Handel and Haydn Society will be performing a program of Haydn’s first works under Sir Roger Norrington at Boston’s Symphony Hall on Friday, 4/24 and Sunday 4/26. More details at wgbh.org/events.
Coda
A native of Oxford, England, Sir Roger Norrington crosses the pond several times a year to work as the Boston-based Handel and Haydn Society’s artistic advisor. The Society is well known for its masterful performances of Baroque and classical music for chorus and period-instru-ment orchestra. Founded in 1815 by a group of Boston merchants, the Society is among the oldest continuously performing arts organizations in the country.
Norrington, widely considered a pioneer in the field of historically informed performance since founding the Schütz Choir in 1962, has been the Chief Conductor of the Radio Symphony Orchestra of Stuttgart since 1998. He recently spoke with WGBH radio producer Michelle Sweet (Classical Connections) about the Handel and Haydn Society.
Q Why did the Society choose to name itself after Handel and Haydn?
A To us, Handel and Haydn seem quite long ago, but in 1815, when the Handel and Haydn
Society was formed, Franz Joseph Haydn was the most famous composer in the world. Haydn was more famous than Beethoven, and certainly more than Mozart, who made the unfortunate mistake of dying in 1791.
