Become a Founder of 99.5WGBH is making classical music commercial-free, 24/7, and you can play a part. Become a Founder of 99.5 All Classical today (wgbh.org/keepclassicalalive)!

More Classical, More News This month, WGBH brings WCRB 99.5 into the WGBH family of noncommercial, listener-supported public broadcasting stations, preserving full-time classical radio in Boston. We couldn’t be more excited!

When we learned that WCRB was for sale, we realized that no other purchaser would maintain the format of New England’s leading all-classical station. We knew this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for WGBH. We’ve been gratified to hear how pleased listeners are that WGBH will carry on such a rich musical tradition—and that we’ll now have a broader, 24/7 stage for WGBH’s inviting approach to classical music, on the air and online, as our classical programs migrate to the new service. Yo-Yo Ma put it most succinctly when he gave us an enthusiastic “two thumbs up!”

As we move our classical programs to 99.5 we’re thrilled to be able to provide more of the in-depth perspective and analysis you appreciate on 89.7. Our aim is to give you the context you need to better understand the issues of the day, with a special focus on the topics that aff ect our region.

The new 89.7 WGBH, Boston’s NPR station, will provide a forum for the myriad voices, stories and ideas of our shared community. As the producer of The World as well as such television mainstays as Greater Boston, Frontline, Nova and American Experience, we have extraordinary resources right in our Guest Street studios that we now can tap to enrich the lineup of the new 89.7. Rest assured, you’ll still find the very best jazz and Celtic music on 89.7 alongside our expanded news and information programming.

You can learn more about 99.5 All Classical and 89.7 WGBH on pages 24 and 25. As this issue of ’GBH, The Members’ Guide goes to press, our plans for the two radio services still are being confirmed. So for the very latest updates, I invite you to visit wgbh.org/listen.

We’ll have many more details for you next month, as we make this exciting transition. With so many opportunities for partnerships and synergies, we expect both 99.5 and 89.7 to grow and develop as the months progress. As the stations evolve, please continue to let us know what you think ([email protected]).

We’re grateful to have you in our corner as we broaden and strengthen classical music here in New England, and as we dig deeper into the issues that matter!

Holiday CheerA Christmas Celtic SojournJoin WGBH Radio host Brian O’Donovan for highlights from 2008’s popular live performance of A Christmas Celtic

Sojourn concert, featuring a lively blend of Celtic, pagan, and Christmas traditions.

Celtic Woman: Songs from the HeartIn Enniskerry, County Wicklow, Ireland at the historic Powerscout House and Gardens, the breathtaking

gardens are an ideal location for the musical vision of musical director and composer David Downes and the vocalists who comprise Celtic Woman. The program’s musical repertoire ranges from spirited Celtic fiddle and bodhran pieces to lush arrangements of Irish classics.

Great Performances/Andrea Bocelli & David Foster: My Christmas in ConcertPerennial favorite David Foster joins superstar Andrea Bocelli for a new Christmas concert of holiday classics. Recorded at the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles, the program also features special guests Natalie Cole, Mary J. Blige, Welsh mezzo-soprano Katherine Jenkins, and the Muppets, as well as a visit with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.

Radio City Christmas Spectacular Over its storied 77-year history, this cherished production has become America’s #1 holiday show. Viewers of all ages will delight in dynamic Rockette

performances, multiplying Santas and childhood dreams coming true in The Nutcracker.

HistoryThe National Parks: America’s Best IdeaCombining spectacular cine-matography and masterful storytelling, this latest series from filmmaker Ken Burns shows you our national parks as you’ve never seen them before! Filmed over the course of more than six years in some of nature’s most spectacular locales, it is simultaneously a biography of compelling characters and of the American landscape.

Music & DramaA Tale of Two Cities: The MusicalCharles Dickens’s classic tale of love set against the backdrop of the French Revolution is transformed into a sweeping musical epic. Recorded live at the historic Theatre Royal in

Brighton, England, and narrated by Michael York, this production includes principals from the recent Broadway show.

Andre Rieu Live in DresdenRecorded at the Semper Opera House in 2008, this is not only a concert, but also a real wedding party! The charming bride and bridegroom, who are part of the famous “Vienna Debutantes,” are joined by 40 fabulous pairs of dancers from the Elmayer Dance School in Vienna. Ed Sullivan: The SixtiesFrom 1963 to 1968, The Ed Sullivan Show served up an unparalleled roster of timeless artists, including The Beatles, The Doors, The Beach Boys, Petula Clark, Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons and the Young Rascals. Revisit the most exciting and explosive era of musical change with a variety of sounds that remain hugely popular today. (Shown: Ed Sullivan and Petula Clark)

Latin Music USAFrom Latin jazz and mambo to salsa, Tejano, Chicano rock, Latin pop and reggaeton, Latin Music USA tells the story of the rise of new American music forged from powerful Latin roots and reveals the influence of Latin music on jazz, hip-hop, rhythm & blues and rock ‘n’ roll—and on all of American culture. Jimmy Smits narrates. (Shown: Desi Arnaz)

Paul McCartney at Red SquareFor decades, The Beatles were banned by the Soviet government. Yet, generations of Russians were captivated by John, Paul, George and Ringo. This program tells the story of May 24, 2003, when Paul McCartney performed before a rapturous crowd of 100,000 in Moscow’s Red Square.

ScienceScience TrekThis out-of-this-world program explores the intersec-tion of science fiction and science fact. Combining clips from Star Trek and Star Trek: The Next Generation with interviews with some of the leading scientists and researchers from around the country, the program is an entertaining guide to the astonishing scientific advances being made in laboratories and universities around the country. PBS and Star Trek icon LeVar Burton hosts.

Puccini’s Tragic Triangle When it first debuted, Puccini’s Tosca was panned by the critics, and decades later musicologist Joseph Kerman called it a “shabby little

shocker.” But today Tosca, a tragic tale of love, murder and political intrigue, is one of the world’s most popular operas. Great Performances at the Met opens its fourth season with a new production of Tosca, staged by Luc Bondy in his Met debut, and starring soprano Karita Mattila in her first Met performance of the title role. James Levine conducts.

Alcott’s Double Life Louisa May Alcott, the author of Little Women, had a reputation as a morally upstanding New England spinster, reflecting the conventional propriety of late 19th-century Concord, Mass. An intellectual protégée of Emerson, Hawthorne and Thoreau, Alcott was actually a free thinker with democratic ideals and pro-gressive values about women. Most surprising is that she led, under the pseudonym A.M. Barnard, a literary double life, undiscovered until the 1940s. As Barnard, Alcott penned scandalous, sensational works with characters running the gamut from murderers and revolu-tionaries to cross-dressers and opium addicts.

Evo-DevoOn the 150th anniver-sary of the publication of Darwin’s famous On the Origin of

Species, Nova reveals answers to riddles that Darwin couldn’t explain. Stunning breakthroughs in a new science—nicknamed “evo-devo”—are linking the enigma of origins to another of nature’s great myster-ies: the development of an embryo. To explore this exciting new idea, Nova takes viewers on a journey from the Galapagos Islands to the Arctic, from the Cambrian explosion of animal forms half a billion years ago to the research labs of today. This absorbing detective story confirms the brilliance of Darwin’s insights, while exposing clues to life’s breathtaking diversity in ways he could scarcely have imagined.

Godmother of PunkShot over 11 years by acclaimed fashion photographer Steven Sebring, this film is a remarkable plunge into the life, art, memories and philosophical reflections of the legendary rocker, poet and artist Patti Smith. Sometimes dubbed the “godmother of punk”—a desig-nation justified by clips of her early rage-fueled performances—Smith was much more than that when she broke through with her 1975 debut album, Horses. A poet and visual artist as well as a rocker, she befriended and collaborated with some of the brightest lights of the American counterculture, an often testosterone-driven scene to which she brought a swagger and fierceness all her own.

P.O.V/Patti Smith: Dream of Life Wed, 12/30 at 9pm on WGBH 2/HD

Sugar and Spice Will girls entering adulthood in the next decade stride confidently through newly opened doors or are they destined to be stunted by societal messages that tell them females should be constantly agreeable, impossibly thin and, above all else, sexy? Researcher and author Rachel Simmons examines the challenges facing young women as they surf the waves of 21st- century adolescence. Simmons interviews

parents, psychologists, teachers and social workers and also talks with four girls who tell their own personal tales of dealing with issues like cyberbullying, body image and violence. With courage and determina-tion, these girls reveal their hopes and dreams for a powerful future.

borrowed time. They are the descendents of grizzlies, long-ago evolved to live and hunt on the

frozen ice of the Arctic, eating a specialized diet of seal meat. Grizzlies are masters at living off the land, making a meal from a wide variety of foods—meats, seeds, berries, insects, fruit and honey. 11pm 2/HD Charlie Rose

The Adirondack Park sprawls across six million acres in upstate New York. Bigger than Yellowstone, Yosemite, Glacier and Grand Canyon National Park combined, it is by far the largest park in the lower 48 states. It also is the only one on the continent in which large human populations live and whose land is divided almost evenly between protected wilder-ness and privately owned tracts.

The holidays are here, and 89.7 WGBH is ready, with an abundance of musical gifts to help you celebrate the season. We’ve got something for everyone: A Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols broadcast live from King’s College on Christmas Eve, Ellen Kushner’s The Golden Dreydl and PRI’s Kwanzaa celebration, A Season’s Griot. Then, get ready to ring in the New Year with NPR’s Toast of the Nation, which kicks off in Boston’s Berklee Performance Center at 8pm with jazz saxophone and clarinet sensation Anat Cohen.

Of course, it wouldn’t be December without WGBH’s Brian O’Donovan (host of A Celtic Sojourn)

and his popular annual A Christmas Celtic Sojourn concert, featuring a lively blend of Celtic, pagan and Christmas traditions. This year’s concert will be performed in Boston, Worcester and Providence, giving you multiple opportu-

nities to experience this memorable and intimate celebration of all things Celtic.

Looking to 2010, we’re pleased to announce a new series of live concerts at our studios, the Guest Street Sessions. The new series grows out of the success of our Celtic Sessions—popular Friday night gatherings organized by O’Donovan that bring together Celtic musicians and fans. Look for jazz, classical, world music, and news and public affairs “Sessions” in the coming months.

AudioFile’s Jen Goebel recently caught up with O’Donovan, the creative force behind as well as in front of so many WGBH productions, to get the scoop on Guest Street Sessions and the 2009 A Christmas Celtic Sojourn concert.

Q What are the new Guest Street Sessions?

A We started doing Celtic Sessions as an experiment last year, where I would invite a

group of Celtic musicians into the studios for informal performances and casual conversation with the audience. We started with Celtic because I have those connections, and it was the easiest way to test the idea. It has proven to be a huge success.

Celebrating the Season with Brian O’Donovan

Going forward, the Guest Street Sessions are going to explore all genres of music, as well as the arts and spoken word, in a way that really suits the WGBH audience—casual, inviting, informative and entertaining. Throughout the year, we’ll fea-ture classical, jazz, world music, Celtic, and news and information.

Q When are the Guest Street Sessions?

A They’re all going to be on Friday nights, with a gathering at 6pm for a light reception,

and then going into the beautiful Fraser Performance Studio at 7pm. In the studio, we’ll have multiple groups from the genre, or different news reporters and anchors if it’s a news and information session, there to talk about their work and have a conversation.

Q Where does the term “session” come from?

A The term “session” describes a casual gathering of people to share ideas—often

musical ideas. A session is really just a period of time where people play music, but it’s not neces-sarily a pure performance—that’s the difference.

Q What do you hope people will get out of these sessions?

A First of all, I hope that they’ll enjoy coming to WGBH and getting to know us a little better.

One of the most exciting things about our move to Brighton is the new public space—the theater, the atrium and, of course, the Fraser Performance Studio. With these unique gathering places, we

can offer WGBH members and listeners something they can’t get anywhere else.

Q You wear many hats here at WGBH. Among them, you pull together what

has become an annual tradition, the A Christmas Celtic Sojourn concerts. How is this year’s concert coming along?

A It’s our seventh year. Hard to believe, but it is, and we have a very exciting lineup this year

with artists coming from as far away as Sweden and Edinburgh, as well as two coming from Northern Ireland. We have an amazing dancer joining dance director Kieran Jordan this year, Nic Gareiss. He is steeped not only in traditional Irish music but also in the dances of Appalachia. The kids from the Harney Academy of Irish Dance were a big hit last year, and they will return this year. And we added PALS chorus, a Brookline-based chorus of children who provide the children’s chorus segments to the Boston Symphony Orchestra and to Tanglewood. They’re a highly prized chorus, and they will be joining us on stage as well. I’m very excited about that, actually. It’s a new twist for us.

Independent Journalism, Celtic Music and All That Jazz89.7 WGBH is expanding its news service to offer New England listeners more choices and more voices.

“We’ll have a new schedule in place for 89.7 that focuses on news and information,” says Radio General Manager John Voci, “as our classical programming migrates to the new 99.5 All Classical.”

The new 89.7 will be a leading source for perspective and analysis in Boston, providing valuable journalistic context from diverse viewpoints that helps us all better understand the issues of the day. “We’ll draw on resources right here in our Brighton studios,” says John, “from radio’s The World and the Web’s Forum Network to television’s Greater Boston, Frontline, Nova and American Experience. We’ll also build on the strong foundation of independent journalism and local flavor we’ve established with our Cape and Islands NPR station, WCAI.”

You’ll still find your jazz and Celtic favorites on 89.7 WGBH, alongside A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor. However, we’re taking folk and blues (genres available elsewhere on the radio dial) off our air to make room for a broader focus on analysis and perspective. We’re proud of the contributions 89.7 hosts Naomi Arenberg, Brendan Hogan and Brad Paul have made to these genres, and we’ll certainly miss their voices on 89.7.

As this issue of ’GBH, The Members’ Guide went to press, plans for the new 89.7 WGBH were coming together. We’ll continue to finetune our lineup in the days ahead to bring you the very best on 89.7. For the most up-to-date information, please visit wgbh.org/listen.

Thanks for your support as the new 89.7 evolves—and for your feedback! To tell us what you think, go to [email protected].
