Dear Member,

October is always an exciting month for premieres. We’re delighted to bring you an all-new season of Check, Please! – join us as our reviewers weigh in on more Chicago-area restaurants. We also present the highly anticipated Season 3 of Poldark, which will be preceded by a marathon of Season 2 throughout

the day just prior, along with new seasons of Finding Your Roots with Dr. Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Nature, Frontline, and The Durrells in Corfu. Also in the Sunday night lineup: The Collection, set in a post-World War II Paris fashion house. Remember that many of these series will be available in their entirety beginning on premiere night if you activate your WTTW Passport subscription.

Also this month on WTTW11 and wttw.com/watch, celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, Polish American Heritage Month, and Italian American Heritage Month with an array of relevant content. Take in the best of Broadway with the musicals She Loves Me and Falsettos. The documentary series POV tells the stories of a swim team composed of children with autism, whale-hunting off the Faroe Islands, cinematographer Kirsten Johnson, and

the busiest maternity hospital in the world. Finally, just in time for Halloween, join us for a revealing American Masters profile of Edgar Allan Poe.

This month on wttw.com’s Playlist, test your knowledge of Chicago’s hottest restaurants as you try to guess which of them our intrepid Check, Please! reviewers will be dishing about during this new season, and catch up on our drama series via weekly recaps of Poldark and The Durrells in Corfu. Also, former America’s Test Kitchen host Christopher Kimball will tell us about Milk Street, his new venture that explores global cooking techniques. And in advance of Open House Chicago, we pick some of the best sites to visit, from significant buildings to the best view to newly added locations.

The Kontras Quartet, WFMT’s new ensemble-in-residence, will join Carl Grapentine and Candice Agree to explore how folk music has involved and influenced classical composers. Besides their Folk Music Inspirations segments, they’ll join Kerry Frumkin in Levin Studio mid-month as part of our new season of Live from WFMT. October also marks a new season from the San Francisco Symphony; music director Michael Tilson Thomas is joined by guests including pianists Andras Schiff and Daniil Trifonov and soprano Susanna Phillips. Closer to home, we have a Saturday-afternoon opera from the Chicago Symphony Orchestra: Verdi’s comedy Falstaff, with Riccardo Muti conducting, a performance from April 2016 that honored both the Shakespeare anniversary and Maestro Muti’s lifetime commitment to Verdi.

On WFMT.com you’ll find a behind-the-scenes look at Lyric Opera of Chicago’s new production of Wagner’s Die Walküre with WFMT announcer Maggie Reberg, who also performs in the opera herself! Also discover the sounds of folk instruments from around the world in a new video series with ensemble-in-residence Kontras Quartet.

Thanks for your support, and have a wonderful month!

Sincerely,

Dan SchmidtPresident & CEO

2-for-1 Tickets to Chicago Philharmonic’s Body and SoulAccompanied by the Apollo Chorus of Chicago and Evanston Children’s Choir, the Chicago Philharmonic

opens its 2017-2018 season with Body and Soul, featuring the renowned Carmina Burana by Carl Orff. Inspired by a collection of medieval poems, Orff explores the earthly experiences of fortune and fate: journeying from the village green bursting with life and the joyful return of spring, to the pleasures in the tavern and the perils of the court of love.

For 2-for-1 admission to Chicago Philharmonic’s Body and Soul, visit chicagophilharmonic.org or call (312) 957-0000 and use code BODY2 when purchasing tickets. The performances take place on Sunday, October 15 at 7:00 pm at Pick-Staiger Hall, 50 Arts Circle Drive in Evanston.

$10 Off Tickets to The Civility of Albert Cashier

The Civility of Albert Cashier is a world-premiere musical based on the astonishing true story of a Civil War soldier whose life defied definition. From fighting valiantly in more than 40 engagements to a final battle with dementia, the story recounts the heroic life of Albert Cashier, who was born Jennifer Hodgers.

Tickets are available through October 15 performances at Stage 773 at 1333 W. Belmont Avenue in Chicago.

To redeem this special offer, WTTW mem-bers can use code WTTW to purchase tickets at albertcashierthemusical.com. Limit four tickets per order. Not applicable with other discounts or on previously purchased tickets. Additional fees may apply. Based on availability.

2-for-1 Tickets to The House of Bernarda AlbaThe Saint Sebastian Players (SSP) open the company’s 37th season with the powerful drama The House

of Bernarda Alba by Federico Garcia Lorca. In this great modern Spanish tragedy, Bernarda is a stern matriarch obsessed with family honor. Just widowed, she an-nounces to her five daughters that they will enter a traditional eight-year period of cloistered mourning. Each daughter desires love, but with the doors clamped shut, they silently turn to other pursuits – except one, who pursues an affair with the betrothed of the eldest daughter. Discovery results in a tragic climax that is unrelenting in its severity and terror. Director Kaitlin Taylor is incorporating flamenco movement and Riot Grrrl musical influ-ences into her interpretation of the script.

Performances are October 20 through November 12, Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 pm and Sundays at 2:00 pm at St. Bonaventure, 1625 W. Diversey in Chicago. Post-show discussions with cast and production team members take place following the October 29 and November 5 matinees. WTTW members may purchase two full-price tickets for the price of one, subject to availability, by sending an email to [email protected] and mentioning WTTW. For in-formation visit saintsebastianplayers.org. Free parking is available in two lots.

2-for-1 Tickets to Reggie Wilson/Fist and Heel Performance GroupThe 44th season of Dance Center of Columbia College Chicago features the return of Reggie Wilson/

Fist and Heel Performance Group. Choreographer Wilson’s new work Citizen questions what it means to belong and what it means to not want to belong, inspired by the histories of iconic African Americans who

faced prevalent contradictions and irony connected to indi-viduality, anonymity, freedom, and dignity in relation to their civic duties. A provocative dialogue emerges through a series of five intricately woven solos, layered with haunting footage that suspends time and place. Wilson, whose postmodern work embodies elements of blues, folk, and African Diaspora cultures, works down to the marrow in Citizen, exposing isolation and the ways in which we make space for our com-munities and countries without sacrificing the authentic sense of self and the legacies of our diverse cultural identities.

Performances are October 12 through 14 at 7:30 pm at the Dance Center, 1306 S. Michigan Avenue in Chicago. WTTW members may purchase two tickets for the price of one, subject to availability, for any performance by calling (312) 369-8330 and using the code 27278.

Live from Lincoln Center: FalsettosNominated for five 2017 Tony Awards, including Best Revival of a Musical, Falsettos is a hilarious and poignant look at middle-class family dynamics revolving around the life of a gay man, his wife, his lover, his soon to be bar mitzvahed son, their psychiatrist, and the lesbians next door. With its razor-sharp portrait of a “modern family” in the making, this timely musical manages to remain buoyant and satirically perceptive even as it moves towards its heartbreaking conclusion. Lincoln Center Theater’s production stars Christian Borle, Stephanie J. Block, Andrew Rannells, and Brandon Uranowitz, all of whom received Tony nominations for their respective performances.

Denis O’Hare as Edgar Allan Poe

Edgar Allan Poe: American MastersHis name conjures up images of premature burial, black cats, forbidden crypts, and crumbling old houses where terrifying secrets dwell. Almost one hundred and fifty years after his death, Edgar Allan Poe’s prose and poetry continue to frighten, influence and inspire writers, composers, artists, poets, and readers all over the world. Despite the very small amount of recognition he received during his lifetime, Poe is today considered one of America’s greatest writers. Written and directed by Eric Stange (The War That Made America, American Experience: Murder at Harvard), this new documentary draws on the rich palette of Poe’s evocative imagery and sharply drawn plots to tell the real story of the notorious author. Starring Tony Award-winning and Emmy-nominated actor Denis O’Hare (This Is Us, American Horror Story, Take Me Out) and narrated by Oscar- and Tony-nominated two-time Golden Globe-winner Kathleen Turner, this film explores the misrepresentations of Poe as a drug-addled madman akin to the narrators of his horror stories.

From the San Francisco SymphonyWith a rousing performance of Respighi’s Feste Romane, music director Michael Tilson Thomas leads off another 13-week radio season for the San Francisco Symphony, which he has captained since 1995. This inaugural program also features keyboard sensation Daniil Trifonov playing Chopin’s Piano Concerto #2, plus Ravel, Rossini, and Strauss. Tilson Thomas, currently the longest-tenured music director of any major American orchestra, has often been singled out for his innovative symphonic programming, for spotlighting American composers, and for bringing new audiences to the orchestra’s home, Davies Symphony Hall. The concerts are hosted by Rik Malone, who for week two will bring us new music by the Los Angeles-based composer-singer-bandleader Ted Hearne, plus Barber’s Knoxville and Tchaikovsky’s Pathétique Symphony. A Mozart-Haydn-Schubert concert will be led by pianist-conductor Andras Schiff, and then MTT is back with a Sibelius-Schumann pairing. Later in the fall, look for music by Stravinsky, John Adams, and Mason Bates, plus Mahler’s Second Symphony and Das Lied von der Erde.

Artists-in-Residence: The Kontras QuartetWFMT’s new artists-in-residence are the members of the Kontras Quartet: violinists Dmitri Pogorelov and François Henkins, violist Ben Weber, and cellist Jean Hatmaker. During most of October and November, and into early December, they’ll make contributions to Carl Grapentine’s weekday morning programs and Candice Agree’s late afternoons, by exploring the folk roots of classical music. They’ll follow different composers’ journeys through the folkloric cultures that inspired them to compose. Included in their plans are a week devoted to Bartok’s folk-music research in Eastern Europe, another to Villa-Lobos’ similar research in Brazil, and another to Copland in the American Southwest.

Monday-Friday, 9:05 am and 6:00 pm

Rigoletto at Lyric OperaLyric Opera’s fall presentation of Rigoletto will star two stellar alumni of the Ryan Opera Center: tenor Matthew Polenzani as the Duke of Mantua, and baritone Quinn Kelsey in the title role. Opera News had this to say about Kelsey’s portrayal of Rigoletto: “[It’s] not just the size of his voice or the finish of his technique, although both are impressive. It’s his heart. You hear the pain behind the anger…vulnerability is evident in every phrase.” Soprano Rosa Feola will make her Lyric debut in the role of Gilda, the conductor is Marco Armiliato, and WFMT’s live opening-night broadcast will be co-hosted by Lisa Flynn and Roger Pines.

He has appeared internationally as a soloist with orchestras, and has performed as a chamber musician at the Aspen Festival and with the touring Musicians from Marlboro ensemble. He’s been a frequent soloist with the CSO and has given the Chicago premieres of concertos by Elliott Carter, György Ligeti, and Witold Lutoslawski, as well as an Augusta Read Thomas world premiere.

In the Spotlight

Muti, the CSO, Verdi, and ShakespeareLast year, in the midst of the ongoing Shakespeare 400 observances, music director Riccardo Muti led the Chicago Symphony, CSO Chorus, and a stellar cast in a concert performance of Verdi’s final opera, his comedy Falstaff, based on the multi-faceted character who appears in Henry IV, Henry V, and The Merry Wives of Windsor. The performance was the final installment of Muti’s three-pronged Verdi-Shakespeare presentation in Chicago, which brought Symphony Center audiences Otello in 2011 and Macbeth in 2013. Starring as Sir John Falstaff was baritone Ambrogio Maestri, who has sung the role all over the world, having portrayed it for the first time in 2001 at La Scala, under Muti’s direction. Also starring were baritone Luca Salsi as Ford and Rosa Feola as Nannetta. So if you missed it at Symphony Center, or would like to relive it, join us for this critically acclaimed addition to Chicago’s 2016 Shakespeare celebration.

Carl Grapentine Celebrates Luther and MusicOn October 31, 1517, five hundred years ago this month, a German monk named Martin Luther nailed to the door of All Saints’ Church in Wittenberg a list of 95 theological objections to current practices in the Roman Catholic Church. Known as Luther’s 95 Theses, the document and the gesture are traditionally considered to be the start of the Reformation, when parts of the European population broke away from Catholocism and formed Protestant churches. The church Luther founded, named for him and still known as the Lutheran Church, placed special emphasis upon music as an integral part of congregational worship, and some 200 years after Luther, a composer from that denomination, created an astonishing body of sacred music: chorales for organ and for choir, Passion stories, and choral cantatas. His name was Johann Sebastian Bach. WFMT’s Carl Grapentine, a Bach devotee and expert, will remember the turbulent time of the Reformation by examining its musical component, and showing that musical legacy throughout five centuries.

Bill McGlaughlin à la françaiseMcGlaughlin, host of Exploring Music, calls the famous French group known as Les Six an historical accident: composers considered as a group who didn’t really have that much in common. For an October week of Exploring Music, he’s going back to a previous generation of French composers who were also stylistically varied, but who did have in common a heritage of French Romanticism from the earlier decades of the 19th century. He’s chosen a group he calls Les Cinq Plus, or Five Plus: Emmanuel Chabrier, Ernest Chausson, Paul Dukas, Henri Duparc, and Jules Massenet, with Erik Satie as the extra. All active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Les Cinq Plus will be represented by symphonic and operatic excerpts, chamber pieces, and songs.
