W TA FocusThe offi cial end of summer in late September may leave some wistful, but seasonal change has its benefi ts. Among them are the new fall program offerings in store for you on WETA television and radio broadcasts. This month on WETA TV 26 and WETA HD, we feature a new season of mystery series Inspector Lewis and more on Masterpiece; new episodes in the WETA-affi liated series MAKERS, spotlighting groundbreaking American women; a new season of the documentary fi lm series Independent Lens, kicking off with the powerful production, Bully; and new episodes of Henry Louis Gates Jr.’s engaging heritage series Finding Your Roots and the perennial public television favorite, Antiques Roadshow. On Wednesday nights this month — devoted to science, nature and technology programming — WETA broadcasts the new, six-part popular science miniseries How We Got to Now and new productions from the acclaimed programs Nature and NOVA.

In October on Classical WETA 90.9 FM, among our presentations of sublime music, we feature the National Symphony Orchestra’s 2014 Season Opening Ball Concert — in anticipation of the new season of our monthly local production, NSO Showcase, which spotlights dazzling performances by the distinguished ensemble. See the highlight below for details. There is much to look forward to on WETA’s air — sample what we have to offer this month, and stay tuned throughout the fall. We have more superb programming in the works!

The 2014 National Symphony Orchestra Season Opening Ball Concert promises to be a glittering affair, and you’re invited! Christoph Eschenbach will launch his fi fth season as NSO music director with the able assistance of superstar violinist Joshua Bell and Broadway favorite, soprano Kelli O’Hara. The effervescent Overture to Bernstein’s Candide opens this French-themed gala, with Bell performing Saint-Saëns’ Introduction and Rondo capriccioso and Ravel’s Tzigane. The joyous La Valse, also by Ravel, brings the program to a sparkling close.

To showcase the NSO’s versatility, Principal Pops Conductor Steven Reineke will take the podium, and O’Hara will delight us with her rendition of La Vie en rose and Bernstein’s “Glitter and Be Gay”!

So join us on Classical WETA 90.9 FM on Wednesday morning, October 1 at 11 a.m. as we bring you all the brilliance of the National Symphony Orchestra 2014 Season Opening Ball Concert (formal attire is entirely optional). This concert will be the prelude to our new season of Classical WETA NSO Showcase monthly broadcasts, the fi rst of

which will air Wednesday, November 5 at 9 p.m. Concertmaster Nurit Bar-Josef will take the spotlight in Mozart’s Concerto No. 4. Elgar’s In the South Overture and Brahms’ First Symphony will complete this magnifi cent program. Here’s to another stellar season with the National Symphony Orchestra on Classical WETA!

The series focuses on the last half-century, during which women have fought their way into nearly every sphere of American life, from the battlefi eld to the comedy club, the soundstage to the Senate. In each program, MAKERSfeatures interviews with trailblazing women, offering a glimpse of what it was like to be pioneers in their fi elds.

Royals Specials on WETA TV 26 & WETA HDBorn to Royalty airs Thursday, October 2 at 9:30 p.m.

Diana vs. The Queen airs Thursday, October 9 at 9:30 p.m.The Queen’s Mother-in-Law airs Thursday, October 9 at 10:30 p.m.

Our Queen airs Thursday, October 16 at 9:30 p.m.

WETA presents an array of fi lms in October that spotlight Britain’s royals, featuring several new fi lms about the extended family. Diana vs. The Queen (October 9) chronicles the troubled relationship between Queen Elizabeth II and her daugh-ter-in-law, Diana. The documentary explores the two women’s tense relation-ship from its beginning, through the royal wedding and Diana’s emergence as a global superstar. Following Diana vs. The Queen is The Queen’s Mother-in-Law (October 9), spotlighting the little-known British royal, Princess Alice of Battenberg. A great granddaughter of Queen Victoria, Princess Alice mar-ried into the Greek royal family — only to see the monarchy overthrown by revolution. She was driven into exile, suffering a severe breakdown. The fi lm explores her remarkable life and its impact on her only son, Prince Philip, husband of Queen Elizabeth II.

Also this month is Born to Royalty (October 2), a reprised program that examines what lies in store for the new heir to Britain’s throne, young Prince George of Cambridge, the fi rst child of Britain’s Prince William and Kate Middleton, Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. The fi lm explores the childhoods and parenting of members of Britain’s royal family, chronicling the changes across recent generations.

Our Queen (October 16) presents a portrait of Queen Elizabeth, charting her life during her Diamond Jubilee year marking the 60th anniversary of her accession to the throne. Also airing this month is The Royal Paintbox (October 3, 8:30 p.m.), a program in which His Royal Highness, Charles, Prince of Wales, explores a trove of rarely seen art created by members of the royal family, past and present.

October Highlights

October Films on WETA TV 26 & WETA HDP.O.V.: The Act of Killing airs Monday,

October 6 at 10 p.m.Independent Lens: Bully airs Monday,

October 13 at 10 p.m.In addition to fi lms on the Saturday night WETA Movie — which this month features musicals An American in Paris (Oct. 4), The Music Man (Oct. 11), Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (Oct. 18) and That’s Entertainment II (Oct. 25) — WETA also presents independent fi lms on Monday nights. Among them are two powerful documentaries: The Act of Killing (at left, October 6) on the series P.O.V., and Bully (October 13) on Independent Lens. The Act of Killing, nominated for an Academy Award, explores a horrifying era in Indonesian history and provides a window into modern Indonesia, in

which the 1965 murder of an estimated one million people is honored as a patriotic act and the killers remain in power. In this acclaimed 2012 fi lm, former death-squad leaders dramatize their deeds, and as their heroic facade crumbles, they come to question what they’ve done. Airing the following week, the fi lm Bully highlights the challenges faced by bullied kids, offering an unfl inching look at the effects of bullying on the lives of fi ve children and their families. The 2011 documentary shows teachers and parents addressing aggressive behaviors that defy dismissal with “kids will be kids” clichés and captures a growing movement to change the ways to address bullying in schools.

Mstislav Rostropovich, when speaking about his deep respect for musicians, always put composers fi rst. Said Slava — the endearing nickname by which he was known around the world and during his tenure as NSO music director here in Washington — it is the composer who not only expresses him or herself in music but does so by creating from nothing. That awe-inspiring — even daunt-ing — task is illustrated on Choral Showcase this month on October 26, when we re-create the program on which composer Jennifer Higdon’s work On the Death of the Righteous was premiered.

Higdon was asked to write a work for the 20th anniver-sary of Alan Harler’s music directorship of the Mendelssohn Club of Philadelphia (Harler became the group’s 12th music director in 1988 and artistic director in 2009). The program was to include Verdi’s Requiem along with Higdon’s new piece, so before committing a single note to paper she was immediately focused on the need to create a work that matched the Verdi in weight and mood. I believe you’ll agree that Higdon’s piece is a great success in that ambitious goal.

Verdi’s masterpiece was written for Alessandro Manzoni, a 19th-century Italian poet whom Verdi admired (and the reason the work is at times called the Manzoni Requiem).

Higdon’s piece, written for all of us, focuses on equality in death. The text is a sermon by the English poet and cleric John Donne (1572–1631) and eloquently speaks of that equality: “No noise, nor silence, but one equal music. No foes nor friends, but one equal communion. No ends nor beginnings, but one equal eternity.”

Maestro Harler conducts the Higdon on the October 26 broadcast of Choral Showcase; Valery Gergiev conducts the Verdi. We’ve also scheduled Bach’s Cantata, “The Light Shall Ever Rise Again for the Righteous,” conducted by Helmut Rilling.

Choral Showcase begins the month with another work relying on text from long ago: The piece on October 5 is Rachmaninoff’s Russian setting of the Divine Liturgy of Saint John Chrysostom. John was an important 4th-century church father, an Archbishop of Constantinople. A lasting legacy of John’s was the revision of the prayers of the Di-vine Liturgy, still important today in the Eastern Orthodox and Eastern Catholic churches — and providing the text for Rachmaninoff’s compelling work. It is performed by the Choir of King’s College Cambridge conducted by Stephen Cleobury.

Classical WETA 90.9 FM Celebrates RameauThroughout October, Classical WETA 90.9 FM and WETA’s all-vocal classical music channel VivaLaVoce celebrate the music of the great French composer Jean-Philippe Rameau in recognition of the 250th anniversary of his death (in September 1764). High-lights of the celebration include Opera at 8 features on VivaLaVoce that are taken from the Erato label’s new 27-CD box set of Rameau operas performed by some of the biggest names in baroque music practice (including Christie, Gardiner, Harnoncourt, McGegan and Minkowski). Erato notes: “The Dijon-born organist and theorist was a classic late-bloomer, penning his fi rst opera, Hippolyte et Aricie, at the age of 50 in 1733. Yet he had a gift for the theatrical, and went on to write some of the most vibrant, astonishing music of the 18th century.” Also among the celebration programming is a spotlight on Rameau’s keyboard works, as interpreted by pianist Marcelle Meyer in an Erato re-release of her 1954 recording, which has achieved legendary status among piano music fans and con-tributed to reviving Baroque keyboard music. Also in October, “Classical Conversations” features focus on Rameau and the October performances of his music by Opera Lafayette and Levine Music in Greater Washington. For more details about Classical WETA’s celebration of Rameau, visit classicalweta.org and VivaLaVoce.org.

Local Performances on Front Row Washington

By Deborah Lamberton, Senior Producer

Imagine you’re a 17-year-old cellist ready to record your very fi rst CD of concertos. Could you get James Levine and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra to back you up? You could if your name is Matt Haimovitz! Hear this cel-ebrated cellist in recital at Dumbarton Concerts as Classical WETA 90.9 FM’s local concert broadcast Front Row Washington kicks off the month Monday night, October 6 at 9 p.m. Known for bringing Bach’s solo cello suites out of the concert hall and into pubs and clubs across Canada, Britain and the United States, Haimovitz performs the fi rst three suites in his intimate solo recital recorded last January at Georgetown’s historic Dumbarton Church.

On Monday night, October 13, we head to Columbia, Maryland, for the Dover Quartet’s Candlelight Concert Society Chamber Series recital. The fi rst-ever “Quartet-in-Residence” at the Curtis Institute of Music, the Dover Quartet performs Haydn’s “Sunrise” and Shostakovich’s third quartet, as well as the world premiere of a new string quartet written for them by American composer and Curtis Institute professor Eric Sessler.

Any up-and-coming pianist would love to be described by The New York Times as having “jaw-dropping technique and virtuosity meshed with a distinctive musicality,” but in the case of Charlie Albright, piano wasn’t his only vocational choice. In 2011, he earned his Bachelor’s degree in Pre-Med and Economics from Harvard. Still, he stuck to the keyboard, studied piano at New England Conservatory, and this year received the prestigious Avery Fisher Career Grant. Albright performs Beethoven’s Piano Sonata Op. 110 and Chopin’s 12 Études, Op. 25 in a Phillips Collection recital Monday night, October 20 at 9 p.m. Stick around for the encore: Arkadi Volodos’ transcription of Mozart’s Turkish March — three and a half minutes of pianistic mayhem!

The broadcast wraps up the month at the Kreeger Museum’s annual June Chamber Festival, featuring Miles Hoffman and the American Chamber Players. In addition to Brahms’ D Minor Sonata for Violin and Piano, long-

time National Symphony Orchestra principal clarinetist Loren Kitt offers a mesmerizing performance of Max Bruch’s Eight Pieces for Clarinet, Viola and Piano. Then, cellist Stephen Balderston and pianist Reiko Uchida perform Max Raimi’s variations on the Yiddish song “Eyn Mol.” A longtime violist with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Raimi composed his set of variations in tribute to the Schtetl life of his Polish grandparents, illustrating the link that music makes between the old country and his family’s Shabbos dinners in their new American home.
