I started training this past January. I used to listen to WCPE while driving home from work (now I work from home and travel occasionally); then I realized the tower was in my “backyard.” September Calendar................4 What is your favorite genre of music? Who are some of your favorite composers and artists? There is very little music I don’t like. I love Classical, country, classic rock, pop. My favorite Classical genre would be the Romantic Period. Kidznotes Classics.....................7 Do you have a background in music performance? Yes, I played trombone in high school. This included concert band and marching band. On the marching band field I would play a bass trombone. An exciting event from this time period include the fact that I (along with my high school band in Old Tappan, NJ) played the half time show for a NY Giants Game in 1978. Is there anything else you’d like your listeners to know about you? I grew up in New Jersey, with roots in New York City. I am one of nine children. I volunteer at my church, St. Catherine’s, helping people get jobs by improving their interview skills.

Labor Day Weekend September 4–7 We’ll play lots of your Classical favorites for the last holiday weekend of summer, culminating on Labor Day, September 7. First, a big “thank you!” First, let me give you a big “thank you” for helping us with your summertime donation. Summer is typically a slow time of the year for donations to community radio stations like WCPE Radio, The Classical Station. I truly appreciate all the support you and other listeners gave to us. Patriot Day September 11 Music of reflection and remembrance at various times through the day. Rosh Hashanah You and many others helped us on our 37th birthday, celebrated on July 18. We held a mini-festival from the Friday before that through the Sunday after. Thank you very much for giving the station a birthday gift on one of those three days. I really do appreciate your wonderful and especially longstanding support. Many donors are deciding to become sustaining members by giving us a set amount every month. They give $5, $10, $15, and more every month. I can’t tell you often enough how being a sustaining member helps the station—because I can count on your donation every month when I’m paying the bills. I know your gift will be coming in, and it makes my job so much easier because I know I can count on you. Every month, I have to cover $151,900 in operating costs, and you make it easier to meet that big number. So let me tell you again: thank you very, very much! Let’s move on to the fall membership drive and what our overall goal is: From September 1 through December 31, we need to raise not only four times $151,900—but we have to exceed that because the months of January and February and the first half of March are really financially slow. I have to be ready for that. We hold our silent fundraiser through the mail during the month of September, and then again during the month of December. During these two months, donors like you answer my several fundraising request letters, and you really come through for us. You help us through both the mail and the web site giving page. But one important thing is missing: I don’t have the addresses of the newest listeners, and they haven’t decided to 2 e fall highlights Sunset, September 13 Yom Kippur Sunset, September 22 Deborah S. Proctor General Manager become supporters because they don’t know how important they are. So we need to hold a fall drive over the air, to tell these folks about us and to encourage them to make their first gift. We’ve found that the best time to hold this fall “Help!” drive is during the last week of October. As I write this, I don’t have a goal to give you, because I can’t predict how much the silent fundraiser will yield. However, I can tell you that, historically, half of our gifts come in during the last four months of the year, so this is an important time for us. Sometimes we need to have a mini-drive at the end of December to meet our financial obligations. Donors come through for us, and I squirrel away the funds which we don’t need immediately for the months later in the year that are traditionally slow. Keep up the good work telling your friends about us! Remember that no matter where they live, if your friends like Great Classical Music, they can hear it on theclassicalstation.org. You are wonderful! Special music to mark the beginning of Rosh Hashana (the Jewish New Year) and Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement). The programs air at 6:00 p.m. ET on each day, with encore airings to be announced. Brothers and Sisters September 14 We’ll celebrate the birthday of composer Michael Haydn (Franz Josef ’s younger brother) and feature other notable siblings in Classical music: Gil and Orli Shaham performing together and separately, Mari and Hakon Samuelsen, the Ying Quartet, the Claremont Trio, and the brothers Contiguglia, among others. Great Ballet Days September 17–20 Complete musical performances of some of your favorite ballets, including Tchaikovsky’s Sleeping Beauty and Delibes’s Coppélia, plus selected ballet highlights each day. Armchair Travelers Weekend WCPE’s Fall Membership Drive October 23–November 1 Thank you for your generous financial support, which enables WCPE to share Great Classical Music with listeners everywhere.

The great musical renaissance started a little later in England than in Italy and other parts of mainland Europe, but the music caught on very fast, and the period created many famous composers. We’ll listen to music of John Dowland, Anthony Holborne, and many others played on the most popular instruments of this period. The program airs on Monday, September 14, at 7:00 p.m., with a repeat broadcast on Sunday, September 20, at 5:00 p.m. (all times Eastern). opera house In October, we celebrate the discovery of America in 1492.

Listen on Monday, October 12, at 7:00 p.m., with a repeat broadcast on Sunday, October 18, at 5:00 p.m. After October’s program, it seems only natural to listen to music the pilgrims would have been listening to when they landed at Jamestown, Virginia, in 1607. We’ll hear how the music changed from the late 15th to the early 17th centuries. This edition of Renaissance Fare will be heard on Monday, November 9, at 7:00 p.m., with a repeat broadcast on Sunday, November 15, at 5:00 p.m. Listen to Renaissance Fare on the second Monday of each month on WCPE, The Classical Station, with a repeat broadcast on the following Sunday at 5:00 p.m. September By William Woltz Mondays at 8:00 p.m. (Eastern) Each week we spend two hours featuring one great orchestra on Monday Night at the Symphony. Whenever possible, we like to showcase what the orchestra is doing today, with its current music director or a great guest conductor. But we also search our ever-growing music library for classic performances, some of which have never been heard before on WCPE. As always, it is your financial support that makes this possible, and for that we are very grateful.

Together, we are sending a clear message about the value we place upon music education and the importance of building a stable future for the arts in North Carolina. This summer, WCPE awarded five grants totaling more than $8,000, reaffirming our commitment to increasing access to Classical music education in North Carolina. Grant recipients include North Carolina Chamber Music Institute, Wake Forest Community Youth Orchestra, Community Music School, Chamber Music Raleigh, and Raleigh Concert Band. Funding for Wake Forest Community Youth Orchestra, a strings program now entering its second year, will provide printed music, new instruments, and tuition assistance to students from low-income families and families experiencing financial hardship. North Carolina Chamber Music Institute connects student musicians with top musical coaches in the area. Each student participates in a quartet or quintet, performing several times throughout the year in recitals and outreach concerts. A chamber ensemble will be named in honor of WCPE for the 2015–16 season. The Community Music School provides weekly music lessons at the price of one dollar per lesson to children from low-income families. A grant from the WCPE Education Fund will allow the school to provide highquality music education to more students at this affordable rate. Chamber Music Raleigh, formerly known as the Raleigh Chamber Music Guild, will add outreach concerts to its programming in the 2015–16 season, making use of its resident ensemble, Oak City String Quartet, which comprises members of the North Carolina Symphony. A grant from the WCPE Education Fund will support family concerts at various Wake County public library branches targeting young families. Oak City String Quartet will work with students at Community Music School several times on Saturday mornings this season. Finally, a grant to Raleigh Concert Band, a recreational and educational adult ensemble, will purchase music and provide funding for concert venues in the 2015–16 season. To learn more about these grants, visit theclassicalstation.org/education. q In Memoriam WCPE mourns the loss of volunteer John Erhardt of Raleigh, who passed away on April 29, and volunteer Bob Hudson of Clayton, who passed away on June 5. John was a regular Friday volunteer at the reception desk for the last four years and had recently trained as a fundraiser phone-room supervisor. Bob had been a weekly Tuesday morning volunteer for seven years, helping to pack and mail thank-you gifts. We extend our condolences to John’s wife, Lil Erhardt, and Bob’s wife, Carol Hudson. Both gentlemen will be missed by all of us at WCPE. 26 e lately we’ve read That Iron String By Jack Kohl Pauktaug Press; 258 pages A review by R.C. Speck Life in the shadow of his virtuoso cousin Boston was never too bad for Portsmouth… as long as he managed his expectations. Against the serene backdrop of Pauktaug, a fictional waterside village on Long Island, That Iron String, by author Jack Kohl, tells the story of two Classical pianist cousins as they prepare for a prestigious piano competition in New York City. Portsmouth and Boston are named after port cities because of the tragic circumstances of their arrival in Long Island. Their parents were taking them as unnamed newborns from Connecticut to Long Island by boat to show them off to family. Mysteriously, the parents died on the trip, but the boys did not. For all anyone knows, they could be brothers. As they grew up, they found they approached their art from different perspectives: Boston from innate mastery and perfection, and Portsmouth from constant striving and practice. Portsmouth seems as though he has the steeper climb, but through a series of letters from Boston, we discover that that may not be the case. While living on the west coast, Boston found that his performances had been sliding a bit, and he’s not sure why. He’s due home in Pauktaug any day now to begin his preparations for the competition but seems strangely unhurried and uncommunicative. Part mystery, part coming-of-age story, That Iron String explores the psychological terrain that dedicated musicians must traverse in order to perform on the highest levels. It also offers an unadorned look at the egos and politics one has to deal with in the world of Classical music. Most importantly, it provides powerful insight on how artists must position themselves vis-à-vis the big aesthetic concepts of Truth and Beauty. There is a lot of that in Boston’s letters, which provide just about the only glimpse of this enigmatic character until perhaps twothirds into the novel. Resigned to coming in no better than second, Portsmouth practices diligently in the home of his aunt and uncle. They run a funeral home. Their home is the funeral home. So this complicates Portsmouth’s preparations. So does the appearance of Lana, an old high school flame. This new distraction really is the last thing Portsmouth needs. Yet his playing seems to improve as previously dormant passions are aroused by his rekindled relationship with Lana. He’s discovering things about his playing that he never knew before. Will Portsmouth’s newfound artistry be enough to trump the invincible genius of the returning prodigy Boston? Or will Boston overcome his complex demons and reclaim his position as the nation’s premier young pianist? These, in the end, are only some of the things Jack Kohl invites us to contemplate while reading That Iron String. q Why not renew your membership…as a sustainer?

The modern landscape of Classical music teems with siblings following in the footsteps of Fanny and Felix Mendelsohn and the Strauss brothers. Today’s sibling collaborations run the gamut—from exclusive partnerships to pursuing individual careers and collaborating on special projects. Speaking of string-playing siblings, tune in on September 14 at 8 p.m. as Monday Night at the Symphony features Norwegian sister/ brother duo Mari and Hakon Samuelsen, playing the late James Horner’s Pas de Deux, Double Concerto for Violin and Cello. The piece premiered in 2014 for the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra’s 175th anniversary; it’s one of Horner’s final completed works. Don’t miss the Ying Quartet (boasting three of the founding Ying siblings) with pianist Adam Neiman, playing Anton Arensky’s Piano Quintet in D at 7:30 p.m. on September 14. And be sure to listen for solo pieces and collaborations by pianist Orli Shaham and her brother, violinist Gil. These award-winning siblings have their own stellar careers, but 28 Gil Shaham Bryn Terfel Meat Loaf at the Met? Terfel turns 50! By Bob Chapman Mari and Hakon Samuelsen photo: Todd Matarazzo Together literally all their lives, identical twins Richard and John Contiguglia are the most famous duo-pianists playing today. Making their world debut in 1962, they’ve spent their joint career bringing oft-forgotten duo-piano pieces back into the limelight. And since 1999, twin sisters Emily and Julia Bruskin (violin and cello) have collaborated with pianist and fellow Juilliard alumna Andrea Lam as the award-winning Claremont Trio. Orli Shaham Richard and John Contiguglia photo: DG Adam Barker Anyone with a brother or sister can tell you: the sibling relationship is delicate, equal parts fraught and rewarding. If they’re too far apart, siblings can feel like strangers; too close, and the competition can be fierce. Spend five minutes in a car with two kids in their “I’m telling Mom!” phase, and you can attest to the high emotions and singular energy that exist between siblings. photo: Luke Ratray photo: National Gallery, London Sibling Revelry photo: Christian Steine on the cover The Ying Quartet they’ve recorded several acclaimed albums together. Is it coincidence? Genetics? Their parents’ attitudes, or just good old-fashioned sibling rivalry? Whatever the cause might be, when musical greatness runs in families, we are the beneficiaries—and we can only hope that their artistry inspires a sister somewhere to stop poking her brother, and likewise get her brother to stop stealing her favorite bear. Otherwise, I’m telling Mom. q Bryn Terfel continues to seek new artistic challenges. One of the few non-tenor male opera singers to have achieved worldwide fame, the Welsh bass-baritone took on the role of Tevye, Russian-Jewish peasant farmer, in Fiddler on the Roof in the U.K. last summer, following a triumphant run of Sweeney Todds in New York and London. Born Bryn Terfel Jones on November 9, 1965, in Pant Glas, Caernarfonshire, Wales, he dropped the Jones surname at the beginning of his professional career so as not to be confused with a baritone named Bryn Jones. At first, says Terfel, he was more drawn to popular music than to Classical, and as a young student at the Guildhall School of Music in London, he often went to Pink Floyd concerts. American fans sometimes compare him to Meat Loaf, whom he physically resembles. His introduction to opera was a Covent Garden production of Verdi’s Otello with Plácido Domingo as the tragic Moor. In 1989, Terfel won the Lieder Prize in the BBC Cardiff Singer of the World competition, and he made his professional operatic debut the following year as Guglielmo in Mozart’s Così Fan Tutte with the Welsh National Opera. For the past quarter century, Terfel has sung leading roles at the world’s greatest opera Bryn Terfel houses, including New York’s Metropolitan, Milan’s La Scala, London’s Covent Garden, and the Vienna State Opera. When he sang Mozart’s Figaro at the Met in 1994, The New York Times ran a front-page story about him. Terfel’s rich, warm, vibrant voice is capable of expressive pianissimos as well as roaring fortissimos. Along with major roles in operas by Mozart, Verdi, and Puccini, his repertory includes Nick Shadow (Stravinsky’s The Rake’s Progress), Offenbach’s four villains (Les Contes d’Hoffmann), and Wagner’s Wotan and Hans Sachs. Equally acclaimed as a song recitalist, particularly with Schubert and Mahler lieder, Terfel continues to champion British composers such as Delius, Vaughan Williams, Finzi, and Butterworth. No Classical snob, Terfel seems just as happy belting out Welsh ballads (with his compatriot Tom Jones) and Broadway showstoppers. On November 9, during the first hour of Music in the Night, Bryn Terfel will sing Ralph Vaughan Williams’s Songs of Travel, accompanied by pianist Malcolm Martineau. q 29 e classical community classical community WCPE salutes its business partners!

I also enjoy Great Sacred Music and all forms of early music. Thank you for such great programming! (John in Raleigh) I love being able to hear great Classical music anytime, day or night. I especially like Sing for Joy, Great Sacred Music, Rise and Shine with David Ballantyne, and the WCPE Opera House. (Karlyn in Cary) WCPE is my wake-up call. The radio is the first thing that goes on in the a.m. to 89.7. We are so grateful for your soothing, refreshing selection! Our hearts and souls thank you. (Ann and Fred in New Bern) Good morning, folks at WCPE! I’ve been a sustaining member for a number of years now. Such a great way to support WCPE—I never have to wonder whether it’s time to renew; I never feel guilty, thinking, “Have I donated recently? This year?” because I know it’s all taken care of. I love WCPE and listen virtually every day, sometimes all day. Keep up the great work! (Claudia) I live in Liberec, Czech Republic, more or less where Poland, Germany, and the Czech Republic share a border, and listen to you over the Internet. Impressed you can pronounce Dvořák’s name correctly! Keep up the great work!

WCPE streams on the Internet in Windows Media, MP3, and Ogg Vorbis at theclassicalstation.org/internet.shtml. “A gift that keeps on giving” is how Victor Schoenbach characterizes WCPE. A native of Baltimore, MD, and Brooklyn, NY, Victor lived in Cambridge, MA; New York City; and London, England, before moving to Carrboro, NC, in 1972. During his years as a graduate student in public health education at UNC, Vic and Marion Schoenbach there was no local public FM radio station until WUNC-FM began bringing news and Classical music to our community in 1976. WCPE’s launch in 1978, while he was an epidemiology doctoral student, greatly enriched the musical environment. Nine years later, when Victor’s family lured his mother Frances to Chapel Hill from New York City, WCPE was a key recruiting incentive. How could he have asked her to leave behind the Metropolitan Opera broadcasts that she listened to religiously every Saturday afternoon? WCPE gave her that and more, with year-round opera on the WCPE Opera House! During her latter years, WCPE was her constant companion. Fill out this form and send it to WCPE.
