Meet Your Host:
Ed Amend
Home Sweet Home.................2
How long have you been an announcer
at WCPE, and what attracted you to The
Classical Station? 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.

Great Classical Music
Because of You!
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

fall highlights

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. Make your tax-deductible gift
at theclassicalstation.org, or mail it to
WCPE Radio, PO Box 897, Wake Forest,
NC 27588.
Great Nicknames Weekend
November 7–8
What’s the story behind Haydn’s Farewell
Symphony and Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata?
Join WCPE for a weekend full of colorful
musical works with intriguing names.
Thanksgiving Day/New World
Weekend
November 26–29
Celebrate home and family with Classical
favorites chosen to provide a beautiful
accompaniment to your Thanksgiving gathering. The weekend that follows is filled with
the best offerings of American composers
and performers.
All-Request Fridays
September 25 and
November 27
You’re the music director, from
9:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
Eastern Time. Submit your
advance requests at
theclassicalstation.org,
or call WCPE at
919.556.0123 on the
morning of the
request program.
October 10–11
Let the music take you away to beautiful and
enchanting places, from the Blue Danube to
the Grand Canyon, the canals of Venice, the
courtyards of the Alhambra, and an English
country garden.
Thank you again!

Kidznotes Classics returns to WCPE this fall!
Based on Venezuela’s successful El Sistema
program, Kidznotes is a music program that
inspires social change for its students and
community in Durham and Raleigh, North
Carolina. In this second annual edition of
Kidznotes Classics, students in grades 5
through 9 will share favorite Classical works
and reflect on the rewarding experiences
that their musical education has offered.
Kidznotes Classics airs Monday, September
21, at 7:00 p.m. ET and Sunday, September

Second Mondays at 7:00 p.m.

With host George Douglas
Renaissance Fare in September will feature music from the Elizabethan period
in England. 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. If Columbus had had
an iPod for the long journey, what kind
of music would he have been listening to?
We’ll listen to music from the times of
Christopher Columbus, during the early
stages of Renaissance Music. 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.

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. Be sure to listen each week as
we spotlight the world’s best orchestras on
Monday Night at the Symphony.

Every week, WCPE showcases the
best works of modern composers on
Wavelengths, our Sunday evening program
of new music. We feature works written
from 1950 to the present, with a strong
focus on the 21st century. But we also reach
farther back into the 20th century to present
important compositions that have helped
pave the way for today’s music.
Wavelengths depends upon financial support
from listeners. Please make your tax-deductible gift online at theclassicalstation.org.

I am deeply touched by the support we’ve
received from our donors for the WCPE
Education Fund. 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.

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.

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

But take that unique relationship and mix in
some prodigious creative talent, and you have
the makings of a dynasty.
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

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.

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.

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

I love to start my day with Rise and Shine

Thank you for such great programming!

I love being able to hear great Classical music
anytime, day or night. I especially like Sing

never have to wonder whether it’s time to

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! (Patrick in Liberec, Czech Republic)

Run largely by volunteers, WCPE has steadily expanded and innovated.
WCPE’s FM simulcasts meant that one could watch the Met telecasts without
sacrificing high-quality audio. An early entrant into Internet broadcasting,
WCPE became a worldwide source of Classical music round the clock and put
central North Carolina at the center of the virtual music world. “WCPE has
nourished my career as a UNC epidemiology faculty member and my life and
my family’s well-being. Thank you, WCPE!”

“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.
