State of the Station

Dear Members,

Thank you for supporting WFIU! As a new year is about to begin, we look forward to continuing our service to you and our communities.
Like so many around us, we experienced both highs and lows this past year. Your quick and generous response resulted in the most successful fund drive in WFIU's history; it even ended two days early. We made solid strides in programming, technology, and outreach. Our low point came in June, when an accounting change made by the State Board of Accounts contributed to a cut in our Corporation for Public Broadcasting grant of $50,000. This loss was unexpected and critical to our services.
In response, we trimmed our budget through a hiring freeze in news and music areas, eliminated salary increases for professional staff, and reduced operating expenditures. Programming was spared, with the exception of Marketplace which left our schedule briefly, only to be saved thanks to our friends at American Public Media. Unrelated to the cut in CPB funding, we also lost Talking History when its producing entity, the Organization of American Historians, lost its program funding. These tough experiences serve to remind us just how precarious funding is in public radio, and how important your individual and corporate support is to programming WFIU.
Congress took us on what has become an annual roller coaster ride of threats and partial restorations in federal funding. Your willingness to share your thoughts with your representatives carries weight, and softened these blows. There is no doubt that when it comes to federal funding for public broadcasting, representatives listen to their constituents. Though we still maintain uneasy support in Congress, industry leaders tell us that federal funding for public broadcasting will shrink in the future, as more and more causes claim the nation's budget. This prophesies a future in which public radio will need to find alternative sources of funding.
On the bright side, our award-winning news department produced a record number of stories, and we welcomed a new statehouse reporter based in Indianapolis. Funded through IPBS, a consortium of Indiana public radio and television stations, her reports increase our state news coverage. Several new music programs joined the schedule, including the popular Cantabile-a labor of love by our announcer, Robert Samels. As many of you know, Robert died in the April 20th plane accident that claimed the lives of four other IU students. Cantabile is archived on our Web site, and Robert's memory lives on through a fund seeded by his fellow workers and generously supported through contributions from many of you. New and exciting upcoming programs include Artworks, a weekly magazine focusing on local culture, as well as a series of programs exploring the Life Sciences.

Migration to digital technology brought us closer to achieving the secondary audio channel that will allow for two streams, one for music and the other for talk. Pending funding, this much-awaited dream is within reach. Responding to a growing audience that listens "on-demand," we created a rich radio archive library accessible to listeners anywhere in the world, and several of our programs are now available as podcasts. Federal grants awarded this year will help fund delivery of the WFIU signal to areas underserved by public radio-West Baden and Greensburg. And, we're working with NPR to install a new delivery system that will replace satellite. This will streamline our operation and make it easier for you to access information and listen to the programs you enjoy at any time.
Anticipating tight funding, WFIU and WTIU initiated a major gift and planned giving program that has grown to include the Future Fund as well as numerous other opportunities for philanthropic giving. These programs allow individuals to support WFIU and enjoy a variety of tax breaks and income streams. Some of you have invested in WFIU's growth through these programs, and we thank you for your generous support.
Despite obstacles, this has been an exciting year with much to be proud of. There was the "Iraqi National" story that won an award from the Society of Professional Journalists, the interviews with Alex Kerr and John Harbison, and the more than 2,000 announcements supporting learning and social services in our area. We cheered our WFIU-trained reporter broadcasting for NPR from Indonesia, and we sent one of our brightest junior reporters to Washington for an internship at NPR. This summer we shared our public radio mission and values with a group of Ukrainian broadcasters who were both baffled and intrigued by the concept of a radio station that exists to serve the public and that builds a community of dedicated listeners and supporters. The list is diverse and endless. It has a common thread, though-to touch and teach, to inspire, and to truly make a difference to individuals. This thread has grown over the years into a national fabric that binds individuals who share common values of critical thinking and an appreciation of culture. It's heartening to see the emergence of a public radio culture that adds a touch of levity to our national discourse.
But returning to the task at hand, we have a tough challenge ahead of us-to overcome the CPB shortfall and sustain the services that enrich our communities for the next year and into the future. Quite frankly, we need your help more crucially this year than ever before. We have a fund drive goal of $330,000 to cover programming expenses alone. Yes, it's a steep goal compared to previous years, but we truly believe that together we can reach it.
Please take this time to renew your membership and invest in WFIU. Your support makes the difference in the quality of our service and allows us to live up to our WFIU slogan-Radio that Matters.

They Made America: From the Steam Engine to the Search Engine, Two Centuries of Innovators

Sunday, November 5, 8:30 p.m. (start time approximate due to Fund Drive)

From the steam engine to the search engine, two centuries of innovators have helped shape America. Whether it's the creative concept of a transcontinental railroad or the mass production of blue jeans, innovation has led the way in building the foundation that America, and subsequently, much of the world, stands on.
Journalist and editor Sir Harold Evans hosts this journey through the times, lives, and ideas of the dynamic people who shaped this country, based on his book "They Made America."
The program brings to life the stories of pathfinders, inventors, and democratizers-including not only Edison, Ford, and the creators of the Google search engine, but less well known contributors, such as Theodore Judah, creator of the transcontinental railroad, and Oliver Evans, inventor of the first automatic integrated production line.
The program also highlights innovations from women, who started to make a breakthrough in the 20th century after overcoming social constraints and lack of capital in earlier periods. Interviews include Joan Ganz Cooney, founder of Children's Television Workshop and the visionary behind "Sesame Street," family cosmetics company founder Estée Lauder, and Barbie doll inventor Ruth Handler.
Also heard are business leader and former Chairman and CEO of General Electric Jack Welch, author and New Yorker writer Ken Auletta, and media mogul Ted Turner.

The World of Robert Schumann
Sundays at 4 p.m. beginning November 12

"I am affected by everything that goes on in the world . . . politics, literature, and people . . . everything extraordinary that happens impresses me and impels me to express it in music." - Robert Schumann

This remarkable new thirteen-part series brings to life the composer whose contributions led to a revolution in music that is still felt today. The World of Robert Schumann tells a story full of drama and romance that entertains as well as informs. It covers Schumann's conflicts over a career as a lawyer and a composer, his pioneering work as a journalist/critic, his innovations in musical expression and form, and his mysterious hand ailment that ruined his career as virtuoso pianist.
Figuring prominently is Schumann's stormy courtship with the young pianist Clara Wieck and their extraordinary marriage partnership. Professional actors portray Robert and Clara, reading from their letters and diaries. And of course there are hundreds of excerpts of Schumann's music.
Esteemed critics assess Schumann's romantic obsession with madness and discuss Schumann's writings about contemporaries Brahms and Chopin, top pianists play and discuss the piano music that John Browning calls "the most dangerous of all the piano repertoire," world-class singers talk about the celebrated song literature, and conductors discuss the many chamber works, choral works, and symphonies.
Producer/host John Tibbetts spent twenty years compiling the program, traveling the world to capture the interviews with often elusive luminaries. He sought to convey not just the "outer" voices of Schumann's music-the instrumentation, the melodic contours, the harmonic adventures, and the formal eccentricities-but also, in his words, "that sense so peculiar to Schumann's music of an inner voice; a kind of musical speech murmuring beneath the surface, sometimes musing, sometimes disputatious and disruptive, sometimes downright baffling."
The esteemed participants include Virgil Thomson, Elly Ameling, Emanuel Ax, Garrick Ohlsson, Eugenia Zuckerman, Christoph von Dohnanyi, Lucas Foss, Leonard Slatkin, professor Jacques Barzun, critics Virgil Thomson and Martin Bookspan, actor Simon Callow, and many others.

November 12
"The Romantic Apprenticeship: Student Days, 1810-1830"
This first program in the series focuses on Schumann's upbringing in Zwickau, his early conflicts between a career in law and music, and extended analyses of Schumann's early piano music, including the Beethoven Variations and the Papillons, Opus 2. We'll hear from conductor Wolfgang Sawallisch, pianists Claude Frank, Paul Badura-Skoda, and Cyprian Katsaris. Also commentary by historian Eric Sams and biographer Dr. Peter Ostwald.

November 19
"Florestan and Eusebius: A Case Study in Dual Personality"

This episode explores how Schumann created alter egos to express his creative and personal conflicts and divisions. It features analyses of the piano cycles Kreisleriana, Opus 16, and the Davidsbundler Tonze, Opus 6, by pianists Anton Kuerti, Charles Rosen, Jean-Bernard Pommier, Ivo Pogorelich, Vladimir Feltsman, and Philippe Bianconi. Also, psychoanalytical commentary by biographer Drs. Peter Ostwald and Ronald Taylor.

November 25
"The Courtship of Robert Schumann and Clara Wieck, 1935-1840"
The celebrated love story runs into numerous difficulties, parental objections, and legal tangles. Commentary by biographers Drs. Peter Ostwald and Nancy Reich; musical analyses of the Clara Variations by pianist Anton Kuerti, and of the Fantasie in C, Opus 17 by pianists Charles Rosen and Mary-Louise Boehm, and historian Eric Sams.

Angela Gheorghiu: A Portrait
Sunday, November 12, 8 p.m.

To mark the upcoming U.S. appearance of the great virtuoso soprano Angela Gheorghiu, WFIU presents Angela Gheorghiu: A Portrait, a unique two-hour biographical profile of her life and career.
Now at the very height of her powers, Miss Gheorghiu speaks with producer Jon Tolansky about her life and career, her love of music and arts of many genres, and her interpretation of operatic roles and songs that have brought her acclaim as one of the most admired dramatic and lyric singer actresses of this and the previous century.
Contributors include tenor Roberto Alagna, soprano Carol Neblett, mezzo-soprano Marilyn Horne, conductor Antonio Pappano, musicologist and writer Charles Osborne, opera scholar and impresario Lord Harewood, former President of EMI Classics Peter Alward, and former Opera Director of the Royal Opera House Covent Garden Paul Findlay.
The program covers Miss Gheorghiu's life from the time of growing up and developing as an artist in communist Romania, through her now famous debuts in the world's major opera houses and concert halls. It continues up to the present time of still increasing accolades as a vocal virtuoso, a master interpreter of repertoire that is ever widening into new areas, and a vibrant and subtle stage actress.
Illustrating her artistry are extracts from her complete recordings of La traviata, Il trovatore, L'elisir d'amore, Tosca, La Boheme, La rondine, Manon, Werther, Carmen, and Romeo et Juliette, recital recordings of arias by Mozart, Verdi, Puccini, and many other composers, recordings of duets with the outstanding tenor Roberto Alagna (her husband), as well as recordings of music from her homeland, Romania, and, in great contrast, the Broadway stage.

Iran-A Revolutionary State
Sunday, November 19, 8 p.m.

Iran appears to have a repressed yet fanatical population railing against the United States. Yet Iran had the Middle East's first democratically-elected government, and for a century, Iran has had a sustained women's movement. In Iran-A Revolutionary State, host John Tusa takes a close look at the making of modern Iran. Journeying through a turbulent century, he takes up the challenge of understanding the origins of Iran and the paradox at the heart of the nation.

Early Signs: Reports from a Warming Planet
Sunday, November 19, 9 p.m.

The early signs of climate change are showing up across vastly differing landscapes: from melting outposts near the Arctic Circle to disappearing glaciers high in the Andes; from the rising water in the deltas of Bangladesh to the "sinking" atolls of the Pacific. Reports from a Warming Planet takes you to parts of the planet where global warming is already making changes to life and landscape. The reports demonstrate how climate change is no longer restricted to scientific modeling about the future; it's happening now.

National Press Club: Education Secretary Margaret Spellings
Sunday, November 26, 8 p.m. (till approximately 9:30)

In our fast-changing world, has higher education kept pace? Is it accessible to students of all backgrounds, including minorities, low-income students, and adults? Is it affordable? And accountable to the students, parents, and taxpayers who foot the bill?
These are some of the questions addressed by U.S. Education Secretary Margaret Spellings at her recent talk to the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.
"There is an urgent need for change in America's higher education system," Spellings said. "We know higher education is the key to our children's future and the American dream yet it is becoming more unaffordable and less attainable . . . . To remain competitive in the 21st century global economy, we must act now and continue the national dialogue and work together to find the right solutions."

What's the Word? W. E. B. Du Bois
Sunday, November 26, 9:30 p.m. (time approximate)

Many consider W. E. B. Du Bois the most important black leader in the first half of the twentieth century. A sociologist, historian, author, teacher, activist, and co-founder of the NAACP and its magazine The Crisis, Du Bois was profoundly influential, and his work remains relevant today.
On this program, produced by the Modern Language Association for their What's the Word? series, Pulitzer Prize-winning author David Levering Lewis tells us about Du Bois' early life and the years that led up to the publication of "The Souls of Black Folk," in which Du Bois took a forceful stand against the policy of accommodation. Marlon B. Ross explores some of the social and political issues that Du Bois responded to in the book, and Cheryl Townsend Gilkes discusses the book's continuing influence.

Artist of the Month: Emilio Colón

This month WFIU is pleased to feature performances by IU Jacobs School of Music faculty member cellist Emilio Colón.
Colón received his undergraduate degree from the Puerto Rico Conservatory of Music, where he was awarded the Pablo Casals Medal. He continued his studies at Indiana University, and he received his master's degree while studying with Janos Starker.
Before returning to Indiana as one of the youngest faculty members in the school's history, Colón made his mark by winning solo competitions, teaching at the New World School of Arts in Florida, and being part of resident chamber music groups at several different schools. His involvement with the cello isn't limited to teaching and performing-he has also published editions and arrangements of cello music, conducts the IU Cello Ensemble, and is currently the Executive Vice President of the Eva Janzer Memorial Cello Center Foundation.
WFIU will feature Colón's commercial recordings and IU performances throughout November. On the Wednesday, November 1st at 10:08 p.m., Colón leads the IU Cello Ensemble in Heitor Villa-Lobos' Bachianas Brasiliera No. 1. On Thursday, November 16th at 7:07 p.m., he joins pianist Sung Hoon Mo for the Siete Canciones Populares Españolas of Manuel de Falla, and on Saturday, November 25th at 12:09 p.m., Colón joins fellow IU faculty member cellist Janos Starker for the Sonata in C, G. 74 of Luigi Boccherini. Finally, on Sunday, Novermber 26th, Colón performs his own composition "N" (Tango for Violin, Cello, and Piano) with ensemble Trio Amadé.

November 5 - The Essential Journalist: Daniel Schorr
(7 p.m. to approximately 8:30)
This special Fund Drive program focuses on journalist Daniel Schorr, a veteran of newspaper, network and cable television, and radio news. Schorr looks back on a lifetime of experiences reporting on historical events and people that range from Khrushchev and the Berlin Wall to Richard Nixon, Ted Turner, and Frank Zappa. Robert Siegel hosts the program, which features archival tape, Schorr's frank accounts of decisions he has made and reporting he has done. Schorr contemporaries Helen Thomas, Seymour Hersh, Marvin Kalb, David Wise, William Safire, and NPR's Weekend Edition hosts Scott Simon and Liane Hansen share their experiences working with a legend of journalism. (runs till approximately 8:30 p.m.)

November 12 - Dessa Kirk
Dessa Kirk is a Chicago sculptor known for making large-scale lilies and depictions of women from Greek mythology. Her installations include "Daphne Garden" as part of Chicago's Art in the Garden series. One of the themes in her work is finding the hidden beauty in ugliness, and she often makes her pieces from scraps of discarded Cadillac cars. Her sculptures are huge and rugged looking, ranging from raw to elegant. Shana Ritter is the host.

November 30 - Alexander Kerr
By the time Alexander Kerr became the youngest member of the string faculty at the IU Jacobs School of Music, he had amassed a considerable orchestral and solo career. He has served as concertmaster of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, and appeared as a soloist with orchestras throughout Europe and the United States. As a chamber musician, he has collaborated with such notables as IU alumni Joshua Bell and Edgar Meyer. Most recently he mounted a chamber music tour of Europe with violinist Sarah Chang and members of the Berlin Philharmonic. He spoke with Peter Jacobi. (repeat)

November 26 - James MacMillan
James MacMillan is a composer/conductor with the BBC Philharmonic whose music combines rhythmic excitement, raw emotional power, and spiritual meditation. References to folk music from his native Scotland give his work a strong sense of the vernacular, while strongly held religious and political beliefs inform both the spirit and subject matter of his music. His works have been performed worldwide by orchestras including the London Symphony Orchestra, the New York and Los Angeles Philharmonics, and the Cleveland Orchestra. His large-scale work for chorus a cappella, Sun-dogs, was premiered in 2006 by the Indiana University Contemporary Vocal Ensemble. He spoke with Cary Boyce.

The Radio Reader
with Dick Estell

"High Plains Tango"
by Robert James Waller

Begins Thursday, November 30
Number of episodes: Twenty-four

Carlisle McMillan, a traveler and master carpenter, seeks a place of quiet amid the grinding roar of progress. He finds his quiet, or so he believes, in Salamander, South Dakota, where he begins rebuilding a decrepit house-and rebuilding his life at the same time.
He also finds two very different, independent women: Gally Deveraux, who works at a diner in Salamander and longs for something more than she is, and Susanna Benteen, beautiful and enigmatic, who was drawn to Salamander for mysterious reasons of her own, a woman the town has labeled a witch.
For McMillan, the women, his carpenter's trade, and an old Indian known as Flute Player bring him a sense of contentment for a while. But his quiet is shattered as bulldozer treads begin to turn and the Yerkes County War commences. Run or stand your ground-that is McMillan's dilemma, with Gally on one side, and Susanna on the other.
An ode to the mythical Western small town of yesteryear by the author of "The Bridges of Madison County."

WFIU Future Fund

Radio broadcasting is undergoing rapid change. One of WFIU's missions is to keep up with change, ensuring the best possible service to both our current listeners and listeners of the future.
This future takes us beyond today's broadcasting, into a world where anyone, anywhere will be able to access our programs at any time. These changes require a major investment in technology that go well beyond the rexsources we generate through our annual membership program that supports our daily operation.
To financially support these new initiatives, we created the WFIU Future Fund. Thoughtful gifts to the Fund have come in many forms-from direct cash gifts of support, to stock, retirement, insurance policies, and estate plans. The Future Fund Charter Donors are listed below, with WFIU's gratitude.
We welcome your participation in helping WFIU stay in the broadcasting forefront. Listeners may support the WFIU Future Fund, or any number of giving and naming opportunities beginning at $1,000 that permit individuals and businesses to become involved beyond an annual membership or underwriting gift.
To learn how you can become involved, contact Judy Witt, WFIU/WTIU Major and Planned Gifts Officer, at jwitt@indiana.edu or 812-855-2935.
We would like to express our gratitude to the Future Fund Charter Donors:
