Renée Fleming and Nathan Gunn in The Merry WidowThe Metropolitan OperaSaturday, January 17, 1 p.m.

/ Directions in Sound / January 2015 Bloomington 103.7 fm • Columbus 100.7 fm • French Lick/West Baden 101.7 fm

The Met’s New Merry WidowRenée Fleming stars as the beguiling femme fatale who captivates all Paris in Franz Lehár’s enchanting operetta, in a new staging by Broadway virtuoso director and choreographer Susan Stroman.

As Hanna, the widowed Parisian millionairess, Fleming adds a new character to her wide-ranging Met Opera repertory of 22 roles. Sir Andrew Davis conducts a cast that includes Nathan Gunn as Hanna’s lover, Danilo; Alek Shrader as the young nobleman, Camille de Rosillon; Thomas Allen as the scheming Baron Zeta; and soprano Kelli O’Hara, star of the Broadway musical The Bridges of Madison County, in her Met debut as the Baron’s coquettish wife, Valencienne.

Susan Stroman, whose many credits include the Tony Award-winning musicals Crazy for You, Contact, and The Producers, makes her Met debut with this lavish production of The Merry Widow. Stroman and designer Julian Crouch (Satyagraha, The Enchanted Island) have created an Art Nouveau setting that climaxes with singing and dancing grisettes at Maxim’s.

The operetta will be performed in English, in a translation by Jeremy Sams. Lehár’s best-known work has been an international audience favorite since its 1905 premiere in Vienna and features a great deal of well-known music, including “Vilja,” “You’ll Find Me at Maxim’s,” and “The Merry Widow Waltz.” Tune in Saturday, January 17 at 1 p.m.

Jazz NotesHey there 2014, it’s all over between us. We can still be friends, but it’s time to move on. Still, we’re not afraid to look back—all the way to 1962 on WFIU’s Friday-evening show Night Lights, airing January 30. That same evening on Afterglow, we’ll celebrate the centennial of trumpeter Bobby Hackett. Other Afterglow episodes this month feature portraits of Cassandra Wilson, the songwriting team of Rodgers and Hart, and 1980s torch songs.

Finally, you’ll be hearing a new voice on Just You and Me every Friday afternoon from 3:30 to 5 p.m., starting January 9: William Morris will be taking over Joe Bourne’s getting-you-ready-for-the-weekend duties. Tune in next month for more about William and another change that’s coming to the WFIU jazz programming lineup.

Happy New Year from all of us here at WFIU!

January 2015 / Directions in Sound /

January 4 – Joe Bourne

Joe Bourne was born in 1946 and grew up in Charlestown, Indiana. He graduated from Our Lady of Providence High School in 1964 and Bellarmine College in 1969, and went on to serve in the United States Air Force for two years. After working for a few years as a rock ’n’ roll DJ, he came to WFIU in December of 1984, where he took over the afternoon jazz shift and rechristened it Just You and Me, a show that through the years has proven to be one of WFIU’s

most popular programs. He also did movie reviews and hosted the Friday-evening show The Big Bands. He retired from WFIU at the end of 2014. David Brent Johnson hosts.

January 11 – Sonia Nazario

Sonia Nazario has spent 20 years reporting and writing about social issues, especially those dealing with Latinos and Latin America, most recently as a projects reporter for the Los Angeles Times. She began her career at the Wall Street Journal, where she reported from four bureaus: New York, Atlanta, Miami, and Los Angeles. Her six-part newspaper series, “Enrique’s Journey,” about Latin American children who immigrate to join their parents in the U.S., won more

than a dozen national journalism awards including the Pulitzer Prize for Feature Writing. Expanded into a book, Enrique’s Journey became a national bestseller and is required reading for incoming freshmen at 21 universities and dozens of high schools nationwide. Gena Asher hosts. (repeat)

January 18 – David Malone

David M. Malone is a diplomat and author on international security and development. He is frequently quoted on international affairs, especially relations between the United States and the United Nations. Malone is a former president of the International Peace Institute, and currently is Rector of the United Nations University in Tokyo, Japan. In that role, he holds the rank of Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations. Previously, he served as president of Canada’s

International Development Research Centre, a funding agency that supports policy-relevant research in the developing world. He has published extensively on peace and security issues. His recent books include (as co-editor) Nepal in Transition: From People’s War to Fragile Peace and Does the Elephant Dance? Contemporary Indian Foreign Policy. Sumit Ganguly hosts.

January 25 – Franklyn Cater and Alexandros Washburn

This special broadcast features a discussion with NPR senior producer Franklyn Cater and former New York City chief urban designer Alexandros Washburn recorded in the SPEA atrium on the Bloomington campus. Cater and Washburn are top contributors to the Cities Project, an extensive reporting series about urban life in the 21st century heard on Morning Edition and All Things Considered. In the discussion, Cater and Washburn focused on three topics. Location: how a

city’s location makes all the difference in its interaction with nature; design: how design affects the ways city dwellers interact with neighbors and the environment; and mobility: how urban efforts are fortifying existing infrastructure and transit lines, adding new modes to give people options. Will Murphy moderates.

10:00 PM FOLKTALESFolktale of SnowfallAs they say in many a folk world, winter either bites with its teeth or lashes with its tail. It’s quite a (snow) flurry of activity on this edition, with a seasonal slide through winter worlds for musical traditions old and new.


TranslationThis hour of Radiolab, we wonder how it is that the right words can have the wrong meanings, and why the best translations lead us to an understanding that’s deeper than language. We present eight stories that play out in the middle space between one reality and another—where poetry, insult comedy, 911 calls, and even our own bodies work to close the gap.

9:00 PM HARMONIAFlights of FancyWe take to the skies as we explore music by, for, and about birds. Well, maybe not music by birds, but a wealth of music exists inspired by these poets of the sky. In addition, we explore the evolution of the instrumental fantasia, from Byrd to Bach.

10:00 PM FIESTA!Music, Places, MemoriesDespite claims that musical work and their titles must be purified of extra-musical associations (viewed by purists as “romantic deviations”), composers of all eras have

10:00 PM FOLKTALESFolktale of SecretsIn the words of André Malraux, “Man is not what he thinks he is, he is what he hides.” It’s that hidden pathway we surreptitiously follow on this hush-hush edition of Folktales.


GutsHosts Jad Abumrad and Robert Krulwich dive into the messy mystery in our middles, and try to decode what the rumblings deep in our bellies reveal about us. We stick our hand in a cow stomach, get a window into our core, and listen in on the surprising back-and-forth between our gut and our brain. We talk to a man who kind of went out of his mind when a medical procedure left him temporarily gutless.

10:00 PM RELEVANT TONESGoing SoloThere is perhaps no more intimate connection in music than when a composer writes a solo piece specifically for a gifted performer, crafting the piece for the player’s specific strengths and musical tastes.

9:00 PM HARMONIATainted LoveLove is patient; love is kind—except when it’s anything but! Some sweet nothings have sour endings, and sometimes that box of chocolates proves to be a bitter pill.

10:00 PM FIESTA!Modern HarpsichordTo most ears, the harpsichord sounds like an instrument exclusively related to music from the Baroque period. But Spanish and Latin American composers from the 20th century have written many pieces dedicated to the venerable instrument.

Thomas Hampson sings the Four Villains, and Yves Abel conducts Offenbach’s sparkling score.

10:00 PM FOLKTALESFolktale of Peace SignsIn the ever-timely words of Martin Luther King, Jr., “Peace is not merely a distant goal we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal.” What sign do we have that it works? Find out this week on Folktales.

Gifts to WFIU Qualify for Indiana State Tax CreditReceiving your tax documents in the mail during January? Don’t forget that your gifts to WFIU during 2014 receive a credit on your Indiana state taxes.

It’s true. WFIU is licensed to Indiana University and your support of our station qualifies for a tax credit for contributions to colleges and universities located in Indiana. It’s better than a deduction—it’s a credit that reduces the tax you owe. And if you itemize, your gift also qualifies for a federal deduction. It’s all money back in your pocket.

For a joint return, Indiana taxpayers may take a tax credit for 50 percent of their gift to WFIU each year with a maximum credit of $200, on gift of $400 or more. For a single return, the maximum credit is $100 (based on a gift of $200 or more).

To take advantage of this credit, you will only need to complete one simple form—the Indiana CC-40. Attach this form to your Indiana income tax return for 2014 tax year. You may obtain the form online from the State of Indiana’s website: IN.gov/dor.

Follow these four easy steps: Step 1: Send in a gift to WFIU.

Make your check out to Indiana University Foundation/WFIU.

Step 2: Feel good for supporting public radio!

Step 3: File the CC-40 form.Step 4: Feel even better when the

state of Indiana reduces your taxes!

Why does the state do it? Because strong annual support from donors like you is vital to WFIU and Indiana University and our universities and colleges are vital to the state . . . but you already knew that.

For more information, contact Nancy Krueger at 812-855-2935 or [email protected].

MASTERPIECE: Downton Abbey, Season 5Sundays at 9 to 10 p.m., January 4 to March 1

This international hit drama returns for a fifth season of interlaced stories centered on an English country estate—an entertaining formula that has made Downton Abbey the highest-rated drama in PBS history.

Season 5 finds the Crawley family and the staff struggling with responsibilities and choices as they adjust to life in the Roaring Twenties. The beloved ensemble cast includes Dame Maggie Smith, Elizabeth McGovern, Hugh Bonneville, Michelle Dockery, Jim Carter, Joanne Froggatt and others. The series is written by its creator Julian Fellowes.

The ensemble is joined this season by guest stars Harriet Walter (Atonement), reprising her role as Lady Shackleton, and Peter Egan (Death at a Funeral), who returns as Lord Flintshire, with new characters played by Richard E. Grant (Girls), Anna Chancellor (The Hour), and Rade Sherbedgia (24).

In Episode 1 (January 4), a working-class prime minister is elected and old attitudes start to change. Robert is snubbed by the village. Baxter tells all, and Edith plays with fire. Episode 2 (January 11) finds Rose hitting on a strategy to get a radio in the house. Sarah tutors Daisy, an art historian arrives, and Anna makes a difficult purchase.

In Episode 3 (January 18), Mary and Lord Gillingham put their love to the test as Bates faces a trial. Cora makes a new friend while Violet is reunited with an old one. Episode 4 (January 25) finds Lord Merton delivering a bombshell to Isobel, and Mary doing likewise to Tony. Police suspicions deepen in an unexplained death. Robert and Sarah lock horns.

The Radio Readerwith Dick Estell

Gray Mountain by John Grisham

Begins around January 15 for 26 episodes

The year is 2008 and Samantha Kofer’s career at a huge Wall Street law firm is on the fast track—until the recession hits and she gets downsized and escorted out of the building. A week later she is working as an unpaid intern in a legal aid clinic deep in small town Appalachia. For the first time in her career she is confronted with real clients with real problems. And she stumbles across secrets that should have remained buried deep in the mountains forever. Violence is always just around the corner, and within weeks Samantha finds herself engulfed in litigation that turns deadly.
