Meet Your Host: Joe Johnston

How long have you been an announcer at WCPE, and what attracted you to TheClassicalStation? I’ve been announc-ing for a little over a year. I started out answering phones for the fundraisers and

then came to the studio to answer phones on Friday mornings.How did you get involved in broadcasting, and do you have any exciting stories to share with us from your experiences? I have volunteered on a community TV program as camera operator and occasion-ally hosted some of the interviews with social justice advocates, model train friends, motorcycle riders, and an animal trainer, who brought an alligator into the studio.What is your favorite genre of music? Who are some of your favorite compos-ers and artists? Mostly I enjoy Classical music, but also I like bluegrass and old-time mountain music. I often attend the Eno River Festival in Durham, which features singer-songwriters from North Carolina and elsewhere. Some of my favorite Classical composers are Vivaldi and Borodin. I particularly like Prince Igor. My favorite performers include the Pianos Trio, which consists of Giorgia Tomassi, Carlo Maria Griguoli, and Alessandro Stella. I particularly like their exciting version of Gaîté Parisienne by Jacques Offenbach.Do any concert performances stand out in your memory? Once, visiting our son in Berlin, we attended a piano concert by Daniel Barenboim; the audience really loved him.Is there anything else your listeners might enjoy knowing about you? I like to ride the bicycle. Once I took a trip with a group of friends from San Salvador, El Salvador, to La Unión, a distance of about 140 miles.

Martin Luther King Jr. DayJanuary 15We celebrate the legacy of Dr. King with music of American composers and performers.

Simply Strings WeekendFebruary 16–18Who could imagine that some horsehair, pine rosin, a few steel wires, and a wooden box would add up to the Brahms Violin Concerto? There’s a bit of magic involved, too, on the part of the great players we celebrate in this weekend of music for violin, viola, cello, bass, guitar, mandolin, harp, and more!

Presidents’ DayMonday, February 19Patriotic selections and American music to honor our leaders through the years.

Deborah S. ProctorGeneral Manager

When an unknown is a true successI consider the outcome of each membership drive to be a great success, because I know that all of our supporters stand by us. Our typical member is dedicated and steadfast, month after month.Nationally on TheClassicalStation, we have a family of members crossing all seven conti-nents. Our support base is wide, stable, and growing and has the help of listeners to our partner stations.Second, our longstanding members in central North Carolina and Southside Virginia have been listening to WCPE-FM for coming upon four decades. That’s a mighty long time!Third, the return favor. If you lost much from recent storms, and the stability and the companionship of WCPE will help you while you rebuild your lives, tell us. We’ll keep Quarter Notes coming to you so you can still plan your listening and have a respite of peace and a refuge of space where you can close your eyes a bit.Thoughts on December: We may need a short and sweet mini-drive (we’ll keep it brief and maybe even fun!) just before the end of the tax year. Remember that if you dabble in the stock market, you can often offset rough edges coming on April 15—taxes on your profits and gains. Give the random and orphan shares from dividends, splits, mergers, and so forth to WCPE. You get a donation credit of the full accrued mar-ket value, and your donation is deductible

to the full extent of the law. Plus, you don’t have to pay capital gains tax on the transfer. Use the bigger deduction to offset taxes on the gains and shares you keep. Your tax con-sultant can transfer the shares to WCPE, or you can sign the certificate to “Educational Information Corporation, d/b/a WCPE Radio.” Our tax identification number is 56-106-1859. It’s a sound investment and a smart move!We hope that 2018 turns out to be a good year for everyone, near and far. Thank you!Sincerely,

Does your musical nonprofit organization need funding for an educational endeavor that will benefit our community? Download an application at theclassicalstation.org/education and submit by March 31, 2015. Applications will be reviewed in April and grants awarded in May.

Christopher Parkening By Curtis BrothersChristopher Parkening was born in Los Angeles on December 14, 1947. Andrés Segovia said, “Christopher Parkening is a great artist—he is one of the most brilliant guitarists in the world.”1 He has continued Segovia’s legacy.At age six, Parkening’s father taught him to fly-fish, and he continues with his son in the High Sierras to this day. He became one of the world’s greatest tarpon fisher, winning the Gold Cup Tarpon Tournament in the Florida Keys.

At 11, Parkening’s cousin introduced him to Andrés Segovia’s work. At 15, he received a scholarship to perform at Segovia’s first U.S. master class, held at the University of California at Berkeley. 19 saw him signing with Capitol Records and starting the guitar department at the University of Southern California. At 30, he was able to buy a ranch in Montana with a trout stream and go fishing.Four years later, he had a profound spiritual enlightenment and decided to devote his life again to the guitar. In 2013, Parkening retired from performing, and he resides with his family in Southern California, where he is distinguished professor of music and chair of the Guitar Department at Pepperdine University in Malibu, California.Tune in on December 14, Parkening’s 70th birthday, to hear Parkening’s solo transcrip-tion of Bach’s “Sleepers Awake” at 8:00 a.m. and his rendition of Peter Warlock’s Capriol Suite at 1:00 p.m. ET.

Samuel Barber

Jennifer Higdon got a relatively late start in music, teaching herself to play flute at age 15 and beginning formal musical studies three years later. Yet today, this Brooklyn-born Pulitzer Prize–winner is one of America’s most frequently performed composers. Join us for Wavelengths on New Year’s Eve, Ms. Higdon’s 55th birthday, as we celebrate her music, including All Things Majestic, a 2011 symphonic work inspired by the beauty of the American landscape.WCPE showcases the best music of contem-porary composers each week on Wavelengths, a mix of 21st century compositions and significant pieces from the last century.Wavelengths depends upon financial support from listeners. Please make your tax-deduct-ible gift online at theclassicalstation.org.

in for WCPE’s Preview, the program that brings you the best in new recordings and arts news, every Sunday evening from 6:00 to 9:00 on TheClassicalStation.

Each Sunday evening after Wavelengths, WCPE brings you two hours of music intended to help you unwind from the week that’s ending and prepare for the one ahead. Peaceful Reflections is a thoughtful, relaxing mix of orchestral, chamber, choral, and organ works, a perfect way to end a Sunday evening.

program listings (february) wcpe in the communityGenerosity of Education Fund Donors Helps WCPE String Quartet ContinueBy Jeanne E. FredriksenThree years ago, WCPE’s Tara Lynn and Liz Bielman, executive director of the North Carolina Chamber Music Institute (NCCMI), created the WCPE String Quartet. The quartet’s dual purpose was to provide scholarships from the Education Fund to four talented students and to raise awareness for the Education Fund and the Great Classical Music played on WCPE. The quartet received grants from the Education Fund for two seasons; however, the third was a different story.The Education Fund’s $10,000 was distribut-ed to five music education–oriented nonprof-its in the area; however, nearly 20 grant appli-cants had been considered, and there weren’t enough funds to go around. Following distribution, the decision was made to have a special campaign to raise money to save the WCPE String Quartet. Membership director Dan McHugh then created the campaign and wrote to station members who had already contributed to the Education Fund. The goal was to raise $4,000, half of which would go to the quartet instead of the normal 10 percent. The campaign subsequently raised $5,000 from approximately 30 of the contacted donors, providing $2,500 for the quartet for this year.

“This is a one-time special campaign. We hope that we’ll continue to have the funding necessary to provide the scholarships and to continue the WCPE String Quartet in perpetuity,” McHugh said. “However, that will only happen with the generous sup-port of donors who continue to support the education fund.”This season’s WCPE String Quartet features Samuel Zhu and Jaewon Jung (violins), Mary Eyre (viola), and Justin Kim (cello). The WCPE String Quartet, along with other NCCMI groups, will be performing on December 14 from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. at the Oaks at Whitaker Glen–Mayview in Raleigh; on January 7 from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. at Edenton Street United Methodist Church in Raleigh; on March 10 from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. at SearStone in Cary; on April 15 at 4:00 p.m. at Carolina Meadows in Chapel Hill; and on April 22 at 2:00 p.m. at the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh.“We have been absolutely thrilled and humbled by the outpouring of generosity shown to NCCMI by Dan McHugh and the WCPE contributors!” Bielman said. “This gift will enable our four outstanding young musicians to continue their tremendous artistic growth and amazing performances throughout our community.”McHugh said that this is an example of the radio station giving back. “And hopefully,” he added, “it will encourage others to take the option of donating 10 percent of their contribution to the radio to go back to help young musicians.” q

May your new year be filled with Great Classical Music!

on the coverlately we’ve readTwo Premieres at the MetBy Bob ChapmanThe Metropolitan Opera rolls out two new productions this winter, Puccini’s Tosca on New Year’s Eve and Mozart’s Così fan Tutte on March 15.Puccini’s tale of romance and politics features a heroic painter, a despicable police chief, and an operatic superstar. It premiered in Rome in 1900. First seen at the Met on February 4, 1901, Tosca’s newest production is the seventh in the company’s history.Sonya Yoncheva and Anna Netrebko share the title role in Sir David McVicar’s new production. It replaces Luc Bondy’s unpopu-lar 2009 version, which had the misfortune to follow Franco Zeffirelli’s beloved 1985 setting. Vittorio Grigolo and Marcelo Álvarez alternate as the revolutionary artist Mario Cavaradossi, while a trio of A-List baritones—Bryn Terfel, Michael Volle, and Željko Lučić—take turns portraying the dastardly Baron Scarpia.Yoncheva, Grigolo, and Terfel will sing on opening night, December 31, conducted by James Levine. TheClassicalStation’s listeners can hear Tosca on January 27.Così fan Tutte, ossia La Scuola degli Amanti (“Thus Do They All, or the School for Lovers”) is set in the 1950s at New York City’s Coney Island. The last of three operas by Mozart with librettist Lorenzo da Ponte, it premiered in Vienna on January 26, 1790. The Met gave the opera’s U.S. premiere in 1922. Phelim McDermott’s new production is only the fourth in the company’s history.

A cynical philosopher, Don Alfonso, wagers with Ferrando and Guglielmo that their respective fiancées, Fiordiligi and Dorabella, will not remain faithful to them if put to the test. The ladies reluctantly watch their lovers head off to war, but soon thereafter two handsome Albanian soldiers (Ferrando and Guglielmo in disguise) arrive intent on seduction. The ladies’ maid Despina urges them to take advantage of the situation. Christopher Maltman portrays Don Alfonso, and Tony Award–winner Kelli O’Hara is Despina. A quartet of young lovers—Amanda Majeski (Fiordiligi), Serena Malfi (Dorabella), Ben Bliss (Ferrando), and Adam Plachetka (Guglielmo)—test each other’s fidelity in this dark comedy of manners.David Robertson is the conductor, and WCPE listeners can hear it on March 31. q

Delius and NorwayBy Andrew J. BoyleThe Boydell PressA review by RC SpeckStudents of the Romantic period of music know well that nationalism was all the rage for a good part of the 19th century. Often, a composers drew great inspiration from their nations or ethnicities or from the majestic geography of their native lands.Frederick Delius was certainly one such composer, but with a twist. He was English but became fixated on a foreign land in his music: that of Norway. Author Andrew Boyle chronicles Delius’s love affair with this neighboring nation and illustrates clearly how landscapes, particularly mountainous ones, can become reflected in music.Much of Delius’s love for Norway stemmed from his close friendship with Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg. The two shared, among other things, a love for walking and hiking, and it was Grieg who took Delius on his many tours of the mountains of Norway. Pieces such as Paa Vidderne (On the Mountains) and Over the Hills and Far Away were in part results of Delius’s love for Norway. Boyle takes Paa Vidderne down to its musical notation to show how themes such as peaks and plateaus play out in the composer’s imagination.A regular in the salons of fin de siècle Paris, Delius rubbed shoulders with many famous artists including Paul Gauguin, August Strindberg, and Edvard Munch. He also formed a relationship with Norwegian nationalist author Knut Hamsun. He expressed his left-leaning politics and may or may not have had meaningful relationships with some more radical personalities. But the mountains of Norway always beckoned, and whenever Delius had the money, he visited to get “his old self back again.”

Boyle goes into great detail surrounding the low point of Delius’s career in Norway. In 1897, after a bitterly contested election regarding Norway’s independence from Sweden, a satirical play featured a piece of music from Delius which made fun of the Norwegian national anthem. After this, Delius was persona non grata in the land that he loved.But even this event could not shake Delius’s self-confidence. After the turn of the century, he found great success in Germany and England. With his wife Jelka, he contin-ued to visit and stay in Norway whenever he could. Even as his health declined after World War I, Delius would not sacrifice his frequent sojourns into Norway. He com-posed the tone poem Eventyr, the last of his odes to Norway, during this period.Norway inspired Delius to compose around thirty-three pieces. These were drawn either from his own experiences or from Norwegian poems, the texts of which he set to music. In Frederick Delius, Andrew Boyle found not only a fascinating subject but an opportunity to show how a nation can inspire one to compose great music. q

The North Carolina Symphony played in Southern Pines, where I grew up, so I appreciated Classical music early. My years at Duke provided memorable musical experiences. Then work took us to other exciting places for forty-one years, each with its own musical opportunities, but without a Classical radio presence to educate and enliven us.

While the grandchildren were certainly the first draw, upon returning to North Carolina several years ago, we also discovered WCPE. It helped to comfort us through life with Alzheimer’s. Classical music provided respite with its clarity of expressing emotions, usually without words. We invested in that happiness by becoming sustaining members. Whether listening to opera on Thursday nights, worshipping with Sunday morning’s Great Sacred Music, delighting in My Life in Music, or simply restoring equilibrium, TheClassicalStation was there, accessible 24-7, when we needed it.

Now, when grandchildren come to visit or ride in my car, WCPE enculturates us. I am committed to supporting Wonderful Classical Programming Everyday.—Janet Phillips Campbell

Please consider leaving a planned gift to WCPE in your will. A bequest is just one way to leave a legacy that will ensure that TheClassicalStation can continue broadcasting for generations to come. For more information, please call Dan McHugh at 919.556.5178.
