Maazel began his tenure as the Philharmonic’s new Music Director in September, and already has put his stamp of authority on the playing of the orchestra. Indeed he and the Philharmonic were rapturously received wherever they performed on a recent tour of the Far East. Celebrating the New Year with music is nothing new for Maazel: he holds the modern record for most appearances as conductor of the celebrated New Year’s Day concerts in Vienna by the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. There, of course, the fare is made up mostly of music by the waltzing Johann Strauss family, father and sons. For his New Year’s Eve concert with the New York Philharmonic Maazel has chosen quintessentially American music by the composer considered by many to be America’s closest equivalent to the Strausses, George Gershwin.

  • Classical Jazz
    LIVE FROM LINCOLN CENTER May 29, 2003, 8:00 p.m. on PBS Marsalis at the Penthouse In the summer of 1987 a "Classical Jazz" concert series was established at New York City's Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, under the inspired leadership of trumpet player, Wynton Marsalis. Seven years later this indispensable activity was redefined and became the autonomous jazz division at Lincoln Center--Jazz at Lincoln Center. Thus this essential American musical form took its place at Lincoln Center alongside such other constituents as the New York Philharmonic and the Metropolitan Opera, with Marsalis continuing as the driving force behind it. We have been privileged over the years on Live From Lincoln Center to be able to bring you several performances by this outstanding ensemble, most recently in concert with Kurt Masur and the New York Philharmonic. (Interestingly, during the years of the Masur family's residence in New York, the Maestro's son-- himself an aspiring conductor--became a great jazz enthusiast.) Our next Live From Lincoln Center telecast, on Thursday evening, May 29, will be devoted to yet another live performance by Jazz at Lincoln Center. But with a difference! Our previous sessions with Jazz at Lincoln Center have originated in one of the several concert halls in the Lincoln Center complex and have featured the artistry of the large ensemble. On May 29 the 90-minute performance will take place in the intimate confines of the Kaplan Penthouse high atop the building that houses Lincoln Center's administration offices. The Kaplan Penthouse has served as the locale for three previous Live From Lincoln Center telecasts: two featuring Itzhak Perlman, the other spotlighting Renée Fleming.

STORY Series from Thirteen/WNET Premieres This Fall on PBS AMERICAN MASTERS is produced for PBS by Thirteen/WNET The colorful 85-year legacy of Warner Bros. is documented in an unprecedented film project, New York AMERICAN MASTERS You Must Remember This: The Warner Bros. Story, narrated by Clint Eastwood. The five-hour film, a Lorac production in partnership with AMERICAN MASTERS and Warner Bros. Entertainment, premieres nationally, September 23, 24 and 25 at 9 p.m. (ET) on PBS (check local listings). The film is directed, written and produced by award-winning filmmaker and film critic Richard Schickel. Eastwood is executive producer. “I think it’s wonderful and fitting that Richard Schickel, who produced his first big series The Men Who Made the Movies for public television in 1973, is returning to public television with this project – the epic and historic and thoroughly juicy Warner Bros. story,” says Susan Lacy, creator and Executive Producer of AMERICAN MASTERS, a five-time winner of the Emmy Award for Outstanding Primetime Non-Fiction Series. Through movie clips, rare archival interviews, newly photographed material, and insightful on-camera discussions with talent such as Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg, George Clooney, Warren Beatty, Sidney Lumet, Jack Nicholson, and many others, You Must Remember This gives us the history of 20th century America on the big screen.

Copyright 2005 Los Angeles Times All Rights Reserved Los Angeles Times May 29, 2005 Sunday Home Edition SECTION: SUNDAY CALENDAR; Calendar Desk; Part E; Pg. 17 LENGTH: 1305 words HEADLINE: MEDIA MATTERS / DAVID SHAW; There's a 'nuclear option' for PBS' woes as well BYLINE: DAVID SHAW BODY: The growing controversy over the Bush administration's attempts to replace what it sees as a "liberal bias" in PBS programming with what would appear to be "conservative bias" has forced me to think the unthinkable -- or at least the heretical, certainly in my cultural/ideological circle: Do we really want or need PBS anymore? I am not defending the Bush administration's assault on PBS, which is as appalling as it is predicable, nor do I mean to denigrate the fine, often brilliant work PBS has done through the years -- "Masterpiece Theater," "Firing Line," "Bill Moyers' Journal," Ken Burns' epic documentaries on the Civil War, baseball and jazz, among many others. But when the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the parent of PBS, was created by the Public Broadcasting Act of 1967, we lived in a television world largely limited to three commercial networks, a world quite accurately characterized as a "vast wasteland" by Newton Minow, then chairman of the FCC. We now live in a cable world, a "500-channel universe," and while I would not argue that many of these cable offerings match PBS at its best, they (and Fox) do provide many alternatives to the three original networks we had in 1967.

  • Bill Moyers' Speech to the National Conference for Media Reform
    Bill Moyers' speech to the National Conference for Media Reform From Free Press, May 16, 2005 By Bill Moyers The following is the prepared text for Bill Moyers’ speech to the National Conference for Media Reform on May 15, 2005. The event in St. Louis was organized and hosted by Free Press (www.freepress.net). Click here to listen an audio recording of the speech. Click here to watch a video of the speech. To join Free Press’ campaign to put the public back into PBS, please add your name to our petition calling for the resignation of Kenneth Tomlinson and the creation of a series of town meetings across the country on the future of public broadcasting. I CAN’T IMAGINE BETTER COMPANY ON THIS BEAUTIFUL SUNDAY MORNING IN ST. LOUIS. You’re church for me today, and there’s no congregation in the country where I would be more likely to find more kindred souls than are gathered here. There are so many different vocations and callings in this room — so many different interests and aspirations of people who want to reform the media — that only a presiding bishop like Bob McChesney with his great ecumenical heart could bring us together for a weekend like this. What joins us all under Bob’s embracing welcome is our commitment to public media. Pat Aufderheide got it right, I think, in the recent issue of In These Times when she wrote: “This is a moment when public media outlets can make a powerful case for themselves. Public radio, public TV, cable access, public DBS channels, media arts centers, youth media projects, nonprofit Internet news services … low-power radio and webcasting are all part of a nearly invisible feature of today’s media map: the public media sector.

An indigenous species of bamboo, blanketing 30 percent of Mizoram's 8,100 square miles, blooms once every half-century, spurring an explosion in the rat population which feeds off the bamboo's fruit. The rats run amok, destroying crops and precipitating a crippling famine throughout Mizoram. NOVA follows this gripping tale of nature's capacity to engender human suffering, and investigates the botanical mystery of why the bamboo flowers and why the rats attack with clockwork precision every half-century.
