Dear Friend,

April marks the beginning of spring and the scheduled end of the New York State budget process. Both could benefit from more sunshine. With no warning and no explanation, the Governor’s proposed 50% reduction in State operating aid for public broadcasting is a serious and unprecedented blow (and out of line with other reductions in education). While our local legislative delegation has been extremely supportive of our efforts to restore at least part of the cut, one thing is certain – we will have to absorb a serious reduction in support for educational programs and services in the coming year. This makes your support – membership, program underwriting, production funding, and planned gifts – more important than ever (individual giving, at more than $3 million a year, remains our largest source of revenue). In these difficult economic times you have a right to ask if your support is being used wisely and if it’s making a difference. While budgets may be decided by “three men in a room” in Albany, WXXI’s Karen DeWitt is there watching every step of the process. Her daily reports on AM 1370 and WRUR-FM keep you informed about the ways your tax dollars, along with the State’s portion of federal stimulus money, are being spent. Karen is also a regular contributor to New York Now on WXXI-TV. I hope you agree that in-depth reporting from the State Capital is a good investment – along with our dues to NPR for award-winning coverage of national and international events on the radio. I trust you agree that our dues to PBS, which help support The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, Frontline, Nova, Washington Week and other public affairs programming are dollars well invested. Additionally, Need to Know, our weekly television public affairs program, brings you in-depth coverage on local issues, with a special focus on the economy in recent months. How do others view our program investments? WXXI just received two Bronze Telly Awards recognizing episodes of our national health series, Second Opinion. This program, a partnership with the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC), is making a difference in healthcare here in the Rochester area and throughout the nation. One example – our new Caregiver’s Diary and Resource Guide helps individuals manage their loved ones’ healthcare. This is part of the Second Opinion for Caregivers initiative, supported by a grant from the Jacob and Valeria Langeloth Foundation. The initiative is designed to empower the more than 50 million Americans caring for a family member, friend, or loved one. Thirty thousand guides will be distributed to PBS stations across the country to share with their communities. Recently, when an independent producer decided to feature our Rochester Red Wings baseball team in a 13-part series, he asked WXXI to help and present the show nationally. When Chicago’s public television station, WYCC, put a focus on jazz in March they selected WXXI’s productions from the Rochester International Jazz Festival as their featured programming. When almost any arts and cultural organization or educational institution in town is looking for a media partner, they turn to WXXI first – because we believe that when we help another organization be more successful, it benefits all of us. If you made a gift during our recent television “pledge drive” or clicked on www.savenypbs.org to make your voice heard in Albany, thank you! Your financial support and your advocacy make a real difference. Our “pledge” back to you is that we’ll continue to work hard to merit your trust, and even in the most difficult of times, stay true to the mission of public broadcasting. And while we can’t control the weather, our reporters in Washington, Albany and right here at home will do their best to shed light on the stories that matter to you – every day!

Sincerely,

Norm Silverstein, WXXI President & CEO e-mail: [email protected] station signals april2009

Such was the case for the three-day, three-concert Pipedreams Live! event presented by WXXI-FM Classical 91.5, the Eastman School of Music, the King-Size Crowds Rochester Chapter of the American Guild of Organists, and the Rochester Theater Organ Society, February 13-15, 2009. for the King of Pipedreams host Michael Barone came to Rochester to host and record Instruments three concerts, featuring two organs that had been recently completed as part of the Eastman Rochester Organ Initiative (EROI), and the Mighty Wurlitzer at the By Ruth Phinney, Auditorium Theater. WXXI-FM’s Program Director “I go into these things hopeful but always nervous.” Barone said. “Will the publicity be effective and sufficient? Do people really listen to Pipedreams and, if so, why will they come out to hear a Pipedreams Live! event and not already be regulars at the organ activity in town?” The Friday night concert, on an elegant new organ by Paul Fritts drew a standing-room only crowd of nearly 1000. Saturday’s featured Craighead- Saunders organ, a new-made replica of an organ from 1776 by Casparini in Lithuania, drew a fire-code-violating crowd of over 500. On Sunday afternoon, the multigenerational crowd swelled to 1300+ for a concert of popular music from Cole Porter to Andrew Lloyd Webber. Barone reflected, “It really is a marvel- ous mystery, all of it, but I can’t help but smile when good instruments, good players, and a good-sized audience converge for a great time with the King of Instruments.” Organ students and faculty treated the capacity audiences to outstanding l o ff O rt performances from the Eastman School of Music. David Higgs, chair of the Organ Department applauded the performers, saying “I couldn’t have been more proud of everyone this weekend – incredible music making, professional stage work and n Jo n atha p hoto: huge audiences – what a weekend!” Eastman School of Music senior Jon Ortloff, winner of the 2008 American O r g a n Theatre Organ Society’s Young Theatre Organist Competition, and a performer in Sunday’s program stated, “All in all it was an unparalleled success for all of the

They were charismatic and forward thinking, imaginative and courageous, compassionate and resolute, and, at times, arrogant, vengeful, and reckless. For hundreds of years, Native American leaders from Massasoit, Tecumseh, and Tenskwatawa, to Major Ridge, Geronimo, and Fools Crow valiantly resisted expulsion from their lands and fought the extinction WE SHALL of their culture. Sometimes, their strategies were militaristic, but more often they were diplomatic, spiritual, legal, and political. American Experience, in association with Native American Public REMAIN Telecommunications, presents a five-part series that shows how Native peoples valiantly resisted expulsion from their lands and fought the extinction of their culture—from the Wampanoags of New England in the 1600s who used their alli- ance with the English to weaken rival tribes, to the bold new leaders of the 1970s who harnessed the momentum of the civil rights movement to forge a pan-Indian identity. We Shall Remain represents an unprecedented collaboration between Native and non-Native filmmakers and involves Native advisors and scholars at all levels of the project.
