ON WXXI-TV At the age of 10, Eva Mozes Kor fought to stay alive inside the concentration camp where she and her twin sister Miriam endured cruel experiments devised by Nazi doctor Josef Mengele. After decades of torment and pain following her liberation, she decided to use her experiences as a teaching tool for other generations. Despite health issues, the 4-foot-9, 85-year-old circles the globe delivering her messages of healing and self-empowerment. She addresses current global atrocities, as well as two of the biggest problems facing today’s youth — bullying and discrimination. BACKSTAGE PASS: SCIO QUARTET FRIDAY, MAY 3 AT 1 P.M.

AT THE LITTLE THEATRE DETAILS ON PAGE 18 >> ON CLASSICAL 91.5 DETAILS ON PAGE 16 >> JIM MALLEY, FACILITIES MANAGER FOR THE LITTLE THEATRE, NAMED GERALDINE REDDIG EMPLOYEE OF THE YEAR WXXI and the Little Theatre held its annual Staff Appreciation Luncheon in March. As part of the program, WXXI Board of Trustee Vice Chair Robert Healy presented the Geraldine B. Reddig Employee of the Year award to Jim Malley, Facilities Manager for the Little Theatre. The award is presented annually to a staff member who has made significant contributions to the organization; shows skill and ability in his/her position; displays a willingness to exceed in his/her job requirements; and possesses a positive attitude. As Facilities Manager, Jim inspects, monitors, and maintains building functions, meets with contractors, handles/coordinates general repairs, keeps up with the grounds, and helps out with special events. He was instrumental in the first phase of The Little’s restoration of theater one and will oversee phase two, which is happening now and will continue through October. Upon accepting the award, Jim said “I love what I do and to be able to be the caretaker of this gem of a place gives me great pride and satisfaction. I get to work with a great team of talented people and craftsmen to continue to improve and enhance this Art Deco treasure. I look forward to the next phase of our restoration process and am so excited to see the plans coming together - it is going to be amazing!” Employees at the station nominate the Employee of the Year and a select group votes on a winner. One of Jim’s peers describes him as someone who brings his A-game every single day. Another writes: Jim is a huge asset to The Little and we are so thankful we get to call him our very own.

WXXI and the Golisano Foundation, as part of our Move to Include initiative, are proud to be a co-host of this event that’s bringing industry leaders and Intellectual/Developmental Disability professionals together for “Inclusive Health.” Joe is the conference’s keynote speaker, but before he attends that conference he’ll be meeting with our Board of Trustees and those from the Golisano Foundation to learn more about our work with Move to Include and for him to share his work with us. In my letter last month, I noted that President Trump’s proposed budget recommends eliminating federal funding for public media and that I encouraged you to reach out to our lawmakers to support public media funding. There’s still time to do so and there’s a quick and easy way to do it by visiting www.protectmypublicmedia.org Thank you. Sincerely, Norm Silverstein [email protected] | @normWXXI 3 Q&A WITH A WXXI CORPORATE SPONSOR THE ROCHESTER LILAC FESTIVAL is a 10-day celebration of over 500 varieties of lilacs accompanied with music, family-friendly activities and special events. In the late ‘90s, Jeff Springut was asked to book the national acts for the Festival, which seemed like a natural progression from his background in producing concerts. Jeff dives into the behind the scenes of the Festival. Q. What does the band selection process look like? You need to stay on top of what’s hot and what’s not, both on a national and regional level, and then distill that down as to what/who’s meaningful in our market. Fortunately, I have always enjoyed listening to music, all kinds of music. I can’t sing or play an instrument, but fortunately I have a pretty good ear. Q. Any lesser-known festival activities you would recommend seeking out? The Garden Battles are fun to watch. I think we’re up to 7 teams now – mostly area media personalities who have one hour to build a 15’ x 15’ garden. We supply the materials and the public votes throughout the festival. The winner gets $1,000 from the festival to donate to their EVENTS favorite local charity and the runner up $500.

  • Renowned Singers Yonghoon Lee and Karah Son Lead Otelloin Sydney
    MEDIA RELEASE 7 June 2021 Verdi | Directed by Harry Kupfer | Conducted by Andrea Battistoni Renowned singers Yonghoon Lee and Karah Son lead Otello in Sydney July 16 - 29, 2021 | Joan Sutherland Theatre, Sydney Opera House Starring | Yonghoon Lee | Karah Son | Marco Vratogna This winter Opera Australia is presenting legendary German director Harry Kupfer’s highly acclaimed production of Otello, one of Verdi’s most magnificent works, with three internationally renowned singers leading a stellar cast. Distilled from Shakespeare’s masterpiece, Otello is an intense chamber-like piece that explores all the problems of the world, concentrated in the lives of the three main characters: Otello, Desdemona and Iago, three of Verdi’s most demanding roles, both vocally and dramatically. Internationally celebrated South Korean tenor Yonghoon Lee will, for the first time in his career, take on the titular role of war hero Otello. In his review of Lee’s 2016 Met performance in Mascagni’s Cavalleria Rusticana, Dr Neil Kurtzman labelled Lee’s voice “exceptional” and “large” and predicted the role of Otello would be in his future, noting Lee has a “beautiful spinto voice that he uses with great skill and sensitivity; it’s bright and rings”1. Having performed at prestigious opera houses all over the world, Lee debuted with Opera Australia in 2013 in the lead role of Cavaradossi in Giacomo Puccini’s Tosca and has since returned to Australia multiple times, most recently to play Don Jose in Georges Bizet’s Carmen early last year (before it closed prematurely due to COVID 19). The incomparable Karah Son, whose captivating performance made OA’s Madama Butterfly a must-see in 2019, is expected to give a performance that is just as compelling in her long-awaited debut as Desdemona.
