Today it’s as much a part of Thanksgiving tradition as cranberry sauce. For the first time in a decade, folk icon Arlo Guthrie brings The Alice’s Restaurant Massacree in its entirety to the stage. On the 50th anniversary of Arlo’s arrest for littering, WXXI-TV presents this special concert. ALICE’S RESTAURANT 50TH ANNIVERSARY CONCERT THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 26 AT 8 P.M. ON WXXI-TV

In recognition of Veterans Day, WXXI will present a remarkable documentary at the Little Theatre on November 10 at 6:30 p.m. American St. Nick tells the true story of a handful of American soldiers who, during the chaos of war, brought Christmas back to the children of a small Luxembourg town – and helped preserve a holiday tradition that continues to this day. The screening will be followed by a discussion with the American St. Nick Richard Brookins (a Pittsford resident), documentarian Tim Gray, and American St. Nick author Peter Lion. You can learn more about the screening at WXXI.org/ events. WXXI-TV will also be airing this film next month, so be sure to look for it in your December Program listings.

American St. Nick is presented by WXXI’s Veterans Connections in partnership with M&T Bank. Our Veterans Connections initiative is designed to help bridge military and veteran needs with community support and awareness. Through special TV, radio and online programming, documentary films, group discussions, news features, and a comprehensive web site (WXXI.org/veterans), Veterans Connections works to create a community platform to connect veterans with valuable resources.

November is a time of thanks and we have much to be thankful for including your support of WXXI and the Little Theatre. Our work throughout the year – including projects like CPR in America and American St. Nick couldn’t be accomplished without the generosity of our members. Thank you, and best wishes for a happy and healthy holiday!

Best Regards,

The 2015-2016 season of the Metropolitan Opera radio broadcasts begins on December 5, with its new host, Mary Jo Heath behind the microphone, as the fourth full-time radio host in the Met’s history. The announcement came in August 2015 when Heath, who was senior radio producer for the Met for nine seasons, was named to succeed Margaret Juntwait, who passed ... Meet Mary Jo Heath: away in June. If her name rings a bell, that’s because she served as a host at Voice of the WXXI-FM while she was working on her Ph.D. in Music Theory Metropolitan Opera at the Eastman School of Music in the late 1980s. Mary Jo is “obnoxiously proud of being from Norman, Oklahoma” where How do you get from Norman, she received two degrees in music. She took piano lessons for Oklahoma to the Met? 20 years and voice for 10, and her teachers there encouraged Via Rochester of course! her to “jump into a bigger pond.” Once she got to Eastman, she –By Ruth Phinney, enrolled in voice lessons “just for fun and to keep me practicing” Classical 91.5 Program Director and told us, “It was a lucky bit of serendipity that they assigned me to (study with) Renée (Fleming).” Heath says that she never sang with Renée, except during those lessons, and she’s never sung on the Met stage either. “It’s scary enough to stand out there. I have GREAT respect for the singers who go out there and give their all every night.” When asked her if a Ph.D. in Music Theory helps her in her hosting, Heath said, she approaches the broadcast by starting “with the opera score – looking through it, listening, taking notes. That’s a different starting point from my commentators, and it makes for some interesting discussions.” Preparation for the Saturday matinees begins in the summer when commentator Ira Siff delivers his ideas for commentary to senior producer Ellen Keel, who starts to combine them with the synopsis. During the fall, the team reviews every single script, refining and working through new ideas. Heath says that she is honored to have been chosen to follow these “wonderful hosts who brought their own personalities, experiences and points of view to the job,” and expects she’ll find her own rhythm once she has some broadcasts under her belt. “For me, coming to work and hearing the best singers and the best opera orchestra in the world every day is really inspiring.” When asked what her former teacher and long-time friend Renée Fleming said when the announcement of her appointment came out, Heath said, “I got a lovely text from her – she was thrilled.” We at WXXI are thrilled for her as well, and we all look forward to hearing Mary Jo every week on the Metropolitan Opera Radio Broadcasts, Saturdays
