Reading: Excerpt from “Amazing Peace” by Maya Angelou O Come, O Come, Emmanuel Veni veni, Emmanuel O come desire of nations, bind Captivum solve Israel, In one the hearts of humankind: Qui gemit in exsilio, Bid every strife and quarrel cease Privatus Dei Filio. And fill the world with heaven’s peace. Gaude! Gaude! Emmanuel Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel nascetur pro te Israel. Shall come to thee O Israel. O come, o come, Emmanuel And ransom captive Israel, That mourns in lonely exile here Until the Son of God appear. Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee O Israel. Once in Royal David’s City Once in royal David’s city And our eyes at last shall see him, Stood a lowly cattle shed, Through his own redeeming love; Where a mother laid her baby For that child so dear and gentle In a manger for his bed: Is our Lord in heav’n above, Mary was that mother mild, And he leads his children on Jesus Christ her little child. To the place where he is gone. He came down to earth from heaven, Who is God and Lord of all, And his shelter was a stable, And his cradle was a stall; With the poor, and mean, and lowly, Lived on earth our Savior holy. Reading: Excerpt from “Amazing Peace” by Maya Angelou 5 This Little Babe This little babe so few days old Of shepherds he his muster makes Is come to rifle Satan's fold; And thus as sure his foe to wound All hell doth at his presence quake The angels' trumps alarum sound Though he himself for cold do shake; My soul with Christ For in this weak unarmed wise Join thou in fight; The gates of hell he will surprise Stick to the tents With tears he fights and wins the field That he hath pight His naked breast steads for a shield Within his crib His battering shot are babish cries Is surest ward; His arrows looks of weeping eyes This little Babe His martial ensigns Cold and Need Will by thy guard And feeble flesh his warrior's steed If thou wilt foil thy His camp is pitched in a stall Foes with joy, then His bulwark but a broken wall; Flit not from this The crib his trench, haystalks his stakes Heavenly boy!

Launched by Alsop and the BSO in 2017, the New Music Festival brings contemporary classical music to Baltimore from June 19-22. The 2019 New Music Festival celebrates women composers ahead of the BSO’s 2019-20 season, which highlights women in music in conjunction with the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage in the U.S. Performances include the Baltimore premiere of Jennifer Higdon’s Low Brass Concerto, a BSO co- commission, as well as the world premiere of Anna Clyne’s cello concerto, Dance, with Inbal Segev. “I’m thrilled that this year’s New Music Festival features such an outstanding group of contemporary composers, who happen to be women!” said Alsop. “Each piece of music that we’ve programmed tells a unique and compelling story, and we are proud to present a range of voices and perspectives that showcases some of the most inspired work happening in classical composition today.” The 2019 New Music Festival kicks off on Wednesday, June 19 when composer Sarah Kirkland Snider participates in a discussion on her composition process at Red Emma’s Bookstore Café. On Thursday, June 20, Associate Conductor Nicholas Hersh leads members of the BSO and Shara Nova, also known as My Brightest Diamond, in a free concert at the Ottobar.

Most analyses of public radio listening examine the performance of individual stations within this large mix, the contributions of specific national programs, or aggregate numbers for the system as a whole. This report takes a different approach. Through an extensive, multi-year study of 228 stations that generate about 80% of public radio’s audience, we review patterns of listening to groups of stations categorized by the formats that they present. We find that stations that pursue different format strategies – news, classical, jazz, AAA, and the principal combinations of these – have experienced significantly different patterns of audience growth in recent years and important differences in key audience behaviors such as loyalty and time spent listening. This quantitative study complements qualitative research that the Station Resource Group, in partnership with Public Radio Program Directors, and others have pursued on the values and benefits listeners perceive in different formats and format combinations. Key findings of The Public Radio Format Study include: • In a time of relentless news cycles and a near abandonment of news by many commercial stations, public radio’s news and information stations have seen a 55% increase in their average audience from Spring 1999 to Fall 2004.
