He was the voice of Classical 91.5 on Christmas Eve, keeping listeners company into the wee hours of the morning as they wrapped presents and prepared for Christmas morning. On New Year’s Eve he presented his annual broadcast, “A Night of Smiles,” where he was nicknamed the “Waltz King” because of the many Strauss waltzes he played that evening.

Outside the station, Mordecai guest conducted many RPYO marathons, performed solos on the vacuum cleaner (that’s right, a vacuum), and narrated a number of works with the RPO, the Rochester Chamber Music Society and the Eastman School.

He retired from Classical 91.5 in 2008, but remained active in the music scene, attending RPO concerts and participating in the Xerox Rochester International Jazz Fest’s late night jam sessions.

During a celebration of Mordecai’s 25th anniversary at WXXI, he said “I am very proud to have served the community through Classical 91.5 for so many years. This station is more important to our community now than it ever was. Our classical music is heard by more people of all ages, particularly young people, and it has had a considerable effect on the level of culture in Rochester.” We couldn’t agree more.

Our community’s deep appreciation for the arts is why WXXI has one of the most listened-to Classical public radio stations in the country. As Classical 91.5 celebrates its 40th anniversary this year, we look forward to bringing you more fine Classical music, like Mordecai always selected, for years to come.

Thank you for your support for all we do!

Best regards,

Norm Silverstein, WXXI President [email protected] Q&A with a WXXI underwriter In 1978 the four Lechner brothers began mowing lawns in their Rochester neighborhood to earn extra income. As other opportunities in the landscape area began to develop, an entrepreneurial spirit among the brothers blossomed into a family landscaping business. Clover Lawn & Landscape is now approaching 30 years of service in the Greater Rochester area. Custom landscape design, installation of walkways and patios, and planting selection from their nursery are just a few of the services available. Doug Lechner offered some insights into the family operations: Q. How would you describe Clover Lawn & Landscape? We are a family-run business with family values as the foundation.

Q. What would you like the WXXI audience to know about Clover Lawn & Landscape? We develop landscapes and relationships with our customers that last a lifetime. Q. What distinguishes Clover Lawn & Landscape from other similar businesses in the Greater Rochester area? We feel the quality of our work and customer service sets us apart. We are proud of the high percentage of repeat requests from former clients and referrals. Q. What benefits are associated with operating the Clover Nursery & Garden Center? The Clover Nursery & Garden Center provides the ability to purchase plants Dr. Lonnie Smith Trio and materials from only the best nursery suppliers from across the U.S. Q. What do you consider the most important business practice for your business? We do what we say!

Ken Burns’ THE ADDRESS, which premieres Tuesday, April 15 at 8 p.m. on WXXI-TV, tells the story of a tiny school in Putney, Vermont, the THE ADDRESS Greenwood School, where each year the students are encouraged to memorize, practice and recite the Gettysburg Address. In its exploration of Greenwood, whose students, boys ages 11-17, all face a range of complex learning differences; the film also unlocks the history, context and importance of President Lincoln’s most powerful address. In celebration of the film and to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Gettysburg Address, WXXI has joined Ken Burns’ and PBS’ national public outreach campaign to challenge everyone across the country, especially students to submit their recordings. We encourage kids and adults of all ages to learn the 272-word Gettysburg Address, and video record themselves reading or reciting it. You can submit your video online at WXXI.org/theaddress. On Monday, April 14 at 7 p.m. WXXI will host a preview screening of THE ADDRESS and share several local Gettysburg Address videos already submitted by those in our community at the Little Theatre, theatre 1 (240 East Avenue, Rochester). This event is free and open to the public. Seats are first come, first served. Local funding for this project is provided in part by:

It’s a “take a book, return a book” gathering place where neighbors share their favorite literature and stories. In its most basic form, a Little Free Library is a box full of books where anyone may stop by and pick up a book (or two) and bring back another book to share.

In an effort to promote literacy and the love of reading, WXXI is proud to have its own Little Free Library, located in the lobby of our studios at 280 State Street in downtown Rochester. Special thanks to WXXI volunteer Mark Becker, who designed and built our own Little Library, and WXXI Volunteer Leadership Council Chairman Richard Vuillequez, who provided funds to purchase the materials for the structure.
