2 PATTERNS ∙ AUGUST 2020 New Prairie Performances for Friday nights

As part of our mission to provide arts access to everyone in , we wanted to offer more opportunities to help local orchestras share their performances when it’s not possible to gather at concert halls. And, of course, we thought of Prairie Performances—our Friday night program hosted by Roger Cooper—that has for many decades played concerts from orchestras across Illinois. Therefore, this month we are releasing four recent concerts, one each from Champaign-Urbana Symphony Orchestra, Illinois Symphony Orchestra, Millikin-Decatur Symphony Orchestra, and Sinfonia da Camera, to refresh our hearts and minds and to deliver great music, well performed by our friends and neighbors across the state. Tune in to WILL-FM 90.9 at 7 pm on Friday nights in August to hear some of classical music’s most cherished works, cleverly programmed with less familiar pieces to compliment them. You can find the listings on pages 4-5 of Patterns.

In early fall, we hope to program more recent performances from area symphonies, so stay tuned!

One more chance to see your favorites!

Lin-Manuel Miranda’s debut Making it in is tough. Few get the chance to live out their dreams, and the cast and crew of In the Heights know this all too well. This young, diverse group of relatively unknown artists and performers dreamed of making it on Broadway, but are well aware that a new original musical set outside a bodega in the Latino neighborhood of Washington Heights is a highly risky proposition. It took eight years in all, but they succeeded beyond their wildest expectations, winning four Tony Awards along the way, including Best Musical and Best Score for a Musical. In the Heights: Chasing Broadway Dreams chronicles the personal stories of /lyricist Lin-Manuel Miranda and the cast of In the Heights in the months leading up to its 2008 opening night. The Great Performances event airs at 8 pm Friday, August 7.

Great Performances returns to the gardens of Schönbrunn Palace for the Vienna Philharmonic Summer Night Concert 2019 at 8 pm Friday, August 28. The program features popular selections from both European and American and is dedicated to the musical connection between continents: the old world of Europe and the new world of America. The program includes ’s overture to Candide and American classics such as John Philipp Sousa’s The Stars and Stripes Forever. Renowned pianist (left) joins the orchestra for George Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue, and performs Chopin’s Waltz in C Sharp Minor, Op. 64 #2 for an encore.

10 PATTERNS ∙ AUGUST 2020 Lincoln Center Theater’s critically acclaimed 2015 production of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s The King and I airs on Great Performances at 8 pm Friday, August 21. The year is 1862, and East and West collide when British schoolteacher Anna Leonowens arrives in Siam to take up her post instructing the royal household of children from the King’s several wives. Despite her sharp wit and strong will, nothing has prepared Anna for the lessons this rich and complicated new land has to teach her—or for the powerful connection she will forge with its imperious but conflicted King.

The original face of children’s television

One of the most celebrated theatrical releases of 2018, Won’t You Be My Neighbor? takes an intimate look at America’s favorite neighbor: Fred Rogers. The documentary tells the story of a soft-spoken minister, puppeteer, writer, and producer whose show was beamed daily into homes across America for more than 30 years. In his beloved television program, Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, Rogers and his cast of puppets and friends spoke directly to young children about some of life’s weightiest issues in a simple, direct fashion. There hadn’t been anything like Mister Rogers on television before, and there hasn’t been since. Independent Lens presents an encore of the documentary at 7 pm Monday, August 31.
