2 Broadway Musicals: A Jewish Legacy Tuesday, Jan. 1 8:30PM Why has the Broadway musical proven to be such fertile territory for Jewish artists of all kinds? From Broadway s golden age, names like Irving Berlin, Jerome Kern, the Gershwins, Arthur Laurents, Jerome Robbins, Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim immediately come to mind. More recently, Broadway babies such as Stephen Schwartz, Marc Shaiman and Andrew Lippa represent a sampling of the Jewish talents who continue to leave their mark on musical theater. From Vienna: The New Year s Celebration 2013 Tuesday, Jan. 1 7PM Always one of Great Performances favorite things, the cherished tradition of ringing in the New Year with special host Julie Andrews and the Vienna Philharmonic continues. With guest conductor Franz Welser-Möst wielding the baton at the opulent Musikverein, the program features everyone s favorite Strauss Family waltzes and the dancers of the Vienna City Ballet. In addition to the Musikverein setting, the broadcast features a range of picturesque Vienna landmarks. Paul Simon s Graceland Journey Friday, Jan. 4 8PM Paul Simon s Graceland album, an experiment in crosscultural collaboration, was also commercially popular, selling 14 million albums worldwide and winning Grammys for Album of the Year and Song of the Year for the title track. Today, it s considered one of the most significant recordings of its time. But why was Graceland so controversial in 1986? Why did Simon face such vehement criticism? In 2011, filmmaker Joe Berlinger accompanied Simon on his return to South Africa to reunite and perform with several of the musicians involved in the original album, capturing Simon s unique homecoming as he reflects on the landmark events.
