Patriots Owner Robert Kraft Funds NFL TV Ad About Standing Up ‘Against Jewish Hate’

By Jacob Gurvis

Robert Kraft, the New England Patriots owner who donates heavily to Jewish causes, funded an advertisement that ran during Sunday’s NFL matchup between the Patriots and the New York Jets urging NFL fans to “stand up against Jewish hate.”

The ad aired during a weekend in which NBA star Kyrie Irving shared a link to an antisemitic movie online and the message “Kanye is right about the jews” was projected at TIAA Bank Field in Jacksonville, Florida, during a college football game between the University of Florida and the University of Georgia.

“There are less than 8 million Jewish people in this country. Fewer than are watching this game,” read Kraft’s 30-second ad, which featured simple white text on a black background, set to ambient music. “They need you to add your voice.” It was produced jointly by the Foundation to Combat Antisemitism and Patriots owner Robert Kraft’s foundation.

“We must do more to make people aware that antisemitism is a growing threat against Jews on social media and in communities across the country,” Kraft said in a statement. “I have committed tremendous resources toward this effort and am vowing to do more. I encourage others to join in these efforts. My hope is this commercial will continue to enhance the national conversation about the need to speak out against hatred of all types, and particularly to stand up to Jewish hate.”

Kraft, whose estimated net worth is $10.6 billion, has donated millions of dollars to a variety of Jewish causes over the years — including Israel and numerous Jewish institutions and programs in Boston, where his late wife Myra was a longtime leader at the Jewish federation.

The ad follows the recent controversy surrounding rapper Kanye West, whose ongoing antisemitic tirades led to the termination of his highly lucrative contract with Adidas.

The Jacksonville stunt was just one of a handful of antisemitic incidents in the city this weekend, where the same message was displayed on another building and banners reading “End Jewish Supremacy in America” and “Honk if you know it’s the Jews” were displayed on Interstate 10. It is unclear how the Kanye statement was projected across the exterior of the Jacksonville stadium.

The University of Florida and the University of Georgia released a joint statement condemning the incident on Saturday.

“We strongly condemn the antisemitic hate speech projected outside TIAA Bank Field in Jacksonville after the Florida-Georgia football game Saturday night and the other antisemitic messages that have appeared in Jacksonville,” the universities said. “The University of Florida and the University of Georgia together denounce these and all acts of antisemitism and other forms of hatred and intolerance. We are proud to be home to strong and thriving Jewish communities at UGA and UF and we stand together against hate.”

Lee University To Present Chamber Music Showcase Nov. 10



Gloria Chien

Lee University’s School of Music will present Chamber Music Showcase on Thursday, Nov. 10, at 4:15 p.m. in Squires Recital Hall. The event will be co-directed by Dr. Gloria Chien, artist-in-residence at Lee, and Dr. ChoEun Lee, assistant professor of collaborative piano and vocal coaching at Lee.

“We are very excited to share a delightful program of chamber music with the Cleveland community and Lee family,” said Dr. Lee.

The showcase will include a diverse combination of instruments, from flute-marimba duo, horn-voice-piano trio to saxophone-voice-piano trio, as well as repertoires sung in German, French, and Russian. The concert will feature works by Nathan Daughtrey, Joaquín Nin, Richard Strauss, and Tchaikovsky, among others. 

Student instrumentalists include Laurie Alltop, flute; Allison Dupree, piano; Lynnae Eades, piano; Madeline Fowler, marimba; Sydney Gobble, horn; Jose Hairston, alto saxophone; and Ye Eun Kim, piano.

Student vocalists include Sophia McCosh, mezzo-soprano; Amanda Phillips, mezzo-soprano; Anaka Schmitt, mezzo-soprano; and Alleigh Watson, mezzo-soprano.

Lee University’s School of Music’s chamber music program focuses on classical music performed by small ensembles. The participating students audition and are placed into duos, trios, or other groupings. Throughout the semester, these ensembles meet with faculty members from Lee’s School of Music each week for coaching and critique. The Chamber Music Showcase highlights the achievements the chamber ensembles have made throughout the semester.

Dr. Chien is the co-artistic director of Chamber Music Northwest in Portland, Oregon, as well as the Lake Champlain Chamber Music Festival in Burlington, Vermont, along with her husband, violinist Soovin Kim. In the fall of 2009, she launched String Theory at The Hunter, a chamber music series at the Hunter Museum of American Art in downtown Chattanooga, as its founder and artistic director. For the last decade, Dr. Chien was the director of the Chamber Music Institute at Music@Menlo. She frequently appears with the Chamber Music Society and is a Steinway Artist.

Faculty at Lee since 2016, ChoEun has given numerous performances across the world in major venues including Carnegie Hall, Ozawa Hall (Tanglewood Music Center), and Harris Concert Hall (Aspen Music Festival). She was twice invited to the Tanglewood Music Festival and was named a recipient of the Grace B. Jackson Prize. She has been invited as a repetitor to the American Institute of Musical Studies in Graz and most recently, she world-premiered a co-commissioned vocal chamber music for soprano, saxophone, and piano by Lori Laitman in the National Opera Center in New York City.

This free concert is non-ticketed and open to the public.

Livestream viewing will be available at leeu.live/.

A Composer’s Diary: FFF week 10: Consume less


I would like to contribute to FFF (Fridays for Future) in my own way: by sharing one concrete action per week that YOU can do, and which I am trying to do, for combating climate change. 

FFF week 10: Consume less

WHY: Earth Overshoot Day marks the date when, according to calculations, people’s consumption exceeds the Earth’s biocapacity, or the capacity to generate renewable resources and process the carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere from the burning of fossil fuels. Finland already passed its own Overshoot Day last Saturday on 10th of April, which means if all people in the world would consume like people in Finland, we would need about four planet earths. It is estimated that when the corona crisis eases people will spend all the money they have saved while being at home, on shopping, which might be “great for the economy” but is terrible for our planet!

WHAT CAN I DO: Consume as little as possible. Buy second hand as often as possible, and things you need seldom you can rent or borrow. Take care of your possessions and electronics and prolong their life. If all Europeans for instance would use their phone one year longer than they do now, we would reduce our CO2 emissions by 2 million tons! (The same amount of emissions that 2 million cars make!).

Any personal tips on how to consume less? Please share!

K-POP HOTSPOT October 2022 – THP


Before we get into this month’s roundup we want to extend our condolences to the families and victims of the Itaewon incident. May they rest in peace.

Hello, honey bees who have a taste for the best honey, aka K-POP. It is time again for a new installment of your favorite THP feature – our K-POP HOTSPOT in October! So much happened this month, from debuts to comebacks and more, so this K-POP roundup is packed! Before we dive in, make sure to check out the comebacks we already covered, such as SUHO x MEW, ITZY, GI-DLE, STRAY KIDS, LE SSERAFIM, WONHO, KWON EUNBI, KEP1ER, DREAMCATCHER, MAMAMOO, TAN, TREASURE, ITZY, JAMIE, ONEWE, MX KIHYUN, and BTS JIN.

Before we get into the comebacks and debuts though, let’s have a look at what some of our favorite artists were up to! Girl groups killed it this month and XG is such a new cool group you need to check out, especially since Juria slayed this IU cover of ‘Dear Name!‘ Another girl group that is always slaying the game every month is our beloved aespa, and since we can’t wait for new music, it was super convenient that the group released two remix versions of their banger ‘Girls.’ Make sure you listen here.

With the music releases being top-notch this month we are always excited to see our faves live! Well, conveniently enough, one of our faves announced more tour dates just after they got nominated for four big international awards! SEVENTEEN will return to the Philippines and Indonesia for additional shows in December. Make sure you check for some leftover tickets! Another act we love and that just wrapped up their mega-watt tour is LOONA. They concluded their first world tour with a grand final concert which was held at the Handball Gymnasium in Seoul, South Korea on October 15th and 16th. We are so proud of these girls and hope they get their well-deserved rest! 

Okay, we are done, promise! Now, let’s get into many more amazing comebacks and debuts from October.

AB6IX

We really weren’t kidding when we said 2022 is AB6IX’s year! They’re back after less than two months with their sixth EP Take A Chance. The title track ‘Sugarcoat’ is a groovy bop that’s so fun to jam to, no matter what kind of mood you’re in! This quartet never fails to amaze us with their vocals and visuals.

DYNAMIC DUO

Have you ever wanted time to stop? We know that feeling all too well, and so does Dynamic Duo! Their newest single, ‘She Gonna Stop,’ featuring Leellamarz is such a cozy and catchy track. Gaeko and Choiza rap about not wasting your time feeling jealous and enjoying your life as much as possible. And we love how the title is a play on words with the Korean word for “time.”

KANG DANIEL

You know we are never not down for some new Kang Daniel music! This time he finally released his first Japanese EP, Joy Ride, which is as exciting as the title suggests. A joy to listen to and the b-sides have our attention, too. Daniel has become the master of R&B-meets-pop music and we are enjoying every second of it. The next question: Korean comeback when?

We, for sure, had this banger and b-side ‘Poison’ stuck on our playlists.

Everybody, it finally happened! Onc DKZ returned this summer after gaining more public recognition, they made a fast return with the moody rap-focused ‘Uh Heung.’ It’s the power anthem we have been waiting for, and they got their first win with this as well!

THE ROSE

The members of The Rose are all back together again, and they’ve just released their first full-length album, HEAL. We can honestly say it’s one of the most beautiful albums we’ve heard all year. The composition of each song is great, and our favorites are ‘Definition of ugly is,’ ‘Childhood,’ ‘See-Saw,’ and the title track, ‘Sour.’ There are ten incredible tracks that hold everything we’ve felt and everything we needed to hear. This one’s for all those who are heartbroken, healing, and/or hopeful.

NU’EST BAEKHO

Everybody, stay calm! Baekho just made his solo debut this month with his EP, Absolute Zero! The title track ‘No Rules’ is a sultry song about two lovers meeting in secret (wink), and our favorite b-side tracks are ‘Love Burn’ and ‘Bad 4 U.’ Baekho shows off his charms as well as his beautiful falsettos in this mini-album.

PARK JIHOON

Did someone ask for a new retro synth banger? We for sure did and Park Jihoon has more than provided with ‘Nitro.’ Yes, we freaked out seeing the Belgrade-based music video for this bop, but we lost it even more over the red hair and piercings! Jihoon, that’s your best look yet! But yes, ‘Nitro’ has made our October more than perfect and the entire mini album seems to be The Answer to all of our questions.

UP10TION

UP10TION kills it with another bangin’ mini-album, and we can’t think of a comeback when they didn’t deliver. Their 11th EP, Code Name: Arrow, exceeds all our expectations, which were already high thanks to the rest of their discography. ‘What If Love’ is an addictive title track with a music video that could be a movie!

VIXX RAVI

Name another idol who has a whole block party before enlisting in the military. Wait, we can’t, because no one’s doing it like Ravi! Ravi knows how to go out with a bang and his latest single, ‘Block Party,’ is the definition of a banger! His rap verses are unmatched and we always love music videos where everyone’s dancing and having fun. We’ll miss Ravi while he’s away, but we know the next 18 months of us replaying his discography will fly by.

LEE CHANHYUK

Lee Chanhyuk takes us back to the 80s with the vibes on his first solo album, Error! The title track, ‘Panorama,’ is a bop with contrasting lyrics about life ending before you’ve had the chance to live it. It’s an important reminder to make choices you won’t regret later. You should also know that he co-composed all 11 songs on the album, on top of writing the lyrics to each one himself! We think it’s clear that Lee Chanhyuk is a man of many talents.

N.FLYING

This new N.Flying really came at the right time. We love this band so much at THP, and with Jaehyun and Hun having to soon report for their military service, this comeback is bittersweet. ‘I like you’ offers us the well-beloved N.Flying sound – the guys have perfected this genre of pop-rock music with a touch of killer vocals and dramatic and cute lyrics. We for sure will miss the boys. Thankfully ‘Monster’ is here to keep us company until they are back as one.

IVE

IVE’s debut was one of the most anticipated K-Pop events of 2021, and they still have yet to disappoint us! Their debut single, ‘Eleven,’ is an absolute hit and we love every second of it. The best part is that they’ve given us the Japanese version of the track for their Japanese debut! (Spoiler alert, it’s still a bop). The accompanying music video is beautiful, just like the original, and the girls look stunning. Not to mention, we also got a new, original Japanese track, ‘Queen of Hearts,’ and we’re in love with it too. Congrats on your Japanese debut, IVE!

WEI

After listening to Love PT.2: Passion, we’re sure we can all collectively agree that WEi is on ‘Higher Ground.’ From explosive energy to cheerfulness, this mini album has it all! It’s a perfect addition to their previous release, Love Pt.1: First Love, as listening to the albums in order will walk you through the stages of love, both the wholesomeness of having a first love to the intense feelings that come with being in a romantic relationship. We loved listening to WEi’s incredible vocals, and we can’t wait to see what else they have in store for RUi.

The queen of light, soft pop vocals is back with probably our favorite song of hers so far. ‘Loveable’ is not only our favorite adjective when we want to describe Jo Yuri but it is also a fantastic song.

Review: S.F. Symphony ushers in Halloween with a spooky tea party

Scariness is always appropriate for the advent of Halloween, but it comes in different varieties. In addition to the obvious sort of chills and thrills that are the province of ghost stories or slasher flicks, there’s the eerie unease that comes when things are just a little bit off.

That brand of spookiness is the province of “Frankenstein!!,” the wonderfully oddball cabaret entertainment by the Austrian composer HK Gruber that served as the headline attraction of the San Francisco Symphony’s concert in Davies Symphony Hall on Thursday, Oct. 27. The piece doesn’t trade in obvious chills, but it gets under your skin in a way that’s both unsettling and hilarious.

“Frankenstein!!” is a 30-minute suite of numbers for orchestra with a singing, speaking and caterwauling vocal soloist (Gruber prefers the term “chansonnier”). Written in 1977 and performed frequently ever since, it features a series of verses by the Austrian poet HC Artmann, done in English translation.

The title character is mentioned prominently, but so are a host of other familiar names from the pop-cultural imagination of a midcentury child. Some are straight out of the monster pantheon: a werewolf, a baby vampire, the gender-bending “Miss Dracula.” But also on hand are Batman and Robin, John Wayne, Goldfinger and his pal “Jimmy Bond.”

As for what these Halloween archetypes actually do, your guess is as good as mine. Artmann’s poems are singsong doggerel, cast in short rhyming lines, and they pursue a fantasy logic that is as hard to fully grasp as it is to resist.

Monster races down the stairs
Grubby hands, disheveled hair
So that’s why he never lingers
There’s blood on his dainty fingers

What makes the piece so delightful is Gruber’s musical setting, which matches the text whim for whim. The score is full of instrumental foibles — penny whistles, whirling plastic tubes, a percussionist inflating and popping paper bags as a rhythmic device. At one point, Gruber writes an extended, beautiful duet for kazoo and trombone.

Between the puckish musical effects and the parade of characters trooping through the text, “Frankenstein!!” has the effect of a Halloween tea party for some slightly bloodthirsty dolls. It’s like a Tim Burton remake of “Toy Story.”

Why is scary music so effective? It’s speaking to our subconscious

Beneath the childish surface, though, there’s some kind of emotional turmoil that’s all the more effective for being so elusive. The versions of Superman and Lois Lane who are mentioned here aren’t anyone we know; they’re not even Halloween-costume riffs on themselves. The verses date from the tumultuous year 1968, and Gruber claims that the piece boasts a hidden political undercurrent, so that may be what sets the piece so convincingly off-kilter.

Music Director Esa-Pekka Salonen and the orchestra played with pointed clarity, but the chief thrill of the performance came from the British baritone Christopher Purves, who delivered the solo part in a burst of droll virtuosity.

The only other time the Symphony has played “Frankenstein!!” was in 2006, when Gruber himself was the soloist and infused the piece with an air of genial menace. Purves, his head largely buried in the score, didn’t quite exhibit the same level of interpretive freedom, but his blend of robust operatic singing and insinuating bedtime-story recitations made a formidable combination.

In one movement, Gruber conjures up a dialogue between a man and a woman, the one deep in the bass register and the other crooning in a wheedling falsetto. Purves rendered it flawlessly.

The evening marked the Symphony’s second consecutive week of roughly Halloween-themed programming, following last week’s death-haunted collection of music by Mussorgsky, Liszt and Berlioz. For the first half, Salonen led the orchestra’s strings in Bernard Herrmann’s music for “Psycho,” and the suite from Bartók’s 1919 ballet “The Miraculous Mandarin.”

Both pieces lean rather heavily on their plots for real scariness, and contemporary audiences are more likely to be conversant with “Psycho” than “Mandarin.” (In Hermann’s piece, the sudden arrival of the shrieking string effects that accompany the film’s famous shower scene prompted chuckles of familiarity from the audience.)

There was little to complain about in the performances, but both works include some long, rather flaccid stretches alongside passages of genuine excitement. It wasn’t until after intermission that the evening — now plunged into chilling darkness — truly came alive.

San Francisco Symphony: 7:30 p.m. Friday-Saturday, Oct. 28-29. $35-$165. Davies Symphony Hall, 201 Van Ness Ave., S.F. 415-864-6000. www.sfsymphony.org

Portland radio executive known as ‘Country Bob’ dies at 90

The music and cultural scene in Greater Portland owes a debt to “Country Bob.”

Robert Gold, a longtime radio executive who purchased local station WPOR in 1971 and used it to bring country music to Maine airwaves, died last month at age 90. A celebration of life will be held this week for family and friends.

His legacy, though, lives on, according to those who knew him, even if locally owned radio stations like the one he built have become a relic of the past.

“He lived and breathed radio,” said Bob Fuller, who owned another well-known Portland station, WBLM, when Gold was turning WPOR into a country juggernaut. “Like all of us who succeeded in radio, he worked at it. He put a lot of hours in. There was no alternative.”

Fuller said he and Gold were technically rivals but had vastly different audiences so they were always cordial. WBLM was, and still is, a classic rock station. They formed a friendship that lasted 60 years.

“Even now, whenever I tell people that I lived in Portland and had radio stations here, people often will say, ‘Do you know Bob Gold?’ ” Fuller said.

Gold was born and raised in Portland and had a deep affection for his community. Before buying WPOR, he worked for former Maine Gov. Horace Hildreth, who owned a broadcasting company after his political career.

“He took his responsibility of owning a station very seriously,” said Kimberley Sheppard, Gold’s daughter. “He really understood that it was the responsibility of the station – and the people who ran it, of course – to take care of the public.”

By the 1960s, country music had started to branch more into mainstream culture with artists like Loretta Lynn, George Jones and Merle Haggard. But it was hard to find on radio stations in the Northeast until Gold came along and transformed WPOR.

“He saw that it was working in other markets, and there was a hole here, so he filled that void,” Fuller said.

In the early days of owning the station – before concert promoters – Gold also was responsible for bringing big-name country music acts to what was then City Hall Auditorium, now called Merrill Auditorium. Sheppard remembers meeting Lynn, who died this month, at the station before the show.

“She couldn’t have been more kind,” she said. “She came with her husband (Doolittle Lynn) and talked about her upbringing. I’m sure she said the same thing to every radio station, but she was just a gem.”

Sheppard also remembers her father bringing in Jerry Lee Lewis, the rockabilly pioneer known just as much for his insatiable interest in (young) women as he was for his hit song “Great Balls of Fire.” Lewis died just last week.

“When Jerry Lee came, I was a teenager and he almost made a beeline for me,” Sheppard recalled. “My father grabbed me and said, ‘Stay away from him.’ ”

Bonnie Grant, who worked with Gold for 21 years at WPOR, starting as a salesperson and ending as general manager, said his success as a leader was in hiring similarly decided people and empowering them.

“A lot of us worked for him for over 20 years, I think that says a lot about Bob,” she said. “He created a team that became a family.”

Grant said when she first interviewed with Gold, he asked her if she liked country music. She did not.

“He said, ‘Oh, you will.’ And he was right,” she said.

Tom Hennessey was another longtime WPOR employee. He started in 1975 and had come over from WCSH radio.

“He was a tough boss but a really principled guy,” he said. “And he loved the music business and the show biz aspect of what we did. I used to go to conventions all over the country with him, including in Nashville. They all loved Bob.”

Another example of Gold’s commitment to community was a segment he created for WPOR called “The Big Deal.” It would run every weekend and listeners could call in and describe items they wanted to sell and leave their number for others to contact if they were interested. It was like a call-in yard sale. It was Facebook Marketplace long before that site existed.

Fuller said Gold was a savvy broadcast executive who succeeded because he understood both his audience and his advertisers.

“In the early days, we were fighting over the same advertising dollars but as clients matured, they realized different formats worked for different businesses,” he said. “Many wanted that country audience, and Bob recognized that.”

Growing up, Sheppard remembers listeners would call their house thinking they could request a song from the radio station’s owner. Her father always took the call.

He was involved with the Children’s Miracle Network and other philanthropic causes over the years and served on the board of the Maine Association of Broadcasters. In his spare time, which was indeed spare, he played golf and raised three children, Sheppard and his sons, James and Jeffrey, with his wife, Durelle, who died in 2000.

Gold sold WPOR in 1996 to Saga Communications, which still owns the station and seven others in Maine, but stayed on for a few years as a manager before retiring.

Even though Gold was a high-level executive, he relished his nickname, “Country Bob.”

“He never grew into being a big shot,” his daughter said. “He was always grounded and humble about it.”

LIVE! A Music Calendar featuring the final shows at Roots HQ


The Northwest Arkansas Jazz Society presents a Centennial Tribute Concert celebrating the music of Toots Thielemans at 7 p.m. Nov. 4 at Roots HQ on the Fayetteville square, one of the last shows before the venue closes up shop. Pianist Kenny Werner and harmonica master Grégoire Maret will perform a tribute to the jazz legend, who would have turned 100 this year.

Werner has been a world-class pianist and composer for over 40 years, earning a Grammy nomination in 2003 in the Best Instrumental Composition category. In 2010, Werner was awarded the Guggenheim Fellowship, and in 1995 he was commissioned to compose a piano concerto dedicated to Duke Ellington. He performed as pianist for Thielemans for over 20 years.

Swiss-born Grammy-winner Maret has a resume that includes Prince, Marcus Miller, Kurt Elling, Pete Seeger, Cassandra Wilson and more. For this tribute performance to his mentor and inspiration, Maret says the duo will “find new places where his spirit is truly honored, but his music is being played through a new prism.”

Werner and Maret will honor Thielemans, who passed away in 2016 at 94 with songs written by or associated with him, like “Bluesette,”http://www.bing.com/news/”Midnight Sun,”http://www.bing.com/news/”Theme from Midnight Cowboy,”http://www.bing.com/news/”I Do It For Your Love,” and “What a Wonderful World.” One of the most recognizable sounds in jazz history, Thielemans made the harmonica into a legitimate jazz instrument, recording more than 30 albums and working with artists including Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, Bill Evans, Ella Fitzgerald and Pat Metheny.

Tickets start at $30 for general admission and are available at digjazz.com/events. The NAJS also hosts Jazz at the University at the University of Arkansas Global Campus at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 4 with the Vocal Jazz Ensemble.
