Orchestral performance may be the best example
anywhere of the happy results from harmonious collaboration. Every
New York Philharmonic performance represents the magic that is
created when these 106 magnificent musicians combine their talents
with that of a conductor to bring to life the vision of a composer.
Also enriching our offerings on stage and off are partnerships with
soloists, composers, recording partners, tour presenters, our loyal
audiences, and the list goes on. Surely the 2006–07 season — the sixth
year in our collaboration with our Music Director, Lorin Maazel —
reflects some of the strongest partnerships in our history.
The Philharmonic’s behind-the-scenes team of Board and Staff
has also worked together assiduously for less visible but no less
important results. In the 2006–07 season our attendance rose to
88 percent of capacity, up from 84 percent the preceding year and
from 78 percent the year before that. Over those two years, ticket sales
have increased by more than $5.4 million. Still, we know that it takes
more than this to defray our costs, and thanks to our fundraising
team the Annual Fund reached a record-breaking $21.5 million, a 15
percent increase over the previous year. All of this contributed to a
significant reduction in our deficit, from $2.041 million in 2006 to
$767,000 in 2007.
Also during the season the Board approved the beginning of the
Campaign to Secure the Future of the Philharmonic, with the objective
of raising $75 million. We are delighted that the Starr Foundation set
this off to a marvelous start with an initial gift of $15 million; others
have followed suit, bringing us halfway to our goal so far.
None of this would be possible without the generosity of our government, corporate, and private donors. In the summer of 2007 the
ranks of these benefactors swelled: our new Board Member, Oscar
Schafer, and his wife, Didi, made a five-year pledge of extraordinary
support for our Concerts in the Parks; Russell and Judy Carson made a
record-breaking pledge toward our Education programs; and we
announced that Credit Suisse would be the Philharmonic’s first-ever
and exclusive Global Sponsor beginning in the 2007–08 season.
These and the gifts from thousands of individuals make it possible
for the New York Philharmonic to continue in its paramount undertaking: to offer the best music at the very highest level.

Musical Alliance: Lorin Maazel & the Philharmonic
Lorin Maazel’s professional partnership
with
the New York Philharmonic began in 1942, when he was only 12 years
old and led a program of Mozart, Beethoven, and Tchaikovsky at
Lewisohn Stadium, then the Orchestra’s summer venue. He would
return to lead the Orchestra as a guest conductor in 114 concerts
before becoming Music Director in September 2002.
The 2006–07 season saw a particularly rich result from these
decades of collaboration. Mr. Maazel shared his knowledge of the
symphonic masters, including a celebration of the centennial of
Shostakovich’s birth, and a three-part survey of the music of Brahms.
His vast experience as an opera conductor brought to Philharmonic
audiences critically acclaimed performances of Ravel’s one-act opera,
L’Enfant et les sortilèges; and his admiration for the virtuosos of the
Philharmonic prompted a program that placed the spotlight on
Principal Flute Robert Langevin, Principal Harp Nancy Allen,
Principal Trombone Joseph Alessi, and Principal Horn Philip Myers
and his horn section colleagues R. Allen Spanjer, Erik Ralske, and
Howard Wall.
Mr. Maazel also reaffirmed his ties to two past Philharmonic
maestros: Arturo Toscanini and Gustav Mahler. He conducted a gala
concert with the New York Philharmonic and another ensemble that
he helms, the Symphonica Toscanini; that event established and
endowed the Philharmonic’s Arturo Toscanini Associate Conductor
Chair. At the conclusion of the season, Mr. Maazel conducted
Mahler’s Symphony No. 7, a work that showcases the virtuosity of
the New York Philharmonic.

“I have unbounded admiration for the
quality of this Orchestra, the technical
capacity of each individual in it, and
their — for want of a better word —
esprit de corps. They’re very proud to
belong to this Orchestra. They have a
great sense of mission, and this pride
exhibits itself at every moment.”
— Lorin Maazel

share the stage with the world’s great conductors and soloists. Some
are longtime friends; others are newer discoveries whose careers are
ascending, in part due to their appearances with the Philharmonic.
The 2006–07 season was the second in three-year agreements with
three of today’s leading conductors for each to lead multiple weeks
each season. Riccardo Muti conducted four weeks of concerts; on
July 18, 2007, the Philharmonic announced that, beginning in the
2009–10 season, he will lead the Orchestra in even more concerts, both
at its Avery Fisher Hall home and on tour. Also returning were David
Robertson and Alan Gilbert, who each led two weeks of programs.
Two former Philharmonic Music Directors, Zubin Mehta and
Music Director Emeritus Kurt Masur, returned to the Orchestra. Sir
Colin Davis led two weeks of concerts that included a celebration of
his 80th birthday. Bramwell Tovey, who for the fourth consecutive
season helmed the Philharmonic’s Summertime Classics series, both
as conductor and raconteur, also joined the Orchestra for subscription concerts, and he was one of the conductors to lead the Orchestra
at the Bravo! Vail Valley Music Festival in July.
The New York Philharmonic’s long-standing collaborations with
today’s leading soloists brought together pianists Emanuel Ax and
Yefim Bronfman with Lorin Maazel and the Orchestra for the season’s Gala Opening Night Concert; there were subsequent returns by
Mr. Ax, for the Philharmonic Festival: Brahms the Romantic and on
tour in May, and by Mr. Bronfman, for the World Premiere–New York
Philharmonic Commission of Esa-Pekka Salonen’s Piano Concerto.
Other returning friends included pianists Leon Fleisher, Lang Lang,
and Mitsuko Uchida; violinists Anne-Sophie Mutter, Itzhak Perlman,

Future Partnership: Alan Gilbert & the Orchestra
Collaborative Inspirations: Composers, Performers & Commissioners
The commissioning and premiering
of a new
work requires profound creative collaboration among the composer,
the conductor, the soloist, the ensemble, and the commissioning
organization. In 2006–07 the New York Philharmonic played a role in
bringing to the stage four new pieces, three of them co-commissions.
In February the Orchestra unveiled Pulitzer Prize–winning
composer Melinda Wagner’s Trombone Concerto, which the
Philharmonic commissioned for Principal Trombone Joseph Alessi;
Lorin Maazel conducted. In the season’s first subscription concerts
he led the U.S. Premiere of Hans Werner Henze’s Sebastian im
Traum, a co-commission with the Eduard van Beinum Stichting,
Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, and Tonhalle-Gesellschaft (Zurich).
In December David Robertson joined forces with mezzo-soprano
Patricia Bardon for the U.S. Premiere of Kaija Saariaho’s Adriana
Songs, co-commissioned with the Auftakt Festival, Alte Oper
Frankfurt, and the Orchestra Sinfonica Nazionale della RAI; the performances included a Hear & Now discussion hosted by composer
Steven Stucky. The next Hear & Now and its accompanying subscription concerts saw the World Premiere of Esa-Pekka Salonen’s Piano
Concerto, dedicated to Yefim Bronfman, and a joint commission by
the Philharmonic, The BBC, Radio France, and NDR Hamburg; the
composer conducted and the dedicatee was the soloist.

“This is the orchestra I feel closest to in the world, these are the musicians for
whom I have the highest regard in the world. To be given this vote of confidence
is more than thrilling. I look forward to continuing to work with this greatest
of orchestras, and to meeting and developing a close rapport with New York
City’s music-loving public.” — Alan Gilbert

Native New Yorker Alan Gilbert, age 40, the son of
two Philharmonic violinists, was named the New York Philharmonic’s next Music Director in the summer of 2007, to begin in the
2009–10 season.
Mr. Gilbert grew up with the New York Philharmonic, traveling
with the Orchestra on tours and watching its concerts from the wings.
The professional bond began with his acclaimed debut in October
2001; was strengthened by nearly annual appearances in following
seasons; and led to an agreement for him to conduct the Orchestra in
multiple subscription weeks over three years. In 2006–07 those weeks
featured two programs. The first saw the U.S. premiere of Swedish
composer Daniel Bortz’s Parodos, as well as Beethoven’s First Piano
Concerto and Debussy’s complete Images; the second, Stokowski’s
arrangement of Bach’s D-minor Toccata and Fugue, Ligeti’s Violin
Concerto, Webern’s arrangement of Bach’s Ricercar, and Schumann’s
Rhenish Symphony. Such programmatic diversity and imagination
reflects the depth and range of Mr. Gilbert’s repertoire and the vision
that he will bring as he and the Orchestra chart their future together.

“It has been a joy to create music for Joe
[Alessi] and the New York Philharmonic.
This winning combination has offered
me a wide, expansive landscape in which
to explore the ‘life story’ of a musical
idea.” — Composer Melinda Wagner

Some works call for more collaborations than others.
In the 2006–07 season an opera, a film, choral music, and a Broadway
favorite were on the docket, performed in languages ranging from
French, Russian, and German to the best and worst articulation of
the King’s English.
Lorin Maazel brought his operatic experience to bear with
acclaimed performances of Ravel’s one-act opera L’Enfant et les
sortilèges, with a large cast that featured sopranos Patrizia Ciofi and
Jessica Jones; mezzo-sopranos Susanne Mentzer, Isabel Leonard,
and Kelley O’Connor; tenor Philippe Castagner; baritone Ian
Greenlaw; and bass Kevin Deas; with the New York Choral Artists and
the Brooklyn Youth Chorus. He also led Brahms’s A German Requiem,
with soprano Celena Shafer, baritone Matthias Goerne, and the New
York Choral Artists, as the conclusion to Brahms the Romantic.
Associate Principal Conductor Xian Zhang led the Orchestra and
the New York Choral Artists in the music Prokofiev wrote to accompany the Eisenstein film, Alexander Nevsky, employing a restored
print and score produced by John Goberman. And four performances
of Lerner and Loewe’s My Fair Lady, produced by Thomas Z.
Shephard and directed by James Brennan, brought down the house,
thanks to the performances of Broadway’s Kelli O’Hara, film and
stage stars Kelsey Grammer, Brian Dennehy, and Charles Kimbrough,
and veteran actors including Marni Nixon.

Philharmonic Partners: Onstage & Off

The generosity, expertise,

professionalism, and
creativity of a host of individuals and organizations have helped the
New York Philharmonic to achieve its continuing ambition of
bringing its music to new and larger audiences, and have created
strong alliances, both in the United States and abroad.
The benevolence and support of new Board Member Oscar
Schafer and his wife, Didi, helped the Philharmonic to continue
to delight the more than 100,000 concertgoers each year who attend
the Philharmonic’s Concerts in the Parks, a traditional delight of
summer in the city also made possible through the support of CIT,
the City of New York, and the hard work of an army of stagehands.
On tour, the Philharmonic worked closely with a new partner,
South Korea presenter Kumho Asiana Cultural Foundation, and an
old friend, Japan’s Kajimoto Concert Management, on the successful
2006 visit to Japan and Korea, and with Konzertdirektion Schmid, a
key collaborator in organizing the acclaimed 2007 Tour of Europe.
Teamwork is the very essence of chamber music, which relies on a
give-and-take among musicians. Offstage, the musicians of the
Orchestra who comprise the Chamber Music Committee program
the six-concert annual New York Philharmonic Ensembles at Merkin
Concert Hall, which have been sold-out affairs since 1984.
And year after year, day in and day out, the strong partnership
enjoyed with the staffs of Avery Fisher Hall and Lincoln Center makes
the Orchestra’s daily rehearsals, concerts, and special activities
smooth and successful events. It has even made possible the growth
of our offerings, such as the free plaza viewing of the September 13
Opening Night Concert, nationally broadcast by Live From Lincoln
Center on PBS.

A Joint Effort: Media
A Fellowship of Educators: Impacting Thousands
Millions of listeners have benefited from the
New York Philharmonic’s collaborations with DG Concerts, iTunes,
96.3 FM WQXR, WFMT Radio Network, BBC Radio 3, and Live From
Lincoln Center. These have brought the Orchestra’s music far beyond
its Avery Fisher Hall home.
In the 2006–07 season the Philharmonic’s groundbreaking partnership with DG Concerts resulted in three more downloads of live
performances on iTunes as well as on a CD; as of August 31, the
Philharmonic’s DG Concerts releases had been downloaded approximately 10,000 times around the world. The Orchestra’s national
52-week per year radio series, The New York Philharmonic This
Week — in syndication by Chicago’s WFMT Radio Network to more
than 250 stations since 1997 — completed its second season as a
52-week-per-year program. Also, a new partnership with BBC Radio 3
allowed ten Orchestra performances to be produced and distributed
by BBC Radio throughout the U.K., with further distribution through
the European Broadcast Union’s Euroradio satellite network, making
the Philharmonic the first American symphony orchestra to have a
regular presence on European radio.
Also new this season: the New York Philharmonic Podcast, produced by Peabody Award–winning broadcaster and 96.3 FM WQXR
afternoon host Elliott Forrest, which offers listeners backstage
insights and illustrative musical excerpts. Launched as a pilot in
April, by August 31 more than 17,000 listeners had downloaded the
first six podcasts. Live From Lincoln Center, broadcast on PBS stations and a Philharmonic collaborator from its very first telecast, celebrated its 30th anniversary in the spring of 2006.

Audience participants joining the Orchestra and other performers for
an ovation on the March 24 Young People’s Concert.
Also a national leader in music education
and a major community resource, the New York Philharmonic
works closely with local and international educators, the City of New
York, and generous funders such as MetLife, to engage new audiences and new generations in the living tradition of great concert
music. Philharmonic educational programs impacted more than
52,000 children, students, educators, and adults through live
interaction. In the concert hall, in the classroom, and on the Internet,
the Philharmonic opens doors for people of all backgrounds.
While the Young People’s Concerts and the newer and enormously
popular Very Young People’s Concerts attract the most attention, one
of the most exciting collaborative efforts is the School Partnership
Program, a three-year sequential music program for New York City
schoolchildren in grades three through five, which began a major
expansion in the 2006–07 season. Philharmonic musicians and
teaching artists work with classroom and music teachers to make
the world of symphonic music come alive by conducting interactive
workshops that include instruction in structured listening,
performance, and group composition. Two In-School Concerts,
a School Day Concert at Avery Fisher Hall, ongoing professional
development for partner teachers, and workshops for parents contribute to an extraordinarily rich program that has become a model
for orchestras worldwide.
A new collaboration benefits those beyond New York: Learning
Overtures brings together international educators and musicians to
share practices and ideas in music education. The program, which
began in the 2006–07 season, featured workshops in Japan, and continued in February through an ambitious symposium with Finnish
students and teachers in New York.

Once a year, the New York Philharmonic
family — active and retired Musicians,
Board, and Staff — gather at a concert and
post-concert reception on the Grand
Promenade to honor colleagues who are
retiring or marking important milestones.
On June 20, the Orchestra celebrated
violinist Martin Eshelman and violist
Kenneth Mirkin for their respective 50 and
25 years with the Orchestra. It also honored
the careers of violinist Kenneth Gordon,
cellist Nancy Donaruma, Assistant
Principal Horn L. William Kuyper, bass
trombone Donald Harwood, and librarian
Thad Marciniak, who retired after decades
of service as members of the New York
Philharmonic.
in memoriam
The New York Philharmonic mourned the
death, on February 10, of Leonard Davis,
former New York Philharmonic Principal
Violist and a member of the Orchestra
from 1949 to 1991. Mr. Davis appeared in
recitals in New York and abroad, published
numerous transcriptions and editions
of musical works, and was on the faculty of
various institutions. He is survived by his
son, Harvey, his niece, Linda Finkelstein,
and his nephew, Seymour Adlerstein.

Throughout its more than 165-year history, the New York Philharmonic
has set the standard for music-making and for education. Partnerships in the public schools,
performances especially designed for young people, training programs for promising
musicians, and cutting-edge technology are just a few of the strategies the Orchestra uses to
engage its community and bring new audiences into the concert hall.
During the 2006–07 season, the Philharmonic doubled the number of its Very Young
People’s Concerts, a chamber series for children ages 3–5. The popular Young People’s
Concerts and School Day Concerts delighted tens of thousands of young listeners with an
exciting multimedia component, projecting close-up views of the Orchestra as well as archival
footage on a large screen during performances. The Philharmonic introduced Learning
Overtures, focusing on international collaborations, which this season brought Orchestra
musicians and educators together with schools while on tour in Japan, and convened visiting
Finnish educators and local students in New York. Meanwhile, the Board continued its
commitment to the three-year Strategic Plan for Education, adding a staff position in the
Education Department to meet the needs of expanding programs.
Philharmonic education programs directly involved more than 52,000 children, students,
educators, and adults during the 2006–07 season, with a global audience of more than six
million benefiting from on-line education activities through the Orchestra’s Website
destinations. In the concert hall, the classroom, and on the Internet, the Philharmonic
continued to open doors for people of all backgrounds.
The New York Philharmonic extends its deepest thanks to the following donors for their
generous support of our Education Programs during the 2006–07 season.
Support for educational activities is provided by:
Lead Corporate Underwriter:
MetLife Foundation
William Randolph Hearst Education

the Orchestra through gifts in their wills or other estate plans, all of which contribute to the
Philharmonic’s Endowment Fund. The fund provides a steady and reliable income stream
that helps the institution maintain the highest artistic standards of performance, attract
leading guest conductors and soloists, and provide a wide range of education and outreach
programs to the community. 
Members of the Heritage Society honor the truly priceless legacy that the Philharmonic
has inherited from earlier music lovers by continuing to extend this legacy into the future. We
are honored to recognize current Heritage Society members who are thoughtfully playing
their part in preserving a tradition of excellence for future generations.

We have audited the accompanying statements of financial position of The PhilharmonicSymphony Society of New York, Inc. (the “Society”) as of August 31, 2007 and 2006, and
the related statements of activities and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Society’s management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in
the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide
a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements enumerated above present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of The Philharmonic-Symphony Society of New York, Inc. as
of August 31, 2007 and 2006, and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the years
then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.

Notes to Financial Statements
Organization:
The Philharmonic-Symphony Society of New York, Inc. (the “Society”)
is a not-for-profit membership corporation incorporated in New
York State and located in Lincoln Center in New York City, the purpose of which is to support a symphony orchestra, the New York
Philharmonic (the “Philharmonic”), and to foster an interest in and
enjoyment of music in New York City and in the nation.
The Society qualifies as a Section 501(c)(3) organization, exempt
from federal income taxes under Section 501(a) of the U.S. Internal
Revenue Code (the “Code”), as well as from New York State and
New York City income taxes under comparable laws. The Society
has also been classified as a publicly supported organization under
Section 509(a) of the Code and qualifies for the maximum charitable
contribution deduction by donors.
Financial reporting:
(a)Basis of accounting:
The accompanying financial statements of the Society have been
prepared using the accrual basis of accounting and conform to
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America as applicable to not-for-profit organizations.
(b)Measure of operations:
The Society includes in its definition of operations all income
and expenses relating to its orchestra and supporting activities.
Investment income (including net realized and unrealized gains
and losses) that is greater or less than the Society’s authorized
spending rate is recognized as nonoperating income or loss,
respectively.
(c) Use of estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.
(d) Net assets:
Net assets and income, expenses, gains, and losses are classified
based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions.
Accordingly, the net assets of the Society and changes therein are
classified and reported as follows:
i) Unrestricted:
Unrestricted net assets represent those resources that are
not restricted by donors, or for which donor-imposed restrictions have expired. Board-designated net assets represent
amounts determined by the Board of Directors to function as
endowment.
Note 1: Organization and Summary of
Significant Accounting Principles (continued)
ii) Temporarily restricted:
Temporarily restricted net assets represent those resources
with donor-imposed restrictions that require the Society to use
or expend the related assets as specified. The Society records
contributions as temporarily restricted if they are received
with donor stipulations that limit their use through either
purpose or time restrictions. When donor restrictions expire,
that is, when a time restriction ends or a purpose restriction
is fulfilled, temporarily restricted net assets are reclassified as
unrestricted net assets and reported in the statement of activities as net assets released from restrictions. It is the Society’s
policy to record temporarily restricted contributions received
and expended in the same accounting period, as well as donorrestricted income earned and expended on permanently
restricted net assets, in the unrestricted net-asset category.
Contributions that the donor requires to be used to acquire
long-lived assets (e.g., leasehold improvements, furniture, fixtures, and equipment) are reported as temporarily restricted
until the long-lived assets have been acquired and placed in
service, at which time the Society reflects the expiration of the
donor-imposed restriction as a reclassification included in net
assets released from restrictions.
iii) Permanently restricted:
Permanently restricted net assets represent those resources
with donor-imposed restrictions which stipulate that the
related resources be maintained in perpetuity, but which permit the Society to expend part or all of the income and capital
appreciation derived from the donated assets for either specified or unspecified purposes.
Leasehold improvements, equipment, and musical instruments:
Major expenditures for furniture, equipment, computer hardware
and software, and leasehold improvements are capitalized and are
depreciated or amortized using the straight-line method over their
estimated useful lives, which range from three to thirty-five years, or
the life of the underlying lease, whichever is shorter. Minor expenditures for furniture and equipment are recorded as expenses, as such
items are not considered sufficiently material to warrant capitalization and depreciation.
The costs (or donated values) of musical instruments are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives, except for
antique musical instruments, valued at $5,845,000 in fiscal-years
2007 and 2006, which are not required to be depreciated.
Accrued vacation:
Based on their tenure, the Society’s employees are entitled to be
paid for unused vacation time if they leave the Society’s employ.
Accordingly, at each fiscal year-end, the Society must recognize a
liability for the amount that would be incurred if employees with
such unused vacation were to leave. At August 31, 2007 and 2006,
this accrued vacation obligation was approximately $202,000 and
$165,000, respectively.
Contributions:
All unconditional contributions to the Society are recorded as income
at the earlier of the receipt of cash or other assets or of unconditional
pledges. Conditional contributions are recognized as income when
the conditions on which they depend have been substantially met.
All contributions are considered available for unrestricted use unless
specifically restricted by the donor.
Cash and cash equivalents:
For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, the Society considers
highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months
or less, other than those held in the Society’s investment portfolio, to
be cash equivalents.
Investments:
Investments in securities and readily marketable funds are recorded
at their fair values, which are based on published market prices.
Alternative investments refer to the Society’s investment in a hedge
fund, whose value is determined by the related investment manager. These alternative investments may have restrictions as to their
marketability that could affect the Society’s ability to liquidate the
investments quickly. In addition, because some of the underlying
investments are not readily marketable, the estimated fair value of
the alternative investments may differ significantly from the value
that would have been used had a ready market for those securities
existed. The Society reviews and evaluates the value provided and
believes the carrying amount of these investments in non-publicly
traded securities are a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Purchased securities are recorded as of their trade dates and
donated securities are recorded at their market values on the dates
received. The broker receivable and broker payable reported on the
accompanying statements of financial position represent open
trades that were not settled at each year-end. Gains or losses from the
sales of securities are determined using the average-cost method. All
assets in the investment portfolio are reported as noncurrent. The
Society considers most of its investment portfolio, both restricted
and unrestricted, to be endowment-related.
Deferred revenue:
Deferred revenue from ticket sales arises from subscription sales and
is recognized as income when the performance for which the tickets
have been sold occurs.
Advertising:
The Society expenses the costs of advertising as they are incurred.

Volunteers:
A number of volunteers have made significant contributions of time
to the Society’s program and support functions. The value of this contributed time does not meet the criteria for recognition of contributed services and, accordingly, is not reflected in the accompanying
financial statements. In addition, during fiscal-year 2007 the Society
received approximately $1,000,000 of donated consulting services
rendered by a consulting firm which has a partner who is a member
of the Board of Directors.
Reclassification:
Certain financial information for fiscal-year 2006 has been reclassified to conform with the fiscal-year 2007 presentation.

Other investments include amounts designated for deferred compensation to the President and Executive Director and for a supplemental pension fund for orchestra retirees.
Return on investments:
The Society’s Board of Directors has adopted a spending-rate policy
whereby a predetermined amount of each fiscal year’s investment
assets is used to fund current operations. The spending-rate return
reflected in unrestricted and temporarily restricted investment
income was $9,532,000 and $210,000 and $9,360,000 and $201,000
in fiscal-years 2007 and 2006, respectively, calculated as 5.5% of the
prior three-year, rolling-average quarterly market value of investments. Unrestricted investment income also includes interest
income earned on operating funds of $156,000 and $139,000 in fiscal-years 2007 and 2006, respectively.
The following schedule summarizes the Society’s investment

Depreciation and amortization of leasehold improvements, equipment, and musical equipment amounted to $885,000 and $998,000
for fiscal-years 2007 and 2006, respectively. During fiscal-years
2007 and 2006, the Society wrote off $1,212,000 of fully depreciated
equipment and $10,000 of fully depreciated musical instruments,
respectively.
Note 5: Pensions
The Society maintains two defined-benefit pension plans (the
“Plans”), one for members of the orchestra and one for office employees. The Society’s funding policy is to contribute funds to a trust as
necessary to provide for current service and for any unfunded accrued
benefit liabilities, over a reasonable period, to meet IRS minimumfunding requirements. To the extent that these requirements are
fully covered by assets in the trust, a contribution may not be made in
a particular year.
The Society has adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting
Standards Board’s Statement on Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension
and Other Postretirement Plans,” an amendment of previously issued
authoritative employee-benefit accounting pronouncements. SFAS
No. 158 requires the recognition, in the sponsoring entity’s financial
statements, of an asset or liability for the “funded status” of a defined
benefit pension plan.

Note 3: Contributions Receivable
At each fiscal year-end, contributions receivable, net of the discount
to present value (at rates which range from 6% to 7%) and the allowance for doubtful accounts, are due to be collected as follows:
photo credt here
42
The Plans’ investments will be made for the purpose of providing
retirement reserves for the present and future benefit of participants of the Plans. The assets will be invested with the care, skill, and
diligence a prudent person acting in this capacity would exercise to
comply with all objectives outlined herein, the Investment Advisors
Act of 1940, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
(“ERISA”) and all other governing statutes.
The primary objective for the trustees will be to provide a balance
among capital appreciation, preservation of capital, and the production of current income. The Plans’ trustees recognize that risk (i.e.,
the uncertainty of future events), volatility (i.e., the potential for variability of asset values), and the possibility of loss in purchasing power
(due to inflation) are present to some degree in all types of investment
vehicles. While high levels of risk are to be avoided, the assumption of
risk is warranted in order to allow the investment manager the opportunity to achieve satisfactory long-term results consistent with the
objectives of the Plans.
The trustees of the Plans have discretion as to the asset-allocation
decisions of the total Plans assets. The Society requests adherences
to the following asset-allocation range:

Fixed income funds
Real asset fund

Plan.

The accrued expected post-retirement benefit cost recognized in
the statements of financial position for the Orchestra and Office
Plans for fiscal-year 2007 was $2,412,000 and $411,000, respectively.
The accrued benefit cost recognized in the statements of financial
position for the Orchestra and Office Plans for fiscal-year 2006 was
$1,434,000 and $343,000, respectively.
For measurement purposes, a 7.5% annual rate of increase in
the per capita cost of covered benefits was assumed for fiscal-years
2007 and 2006. The rate was assumed to decrease gradually to 4.25%
thereafter.
There were no employer or employee contributions to the Plans in
fiscal-years 2007 and 2006.

Note 10: Commitments
Lease: The Society is the principal tenant of Avery Fisher Hall under
a long-term lease agreement (which was renewed for 25 years, effective July 1, 1986) between the Society and Lincoln Center for the
Performing Arts, Inc. The Society’s rent is determined by established
rental rates for its use of the concert hall, plus or minus its proportionate share of the operating gain or loss. The expense incurred
under this agreement amounted to approximately $4,094,000 and
$3,774,000 in fiscal-years 2007 and 2006, respectively.
During each fiscal year, temporarily restricted net assets were released from restrictions in fulfillment of the following:

Line-of-credit: During fiscal-years 2007 and 2006, the Society had
available a $6 million and $10 million line of credit from a major
bank, respectively. Interest on the line is payable at a variable rate
based on LIBOR. There were no borrowings against the line of credit
during fiscal-years 2007 and 2006.
Employment contracts: In fiscal-year 2004, the Society extended its
employment contract with the Music Director to cover through its
2008–09 season. The Society also has an employment contract with
the President and Executive Director.
Note 11: Comparison to Internal Operating Measure
For fiscal-years 2007 and 2006, unrestricted deficiency of operating
income over operating expenditures, as reflected in the accompanying statements of activities, differs from the operating measures used
for internal-reporting purposes for several reasons, including the
alternative treatment of certain income and expense items. A reconciliation of these two measurement processes is as follows:

Note 6: Other Post-Retirement Benefits
In addition to providing pension benefits, the Society provides certain health-care insurance benefits for qualified employees retiring after September 21, 1982, under two separate benefit plans.
Administrative employees are eligible for benefits once they have
reached ten years of service and 62 years of age while working for the
