2014 Annual Report - Columbus Symphony

Dear Friends,
We are pleased to share the Columbus Symphony’s 2013–2014 Annual
Report with the community. This report is intended to highlight the
achievements of the past season, and also to provide an overview of the
incredible range of programming that the CSO offers to enrich central Ohio.
The CSO’s 63rd season demonstrated our commitment to fulfill our
updated mission to provide symphonic music and educational programs
of the highest quality, to engender passion and excitement in our diverse
audiences. The season included exceptional live performances, expanded
initiatives to engage new audiences, and a broad range of educational
programs that served learners of all ages.
2013–2014 was also a season of transition for the CSO, as we bade farewell
to Jean-Marie Zeitouni, who completed his tenure as Music Director with
Carmen in Concert, the triumphant closing concert of the Masterworks
season. The Orchestra reached new heights of excellence under Maestro
Zeitouni’s baton, and we are appreciative of his significant contributions to
the CSO’s development.
As we look back on the successes of the previous season, we also look
forward to a bright future for our Orchestra, under the leadership of our new
Music Director, Rossen Milanov. His vision and talent will ensure that the
Orchestra is an integral part of the fabric of our community.
On behalf of the musicians, board, staff, and the hundreds of thousands
of central Ohioans served by the CSO every year, we invite you to review
our 2013–2014 annual report, and we thank you for your support of the
Columbus Symphony Orchestra.
Sincerely,
Lisa Barton
Chair, CSO Board of Trustees
William B. Conner, Jr.
Managing Director and CEO
SPOTLIGHT
Martin Inglis retired from his
role as Board Chair at the end
of 2013–2014, a position he held
for six years. On occasion there
is a leader that distinguishes
themselves by setting a clear
course and delivering on those
commitments. Martin’s dedication
and leadership were critical to the
CSO’s sustainability and successes
in recent years, and we salute
his exceptional commitment
to ensuring that central Ohio
continues to enjoy the beautiful
music of the Columbus Symphony.

Families
Young Musicians
Attendance for our two Concerts for Kids
doubled this year, as families from throughout
central Ohio joined us for “Peter and the Wolf”
and “Carnival of the Animals” at the Capitol
Theatre in the Riffe Center. Kids of all ages
enjoyed two summer Popcorn Pops concerts
in the Columbus Commons: “Gotta Love the
Symphony!” and "Out of This World: Music
from Star Wars, Superman, and Beyond!”
Interactive pre-concert activities at both series
added to the fun, thanks to CSO musicians
Luis Biava, Richard Howenstine, Ken Matsuda,
Andy Millat, and Jude Mollenhauer; volunteers
from the Women’s Association; and our
8
Young talent shined in our Youth Orchestras,
with 346 student musicians performing in
five ensembles: the Youth Orchestra, Junior
Strings, Cadet Orchestra, Chamber Strings,
and the Columbus All City Orchestra, which
served 52 students from Columbus City
Schools. The Young Musicians Competition
provided an opportunity for students in
grades 3-12 to perform for professional
feedback from CSO musicians and collegiate
faculty, while the Young Musicians Showcase
featured 15 promising young musicians
performing in the lobby of the Ohio Theatre
before Masterworks concerts.
K–12 Students
Four Young People’s Concerts brought over
4,300 K-12 students and their teachers to
the Ohio Theatre to enjoy age-appropriate
concerts, with pre-concert materials provided
to schools to integrate the concert experience
with Ohio educational curriculum. Concerts in
Schools took CSO musicians into Columbus
elementary schools, where they performed for
approximately 1,600 students, while over 300
students and adults enjoyed Backstage with
the Symphony tours of the Ohio Theatre.
Educators
The 2014 Music Educator Awards recognized
exceptional teachers and community
educators for their work to instill and
inspire a love of music in their students
and communities, promoting a greater
understanding of and appreciation for music
education, its role in the broader academic
curriculum, and the impact it has on the lives
of young people throughout central Ohio.
Congratulations to our 2014 awardees:
Elementary: Linda Price Huff, General Music

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Our new series of Happy Hour Concerts
made great music accessible to everyone,
with three free, informal concerts at the Ohio
Theatre, which were conducted by Gregory
Vajda, Daniel Meyer, and Rossen Milanov. New
audiences, including young professionals and
families, were introduced to the CSO through
this innovative new program.
Side by Side with the CSO provided 50
community members with an opportunity to
play with their CSO counterparts in a rehearsal
on the stage of the Ohio Theatre. Participants
were thrilled by the experience; as one stated,
“What a wonderful gift it is, being able to play
and create music. Thank you for the gift of
being part of that glorious sound.”
Community outreach concerts were expanded
in 2013-2014, taking CSO ensembles
throughout central Ohio to share the
transformative power of music, including
Nationwide Children’s Hospital, The Ohio
State University James Cancer Hospital, Port
Columbus International Airport, the corporate
headquarters of Chemical Abstracts and
Nationwide Insurance, Polaris Fashion Place,
and The Mall at Tuttle Crossing.
Side by Side with the CSO
SPOTLIGHT
“Love the concept of
reaching out to people
who may not have had the
opportunity to see and hear
the CSO. Great evening.
Thank you!”

VOLUNTEERS
Nearly 600 volunteers served the CSO in
2013–2014, dedicating their time and talents
in support of the Orchestra’s musicians,
programs, and audiences. We recognize and
appreciate the service of each and every one
of these amazing volunteers!
CSO Chorus
The 140 all-volunteer members of the CSO
Chorus enjoyed another great season under
the direction of Ron Jenkins, performing in
Mahler’s Symphony No. 2 (“Resurrection”),
Mozart’s Requiem, Carmen in Concert, and the
ever-popular Holiday Pops.
Columbus Symphony
Orchestra League (CSOL)
In 2013–2014, the CSOL presented several
fundraising events, such as Tavern Americana
at Garth’s Auctions in Delaware, with guest
appraisals and auction preview, and Café
America at Rockmill Brewery, featuring a beer
tasting and brewery tour, CSO musicians,
award winning barbershop quartet Park
Avenue, and posh picnic fare. The season also
saw the launch of Partners at the Podium, a
unique fundraising partnership between the
CSOL and Garth’s Auctions.
TONIC: Columbus Symphony
Young Professionals
New in 2013–2014, Tonic is dedicated to
making the CSO experience fresh, exciting and
innovative for Columbus’ young professionals.
For their debut season, the group held preconcert events, including a happy hour
at Market 65 before Carmen in Concert,
promoted the CSO on social media, and
participated in the three Happy Hour at the
CSO concerts.
The Women’s Association of the
Columbus Symphony (WACSO)
The longest-running CSO volunteer group
continued its tradition of service to the
Orchestra, providing receptions for the
Chorus, participants in Side-by-Side with
the CSO, and recognizing CSO musicians
and staff. Fundraising activities included
pansy and pecan sales, a luncheon and style
show, a series of Sunday Afternoon Musical
Assemblies at Mozart’s with performances
by CSO musicians, and WACSO’s signature
Passport event, “Razzmatazz and All That
Jazz,” held at the historic home of Allan Baker
and Al Waddell.
SPOTLIGHT
Over seven summer
weekends, 298 volunteers
ensured that audiences in the
Columbus Commons had a
great time at each Picnic with
the Pops concert in 2014. This
hardworking group provides
invaluable service, assisting in
the logistics and operations
of nearly every aspect of
the CSO’s popular summer
concert series.

The Legacy Society recognizes patrons who
have advised the Development Office that
they have made or are making provisions for a
planned gift to the Columbus Symphony.
Such provisions often involve a bequest made
through the donor’s will, but there are other
types of deferred gifts with tax benefits which
should be discussed with a financial advisor. To
notify the Symphony of such a provision and
become a member of the Columbus Symphony
Legacy Society, or to obtain further information
about planned giving, please contact the
Development Office at 614.221.5249.
A planned gift to the Symphony can ensure
that future generations are afforded an
opportunity to experience a symphony
orchestra of the highest artistic standard.
