Dear Friends - North Carolina Symphony

2 0 1 4/15 R EPOR T TO TH E COMM UNITY
Dear Friends,
As I think back on the 2014/15 season, I feel an enormous sense of pride. Using our strategic plan, “Strategy 2017,” as a guide, we continue
to make a difference across the state. Last season, the Symphony received some of the largest gifts in our history, had a record-breaking
year in ticket sales, was named as one of four inaugural orchestras in a national festival, and extended its collaborations with other cultural
organizations in the state, including the Hayes School of Music at Appalachian State University and the University of North Carolina School
of the Arts.
The North Carolina Symphony is recognized as a Symphony on the move – stories mentioning the Symphony in 2014/15 appeared in the
San Francisco Globe, the Washington Post, the New York Times, and of course in many media outlets across our state. Each year, we touch the
lives of more than 250,000 of our citizens in communities large and small, fulfilling our mission of music education and statewide service.
I am especially proud that the Symphony impacts the lives of our children as we reach more than 50,000 students each year through our
nationally recognized curriculum-based education program.
Serving as the Board Chair for the North Carolina Symphony Society has been a high honor. Like me, my successor Don Davis is a
“Symphony Kid,” who first heard the orchestra as a youngster. A long-time Trustee, he has served over the years on the nominating, audit,
finance and executive committees, and is our immediate past Treasurer. Don, who retired from Progress Energy as its Executive Vice President,
also served as the Symphony’s Interim President & CEO for a year before Sandi Macdonald came to us in 2011. My wish for him is to benefit
from the same great teamwork and sense of mission that I have experienced in my work with your North Carolina Symphony. Working
together, all of us – donors, patrons, musicians, Trustees, and staff – will help the Symphony reach ever greater heights.
Sincerely,
JEFF CORBETT
Board Chair (2013-15)

MISSION STATEMENT
To be North Carolina’s State orchestra, an orchestra
achieving the highest level of artistic quality and
performance standards, and embracing its dual legacies
of statewide service and music education.
“I am inordinately proud of every time
an individual audience member stops me in the street
to sing the praises of the orchestra, whether it was for a
Beethoven Symphony or a 4th grade education concert.”
GRANT LLEWELLYN, NCS Music Director
HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE 2014/15 SEASON
The North Carolina Symphony bookended its 2014/15 season with
performances featuring saxophone legend (and Symphony Trustee)
Branford Marsalis – the season opener in September, 2014, showcasing
Mr. Marsalis playing both classical and jazz, and a special benefit
performance in June of 2015 from Branford Marsalis and Friends. In
addition to his quartet, audiences heard the Symphony perform with
North Carolina’s own Kruger Brothers and Rhiannon Giddens. All of those
guest artists donated their time and talents for the sold-out evening.
Other guest artists throughout the year included pianist Lang Lang,
violinist Joshua Bell, and vocalist Storm Large singing with the always
amazing Pink Martini. More season highlights included the Symphony
performing Leonard Bernstein’s score to West Side Story while the film
played on a giant screen; Handel’s Messiah; an orchestral/theatrical
collaboration with the UNC School of the Arts of William Shakespeare’s
A Midsummer Night’s Dream; a two-day residency with students at
Appalachian State University; and free outdoor “Concerts in Your Community” programs in nine communities across eastern North Carolina.
The season also featured Symphony musicians performing for its new
Millennial Chamber Music Program in nightclubs in Raleigh and Chapel
Hill; as well as its popular Soundbites series that mixed chamber music
and delicious food in a restaurant setting.
The Rex Healthcare Summerfest Series at Cary’s Koka Booth
Amphitheatre saw 10 exciting concerts thanks to wonderful sponsors
and an increased investment by the Town of Cary. Summerfest
audiences heard a mix of classical music and Pops performances,
including a two-night Russian Festival, a weekend of music from
stage and screen, Music of the ’80s, and the Symphony’s annual
Independence Day concert.

STATE OF THE SYMPHONY
During the past season, we had many things to celebrate as we went about
our work as the state’s Symphony. We had a record-breaking year in ticket
sales, and our fundraising efforts allowed us to balance the budget. Both are
absolutely vital, since private support continues to be the most important
source of revenue for the North Carolina Symphony.
We met the state’s $8 million Challenge Grant for the sixth year in a row.
Once the Symphony garners $8 million in private support through ticket
sales and donations, the challenge grant provides an additional $1.5 million
from the state. The legislature’s support is built on our dedication to serving
the state – each year we travel more than 18,000 miles to perform for more
than 250,000 North Carolinians, including 50,000 fourth and fifth graders.
In our role as the state’s largest performing arts organization, we impact
the cultural life and creative economies of communities across North
Carolina. Our work is truly made possible by our brilliant musicians, who are
the heart of our organization. From the 175 full orchestra concerts to the
40+ chamber music, ensemble, and outreach programs, they give their all
every time they step on stage. Led by Music Director Grant Llewellyn, the
North Carolina Symphony continues to pursue its commitment to providing
visionary performances, educating our children, and serving our state.
“As I prepare my elementary school music students in the classroom, it gives me a
great feeling to know that they will experience the same excitement I felt when I was
their age and attended a North Carolina Symphony Education Concert.”

NORTH CAROLINA SYMPHONY
EDUCATION SUPPORTERS
SYMPHONY EDUCATION PROGRAM BIGGEST IN U.S.
Music education has always been a cornerstone of the mission of the North
Carolina Symphony. Last year, more than 50,000 schoolchildren in North
Carolina worked with their teachers in the most extensive education program of any major U.S. orchestra.
Students follow curriculum-based lesson plans that outline the fundamentals of music, teach about the instruments that make up a Symphony
orchestra, and profile the great composers. An education concert, either at
one of their local schools, or in a field trip to Meymandi Concert Hall, introduces students to the power of live orchestral music.
PHILANTHROPIC SUPPORT IS KEY
FULFILLING OUR PROMISE TO NORTH C A R O LI N A
In addition to strategic and important support from the State of North
Carolina, generous annual giving from individuals, corporations, and
foundations enabled the North Carolina Symphony to present a fantastic
season and pursue our educational mission. These generous benefactors,
including an eight percent increase in new donors, enabled the Symphony to fulfill important initiatives while balancing the budget in 2014/15.
Throughout the year, the North Carolina Symphony brings people together in support of excellence in music performance and music education.
Notable special events included a sold-out “Friends of Note” luncheon to
benefit music education; a dinner honoring cellist Zuill Bailey; receptions
honoring pianist Lang Lang and violinist Joshua Bell; pre-concert events in
Southern Pines honoring music education in Moore County; and gatherings
in Tarboro, Jacksonville and New Bern prior to the Symphony’s “Concerts in
Your Community” program.
Your continued support counts, and is a wise investment. Here’s why:
