M E S S A G E S
The celebration of Tilles Center’s 30th season is a perfect time to pause to appreciate
all it has achieved over the years. The wide variety of world-class performances,
whether they be classical music, dance, Broadway shows, jazz, opera or popular, has
made Tilles Center a destination for tens of thousands of Long Islanders seeking quality
entertainment.
Although we weathered another season in a difficult economy, we can proudly
boast many successes. Our season began with our annual Gala, honoring Lynn A.
Pike, president of Capital One Bank. To celebrate our 30th anniversary season,
the Gala performance was led by Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center
Orchestra with Ann Hampton Callaway and members of the Alvin Ailey American
Dance Theatre. The season followed with many full houses, our patrons enjoying
the breadth and quality of the performances presented.
As president of the University, I am particularly proud that Tilles Center is increasingly
an integral part of our internal University life. For students, Tilles Center provides
innumerable opportunities to enhance their college experiences and to enrich their lives. They have the unique
advantage of learning about the arts first hand, by attending live performances, Master Classes and preperformance lectures. Our School of the Visual and Performing Arts is made stronger with Tilles Center as its
partner in its educational mission.
In spite of the challenges a struggling economy presents, our loyal cadre of corporate and individual
sponsors, annual fund contributors and government and foundation grants, gave us critical support. In
planning for the future, we had a successful endowment concert, featuring Midori, which helped build our
endowment fund. In June of 2011, Swing for Kids honored Tom Cangemi, of New York Community Bank,
raising important funds in support of Arts Education at Tilles Center.
Tilles Center is a jewel reaching multiple audiences including our students, and despite today’s difficult economic
climate, it is succeeding in its mission both within the University and to the larger Long Island community.
We are privileged to have the support of our Council of Overseers whose dedication to the well-being of
Tilles Center is unparalleled.
Dr. David J. Steinberg
President, Long Island University
John R. Bransfield, Jr.
Chairman, Tilles Center Council of Overseers
In this annual report we have the happy opportunity to chronicle our 30th
anniversary season, and to reflect on three decades of service to the cultural
life of Long Island. Acknowledging our role as the region’s primary provider
of classical music, jazz, dance, family programming, and touring Broadway,
our 30th season featured outstanding performances in all these disciplines
and more, from the New York Philharmonic and Wynton Marsalis to the
Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre to Patti LuPone and the road companies
of “Spring Awakening” and “Cats.” Mindful of the need to build new audiences, we placed a high priority
on arts education, building on creative partnerships both on campus and in the broader community.
Looking to the future, we ramped up our long-range fundraising behind the scenes, and gave these
efforts a public face with our second Endowment Concert, featuring Midori, in May of 2011. As we enter
our fourth decade, our mission and commitment are clear, and we are grateful to Long Island University
and to the Long Island community for their sustaining support.

ARTS
E D U CAT I O N
T
illes Center continues to be a leader of exemplary
arts-in-education programs in K-12 schools and
on the LIU Post Campus. Experiences with
artists-in-residence, in-school partnerships and
world class performances provide thousands of students
with opportunities to think critically and creatively and
to discover a world of possibility.
School Partnership Program
Based on the Lincoln Center Institute’s model of aesthetic
education, Tilles Center’s partnership offers a unique
collaboration between artists and educators who recognize the
ability of the arts to foster cognitive skills and improve academic
achievement across the curriculum.
The program operates with core partners in the Glen Cove City Schools, Freeport Public
Schools and the Portledge School in Locust Valley. Each project begins with in-depth
planning to combine arts experiences with classroom curriculum and culminates in a
performance at Tilles Center.
RESIDENCY PROGRAMS FUNDED BY THE GILBERT
AND ROSE TILLES ENDOWMENT FOR ARTS EDUCATION
The 2010-11 season brought many unique opportunities for C.W. Post students to learn new
techniques as well as offer them insights into the world of professional performance. The fall
of 2010 included residencies from The New York Philharmonic, The Shanghai Quartet,
Christine Ebersole and Jazz at Lincoln Center.
In February, Tilles Center partnered with C.W. Post Continuing Education, the Hutton House Lectures and
the Pilobolus Institute to work with Hutton House Lectures, the women’s field hockey team, students
from the School of Management and the Arts, arts management and the dance department, and local
high schools in workshops that utilized movement as a medium to explore elements of collaboration,
decision-making and leadership. The program also included an eight-session community project, which
showcased a piece developed during the residency prior to the performance by Pilobolus.
Additional residency programs included C.W. Post dance students working with members of the
Paul Taylor Dance Company and the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater.
In addition, the center is partnering with Eastern Suffolk Board of Cooperative Educational
Services (BOCES) who has been awarded a four-year U.S. Department of Education Arts in
Education Model Development and Dissemination Program grant called “Creative Classroom
Collaboratives.” This partnership completed will bring the program and residencies to grades
2-4, and their classroom and specialty teachers in the Riverhead and Wading River School
Districts. The program is linked to the New York State and national learning standards and
will collect extensive data on the impact of the arts-in-education program.
2010-11 marked the first year of the four-year grant; in years two through four, the project
will expand to 6-8 teaching artists, 75-90 classroom teachers, arts specialists and other
school staff and 1,500 students.

2011 Tilles Scholars
Six young Long Island music students were
named Tilles Scholars following competitive
auditions. Each received a partial scholarship
to participate in the 30th annual C.W. Post
Chamber Music Festival in July 2011. The Festival
is an intensive three-week program that focuses
on the study and performance of the standard
chamber music repertoire. It is directed by
Dr. Susan Deaver and coached by the faculty
ensemble-in-residence, The Pierrot Consort.
The scholars ranged in age from 11-17 and
originated from Syosset, Greenlawn, Westbury,
Rockville Center, Westbury and Great Neck.
Student Art Exhibits
The Patrons Lounge of Tilles Center is utilized
each year as an art gallery for local students.
A series of exhibits featured works by the
students from the C.W. Post Art Department
and K–12 schools. Participants included the
C.W. Post faculty and student artists, the Usdan
Center for the Creative and Performing Arts
and the Plainview, Eastmeadow, Amityville,
Commack school districts.
