Report to the Community - North Carolina Symphony

North Carolina’s state orchestra, an orchestra achieving
the highest level of artistic quality and performance
standards, and embracing our dual legacies of
statewide service and music education
Report to the
Community
2 015/16
Dear Friends,
Across counties and across generations, nearly everyone who grew up in the state of North
Carolina in the past seven decades shares a common thread. We all experienced the magic of
the North Carolina Symphony (NCS) as children—myself included.
Years later, as Board Chair of this excellent artistic and educational organization—regarded
as one of the finest in the country—I fully appreciate the significance that this childhood
experience carries throughout people’s lives. In the Symphony’s travels throughout the state, we
are told countless stories from those who fondly remember hearing orchestral music for the first
time when the Symphony came to their schools. Today, they are eager for world-class musical
and cultural opportunities—and NCS delivers.
Looking back on the past year, you’ll find that NCS takes pride in bringing the world’s top artists
to North Carolina, while simultaneously embracing homegrown talent and developing strong
partnerships with our fellow community organizations. Our innovation and statewide impact
earned the Symphony one of four spots in SHIFT, a prestigious national festival at The Kennedy
Center taking place in March 2017.
Whether you’re a “Symphony kid” like me, or whether your Symphony story has just begun,
thank you for taking pride in your North Carolina Symphony.
In our 83rd year of service
to North Carolina, your Symphony...

Creating Unique
Arts Experiences
for North Carolinians
In the 2015/16 season, the North Carolina Symphony presented
177 concerts and events that were attended by music-lovers from
every corner of our state. These are some of the many moments
that highlighted our commitment to providing the highestquality cultural opportunities in North Carolina.
Multimedia Concert with
the Museum of Natural Sciences
The Symphony created a new partnership with
the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences,
performing Vivaldi’s Four Seasons with beautiful
images and aerial shots of North Carolina state
parks projected in high-definition at Meymandi
Concert Hall. The partnership continues this
season with another multimedia concert
featuring Holst’s famous suite The Planets,
performed with projected imagery and video
of our solar system.
World Premiere of a Work
Inspired by North Carolina
Composer Sarah Kirkland Snider grew up visiting
her grandparents in Salisbury, North Carolina; the
emotional, nostalgic music of her new piece Hiraeth,
co-commissioned by NCS, recalls those times and is
accompanied by a film with footage of the Piedmont
region. The Symphony gave the world premiere of
Hiraeth in September 2015 and brought the work to
Salisbury in February 2016. This season, we perform
it at The Kennedy Center as part of SHIFT: A Festival of
American Orchestras.
First Appearance at
Smoky Mountain Center
for the Performing Arts
High-Flying Holiday Spirit
at New Cirque Show
NCS traveled to Franklin, North
Carolina, filling all 1,500 seats for
our first-ever performance at
Smoky Mountain Center for the
Performing Arts. The concert
included light overtures and
waltzes, as well as Rachmaninoff’s
Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini,
featuring our 2015 Kathleen Price
and Joseph M. Bryan Youth
Concerto Competition winner
Kiffen Loomis from nearby
Asheville. The performance was
made possible thanks to the
advocacy of North Carolina
Senator Jim Davis.
Thousands of people celebrated the
holiday season with the Symphony—
from traditional carol singing, to music
from the movie Frozen, to a new Cirque
Musica show with familiar classical
favorites and jaw-dropping acrobatic
performances. Aerial flying, balancing
feats, juggling, and more dazzled
concertgoers at this family-friendly show.
Two Evenings with Pop and Jazz
Legend Johnny Mathis
The soulful Johnny Mathis took the spotlight in the spring,
crooning his suave ballads and chart-topping hits. There was
a wonderful feeling of intimacy to the performances—even
with 1,500 people filling Meymandi Concert Hall each night!
The platinum-selling artist delighted audiences young and
old, and North Carolina Symphony musicians raved about
their experience working with one of the world’s greatest
talents. Many were eager to take photos during rehearsal
breaks, including violinist Suzanne Kelly (pictured at right).
“Wow! It was amazing to hear how different all of the instruments were
and how they could come together and make a beautiful sound. It was
really cool to hear how the orchestra can create a mood and a story.”
–Elisa Rowinski, 5th grade student, Laurel Park Elementary School, Apex, North Carolina
Music for Learning, Music for Life
The North Carolina Symphony leads the most
extensive music education program of any U.S.
orchestra, engaging more than 52,000 4th and 5th
graders in the 2015/16 season. In alignment with
the music curriculum set by the North Carolina
Department of Public Instruction, the Symphony
provides training and resources for teachers, sends
small ensembles into classrooms, and performs fullorchestra concerts for students at Meymandi
Concert Hall in Raleigh and in school auditoriums
around the state. The Education Concert theme
“What Makes Music ... Music?” teaches core musical
components such as melody, rhythm, and dynamics.
Growing Together with
Our Youngest Audiences
The Symphony’s Music Discovery program—a part of PNC’s
Grow Up Great initiative—welcomes preschoolers and
their families for storytelling and music, in collaboration
with libraries, museums, and Head Start programs
across the state. Music Discovery has grown 50% since
it launched three years ago, expanding into rural areas
of the state and offering 30 events in 2015/16. Striving
to make music education accessible to all, events held
in counties with high Spanish-speaking populations
included Spanish translation.
A Model for Music Education Partnerships
I looked around the hall during the Stravinsky,
Brahms, Beethoven, Schubert, and Rossini, and
was moved to tears seeing these kids bouncing
in their seats and pretending to direct. Music has
the power to transcend culture and position once
education becomes a part of the experience.
–Dooley Ezzard, music teacher, Wilson Preparatory Academy,
Wilson, North Carolina
In 2015, the Yale School of Music’s Symposium on Music
in the Schools recognized the North Carolina Symphony
and Wake County Public School System for their inspiring
partnership. Working together, the Symphony and the
school system have greatly increased opportunities for
middle and high school students in recent years. Programs
for 6th through 12th graders include open rehearsals,
where students observe the process of shaping a piece of
music for a performance; master classes, through which
young musicians are coached by NCS musicians and guest
artists; and Ovations, which organizes student ensemble
performances for NCS audiences before Raleigh Classical
Series concerts.
Assistant Principal Percussion Matt Decker reads
to preschoolers at Music Discovery.
Middle school students give an Ovations performance
before an NCS concert at Meymandi Concert Hall.
Bringing Music-Lovers
Together for a Good Cause
Throughout the year, the North Carolina Symphony brings people
together in support of excellence in music performance and music
education. These special events are not only a treat for those
attending—the funds they raise ensure that people throughout
North Carolina have opportunities to experience the Symphony.
Gala Performance with Superstar Renée Fleming
Renée Fleming, one of the most acclaimed singers of our time, performed for
the first time with the Symphony in October 2015, at a Gala Benefit Evening
dedicated to the memory of former Symphony Trustee Nan Ogburn Cullman.

The North Carolina Symphony sold out more than a dozen
concerts in the 2015/16 season; doubled ticket sales
in Wilmington; and increased sales for Young People’s
Concerts by 25%.
While the Symphony fills concert halls, sales cover only
a portion of the cost to stage performances and fulfill
our educational mission. NCS is grateful to our dedicated
donors and sponsors; gifts to the Annual Fund from
individuals, corporations, and foundations increased
by 8.3% in 2015/16. We also met the State’s Challenge
Grant again last year. This challenge provides $2 million
once we have garnered $9 million in non-state funds—
meaning we earn an additional 22 cents for every dollar
of your support!
Through ticket sales, fundraising, and government funding,
we balanced our budget for a second consecutive year.

The Lamar Stringfield Society, our planned giving program, plays an incredibly important role in the
Symphony’s future. The Society is made up of individuals who have included the NCS in their estate
plans, have endowed a musicians’ chair, or have endowed a special fund. Currently totaling more than
140 generous music-lovers, the Society welcomed 11 new members in the 2015/16 season.
$ 11,265,062
Events such as the Friends of Note luncheon and String Fling gala supported
the Symphony’s music education mission. Violins painted by professional
artists, and even a guitar signed by James Taylor, were auctioned at String
Fling in New Bern.
The North Carolina Symphony Foundation’s endowment is a key factor in our financial health, ensuring
long-term sustainability and providing a portion of annual operating funds. The endowment has seen
impressive growth since 2012, from $8.9 million to its current $17 million. In 2015/16, endowment
assets grew by $3.9 million—an unprecedented increase of 30%.
