annual report 2009 –10
boston symphony orchestra, inc.
celebrating 125 years of the boston pops
Robert P. O'Block, Mark Volpe, Stephen B. Kay
The 2009–10 Boston Symphony Orchestra season opened amidst worldwide economic uncertainty, as the financial
crisis threatened the livelihood of arts organizations across the country. Although the situation remains challenging,
we are pleased to report that the BSO has continued to fulfill its musical mission, which was made possible by the
combined efforts of the BSO community—including our artists, donors, concertgoers, staff, and volunteers.
The most important initiative that the BSO implemented during this time was the establishment of an Immediate
Impact Funds campaign to provide critically needed transitional operating support to respond to a much-changed
financial environment. Coupled with significant cost-reduction measures, the Funds provide multi-year operating
support for our core activities and help mitigate declines in the level of income drawn from our endowment and
from ticket sales. A $12 million fundraising initiative successfully completed through the generosity of many BSO
Trustees and Overseers, the Immediate Impact Funds ensure that the BSO will continue to carry out its artistic
mission from a position of financial stability during these challenging times.
Artistically, under the leadership of Ray and Maria Stata Music Director James Levine and Julian and Eunice Cohen
Pops Conductor Keith Lockhart, the BSO and Pops continue to deliver diverse musical programs performed at the
highest standards of the art form. Last season also saw the 125th anniversary of the Boston Pops—the orchestra
that originated the pops genre.
Sadly, last year also marked the passing of BSO Chairman and Great Benefactor Edward H. Linde. Ed leaves a legacy
of enthusiastic dedication of time, talent, and generosity. His extraordinary wisdom and unparalleled leadership
serve as an inspiration as we carry on his remarkable work.
Success in fulfilling our musical mission is a direct result of your investment in the orchestra as concertgoer, donor,
and advocate, and for this, we are deeply grateful. We look forward to continued collaboration with you as we
endeavor to extend the BSO's musical outreach in new ways to new audiences around the world.
With sincere appreciation for your support,
Stephen B. Kay

The Boston Symphony Orchestra, Inc. engages more people
in the remarkable variety and wonder of orchestral music
than any other symphonic organization in the world.
Through six different components—the Boston Symphony,
the Boston Pops, Tanglewood, the Tanglewood Music Center,
Symphony Hall, and the Tanglewood Festival Chorus—
the organization brings music into the lives of more than
18 million people every year. Unmatched in the size and
scope of its activities, the BSO remains committed to making
classical music of the highest quality accessible to audiences
of all ages, from music classrooms in inner-city Boston to
concert halls around the world. During the 2009-10 season,
education and community outreach initiatives expanded,
aided by technological innovations that give the organization’s
offerings unprecedented reach. From live concerts at Symphony
Hall, Tanglewood, and on tour, to the plethora of free offerings
on the BSO’s hugely popular website, the Boston Symphony
Orchestra, Inc. continues to share a wealth of music with
appreciative audiences around the world.

The Boston Symphony Orchestra
For 129 years and counting, the Boston Symphony Orchestra has been at the forefront
of artistic excellence and innovation. Under the leadership of Maestro James Levine
in his sixth year as the Ray and Maria Stata Music Director, the orchestra’s programming
during the 2009-10 season featured an engaging blend of music. Programs ranged
from a concentrated cycle of the complete Beethoven symphonies, to three of the
great symphonies of Mahler, to world and American premieres by some of the most
eloquent voices in contemporary music—Elliott Carter, John Harbison, Peter Lieberson,
and John Williams. This lively diversity continues to attract some of the world’s most
acclaimed guest artists, as well as audiences old and new seeking to experience
concerts that reflect cherished traditions while also speaking to the fast-changing
world in which we live.
The Boston Pops Celebrates its 125th Anniversary
In its 125th year, “America’s Orchestra” continued to lead the way in programming
that makes classical and popular music fun, accessible, and relevant to the rich
multiplicity of contemporary life. Under the direction of Keith Lockhart, the Julian
and Eunice Cohen Pops Conductor, the orchestra’s landmark season was built on its
storied legacy of performing appealing programs that combine light symphonic fare,
American classics, memorable hits from film and Broadway, and a wide variety
of pop, jazz, indie rock, big band, and country music. In the process, the ensemble
expanded what has become an unrivalled collection of popular music in orchestral
arrangements. In commemoration of the Pops' 125th anniversary, the season
highlighted the distinctive contributions of the orchestra’s three most influential
conductors—Arthur Fiedler, Boston Pops Laureate Conductor John Williams, and Keith
Lockhart—and included the commission of a major world premiere, The Dream Lives
On: A Portrait of the Kennedy Brothers. Through recordings and broadcasts as well
as live concerts around the United States, the Pops reached millions of music lovers
this past year.

Environmental Initiatives Take Root at the BSO
From the notes on the page to the formalwear on the players, symphonic music can
often seem like a "black and white" affair.
But there's a new color at Symphony Hall
and Tanglewood of late: green—and it
is evident in the many environmentally
friendly initiatives that the BSO has recently
implemented.
Meanwhile, the grounds are kept beautiful
using more organic fertilizers and an on-site
composting system. Both locations have
also taken part in the BSO's new program
book re-use initiative, which allows patrons
to return their clean concert programs to
be enjoyed by other concertgoers, reducing
waste and printing costs.
The BSO has been hard at work to reduce
its overall consumption of resources, and
to use sustainable items wherever possible.
In Boston, the BSO has ramped up its recycling
efforts while installing energy efficient
lighting and using eco-friendly cleaning
agents in Symphony Hall. At Tanglewood,
power-monitoring systems have been
installed in many buildings throughout
campus to track energy usage in real time
and measure savings from ongoing energy
conservation initiatives.
These are but a few of the many new
eco-friendly initiatives that the BSO has
implemented in recent years. When it comes
to reducing its environmental impact, no
stone has been left unturned at the BSO.
In fact, even the report you hold in your
hands has been printed on recycled paper
at a print shop that is powered by solar
energy. In all regards, the BSO is committed
to our environment and helping to sustain
our world for generations to come.

Tanglewood Music Center Turns 70
Founded in 1940, the Tanglewood Music Center is unique in that it is the only
summer music academy for advanced study that is part of a major symphony
orchestra. The TMC provides the musical stars of tomorrow an opportunity to hone
their professional skills under the guidance of some of the world’s most acclaimed
instrumentalists, vocalists, conductors, and composers. For the summer of 2010,
more than 1,500 applicants vied for 130 positions as TMC Fellows. During the season,
the TMC presented 36 concerts in genres ranging from full orchestra to chamber
music to opera, as well as the world-renowned Festival of Contemporary Music.
Symphony Hall
With its superb acoustics and architectural beauty, Symphony Hall is prized as one
of the top three concert halls in the world. Declared a National Historic Landmark
in 2000, it is not only the home of the BSO, but also a highly sought-after venue for
a wide range of performers, from popular entertainers such as David Sedaris and
Bobby McFerrin to renowned ensembles from around the world. During the
2009–10 season, Symphony Hall continued its long association with the Celebrity
Series of Boston and the Handel & Haydn Society, and hosted a variety of other
presentations as well.

The Tanglewood Festival Chorus at 40
Founded in 1970 by conductor John Oliver, who holds the Alan J. and Suzanne
W. Dworsky chair, the Tanglewood Festival Chorus celebrated its 40th anniversary
during the 2009-10 season. The official chorus of the Boston Symphony Orchestra,
the 280-member ensemble is composed entirely of highly skilled volunteer singers
who audition for the privilege of lending their voices to some of the world’s great
choral/symphonic masterpieces, like the 2009-10 season’s Stravinsky/Mozart
program, Mahler’s powerful Resurrection Symphony, and Mendelssohn’s Elijah.
In addition to performing with the BSO in Symphony Hall and at Tanglewood,
members of the TFC regularly perform with the Boston Pops and are a vital
component of the Holiday Pops each year.
Boston Symphony Association of Volunteers Celebrates 25 years
The BSO has relied on the assistance of
volunteers for decades, but in 1984, a group
of loyal and dedicated supporters of the
BSO and Tanglewood first joined forces to
ensure that all aspects of the BSO's many
educational, service, and fundraising
initiatives were top-notch. The Boston
Symphony Association of Volunteers (BSAV)
celebrated its silver anniversary in the
2009-10 season, and the thriving program
shows no signs of slowing down.
BSAV members also play a vital role in many
BSO initiatives and programs, such as the
Instrument Playgrounds, flower decorating,
exhibit docents, and the BSO membership
table—among others. And if you've ever
visited the Symphony Shop or Tanglewood
Glass Houses, engaged the assistance of
an usher at Tanglewood, or taken a tour of
Symphony Hall or the Tanglewood campus,
then you have likely encountered a member
of the BSAV in action.
Though they may not receive the same
attention as the musicians and conductors,
members of the BSAV are nonetheless
instrumental in helping the BSO carry out
its musical mission. Their devoted and
enthusiastic support is a sustaining element
for the BSO, Pops, and Tanglewood. Members
of the BSAV diligently dedicate hours upon
hours to the behind-the-scenes elements for
marquee events such as A Company Christmas
at Pops, Presidents at Pops, Opening Nights,
and the Tanglewood Wine and Food Classic,
to name just a few.
During the 2009-10 season, some 850
volunteers donated more than 20,000 hours
of their time in passionate support of the
BSO. For the last 25 years, the BSAV has been
a valued partner in helping the BSO maintain
its legacy of musical excellence and sustain
its community and educational outreach to
spread the joy of music far and wide.

Education and Community Programs at the BSO The Boston Symphony Orchestra's diverse educational initiatives have been a focus of the organization's mission since
the BSO's original concerts for young people in 1888. Today, more than 35,000 youths participate in programs intended
to make music accessible and engaging for young listeners, while the BSO’s community initiatives introduce classical
music to people who might not otherwise experience such performances in person. Around the world, the BSO’s website,
bso.org, engages more than 7 million people each year with interactive resources and tools for music appreciation
and education.
SCHOOL-BASED INITIATIVES
The Boston Symphony Orchestra is committed
to supporting and strengthening music
education in grades K-12 by partnering with
area public schools. From visits by BSO
musicians in classrooms to special resources
the BSO provides to educators for curriculum
planning and professional development, the
BSO collaborates with educators to create
music education initiatives that are best
suited to today's diverse student population.
The BSO Academy School Initiative is a pilot
program in conjunction with the Thomas A.
Edison K-8 School in Brighton, MA, where
music not only supports learning as part
of the core curriculum, but also becomes
an essential element for the larger school
community. In addition to providing curriculum
development expertise and professional
development opportunities to faculty and
staff, the BSO provides support for schoolbased instrument lessons and choral study,
and arranges weekly performances for the
student body by professional musicians in
the Boston area. UBS is the BSO Academy's
Lead Inaugural Sponsor.
Musicians in the Schools sends BSO musicians
into classrooms for in-person demonstrations
of the power of music through performance,
as well as hands-on activities and other
interactive exercises. These experiences
give students an understanding of musical
artistry, forging new connections to music
and its relevance in their society and their world.
The award-winning Education Resource
Center provides educators with crucial
resources to enrich their music education
programs and tools to help them identify
ways that music can enhance all classroom
learning. Through school-based community
partnerships in Cambridge, Chelsea,
Lawrence, Lynn, Peabody, Worcester, and
several Berkshire communities, the BSO
helps empower teachers to become advocates
for music education in their schools.
This partnership also informs parents of the
benefits of music in the school curriculum,
giving them tools to raise awareness of
the important role of music to learning
and development.
PERFORMANCE-BASED INITIATIVES
Keeping live performances accessible and
affordable is a central focus of the BSO's
educational efforts.
Through free Community Chamber Concerts
at churches and community venues throughout
Greater Boston, the BSO reaches increasingly
diverse and broad audiences. These concerts
draw up to 500 listeners per performance
and provide families with the opportunity
to spend special time together. Each concert
is followed by a casual reception and Q&A
session with the musicians.
The popular <40=$20 initiative, which offers
$20 BSO concert tickets to patrons under
the age of 40, returned thanks to a generous
contribution by an anonymous underwriter.
Intended to make performances more affordable
for students and young professionals, the
program sold more than 11,000 tickets in
2009–10, which was an increase of 48 percent
from the year before.
For a one-time annual cost of $25, the BSO
College Card gives college students the
opportunity to attend 25 BSO concerts
annually, opening the door to affordable,
world-class performances. High school
students can join the Young Musician’s Club
for $15, which entitles them to attend up to 12
concerts with special pre-concert receptions
with musicians and guest artists. Together,
these programs make performances more
affordable and introduce more than 18,000
young people to the joys of live music
each year.
At Tanglewood, the BSO's Friday Morning
Rehearsals are open exclusively to groups of
students, teachers, and parents, while the Kids’
Corner and Watch and Play are free, interactive
music programs for children attending open
rehearsals or concerts on Saturday morning
and/or Sunday afternoons.
WORLDWIDE EDUCATIONAL REACH
The BSO’s popular website, bso.org, is among
the most robust and often-visited orchestral
websites in the world. The vast reach of the
internet allows students and music aficionados
around the globe to access a wealth of resources
that give additional depth and context to
BSO performances and music in general.
The Classical Companion enhances the concertgoing experience with archival images, video
and sound clips, and interviews with composers
and performers. These features combine to
narrate an engaging historical context and
listening guide for select BSO concerts.
Delivering a wide array of information, BSO
podcasts for Symphony, Pops, and Tanglewood
programs are available for download to the
public through iTunes or bso.org. Though
each is geared toward a specific concert program,
the rich content appeals to an audience that
extends far beyond concertgoers. Last year,
115,000 listeners subscribed to BSO podcasts,
with 86,000 listening more than once a month.
Additional educational resources online
include curriculum kits for educators, an
archival library of our online conservatory
modules, and Internet TV—allowing visitors
to explore the multiple facets of the BSO.
The BSO Mobile Club continues to provide
technologically savvy concertgoers with
performance reminders, premiums, and
other special offers directly on their mobile
phones. The BSO's enhanced new-media
presence on social networking sites such as
Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube helps the
organization maintain a highly visible online
profile while reaching an active group of
music lovers across the world.
Much of the BSO's multimedia content is
also available through the new online Media
Center and companion iPhone app, both
launched last year. More information about
these tools is available on page 23.
DIRECT ENGAGEMENT WITH YOUTH ARTISTS
The BSO fosters future generations of young
artists by engaging them in programs to
expand their skills and provide them with a
venue to showcase their burgeoning talents.
Winter Vacation at the BSO offers workshops
in recorder, percussion, and chorus for
students in grades K-3. The weeklong
program culminates with a performance by
the young musicians on the stage of historic
Symphony Hall.
Days in the Arts at Tanglewood (DARTS)
attracts middle-schoolers from across the
state for a residential arts program with
instruction in music, visual arts, theater,
dance, and creative writing. Students also
glean inspiration from the Berkshires' many
cultural offerings such as Jacob’s Pillow,
Shakespeare & Company, and the Norman
Rockwell Museum. In 2010, DARTS was
sponsored in part by Bank of America.
The BSO is also a founding partner in Project
STEP (String Training and Educational
Program for Students of Color), a program
that identifies, trains, educates, and guides
students for careers in classical music as
soloists, teachers, chamber music performers,
and orchestra members. Additionally,
Tanglewood is home to the Boston University
Tanglewood Institute, a summer training
program for high school musicians.
Founded as part of the Youth Concert Series
in 1959, the BSO’s Concerto Competition
inspires advanced high school instrumentalists
by offering the winners the opportunity to
perform at a BSO Family concert or a Boston
Pops concert.
The Visiting Student Ensemble Program
attracts middle and high school performance
groups from around the country to attend a
concert, participate in master classes taught
by BSO musicians, and to rehearse
at Symphony Hall.
The Boston Symphony Orchestra Teen Council
is a year-long mentoring and education
program for high school students that helps
them develop skills to reach out to their
peers and families to help foster a life-long
appreciation for the arts.

The Boston Symphony Orchestra is known for its diverse
programs, its passionate performances, and its tradition of
innovation, and last season—the orchestra's 129th—was no
exception. Continuing the BSO's custom, the season blended
classical masterpieces with works by the brightest stars
among today's celebrated composers, leading audiences
through the unmatched excitement of the intersection of
virtuosic performance and inspired composition. During the
2009-10 season, the BSO reinforced its reputation as one of
the world’s most accomplished and versatile ensembles,
presenting compelling performances of music ranging from
Baroque gems to the complete Beethoven symphonies in
back-to-back concerts to contemporary works reflecting the
rich diversity of our age. The programs and performances
in the 2009-10 season were dynamic, imaginative, and
groundbreaking—presenting the best that the world of
symphonic music can offer. The entire 2009-10 Symphony
Hall season was sponsored exclusively by UBS, continuing a
partnership that began in 2003.

The BSO at Home
The Boston Symphony Orchestra’s 2009–10 Symphony Hall season kicked off with a
gala opening night featuring the world premiere of John Williams' On Willows and
Birches for harp and orchestra, written for and performed by recently retired BSO
principal harpist Ann Hobson Pilot. Led by James Levine, Opening Night at Symphony
also featured Debussy’s shimmering La Mer and the dynamic Evgeny Kissin as
soloist in Chopin’s Piano Concerto No. 2. Though Maestro Levine subsequently
missed some of the season due to urgent, unanticipated back surgery, his visionary
leadership was felt throughout the year in imaginative and compelling programming
that balanced classic masterpieces with music by some of the world’s most
distinguished contemporary composers. Season highlights included the complete
cycle of Beethoven’s nine symphonies in consecutive concerts—a subscription series
first for the BSO­—as well as Mendelssohn’s moving choral masterpiece Elijah and
Strauss' luminous Four Last Songs, with soprano Renée Fleming. In January 2010,
the BSO’s recording of Ravel’s complete Daphnis et Chloé with James Levine won
a Grammy Award for Best Orchestral Performance, the first Grammy awarded the
orchestra on its own label, BSO Classics. In July, the orchestra and James Levine
released a live recording of Mozart symphonies 14, 18, 20, 39, and 41.
Visionary Commissions
An ardent champion of the music of our time, Maestro Levine programmed first
performances of works by four of America’s most influential contemporary
composers—John Williams, Elliott Carter, Peter Lieberson, and John Harbison.
Canadian bass-baritone Gerald Finley was the soloist in the BSO commission Songs
of Love and Sorrow, Lieberson’s touching follow-up to his Neruda Songs. Violinist
Mira Wang and cellist Jan Vogler made their BSO debuts in the premiere of Harbison’s
Double Concerto. In addition, three co-commissions were given American premieres:
BSO principal flutist Elizabeth Rowe premiered Carter’s Flute Concerto; Sir Colin
Davis conducted James MacMillan’s St. John Passion, which was written at the
conductor’s request to celebrate his own 80th birthday; and Ludovic Morlot led
Augusta Read Thomas’ colorful Helios Choros II (Sun God Dancers).
20
Inspired Collaborations
Throughout the season, audiences were treated to an unusually rich slate of some
of the most venerable guest conductors in the world, including Christoph von
Dohnányi and Fabio Luisi in his BSO debut. Bernard Haitink, the BSO LaCroix Family
Fund Conductor Emeritus, conducted three separate programs to celebrate his
landmark 80th birthday, the first of which featured flute virtuoso Sir James Galway
celebrating his 70th birthday. Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos, whose deep relationship
with the BSO goes back more than a decade, conducted Mendelssohn’s epic Elijah,
one of the Beethoven symphony cycle programs, and two other programs featuring
music especially close to his heart—Rossini’s popular Stabat Mater and excerpts
from Albéniz luminous Iberia in honor of the 100th anniversary of the great
composer’s death. Ton Koopman, one of the leaders of the period instrument
movement, led a program of C.P.E. Bach, Schubert, and the Haydn Cello Concerto
No. 1 with soloist Yo-Yo Ma. Daniele Gatti led the BSO in New York, where the
orchestra was given the place of honor opening the 2009–10 Carnegie Hall season.
BSO Assistant Conductors Julian Kuerti and Shi-Yeon Sung gracefully stepped in to
lead performances at the beginning of the season, showing the tremendous poise
and insight that won them their positions.
Guest artists during the Symphony Hall season featured several debuts as well as
some of the most highly sought instrumentalists on the musical scene, including
Joshua Bell, Hilary Hahn, Frank Peter Zimmermann, Peter Serkin, Pierre-Laurent
Aimard, and Emanuel Ax. A rich array of vocal masterpieces showcased the exquisite
talents of Stephanie Blythe, Matthew Polenzani, and Christine Brewer, among
others, as well as an especially exciting roster of up-and-coming vocalists of the
younger generation making their BSO debuts.

Boston Symphony Chamber Players
Composed of BSO principal string, woodwind, and brass players, the Boston
Symphony Chamber Players continue to be considered one of the world’s
outstanding chamber ensembles, acclaimed not only for the high artistry of their
performances, but for the diversity of their repertoire. The 2009-10 four-concert
subscription season featured a dynamic array of music that spanned the centuries,
from Mozart and Beethoven to rarely played masterworks to contemporary gems
by composers Elliott Carter, Michael Gandolfi, and William Bolcom. Continuing
their survey of the chamber works of Brahms, the Chamber Players’ series
included three of the great composer’s masterworks, including the lyrical Quartet
No. 3 for Piano and Strings, featuring Canadian pianist Marc-André Hamelin.
Pianist David Deveau joined the Chamber Players for a lively Hungarian-themed
program featuring Bartók’s Quintet for Piano and Strings.
Opening Night at Symphony 2009 Raises Record $1 Million
On an evening where the formalwear of
the audience matched that of the orchestra,
the celebratory standard of dress was

them) can be hundreds of years old—
the concept of computers and iPhones
might not seem to fit. But keeping up with
advancing technology, the BSO launched
two new programs last year, the online

For 125 years, the Boston Pops has been attracting large and
diverse audiences to their concerts, and sending them away
with a tune they can hum. What began in 1885 as an ensemble
playing a modest series of Promenade Concerts has grown
into the most recorded and arguably the most beloved
orchestra in the country, renowned for an ingenious and
engaging blend of light classics and popular contemporary
fare. A signature combination of tradition and innovation
has earned the orchestra the moniker “America’s Orchestra,”
and through live concerts, recordings, television, and special
events, the Pops reaches millions of music lovers each year.
The Pops’ 125th anniversary season celebrated the orchestra’s
extraordinary legacy through the distinctive contributions
of its three most influential conductors—Arthur Fiedler,
John Williams, and Keith Lockhart. Fidelity Investments was
once again the sponsor for the entire 2009-10 Pops season.

Holiday Pops
One of Boston’s most cherished traditions is Holiday Pops, which combines seasonal
favorites with spirited storytelling and a highly anticipated visit from Santa.
The orchestra launched ticket sales for the 2009 Holiday Pops with the release
of one of its most popular new holiday pieces, “The Twelve Days of Christmas,”
arranged by David Chase. After a flood of letters and phone calls requesting a
recording of the show-stopper, the Pops released the arrangement as a digital
download at bso.org and amazon.com. Conductor Keith Lockhart and members of
the Pops also made their annual visit to Children's Hospital, where they performed
a special concert for scores of young patients, brightening their day with holiday
cheer. Provocative indie cabaret queen Amanda Palmer of the Dresden Dolls helped
the Pops culminate the holiday season and ring in 2010 with a special New Year’s
Eve celebration at Symphony Hall.
Fidelity Investments Helps Young Musicians Play with the Pops
In spring of 2010, and for the second
consecutive year, Fidelity Investments, in
association with the Boston Pops, conducted
a citywide competition giving Boston and
Cambridge public high school musicians
and vocalists the opportunity to perform on
stage with the Boston Pops at Symphony
Hall. The 2010 competition was expanded to
include Los Angeles, Chicago, and Houston,
and was launched with a four-city simulcast
hosted by Academy Award®-winning actor
Jamie Foxx and connecting more than 1,500
high school students via satellite.
In Boston, the four winning acts represented
a wide cross section of musical styles
spanning jazz, pop, bluegrass, and Chinese
folk: Charlie Brown Blues Band from Boston

Holiday Pops
One of Boston’s most cherished traditions is Holiday Pops, which combines seasonal
favorites with spirited storytelling and a highly anticipated visit from Santa.
The orchestra launched ticket sales for the 2009 Holiday Pops with the release
of one of its most popular new holiday pieces, “The Twelve Days of Christmas,”
arranged by David Chase. After a flood of letters and phone calls requesting a recording
of the show-stopper, the Pops released the arrangement as a digital download at bso.
org and amazon.com. Conductor Keith Lockhart and members of the Pops also made
their annual visit to Children's Hospital, where they performed a special concert for
scores of young patients, brightening their day with holiday cheer. Provocative indie
cabaret queen Amanda Palmer of the Dresden Dolls helped the Pops culminate the
holiday season and ring in 2010 with a special New Year’s Eve celebration at Symphony
Hall.
Spring Into Summer
The Pops began its official 125th anniversary celebration with a May Day event at the
Prudential Center and a gala season opener May 4 sponsored by Fidelity Investments,
featuring Tony Award-winner Idina Menzel and the inimitable Doc Severinsen, who
holds the distinction of having performed under the batons of the Pops’ three most
famous conductors—Arthur Fiedler, John Williams, and Keith Lockhart. Food Network
"Ace of Cakes" star Duff Goldman also stopped in to deliver a birthday cake for the Pops
Pops PremiereS The Dream Lives On: A Portrait of the Kennedy Brothers
The Dream Lives On: A Portrait of the
Kennedy Brothers, a new commission from
Keith Lockhart and the Boston Pops by
composer Peter Boyer and lyricist Lynn
Ahrens and made possible by the generous
support of Paul and Catherine Braverman
and Robert and Evelyn Doran, premiered at
Symphony Hall on May 18, 2010. Acclaimed
actors Robert De Niro, Ed Harris, Morgan
Freeman, and Cherry Jones breathed life
into the words of John, Robert, and Edward
Kennedy. The moving piece drew a sellout
crowd to Symphony Hall for the premiere
and was repeated for another full house as
33
part of the Presidents at Pops event on
the following evening. The work was also
televised in its entirety on WCVB-TV's
Chronicle, and a live recording was released
on CD and digital download at the BSO's
Digital Music Store.

Collaborative Triumphs
The Pops celebrated their quasquicentennial season with a dazzling array of guest
artists. The orchestra commissioned award-winning composer Peter Boyer and
lyricist Lynn Ahrens to create a fitting tribute to another set of American icons, the
Kennedy brothers. The Pops premiered The Dream Lives On: A Portrait of the Kennedy
Brothers at Symphony Hall on May 18 with Robert De Niro, Ed Harris, Morgan
Freeman, and Cherry Jones bringing the moving words of the Kennedy brothers to
life against the stirring orchestral score. Superstar Toby Keith joined the orchestra for
the annual “Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular,” the nation's premiere Independence
Day celebration. Hosted by Craig Ferguson, the July 4 event drew more than
500,000 people to the Hatch Shell and was broadcast live on the CBS Television
Network to another 6.7 million viewers. Ben Folds, solo artist and frontman/pianist
of Ben Folds Five, joined the Pops in October for a sold-out Symphony Hall concert
also featuring the opening act Family of the Year, a folk band chosen for the honor
from among 650 entries in an initiative created in partnership with Sonicbids.com.
In December 2009, the Pops was nominated for three Grammy Awards for its recording
Chris Botti – In Boston. The Pops also teamed up with Haitian-born violinist and
composer Daniel Bernard Roumain for its first-ever education initiative, which
brought Roumain, Keith Lockhart, and members of the Pops directly into classrooms
at local schools for in-person musical demonstrations.

Pops Mark 125th Anniversary with Donor-Supported Programs
The Pops' musical and cultural timeline was
also vividly recreated with an installation
of nine archival panels throughout
Symphony Hall. Supported by Overseer
Emerita Joan P. Curhan and Ronald C. Curhan,
the fascinating displays traced Pops history by
way of items culled from the BSO's archives,
including photos, letters, concert programs,
artifacts, and music.
A B O V E : The BSO brass quintet performs at the
Prudential Center.
The Boston Pops celebrated its 125th
anniversary in grand style in 2009–10, and
an array of loyal benefactors brought plenty
of presents to the party. Throughout the
anniversary year, several donor-supported
initiatives and events helped honor the
Pops esteemed place in musical history.
To commemorate 125 years of the orchestra's
American musical legacy, the Mugar
Foundation supported the creation of the
Pops documentary, "America's Orchestra:
Celebrating 125 Years of the Boston Pops."
The film, which aired on PBS TV stations
across the country, is a star-packed
testimonial to the Pops, complete with
archival and current performance footage,
and interviews with past and present
collaborators and conductors.
To groom the next generation of musicians
and music lovers, Conductor Keith Lockhart
and celebrated composer and violinist
Daniel Bernard Roumain toured three area
schools to present a program of interactive,
educational performances with musicians
from the Boston Pops. Supported by Natixis
Global Asset Management through the
courtesy of John T. Hailer, the program
forged connections between music and the
lives of today's students.
The Pops took to the road to bring its beloved
music to the public with its Pops in the Park!
series. Supported by Bicon Dental Implants
and Implant Dentistry Centre and in
partnership with the Emerald Necklace
Conservancy, the Boston Pops Brass Quintet
offered three free concerts in some of the
area's most beautiful parks including
Pinebank at Jamaica Pond and Allerton
Overlook at Olmsted Park. The series
also included a Boston Pops Swing
Orchestra performance on City Hall Plaza
conducted by Bill Elliott and generously
underwritten by the New Balance Foundation
as part of Boston Mayor Thomas Menino's
Wednesday Night Concert Series.
The year of Pops celebrations culminated
with the 125th Anniversary Pops Concert
on the Common, a free public concert
presented in cooperation with the Boston
Parks and Recreation Department featuring
Conductor Keith Lockhart and the Boston
Pops, which was underwritten by Fidelity
Investments with additional support
provided by the New England Cadillac
Dealers. Showcasing a cross-section of the
Pops' most popular and beloved pieces, the
performance drew thousands to help the
Pops cap off its gala, year-long anniversary
celebration—and to kick off the next 125
years for "America's Orchestra."
The Pops also reached out to a host of current
young performers for a special collaboration
with NPR's "From the Top" program.
The radio taping at Symphony Hall, which
was supported by Pamela Kunkemueller,
showcased six young composers and
performers, ranging in age from 9 to 17,
displaying their virtuosity in a variety of
new and traditional works.

For more than 70 years, Tanglewood has provided a
sublime experience of musical performances of the highest
artistry amidst the pastoral beauty of the Berkshire Hills. As
always, the heart of the Tanglewood season was the BSO
in 22 performances of music representing three centuries
of orchestral masterworks led by some of the world’s great
conductors. Classical music programming was complemented
by a colorful palette of diverse presentations that offered
something for everyone. The Tanglewood Music Center
celebrated its 70th anniversary, continuing to offer a wide
array of spectacular performances by its talented Fellows
who spent their summers learning from many of the classical
music world's finest teachers. DARTS (Days in the Arts at
Tanglewood) immersed urban, suburban, and rural 6th-8th
graders in a variety of activities designed to ignite a lifelong
appreciation of music and the arts, while special promotions
and ticket programs, including a partnership with the Clark
Art Institute, made Tanglewood more accessible with options
to suit every budget. Bank of America returned for its third
summer as exclusive season sponsor of Tanglewood.

The BSO at Tanglewood
Year after year, the glorious environs of Tanglewood spark some of the Boston
Symphony Orchestra’s most inspired music-making. The orchestra’s 2010 season at
Tanglewood kicked off with the Opening Night at Tanglewood event, centered
around the performance of Mahler’s monumental Symphony No. 2, Resurrection, led
by Michael Tilson Thomas. The BSO was joined by the Tanglewood Festival Chorus,
under the direction of John Oliver, soprano Layla Claire, and mezzo-soprano
Stephanie Blythe. The gala event, which included a pre-concert benefactor party and
post-concert reception, celebrated the 70th anniversary of the Tanglewood Music
Center and included special historical photos and a video presentation honoring
faculty and former Fellows, including Maestro Tilson Thomas and the evening’s
acclaimed soloists. Sponsored by Arbella Insurance Group Charitable Foundation,
Opening Night at Tanglewood was chaired by Trustee Cynthia and Oliver Curme,
and Penny and Overseer Claudio Pincus, and raised $395,000 to support Tanglewood.
Despite Music Director James Levine’s absence due to recuperation from back surgery,
Tanglewood fans were thrilled by the wealth of musical luminaries who enriched
the orchestra’s performances. Guest conductors included such venerable maestros
as Christoph von Dohnányi, Charles Dutoit, Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos, Hans Graf,
and Kurt Masur. Johannes Debus made his BSO debut conducting a concert
performance of Mozart’s rousing Abduction from the Seraglio. Guest artists during
the season included several debuts and such perennial favorites as Joshua Bell,
Richard Goode, Yo-Yo Ma, Dawn Upshaw, and Pinchas Zukerman. BSO principal
flutist Elizabeth Rowe and guest soloist Alisa Weilerstein, cello, joined conductor
Miguel Harth-Bedoya for one of the more striking offerings of the season, the multimedia
exploration of the ancient Inca empire, “Caminos del Inka: A Musical Journey.”

Pops at Tanglewood
The Boston Pops made three appearances during Tanglewood 2010, beginning with
a special July 2 concert honoring the orchestra’s 125th anniversary and featuring
Idina Menzel and Doc Severinsen. Folk icon Arlo Guthrie joined the Pops for a concert
that also featured the Tanglewood premiere of The Dream Lives On: A Portrait of
the Kennedy Brothers. Film Night, with beloved film composer and Pops Laureate
Conductor John Williams, honored director Steven Spielberg and recreated some
of the great musical moments in Hollywood history. In addition, the Pops joined
the BSO and TMC Orchestra for the ever-popular Tanglewood on Parade, which
culminated in an evening concert that celebrated John Williams' 30th anniversary
at Tanglewood.
John Williams Celebrates 30 th Summer at Tanglewood
Part of the joy of summer at Tanglewood is
the rich diversity of musical programming
each season offers. For three decades, Pops
Laureate Conductor John Williams has been
a part of that musical montage, leading the
Pops in many unforgettable programs at
some of the summer season's most popular
events. To celebrate Williams' landmark
30th summer at Tanglewood, the Pops
turned the spotlight on Williams, not just
for his work as a conductor, but also for his
many contributions to American music as
a composer.
Williams' many memorable movie scores
formed the core of the annual Tanglewood
on Parade event, a perennial summertime
favorite. The BSO, Pops, and Tanglewood
Music Center Orchestra honored Williams'
long musical legacy by presenting some of
his most admired concert and film scores
including Superman, JFK, Harry Potter, and
Memoirs of a Geisha. Special guests Yo-Yo
Ma and James Taylor also paid homage to
Williams before he took the stage and the
baton to conduct the event's traditional finale,
Tchaikovsky’s rousing 1812 Overture, complete
with cannons.
The ever-popular Film Night program—
which Williams himself originated in 2002—
featured works from his 35-year collaboration
with legendary filmmaker Stephen Spielberg.
Under the direction of the composer himself,
the Boston Pops played Williams' works from
Hollywood smash hits such as Jaws, Close
Encounters of the Third Kind, Saving Private
Ryan, and Raiders of the Lost Ark. As is the
tradition at Film Night, clips from all of the
classic films accompanied the musical
performances, adding another enjoyable
dimension to the fun and festive evening.
Both anniversary events took place before
enthralled capacity crowds, whose appreciative
ovations for Williams and his music were a
fitting tribute to a man who helped to bolster
the Boston Pops' long legacy as "America's
Orchestra."

A Musical Tapestry
Tanglewood’s extraordinary diversity is part of its distinctive profile, and the 2010
season was among the most wide-reaching on record. Perennial favorites like
“A Prairie Home Companion” and the Mark Morris Dance Group were complemented
by Yo-Yo Ma’s Silk Road Project, Benjamin Bagby’s “Beowulf: The Epic in Performance,”
and cellist Peter Wispelwey’s rare single-evening traversal of Bach’s complete Suites
for Solo Cello. On the popular side, jazz legend Herbie Hancock and folk/rock icons
Crosby, Stills & Nash enlivened the summer roster, and Audra McDonald sold
out her solo Ozawa Hall performance of “A New American Songbook.” Longtime
collaborators James Taylor and Carole King shared a Tanglewood stage for three
sold-out concerts. The season closed with the 23rd annual Tanglewood Jazz Festival
over Labor Day weekend.
TFC Marks Four Decades as the Voices of the BSO
In 1970, John Oliver had an idea. For much
of the Boston Symphony's history, the
orchestra had enlisted the help of area
choruses when it needed vocal support.
John, however, thought that an orchestra
of the BSO's caliber should be accompanied
by a chorus of the same credentials. After
being named Director of Choral and Vocal
Activities at the Tanglewood Music Center,
he suggested that the BSO should form its
own chorus for summer performances at
Tanglewood. From that simple idea, the
legendary Tanglewood Festival Chorus
(TFC) was born.
Founded and still led by Oliver, the TFC
kicked off a year-long celebration of its
40th anniversary in April 2010. Despite the
group's name, the scope and impact of the
TFC's work has grown far beyond its initial
performance of Maher's Ninth Symphony
44
at the BSO's Berkshire home in 1970. In the
last 40 years, the dedicated group of 280
all-volunteer singers has accompanied the
BSO and Pops for more than 900 performances
at Symphony Hall, Tanglewood, and around
the world.
In addition to their full slate of concerts
in Boston, the Berkshires, and beyond, the
TFC also marked its milestone by releasing
TFC: Celebrating the 40th Anniversary of
the Tanglewood Festival Chorus (CD cover
seen left), a collection of live performances
recorded at Ozawa Hall between 1998
and 2005. This album, coupled with years of
consistent professionalism and exquisite
performances, is proof positive that the
TFC's rich musical tradition is still going
strong after four glorious decades.
Tanglewood Music Center Celebrates 70th Anniversary
Since its founding by legendary BSO music director Serge Koussevitzky in 1940, the
Tanglewood Music Center has offered exceptional young professional musicians
advanced musical study, working with members of the orchestra and with some
of the most respected guest artists, composers, and conductors in the world. In the
summer of 2010, 157 Fellows hailing from 21 different countries and 30 different
states were chosen for this extraordinary opportunity, which provides free tuition,
room, and board for all participants through the generosity of many fellowship
donors. Throughout this 70th anniversary season, programs of the BSO and the
TMC Orchestra honored the esteemed composers who have comprised the TMC’s
composition faculty over the course of its history, including Aaron Copland,
Gunther Schuller, Oliver Knussen, and John Harbison; and many distinguished TMC
vocal, instrumental, and conducting alumni returned to perform. Over the summer,
the TMC Fellows performed music ranging from chamber pieces to full orchestra
concerts to a fully staged production of Strauss' Ariadne auf Naxos. The culmination
of the season-long celebration was the 2010 Festival of Contemporary Music, which
presented music by many of the most respected figures of the 20th and 21st centuries,
all of whom had taught and lead activities at the TMC. Highlights of the season
included the American premiere of Colin Matthews' Turning Point and a concert
performance of an operatic double bill–—Knussen’s Where the Wild Things Are
and Harbison’s Full Moon in March.

The Boston Symphony Orchestra ended the fiscal year on August 31, 2010
with a modest operating surplus of $279,000, on total expenses of $80.8
million. This year’s essentially break-even result was made possible by the
infusion of $2.3 million in Immediate Impact Funds made possible by the
extraordinary generosity of those donors contributing to this multi-year
initiative undertaken by the Board of Trustees to provide transitional
operating support to help offset the recessionary impact of economic forces
in 2008 and 2009. Without the benefit of this year’s Immediate Impact
Funds, the operating loss for fiscal year 2010 would have been $2.0 million.
These results reflect the continuation of a period of increasing financial
challenge for the BSO. While 2009-10 Winter Subscription Season sales
experienced difficulty, Holiday Pops and Spring Pops sales exceeded
expectations. In addition, Annual Contributed Income (exclusive of
Immediate Impact Funds) rebounded from the significant decline
experienced in FY2009, returning to the FY2008 level of giving achieved
prior to the economic crisis. Total operating expenses for FY2010 declined
by $1.8 million compared with FY2009, reflecting the implementation of
a range of organization-wide cost control efforts.
The market value of BSO Endowment as of August 31, 2010 was $354.4
million, up by $24.4 million from a year earlier. While the BSO Endowment
assets and Pensions Trust Fund assets have seen some recovery since the
market decline in 2008, their impact on projected operating results will
continue to be felt for some time. The Endowment will see a diminished
income-producing capacity for several years to come, as the BSO uses a
twelve-quarter trailing average market value to compute the endowment
draw. At the same time, the reduced value of pension assets, combined
with lower interest rates used to value the pension obligation, have
significantly increased the annual expense for the pension plans in place
for the players and staff.
As mentioned in last year’s report, BSO management has undertaken steps
to implement a wide-ranging series of cost control measures to respond to
the changed financial environment. At the same time, the Board of Trustees
initiated and successfully completed a $12.0 million multi-year Immediate
Impact Funds campaign to generate additional operating support to help
maintain financial stability during this particularly challenging period.
These efforts are part of a broader plan to ensure that the institution emerges
from the economic crisis with a sound financial footing that positions the
BSO well for the years ahead.
