HAWAII YOUTH SYMPHONY ♪ 2007-2008 Annual Report

Our Year-End Message

Dear HYS Friend, Looking back on the Youth Symphony’s 43rd season of providing quality music education, we reflect upon a year of great growth in our programming as well as student development. While proudly watching the achieve- ments of the 584 students enrolled in our music programs, the Board of Directors focused its efforts on planning for HYS’s future. With an eye on what lies ahead for our communities, the Board drafted HYS’s first strategic plan: a bold course for HYS to ensure that it can carry forth its commitment to provide any interested student, from any corner of Hawaii, access to high-quality musical opportunities, many of which cannot be found else- where in the state. Copies of HYS’s strategic plan are available on our website or by calling the HYS office. One of the year’s highlights worthy of special note was a fundraising effort for the Honolulu Symphony. Hear- ing of the financial fragility of the Honolulu Symphony and realizing the important role its musicians play in our communities and their own lives, HYS students created the Symphony Cents campaign. They started a collection among themselves and organized a rally on the Blaisdell Concert Hall lawn, inviting students throughout the state to attend. In February, they alerted the media, painted signs and produced live music to increase awareness about the Symphony’s need for community support. We applaud our students who raised more than $1,500 and recognized the significance of the Symphony musicians to their futures as well as that of our island community. Other highlights of the past year included: ♪ Celebration of the 20th annual Pacific Music Institute which attracted 119 music students from Oahu, Maui, Kauai, the Big Island and Japan for a week-long music immersion camp; ♪ A highly successful fundraising concert with guest artists Jake Shimabukuro, bassist Dean Taba and drum- mer Noel Okimoto. The students worked well with all three artists, each world-renowned musicians as well as excellent educators. Additionally, Dean and Noel gave an improvisational workshop for HYS students and Jake con- ducted a workshop at the Boys & Girls Club on behalf of HYS. During the year, HYS students also had the privilege of performing with Kauai’s own soprano Leinani Springer and legendary entertainer Marlene Sai. ♪ Solidification of a partnership with the Boys & Girls Club of Hawaii to further the reach of HYS’s Academy, an early- learning music institute. HYS provides four string orchestra programs as well as free band and general music classes in the Spalding Clubhouse. ♪ Recognition of HYS’s Chamber Music Program, in only its second year, with a week-long segment featuring one chamber group a day on KGMB’s Sunrise with Howard Dicus. ♪ Continual progress towards building the Hawai‘i Arts Center for Youth, a permanent shared home for Ballet Hawaii, Hawai‘i Youth Opera Chorus and HYS. Although we are still in search of the ideal location, the partnership remains committed to the effort which will secure the future for arts eduction in Hawaii. We look to the future with much enthusiasm and excitement for our Hawaii Youth Symphony. With each year that passes, demand for our programs grows. We are doing all we can to meet these increasing needs while protecting the integrity of our programs. We THANK YOU for your support throughout the year, and for helping us to build a future for music and for our children. Mahalo nui loa,

Roy E. King, Jr., President Henry Miyamura, Music Director Selena Ching, Executive Director
