Dear Friends, As I Think Back on the 2014/15 Season, I Feel an Enormous Sense of Pride

2014/15 REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY 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) North Carolina Symphony Society

In addition to his quartet, audiences heard the Symphony perform with STATE OF THE SYMPHONY North Carolina’s own Kruger Brothers and Rhiannon Giddens. All of those guest artists donated their time and talents for the sold-out evening. During the past season, we had many things to celebrate as we went about Other guest artists throughout the year included pianist Lang Lang, our work as the state’s Symphony. We had a record-breaking year in ticket violinist Joshua Bell, and vocalist Storm Large singing with the always sales, and our fundraising efforts allowed us to balance the budget.

NORTH CAROLINA SYMPHONY EDUCATION SUPPORTERS SYMPHONY EDUCATION PROGRAM BIGGEST IN U.S. Holiday concert Music education has always been a cornerstone of the mission of the North with N.C. Master Chorale 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 funda- mentals 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, intro- duces students to the power of live orchestral music.
