    CAROLINA PERFORMING ARTS 2010/11 BeijingDance/LDTX Tuesday & Wednesday, April 12 & 13 at 7:30pm carolina performing arts 10/11 1 carolina performing arts 10/11 3 Dear Friends For the last several months, we at Carolina Performing Arts have been working to finalize the schedule for our 2011-12 season. Every year, I find this process exhilarating and challenging, rewarding and frustrating. Our 2010-11 season has been filled with performances from legendary, established artists such as Yo-Yo Ma, Chick Corea and McCoy Tyner, as well as emerging voices like Nicola Benedetti, Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui (with his Sutra), and the young virtuosi who make up Gidon Kremer’s Kremerata Baltica. And there is much more to come in these last months. As we work to craft our new season, selecting works that engage, delight and enliven our 2010/11 SEASON audiences, I am constantly reminded of the budgetary considerations that make curating a season so difficult. As you probably know, the costs associated with bringing the caliber of art we have all come to expect from this series far exceed the revenue brought in from ticket sales alone. As we handpick each performance, I am constantly forced to consider cost, to weigh our curatorial mission against our bottom line, to ask myself, “Can we afford to bring this work to our audiences?” Many exciting artists do not make the cut. All told, ticket sales make up about 45% of the money needed to keep Carolina Performing Arts running. In a surrealist thought experiment, my colleagues in development and I often wonder what our season would look like at 45%.
