I have many meaningful memories from our last season and of this organization for well over a century and has allowed it to appreciate having this report to mark the accomplishments of a become one of the world’s most respected cultural institutions. As remarkable anniversary. As you review it, I hope you will share in we look back to recognize what was achieved during the CSO’s the recent success of the CSOA. 125th season, we honor our past and look ahead to what our legacy will be as we approach the next milestone. I commend the work of Riccardo Muti, our outstanding Zell Music Director, whose leadership continues to elevate the artistic level of the Orchestra and inspire audiences worldwide. Helen Zell Th at inspiration starts with the amazing rapport he has with the Chair, Board of Trustees members of the Orchestra and translates into their performances. Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association To see this in rehearsal as well as in concert during my fi rst year as Board Chair has deepened my appreciation for this special relationship. From the season’s opening weekend that included our fi rst subscription concert, the sixth annual Concert for Chicago, and a particularly festive Symphony Ball, to the internationally acclaimed performances of Verdi’s Falstaff and a tour of Asia that featured sold-out performances night aft er night, Muti and the CSO touched hundreds of thousands of listeners during the 125th season. Th e impact of these musical performances speaks to the relevance of classical music in a modern world and signifi es a bright future for the organization. I would like to thank the many custodians of that future—the CSOA’s Trustees, Governing Members, Women’s Board, the League, and the Overture Council—who steadfastly support the organization and regularly contribute their talents to its success. I am also grateful to the donors, foundations, corporations, sponsors, and patrons who are dedicated to our mission and who are our constant advocates. And to the amazing staff , led by CSOA President Jeff Alexander, who work every day to facilitate all that takes place at Symphony Center and beyond, I extend my heartfelt thanks. All those who support the CSO share a special bond through our mutual appreciation of the unparalleled classical musical experience provided by this Orchestra and enthusiastically make it a priority in our lives. 3 president’s message dear friends, The 125th anniversary season was an outstanding celebration of the artistic excellence that has long been the hallmark of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Over 400 concerts, community events, educational activities, and special gatherings, as well as a YouTube video with three million views, radio broadcasts, and recordings experienced by people around the world marked this historic year. Zell Music Director Riccardo Muti’s dedication to the symphonic and operatic repertoire performed at the highest artistic level has served as the cornerstone of the CSO’s artistic mission since his tenure began in 2010. Maestro Muti was a great proponent of honoring the anniversary through performances of works that received their world or U.S. premiere by the CSO—included in twenty-five concert programs over the course of the year. Another unmistakable highlight of the season was the presentation of Falstaff, for which The New York Times hailed Maestro Muti as “the King of Verdi” and described the Orchestra as, “a full symphonic ensemble [that] moved like a chamber group.” Maestro Muti also led a three-city U.S. tour in the fall, including the Orchestra’s debut in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and a five- city and ten-performance tour of Asia in January, marking the eighth tour to the region since 1977 and the 59th international tour since 1892. In addition, the 2015/16 season saw the release of two CSO Resound recordings: Berlioz’s Symphonie fantastique with its sequel, Lélio, ou le retour à la vie, narrated by actor Gérard Depardieu, and a digital release of Anthology of Fantastic Zoology by former Mead Composer-in-Residence Mason Bates. 4 We welcomed six new members to the Orchestra in 2015/16, Finally, I would like to thank CSOA Board Chair Helen Zell, including the Erika and Dietrich M.
