444 FROM THE PRESIDENT & CEO

Dear RPO Family, HAPPY NEW YEAR! 2011 will be an exhilarating year for the RPO, highlighted by outstanding guest artists like Joshua Bell, among others . . . the bittersweet farewell to

WALTER COLLEY IMAGES beloved Music Director Christopher Seaman . . . and the arrival of Music Director-Designate Arild Remmereit when he takes the podium next fall. First, however, I want to note the wonderful addition to the facilities here. Just one year after completing the renovation of Kodak Hall and the adjoining spaces in Eastman Theatre, the Eastman School of Music has just dedicated its fabulous new East Wing. Featuring the world- class new Hatch Recital Hall, an orchestra-sized rehearsal space, and state of-the-art audio and video capabilities, the new wing will bring other direct benefits to RPO patrons, as well. Featured in the East Wing’s soaring Wolk Atrium, with its gorgeous Chihuly installation, are the brand new and convenient Box Office and Theatre Shop. And because the new wing connects to Eastman Theatre and extends to Swan Street adjacent to the East End Garage exit, ease of access will be improved, greatly reducing time spent outdoors in our colder weather. Also in December, the RPO’s newest undertaking—The Eastman Theatre: Fulfilling George Eastman’s Dream—received its official launch. This highly anticipated 200+ page book chronicles the Eastman Theatre from dream to design to reality. This project came to fruition through the drive and determination of a few important people. Foremost among these: Betty Strasenburgh for her foresight and tenacity in bringing this book to life and her generosity in underwriting its production; RPO Board Chair Suzanne Welch, the Project Manager; and of course, author Elizabeth Brayer, photographer Andy Olenick, and designer Kathryn D’Amanda. Thank you so much to this fantastic team. The book is available at www.rpo.org/EastmanTheatreBook and in the new Theatre Shop, where you also can find recordings by the RPO, our guest artists, and by Eastman faculty and alumni, as well as one-of-a-kind gift items. Now that winter is here, we hope you’ll visit Eastman Theatre regularly and warm up with the magnificent sounds of your RPO!

Sincerely,

Charles H. Owens President & CEO [email protected]
