In addition to concert performances the Orchestra’s visits to Lyon and London will highlight cultural exchange, business growth, and community outreach. The Tour’s primary partner is the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania; supporting sponsors are HSBC, the Rhône-Alpes Region, Saint-Gobain, Pepper Hamilton, and Brian Communications. Additional support is provided by BDO France, Team PA, the City of Philadelphia, Visit Philadelphia, the Philadelphia Convention & Visitors Bureau, and John McFadden and Lisa Kabnick. The Philadelphia Orchestra’s 2015 Tour of Europe marks Yannick Nézet-Séguin and the Orchestra’s inaugural tour of Europe together, as well as the 60th anniversary of the Orchestra’s first visit to the European Continent, with 14 concerts in 10 cities over three weeks. Beginning May 21, 2015, the Tour makes debut appearances in Dortmund, where Nézet-Séguin is the Konzerthaus’s artist-in-residence, and Lyon. The Orchestra also makes stops in Luxembourg, Cologne, Dresden, Berlin, Paris, Vienna, and Amsterdam, concluding on June 6 in London. Both the Berlin and Dresden concerts take place as part of the Dresden Music Festival. Pianist Emanuel Ax, violinist Lisa Batiashvili, and pianist Jan Lisiecki join the Orchestra as soloists on the Tour. -more- Orchestra’s 2015 Tour of Europe Fosters Cultural and Economic Exchange 2 A series of special community engagement activities will take place in Lyon and London as a result of key partnerships with the delegations from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the City of Philadelphia. As they do in Philadelphia and in the other cities they visit around the globe, Philadelphia Orchestra musicians will engage in residency work, including a chamber concert where members of the Orchestra will sit side-by-side with musicians from the Orchestre National de Lyon. In London, a Community Weekend of Innovation, Music, and Art, a three-day initiative, blends the Orchestra’s two concerts at the Royal Festival Hall with a collection of community events. At St. Paul’s Way Trust School in Poplar, a former industrial borough of East London currently experiencing a cultural revitalization, musicians of the Orchestra and members of the Water City Orchestra will participate in a collaborative community concert. The Water City Orchestra was formed to allow residents, students, and those who work in the area to experience music-making and creating art together. Trade delegations from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the City of Philadelphia will sponsor a variety of activities for stakeholders in conjunction with the Orchestra’s concerts in Berlin, Dortmund, Vienna, and Amsterdam, including receptions, seminars, and networking opportunities as a means of showcasing the best of arts and culture for stakeholders’ clients and business associates. “The Philadelphia Orchestra is proud to ‘wave the banner’ for the City of Philadelphia, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and the entire United States as we tour through Europe this spring, supporting multiple initiatives that will collectively promote Philadelphia as the global city it is,” said Orchestra President and CEO Allison Vulgamore. “We are cultural emissaries, bringing people together around music when we travel, as we do at home. We look forward to sharing the electricity between Yannick Nézet-Séguin and our musicians, and the magnificence of the Philadelphia Sound, on the concert stages of the musical capitals of Europe as well as in the communities where the citizens of those cities live and work. All of this is made possible by an outstanding team of sponsors and partners. We are honored and grateful for their support, their continued belief in the power of live music, and their inspirational leadership.” Lyon For several years, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the City of Philadelphia, and the Rhône-Alpes Region, where the city of Lyon is located, have enjoyed a deep-rooted and fruitful trade, investment, and tourism relationship. In 2015 the Commonwealth, under Governor Tom Wolf, coordinates an international trade mission organized around The Philadelphia Orchestra’s 2015 Tour of Europe. Working in tandem with the Consul General of France, the Mayor of Lyon, and the President of the Rhône-Alpes Region, The Philadelphia Orchestra conducts three days of performances and residency activities in Lyon and the surrounding region to engage local and international community members and business, civic, and cultural leaders, May 29, 30, and 31. A highlight of the business and cultural festival will convene these members of the Pennsylvania and Rhône-Alpes communities in Lyon around a very special side-by-side performance between musicians from Philadelphia and Lyon. On May 29 The Philadelphia Orchestra makes its debut in Lyon at the Auditorium de Lyon. This occasion is marked with a special display of a newly-cast Liberty Bell, completed by the Paccard Bell Foundry in honor of the Orchestra’s visit. The Foundry was commissioned in 1950 to cast 55 life-sized Liberty Bells, one for each state in -more- Orchestra’s 2015 Tour of Europe Fosters Cultural and Economic Exchange 3 the U.S., many of which sit in each state's Capitol. This Liberty Bell is equipped with a special and unique lighting and video feature, designed by Nicolas Ticot, the founder of XLR Project, one of Lyon’s most creative, artistic, and innovative lighting design studios. The bell symbolizes the close and longtime friendship between the Rhône-Alpes Region and the U.S., particularly the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The Orchestra and the Foundry, in conjunction with the U.S. Consulate in France, has arranged for the bell to be placed at the Auditorium de Lyon prior to the Orchestra concert. Concertgoers will have the opportunity to ring the bell and donations will be taken to support UNICEF. On May 30 and 31 The Philadelphia Orchestra will present community performances around Lyon, including a side- by-side concert on May 31 with the Orchestre National de Lyon. This concert is followed by a reception with the U.S. Consul General, leaders from the Rhône-Alpes Region, and distinguished international business and civic leaders. Understanding the unique opportunity around The Philadelphia Orchestra’s 2015 Tour of Europe, a group of Philadelphia-based civic, cultural, business, and economic development organizations have come together with a commitment to fostering new relationships, cultivating business opportunities, and participating in cultural exchange with peers in the Rhône-Alpes Region. Throughout their time in Lyon, business leaders from Philadelphia and Lyon will gather to make new connections and to share best practices for trade, investment, and tourism. This exchange, built around the cultural stage of The Philadelphia Orchestra’s presence, merges business, arts, and culture, and highlights Philadelphia’s commitment to working together for economic prosperity and global business expansion. Partners include Global Philadelphia, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Philadelphia Convention & Visitors Bureau, the Pennsylvania Department of Community & Economic Development, Visit Philadelphia, the City of Philadelphia, and the Franklin Institute. London The Philadelphia Orchestra concludes its European Tour with a three-day community celebration, with activities taking place across the city of London. From June 4 through 6 Orchestra musicians participate in a series of community engagement and business development activities, bringing the Philadelphians’ tradition of collective music-making and partnership across the pond. Sounding the Liberty Bell: A Weekend of Innovation, Music, and Art, begins on June 4 with the Philadelphia-London Enterprise Exchange and Innovative Business Reception, bringing business leaders together to engage in meaningful conversations and cultural exchanges. Also on June 4, business leaders and U.S.-based businesses are invited to participate in a special tour, starting at the foundry where Philadelphia’s Liberty Bell was cast, followed by visits to Olympic Park, the Bromley by Bow Centre, and ending at a large European bank organization for a 90-minute exchange of business opportunities in the area. On June 5 Philadelphia Orchestra Assistant Conductor Lio Kuokman leads a string sectional with musicians from The Philadelphia Orchestra and the Water City Orchestra, followed by a community concert on June 6 at St. Paul’s Way Trust School. The concert will be free to residents of the Poplar community.
