We’re delighted you are with us celebrating another major milestone of our holiday extravaganza. It’s hard to believe Yuletide turns 30 this year! I’ll never forget my first year conducting Yuletide in 1994. At the time, I was still living in New York, leading the American Ballet Theatre as its Music Director. After conducting the month-long Yuletide Celebration, I thought, “well, that was a unique experience…sort of Radio City Music Hall meets Ed Sullivan meets Holiday on Ice (minus the ice!). ”But, I was hooked. No other orchestra was attempting to create a holiday experience like this, and I knew I just had to be a part of it. Best of all, leading Yuletide meant I could come home to Indiana for the holidays. Fast forward to today, I’m so proud to be working with and being inspired by an amazing orchestra, talented cast and an incredibly hard-working crew. When the curtain goes up for every performance, seeing a sea of wide-eyed children and smiling patrons is such a thrill for me. This year’s production features one of your favorite hosts, Sandi Patty, who has sung her way into our record books with seven Yuletides under her sequined and bejeweled belt! She’s joined this season by the dynamic duo, quick-change artistry of David and Dania, who are new to Yuletide! And, as always, the outstanding musicianship is on display with our Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. On a personal note, I want to thank all of my Yuletide family members, many of whom you don’t see on stage but are paramount in making Yuletide a success: our pops team, cast, stage crew, costume designers, choreographers and our creative and production teams. I would also like to thank our title sponsor, Indianapolis Power & Light, ISO board members, staff, volunteers, patrons and our generous donors for continuing to sustain our effort and creativity. Yuletide can celebrate 30 years and many more because of your support! Warmest wishes for a memorable season, and thank you for making the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra a part of your holidays. 5 Experience classical music in HD FM HD1 wicronline.org INDIANAPOLIS SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA ACCESS To ISO Patrons Complimentary use of the Wood Room CORPORATE Complimentary tickets and VIP Parking passes SPONSORSHIPS PROMOTION Logo on lobby signage Company name and logo in Program Book Name recognition from the stage On-site Sampling and Display tables COMMUNITY Provide employees with volunteer opportunities Associate your brand with an Indianapolis cultural gem FOR MORE INFORMATION, CONTACT: Tanya Sovinski, Director of Development 317.262.1880 | [email protected] 6 MUSICIANS OF THE INDIANAPOLIS SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA Krzysztof Urbański, Music Director Jack Everly, Principal Pops Conductor Raymond Leppard, Conductor Laureate Vince Lee, Associate Conductor First Violin Sé-Doo Park Jerry Montgomery Zachary De Pue, Concertmaster Jian-Wen Tong The Bakken Family Chair The Ford-West Chair Jill Boaz Alexander Kerr, Principal Guest Contrabass Concertmaster Ju-Fang Liu, Principal Trumpet Philip Palermo, Associate Robert Goodlett II, Assistant The W.
