  • The Music of John Williams
    Dear Friends of Our New Philharmonic, On behalf of my colleagues in the orchestra, we are hoping that you are all safe, healthy, and we certainly miss seeing you! Recent months have set out challenges that I had never before seen in my lifetime. This period, however, reminds me greatly not only of what I learned from my parents’ lives, but also of my grandparents/great grandparents’ lives and the obstacles that they overcame in their overwhelmingly hard times. These people somehow though came through it all - with courage, grit, kindness, good spirits, good hearts. I have a sign on my fridge that says: “Wallace Hartley.” It is to remind me that this violinist on the Titanic was sharing music with his fellow passengers even in The most extraordinary moment for any musician in history. The calling that each of our musicians has felt in their lives is just that - music. We may not be good at flying airplanes, fixing teeth, or playing for the Hawks, but what we look to give the world is music. This coming year we have monster-great season, opening with the astonishing music of John Williams - a concert that celebrates Mr. Williams’ 66th year of composing music for film. And, for the first time we can offer you a Holiday Pops concert that is full of praise, fun and joy. New Year’s Eve and the opera/ Broadway concerts are both BLASTS with some of your favorite singers! In April, I have programmed something that I believe has never been done anywhere in the world before.

Last year, she sang Carmen with the Golden Gate Opera in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park. Barbara specializes in music and drama with a Spanish flair.

  • ORGANIZATIONS EVOLUTIONARY JOURNEYS ONGOING DIALOGUE EXPLORATION TESTING IDEAS ENDURING COLLABORATIONS SHARING KNOWLEDGE EDUCATION PROSPERITY and HOPE Annual Report
    LLOYD A. FRY FOUNDATION 35YEARS HUNDREDS OF ORGANIZATIONS EVOLUTIONARY JOURNEYS ONGOING DIALOGUE EXPLORATION TESTING IDEAS ENDURING COLLABORATIONS SHARING KNOWLEDGE EDUCATION PROSPERITY AND HOPE Annual Report FOR 2018 ALL CHICAGO For the past 35 years, the Fry Foundation has supported hundreds of organizations that improve the lives of low-income, underserved Chicagoans. This year’s Annual Report highlights 15 of the Foundation’s longest-term grantees across our four funding areas: Arts Learning, Education, Employment and Health. The organizations within these pages share more than longevity. They share an ability to evolve. While they all have served more and more individuals over time, they not only have gotten bigger, they also have gotten better. They thoughtfully adjust their strategies to respond to new information and new challenges, whether that’s an increase in demand or a decrease in public funding. They strengthen the services they provide, continually addressing the complex, changing needs of Chicago students, workers and patients. As a result, these 15 grantees have become exemplars within their fields. Others now look to them and learn. The Fry Foundation has long supported these grantees on their evolutionary journeys. The Foundation has been in ongoing dialogue with them, helping them to expand, to partner with other organizations, to explore cutting-edge methods and technologies, and to identify new opportunities and take advantage of them. “We have had many conversations with the program officers at the Fry Foundation not just about the grants but about the work in our field. We value the Fry Foundation as a partner,” says Christina Warden of Women Employed—echoing the ways that the Fry Foundation’s grantees often speak of its enduring collaborations with them.
