4 // SEATTLE CHAMBER MUSIC SOCIETY 2013: SEASON IN REVIEW //

Our second year under the leadership of Artistic Director James Ehnes continued the celebrated level of excellence that audiences have come to expect of performances by the Seattle Chamber Music Society (SCMS).

This excellence is represented in everything SCMS has done over the past year at Benaroya Hall and throughout the community to deepen relationships with attendees of our concerts since Toby Saks founded SCMS in 1982. James Ehnes has carried on the legacy of the late Toby Saks by continuing to program the finest pieces of chamber music. During both Winter and Summer Festivals there was unique programming like the complete Brandenburg Concerti by J.S. Bach this past winter. Several other programs featured the rarely heard harpsichord at SCMS concerts; during the summer concert programs included works by American composers that will lead to the latest SCMS recording for the Onyx Classics label.

Along with a number of returning Festival favorites, this season saw sixteen musicians make their SCMS debuts. A few highlights included Luc Beauséjour, a renowned harpsichordist, joining us for three concerts this winter and Jens Lindemann, former lead trumpet of the Canadian Brass, and Alexander Velinzon, the concertmaster for the Seattle Symphony, making their SCMS debuts this past summer.

Beyond the glorious concerts, SCMS continued to participate in the community by hosting a number of free events. These gave audiences the opportunity to watch how a performance comes together with Open Rehearsals, learn more about individual musicians with the Classical Conversation series and Meet the Artists, and enjoy performances by world-class musicians with Pre-Concert Recitals, Music Under the Stars, and Chamber Music in the Park, our 2nd annual live concert at Volunteer Park. Our emphasis on education took a central role with a Family Concert during each Festival, and Chamber Music in the Classroom, introducing student musicians to chamber music. We also had education programs for adults with our Festival Previews at local libraries and clubs, and special events for the Commissioning Club.

In every regard, SCMS has met our mission statement, all while balancing the budget in challenging economic times. It wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible support from our loyal patrons, the overwhelming generosity of our donors, and the dedication of our hard-working Board and staff. Thank you to everyone who helped make the 2013 Festival Season such a stunning success!

THE SUNBREAK

WINTER FESTIVAL: JANUARY 18-26

We expanded the Winter Festival this year from four concerts over a long weekend to six concerts over two weekends and it was a huge success! Nearly 2,900 people attended the main concerts – an increase of more than 800 ticket buyers from the previous year – with an average capacity of 89%. The Festival featured 26 artists, a new record for the Winter Festival, including eight making their debuts, performing works that spanned over 250 years of musical history. Highlights included several works by Benjamin Britten to mark his upcoming centennial; Steve Reich’s musical memoir Different Trains for string quartet and tape; a unique arrangement of Claude Debussy’s Sonata No. 4 by Kenneth Cooper for oboe, French horn, and harpsichord; and a sold-out concert featuring all six of Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos.

SUMMER FESTIVAL: JUNE 29-JULY 26

The 32nd season of the Summer Festival attracted 5,389 people to its 12 main concerts. Audiences filled Illsley Ball Nordstrom Recital Hall, at times to maximum capacity, to experience the talents and incredible music making of 39 of the world’s finest musicians, eight of whom made their SCMS debut. Festival highlights included a world premiere by Lawrence Dillon; works by American composers Barber, Bernstein, Carter, Copland, and Ives , which were recorded for a compact disc project with Onyx Classics; a second recording for the Onyx label featuring the Ehnes Quartet performing two Shostakovich quartets; and a celebration of the 100th anniversary of Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring for Piano, Four Hands.

12 // SEATTLE CHAMBER MUSIC SOCIETY REMEMBERING TOBY SAKS //

As our Founder, and the Artistic Director for 30 years, Toby had a profound impact on many musicians, audience members, friends and people in our community.

Toby was born in City on January 8, 1942 and died at her home in Seattle on August 1, 2013. Her family, many friends and colleagues, and the musicians of the Seattle Chamber Music Society were with her during her last weeks. The cause of her death was pancreatic cancer.

Growing up in the Bronx, Toby switched from piano to cello at age 9 and continued her education at the High School of Performing Arts and The under teacher . She won prizes in New York as a teenager, was first prizewinner at the International Pablo Casals Competition in Israel in 1962, and was a top prizewinner at the Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow. Toby was the 3rd woman to join the New York Philharmonic, where she played in the cello section from 1971 to 1976.

Toby moved to Seattle in 1976 and joined the music faculty of the University of Washington. As Professor of Music, she loved not only teaching her cello students, but taught music theory and music appreciation courses to thousands of students during her 37 years at the University.

In 1982 Toby and classical music supporters in Seattle founded the Seattle Chamber Music Society. She served as SCMS Artistic Director for 30 years and as Associate Artistic Director for the last two years, bringing more than 450 concerts with more than 300 musicians to audiences at The Lakeside School, The Overlake School, and Benaroya Hall. “Mama Tobs” home was the “clubhouse” for musicians to rehearse, eat and talk during their visits to Seattle, creating a unique and very successful Festival atmosphere.

ENDOWMENT FUND CAMPAIGN SCMS has raised over $1.3 million in gifts and pledges toward a $5 million Endowment Campaign to ensure our organization’s long- term financial health and stability. A separate SCMS Foundation was established to properly manage and dispense Endowment funds.

ARTISTIC DIRECTOR FUND Separate from the Endowment Campaign, the Artistic Director Fund supports our organization while we transition to a new Artistic Director and continue to build the Endowment Fund to its full potential. The Artistic Director Fund allows us to provide adequate resources and support for James Ehnes’ artistic vision and initiatives, while minimizing use of our cash reserves.
