This year, the Hilbert Circle Theatre celebrates its 100th Anniversary. The Theatre opened its doors on August 30, 1916 and became home to the ISO in 1984. Our Opening Night Gala with Principal Pops Conductor Jack Everly, along with Megan Hilty, George Takei, Angela Brown, Thomas Lauderdale and our very own Zach De Pue, will include musical tributes to Indiana’s bicentennial and the theater’s 100 years. Celebrating the theater’s rich film history, we will be presenting a number of films in the 2016–17 season. In November, audiences will be thrilled by the performance of Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark as the ISO performs John Williams’ iconic score below the big screen. In March, the ISO debuts the world premiere of An American in Paris Live with Orchestra. And In September, October, May and June, the magic and music of the first three Harry Potter films will come to life on the Hilbert Circle Theatre screen and stage. If you have never seen a film presented with live orchestral accompaniment, I highly recommend this unique experience. And what a thrill to remember that Indianapolis residents were enjoying films right where you are sitting one hundred years ago! This season, our audiences will welcome back many familiar faces to the stage. Krzysztof Urbański returns with guests artists like Hilary Hahn and Dejan Lazić. He’ll also follow the intriguing 2016 Cosmos Music Festival with the 2017 Music of the Earth Festival. We’re excited for the return of former ISO music directors Raymond Leppard and John Nelson to the Hilbert Circle Theatre. And you’ll of course recognize the many faces of our incredible musicians stepping forward for solo opportunities. Look for special performances by principal oboe Jennifer Christen performing Bach’s Concerto for Violin and Oboe with violinist Gil Shaham in November, and concertmaster Zach De Pue performing Shostakovich’s First Violin Concerto in January. As we start our season reflecting on the history of the theater yet looking to the future, I can’t help but express my gratitude for our subscribers, donors, patrons and volunteers. More than 270,000 of you attended our concerts last season, and we look forward to seeing you again as we celebrate another year of music with our Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. Thank you for your support, Gary Ginstling Chief Executive Officer 5 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 Contrabass Trumpet Zachary De Pue, Concertmaster Ju-Fang Liu, Principal Conrad Jones, Principal The Ford-West Chair Robert Goodlett II, Assistant The W.
