As an added surprise, we commissioned a second Hunt work for the park— Beyond the Frame is Hunt’s first wall-hung sculpture—and dedicated it to Mr. Freehling himself.

SIGNS: SEALED AND DELIVERED FOR WOMEN’S BOARD 50TH This year in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Women’s Board of Ravinia Festival, the park not only honored the group’s anniversary, but spotlighted it with in-park signage. The park held over 150 banners, posters and other signage that could be found throughout the festival. The Martin Theatre, one of our most prominent spots, is seen by thousands of patrons daily during the season and received much of the celebration’s focus. Upon entry through the main gate, patrons were greeted with two towering banners on either side of the theatre acknowledging the Women’s Board’s 50 years and the 50 artist debuts made in tribute to the milestone. Also placed on the entry walkway was a decal depicting a timeline of events of the last 50 years of the Women’s Board, from the first Gala to the new Ravinia Chair Rental in 2012, managed by the Women’s Board. Finally, as patrons walked the stairs to the Martin Theatre, they were welcomed with a variety of posters coating the staircase. Each poster was a past winner of the annual Women’s Board poster contest. Several years of posters could also be found hanging in both the West and North Priority parking lots, allowing patrons to identify parking areas with different posters.

Freehling decorated pavilion stage—that included a performance by Highland Park’s Music Theater Company and Welz Kauffman at the piano. Ravinia celebrated the Women’s Board in the media throughout the year, beginning with surprise full-page ads announcing the 50th anniversary in Michigan Avenue magazine. Elsewhere, Women’s Board members made up the audience of the live broadcast of ABC’s Windy City Live , where Ramsey Lewis was the surprise guest. Three generations of Women’s Board members—Jeanne Denison, Susan Spears and Elizabeth Bergman—co-hosted a WFMT Mother’s Day special, choosing classical programming inspired by their Ravinia memories over the years. The group was also featured in several published articles celebrating the anniversary, in addition to monthly features in our own Ravinia magazine. The Women’s Board sponsored the August 5 Chicago Symphony Orchestra concert with Ann Hampton Callaway and the John Pizzarelli Quartet saluting Harold Arlen. The women hosted the headliners and members of the orchestra in a post-concert dinner. Finally, the women were surprised at their annual meeting in October with a video tribute that featured interviews with people instrumental to the group—including founding members—along with shout-outs from some of the great artists who performed at Ravinia in this milestone year, among them Ann Hampton Callaway, Jim Belushi, Kiri Te Kanawa, Leon Fleisher, Barbara Cook, Patricia Racette and Patti LuPone. FISCAL 2012 • FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Ravinia Festival revenues for fiscal 2012 totaled a record $29.5 million, versus $28.3 million the previous year. Ticket sales reached $16.1 million, versus $15.7 million in 2011, while contributions totaled a record $11.3 million, up from $10.8 million in 2011.

REACH* TEACH* PLAY LAUNCHES CIRCLE ROCKETS ORCHESTRA

On October 25 Ravinia launched a new after-school orchestra under the banner of Sistema Ravinia at Catalyst Circle Rock Charter School in the Austin neighborhood of Chicago. Over 50 “Circle Rockets” students received their new musical instruments in a ceremony that included their teachers, parents and families. The 8- to 12-year-old kids broke off into sectionals, were taught basic playing techniques and some musical notes, and came back together as one orchestra to perform their first official concert for the Excitement resounds as the “Circle Rockets” strike a audience. Based on the successful El chord with the newest members of the Ravinia family. Sistema See the students’ smiles glitter as brightly as their new orchestral instruments at http://youtu.be/re5ZyyjQpDk education model devised in Venezuela, which is a system of total immersion in music study, Sistema Ravinia focuses on providing exceptional music training, creating a family of musicians and fostering social development. Students in the program will receive daily after-school ensemble and orchestral instruction in their chosen instrument, for at least 10 hours a week, including singing. The festival already supports two student orchestras that were created at William G. Hibbard Elementary School in the Albany Park neighborhood in 2010 in conjunction with the Women’s Board of Ravinia Festival and People’s Music School of Chicago. REACH* TEACH* PLAY : KAUFFMAN’S CASE FOR INGENUITY

'Thinking is an art': A case for arts education

By Welz Ka uffm an November 02, 2012

It's been said that creativity is the currency of the 21st century. Once viewed merely as enrichment, the

arts, we now know, are a core component of a quality education. We have an ideal opportunity to

ensure that every Chicago Public School student receives a quality arts education from preschool

through high school graduation. Through the leadership of Mayor Rahm Emanuel and CPS, with the

support and commitment of our city's cultural community, the first-ever CPS Arts Education Plan was

created to improve, expand and strategically coordinate arts education across the district.

Research consistently shows that the arts leverage student achievement and development far beyond

raising test scores in reading and math; and they instill the critical thinking, creativity and

communication skills that our children need to succeed in today's workplace.

Now leading the charge to put the arts back into classrooms, Ingenuity Incorporated, a Chicago-based

arts learning initiative, created the first detailed map of arts resources in Chicago and was instrumental

in helping CPS develop the new arts education plan. CPS hosted dozens of public meetings to take input

from parents and students, teachers, principals and arts partners. An Advisory Committee of civic and

education leadership analyzed the data, identified national best practices and strategies and drafted the

plan's goals and recommendations. As one of many cultural institutions providing education programs

to CPS, Ravinia Festival looks forward to working with Ingenuity to ensure that such opportunities are

equitably distributed.

Ravinia's Reach/Teach/Play programs span from elementary school orchestras to a jazz band made up of REACH*TEAC H*PLAY the best high-school players in the city. Our goal is not to create career musicians, but to foster an

appreciation for the culture that defines us. We've seen firsthand how bringing music into the lives of

students inspires confidence and creativity and even deepens connections to school, family and

community.

Through the new plan, the arts are elevated to a core subject. Students in every grade and at every

school will experience visual art, music, dance and drama—with new high school graduation

requirements to include all four forms. Every school will have at least one certified, dedicated art

teacher. The plan increases professional development to support teachers and principals, and builds on

the partnerships that already exist between our schools and cultural organizations such as Ravinia.

This is a defining moment for arts education in Chicago, our opportunity to transform the kind of

education our public school students receive, and to give them the foundation for success in school and

throughout their lives. Through a comprehensive study of the arts, CPS students will get the opportunity to develop into innovative thinkers capable of expressing themselves and contributing to the city's culture and economy. Thinking is an art.

Welz Kauffman is president and CEO of Ravinia Festival and a board member of Ingenuity Incorporated.

RAVINIA MAKES BEAUTIFUL MUSIC WITH KOHL CHILDREN’S MUSEUM

Expanding its commitment to music education, Ravinia announced its sponsorship of an interactive music-making exhibit at the Kohl Children’s Museum of Greater Chicago, furthering Ravinia’s mission of exposing young people to music. On October 9 Chicago jazz legend Ramsey Lewis was on hand to assist in promoting the launch by sharing his knowledge of the importance of music education as well as interacting with young exhibit-goers by performing musical selections and showing them how to play the piano. The hands-on “Music Makers” exhibit is one of 17 permanent vignettes for children ages birth to 8 and is designed to help children discover how sound is created in a variety of ways; how to recognize different types of sounds and the physical forces behind them; and how to manipulate melody, tempo and rhythm. The exhibit features such interactive activities as making melodies using bolts and wrenches; using soft- sculpture pegs to make a music box; moving musical notes on a staff to create a melody; feeling and seeing vibrations on string and percussion instruments; layering melody, harmony and rhythm to create a symphony; beating drums and other percussion instruments in the Jam Room; and dancing and moving to music while watching your movements make patterns on a colorful video screen. Ravinia and Kohl Children’s Museum also partner in the umbrella organization Do North, along with Writers’ Theatre and Chicago Botanic Garden, helping to transform the northern suburbs into a cultural destination. Ravinia and Kohl presidents Welz Kauffman and Sheridan Turner spoke about the joint venture during the unveiling, and were captured enjoying the exhibit with the young “music makers” at http://youtu.be/3M1O2japygY. FOUR GENERATIONS OF BROADWAY STARS LIGHT THE CSO STAGE

Throughout its history, and particularly since the arrival of President and CEO Welz Kauffman, Ravinia Festival has proudly showcased the wealth Idina Menzel invites audience members to of musical treasures created for that most American of genres, the sing with the CSO Broadway musical. CSO audiences ask for music theater concerts at Ravinia more than any other genre. This summer Ravinia hit the jackpot, shining the spotlight on four of Broadway’s brightest stars, each of whom was featured as soloist with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra on four memorable evenings. For a special Fourth of July musical bash, Ashley Brown, the star of the stage production of Mary Poppins , appropriately sang an inspiring all-American program of songs by Richard Rodgers, Jerome Kern, John Kander, Harold Arlen, Irving Berlin and others composed for the Broadway stage and Hollywood films—as the song goes, “from sea to shining sea”! Idina Menzel teamed up with composer/conductor Marvin Hamlisch for a wide-ranging repertoire ranging from songs from roles she created in the landmark musicals Rent and Wicked to standards from the Great American Songbook to an inspired rendition of Hamlisch’s own “The Way We Were” on July 8. Ravinia favorite Patti LuPone, who has scored an impressive series of triumphs in musicals both on Broadway ( Anything Goes , Evita ) and here at Ravinia ( Gypsy , Annie Get Your Gun and a string of Stephen Sondheim-composed musicals), joined opera star Patricia Racette for a Gala program on July 21 celebrating “Leading Ladies” in honor of the 50th anniversary of the Women’s Board of Ravinia Festival. And 85-year-old Broadway legend Barbara Cook, who created such iconic leading roles as Cunegonde in Candide , Marian the Librarian in The Music Man and Amalia in She Loves Me , made her CSO debut with a July 15 program including favorites as well as less-familiar tunes by powerhouse composers Bernstein, Rodgers, Berlin, Gershwin, Kern, Romberg, Sondheim and Weill. The stars of Broadway never shone more brightly on the Great White Way than they did this summer at Ravinia.

In an effort to bring awareness of access to classical music performances to young people, Ravinia partnered with teens at Highland Park High School in the fall of 2010 to create the Ravinia Student Advisory Board, which collaborated on three main ideas to promote classical music to young listeners in a program titled Classical Youth Initiative. Nearly 600 students participated this year. In their first year they spearheaded the free lawn- attendance program for all high school students with a valid school I.D. at all classical concerts, a The Ravinia photo backdrop at the annual Cannon Ball summer-long attendance event attracts teen party-goers and Highland Park contest in which students Mayor Nancy Rodkin Rotering, whose son is on the CYI committee. gained points toward a grant for their school’s music department, and area professionals who volunteer to support created a special night the festival by raising funds, increasing titled “Cannon Ball,” awareness of the festival’s programs and developing a which included a pre- younger audience for classical music through the concert tent event with free food, refreshments, games, festival’s REACH*TEACH*PLAY education programs. prizes and an opportunity to gain double points for the The first runner-up was Evanston Township, followed by attendance contest.

Outside laughter and chasing could be heard cutting through the light breeze as children all across the adjacent park played beneath great shadows. As I approached the address, a scruffy giant building, faint saw sounds and grinding became clearer. After a door buzz and a short pause, the welcoming face of Richard Hunt peered ’round the solid, weathered door to exuberantly greet me. Entering his behemoth studio, I could barely hold conversation. My senses were ambushed from every angle as every direction offered an interesting find. Sorted magazines, supplies and metal were piled and re-piled atop each other. Cataloged nuts, screws and washers were placed next to band saws, grinders and hundreds of hammers, oxygen tanks with myriad blow torches just lying about as we walked through the rusty, dusty, jagged pathways. It was clear this man, this great artist, had unfolded his life and passion between these walls. With introductions well behind us, he gravitated back to work. And for the next several hours, I discovered his craft. The overall environment was drastically different from what I am used to as a 2-D artist. I surround myself with more delicate tools such as fine-tipped pens and soft brushes, where his instruments are typically rigid, bulky and heavy. And in contrast, a good pen with a clean pad and a sturdy desk is all I need to create, whereas Richard needs that echoingly large studio for his tanks, torches and even a crane to drag around half-inch thick sheets of metal. This rough, corroded space is far from clean and inspires thoughts of tetanus booster shots. Needless to say, neither artist could manage in the other’s environment, and it wouldn’t take a fortune-teller to see that; one would only have to compare the palms of our hands. Richard is not a speedy artist, but he has a calculation about him. More times than not, I find he can’t fully explain in words how and why the art comes together for him. He gestures and waves while moving about the art. Perhaps it is even still a mystery to him, an enigmatic dance he does with each piece. Regardless, I find it incredibly poetic. Upon leaving this inspiring man and his unique studio, I received the same warm smile as when I arrived as a stranger—though this time I understood it. It is the smile of a child—a child grinning back at life for allowing him to create and play these many long years in his own perfect park. And in the neighboring park, as the children play, they need only look up from the great shadows to see Richard’s life work smiling back at them.

See Richard Hunt’s works at Ravinia Festival, which presents sculpture throughout the park. His work Beyond the Frame hangs in the Park View restaurant.

NORTH LOT BEAUTIFICATION JOINS LIST OF INFRASTRUCTURE SUCCESSES

On the heels of 2011’s renovations, including the new grand entrance underpass, Ravinia completed for the 2012 season another series of improvements to beautify and simplify the experience of everyone who comes to the summer festival. While this summer’s weather may have at times been torturous, the gates that annually welcome hundreds of thousands of musicgoers were immunized against the elements with repairs, a new green finish, and the addition of new sliding gates to the North and South Priority parking lots. Significantly, the highly trafficked north lot was paved during the off-season following the similar successful renovation of the south lot. The north lot not only provides parking for Ravinia staff and donors, but also is the parking space for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra—when they are in residency during the height of the summer season—as well as the location where traveling artists load their equipment into the pavilion and park their busses. The paving of this lot provides for the safer and more expedient movement of these performers in and out of the festival every day and also provides a more predictable (and weather-resistant!) parking experience for our treasured patrons. We know from hard-earned experience that Chicagoland weather can turn at the drop of a hat, but Ravinia has once again striven to ensure that, no matter the conditions, there are no barriers to enjoying music under the summer stars. 45 Mr. and Mrs. Jeffrey B.

In Memoriam: Barbara Favill Marshall

Life Trustee and Women’s Board founding member Barbara Favill Marshall passed away on July 13, 2012, at the age of 83. Barbara inherited a love for Ravinia from her parents, who were longtime patrons and supporters, as was her husband Irl. Before becoming a founding member of the Women’s Board, she participated in a 1957 “Gallerie Vivante” at Ravinia and sold Ravinia coupon books in Northbrook. She was active in the founding of Ravinia’s Steans Music Institute, chairing the committee for many years, joining with her mother to endow a fellowship that bears her mother’s name and naming a rehearsal studio in memory of her daughter Susan. Barbara served on the Board of Trustees from 1977 to 1992, serving as vice chairman and chairing the Sustaining Fund (now Annual Fund) Committee from 1986 to 1989. Barbara became a Life Trustee in 1994. During the summer of 2012 she was awarded the Marion M. Lloyd Life Trustee Award presented by the Ravinia Associates, requesting that the award dinner be held the night of Idina Menzel’s CSO debut, as Barbara wanted to see the tens of thousands of first-time attendees for the great Chicago Symphony. Though she was not able to attend, Barbara’s three children represented her and read the acceptance speech she had prepared, which discussed her love of Ravinia and its impact on her life.

In Memoriam: Thomas Doran Heath

On May 9, 2012, at the age of 81, Ravinia Life Trustee Thomas Doran Heath passed away peacefully at home. Thomas was convinced to join Ravinia’s Board of Trustees by Stanley Freehling in a shared cab ride across the Loop in 1969 and was highly involved in the dining and long-range planning committees. He became a Life Trustee in 2002. Thomas was a retired vice-chairman of Leo Burnett Co., working in many different capacities over 35 years including producing live television commercials in the mid-1950s on shows such as Name That Tune , The Arthur Godfrey Show and Captain Kangaroo in New York City. Later he worked in the agency’s marketing, media and client services departments in Chicago and in 1978 was elected to the board of directors with both domestic and international responsibilities. Some of Thomas’s clients were Kellogg Company, Unocal, Keebler, Oldsmobile, Commonwealth Edison and Harris Bank. He attended Cornell University in 1951 and was a member of the Sigma Chi Fraternity. Following his graduation from Principia College in 1952, he served for four years in the U.S. Navy as a LTJG aboard the USS Gunston Hall in the South Pacific at the end of the Korean War. In addition to Ravinia Festival, Thomas supported the Lyric Opera’s Ryan Opera Center, served on the boards of the International Theater Festival, Chicago and the Hubbard Street Dance Company and was a trustee emeritus of the Merit School of Music. He is survived by his wife, Women’s Board member Marilyn and three daughters: Barbara Hummel-Kellerman, Tamie Bellavia and Elizabeth Fauntleroy-Rahn.

YOU SAY GOODBYE, I SAY HELLO

Ravinia audiences enjoyed a bittersweet musical event on June 28 when legendary country star Glen Campbell made his belated Ravinia debut on a concert that also featured Ronnie Milsap. The appearance was part of a Goodbye Tour for the Grammy Award-winning artist and Country Music Hall of Fame inductee, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s last year. Despite an outpouring of interest from the press and demands upon his time, Campbell graciously consented to a feature interview for Ravinia magazine. He did not disappoint his legion of local fans, reprising his numerous greatest hits while including more recent additions to his repertoire, and the Chicago Tribune cited the “tenderness, virtuosity, fortitude and, ultimately, heart-wrenching poignancy [displayed] during the 76-year-old country pop star’s hour-long performance.” Ultimately it was a fine tribute to both Campbell and the festival that the legendary superstar was able to add Ravinia to the impressive list of credits that characterizes his remarkable career.

Ravinia’s Steans Music Institute (RSMI) brought 61 fellows to the festival in 2012—16 cut their chops in the Program for Jazz, 30 sets of hands flew in the Program for Piano and Strings, and 15 voices rang out in the Program for Singers in Bennett Gordon Hall (BGH). The summer conservatory continued to be an international salon of talent with 16 countries represented, including China, Honduras, Uzbekistan, Spain and Tunisia. The equally diverse and start-studded faculty gave seven master classes throughout the season, and the institute presented 17 concerts between the three programs on the festival grounds with several additional performances traveling beyond the institute’s home in the John D. Harza building. These concerts have become an integral part of the Ravinia’s newly inaugurated BGH $10 Classics series, with five concerts in 2012 being a part of this prime-time concert series that began developing in 2011. The RSMI-owned house adjacent to the park at 351 Iris Lane, acquired in 2009, was once again used by the directors of the Program for Piano and Strings and the Program for Singers during their tenures at the conservatory. This property not only allows the faculty to stay in close contact and proximity to the festival, but also gives their families the opportunity to visit during what is traditionally a professional musician’s off-season. Ravinia Festival has long created a family-friendly atmosphere, and this extension by RSMI provides a level of care to its esteemed faculty to rival that which is afforded its fellows. To ensure the continued success of RSMI, the festival has undertaken a five-year, $5 million “Everything for the Artist” fundraising campaign to grow the institute’s endowment to $25 million by the 25th anniversary in 2013. Through the incredible support of many leaders in the Ravinia family, the 2012 fiscal year ended with pledges on the books totaling just under $4 million, almost 80 percent of the goal. Once again, violinist Miriam Fried led a small group of recent alumni on a spring concert tour, with stops at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston; Treetops Chamber Music Society in Stamford, CT; Merkin Concert Hall in New York City; Northern Illinois University in DeKalb; and a triumphant final performance back home at Ravinia’s own Bennett Gordon Hall. The tour also included a two-day workshop with Community MusicWorks in Providence, RI, a nonprofit that strives to integrate chamber music into the lives of underserved youth. Several alumni triumphed in major competitions around the world in 2012, led by soprano Janai Brugger (’11), who won both Placido Domingo’s Operalia competition and the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions in 2012, and was seen at Ravinia in several performances with the CSO. Violinist Dami Kim (’12) won first prize at the Joseph Joachim International Violin Competition Hannover. Violinist Tessa Lark (’07, ’08) won the Naumburg Violin Competition.

RAVINIA SUPPORTS HOMETOWN WITH NEARLY $800K CONTRIBUTION

The not-for-profit Ravinia Festival has contributed $798,818 to its hometown of Highland Park in 2012. This is the fourth year of a 10-year agreement through which the festival donates 5 percent of its annual gross ticket revenue to the city for its use as needed. The amount of the contribution to the city has increased each of the first four years of the program’s life, with $780,655 given in 2011, $758,000 in 2010 and $710,000 in 2009, for a total of more than $3 million to date. “Ravinia Festival is key to the lives of so many Highland Park residents. It’s a place of first jobs and first dates and more than a few favorite memories. It brings a variety of great music—classical, jazz, dance, children’s concerts—to our own backyards, including the great Chicago Symphony Orchestra, giving families easy access to one of the world’s finest ensembles. But it is also an important economic engine for our city,” said Highland Park Mayor Nancy Rotering. “Many may not realize that though it is a not-for-profit, Ravinia pays for its city services, such as hiring our police officers to patrol and protect not only the grounds but to manage traffic in the community on concert nights, thus supplementing salaries in a way that helps us attract the best law enforcement personnel. Ravinia’s guests patronize our local businesses, and they pay sales tax on food and souvenirs they purchase at the festival itself. This annual contribution is one more way Ravinia enhances not just the cultural but also the fiscal health of our community, and we are very appreciative.” RAVINIA THANKS THE FOLLOWING ADVERTISERS
