ROCHESTER PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA

2012–2013 ANNUAL REPORT

beyond measure. From the Board Chair and President & CEO

The 90th Anniversary Season of the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra in 2012–13 was a year of stark contrasts. Noteworthy advancements in our programming and community engagement were often shrouded by the public controversy surrounding the early termination of our music director’s contract. Financially, the picture was also mixed, with record results for the Annual Campaign offset by under-performance in underwriting support and at the box office.

Looking back on the year, it is important to remind ourselves—and those in the Rochester community who care deeply about symphonic music and the RPO—that there was much to be proud of in the organization’s artistic output. Week after week, the extraordinary musicians of the RPO performed exhilarating concerts that brought audiences to their feet.

Among the most notable achievements last season were three world premieres: ’s Images: Musical Impressions of an Art Museum, commissioned by the to celebrate its 100th anniversary in 2013; The Freedom Zephyr by the late Dean Douglas Lowry, a work commissioned by the RPO and inspired by Rochester’s role in the Underground Railroad; and Water of Life, an RPO commission from the California-based composer Karen Tanaka.

Beyond the many free public concerts, concerts for school-age children, and other educational activities that are typical of every RPO season, the Orchestra’s anniversary year also saw us reaching out in exciting new ways to deepen our partnerships with numerous artists and institutions in our region, including:

• The City of Rochester, which sponsored an RPO Community Chorus Concert in May featuring 200 community vocalists; • Eastman School of Music’s Young Artists International Piano Competition, whose 2012 Gold Medal winner, Leonardo Colafelice, gave sensational performances of the legendary “Rach 3” piano concerto in the season-ending Philharmonic Series concerts; • Ithaca College, where the RPO launched a new concert series last season; • Rochester City Ballet, which joined the RPO for the world premiere of Jamey Leverett’s choreography to Jeff Tyzik’s Cityscape; and • Rochester Contemporary Art Center, whose burgeoning annual “6x6” art show inspired visual artists David Chamberlain and Melissa Matson to create collaborative artworks to encourage increased giving at the Orchestra’s major gift levels.

The performance season wrapped up in July with an intensive three-week summer season, highlighted by one of the most successful one-night fundraising events in RPO history: a festive, 1920s-themed 90th Anniversary Gala at 2 the Rochester Riverside Convention Center, featuring a Jazz Age performance by Jeff Tyzik and the RPO. The Year in Numbers After sustaining a sizeable operating loss in 2011–12, the RPO took an important step toward strengthening its bottom line by negotiating and ratifying a new, four-year agreement with the Rochester Musicians’ Association last year. A reduction in the number of contracted weeks, from 39 to 36, helped the organization reduce its operating expenses by about 5.4%, from $9.9 million in 2011–12 to $9.4 million in 2012–13. Unfortunately, revenues also declined last season by 3.7%, from $9.2 million to $8.9 million, with box office and concert fee revenues off 4% and contributed income dropping by 13%. Accelerating the year-over-year declines was a drop of $244,000 or 36% in concert and special project underwriting from corporations, foundations, and individuals. This trend masked one important bright spot in financial performance: the 5,296 donors to the Annual Campaign collectively pushed that vital source of unrestricted operating revenues to an all-time high of $2.329 million, finally surpassing the pre-Recession record level of $2.321 million. Government and net revenues from special events were also up slightly for the year.

Taken together, these trends resulted in an operating loss of $544,000 for the year, an improvement over the $746,000 loss the prior year, but nevertheless an unacceptable result that added urgency to the organization’s need to adopt a more sustainable business model. Total unrestricted net assets for the year actually grew by a modest $18,500 as the result of unrestricted investment dollars accessed by the RPO to improve cash flow over the course of the year. Total net assets grew by $417,000, driven by market gains in the RPO’s endowment portfolios.

Looking Ahead By the end of the fiscal year on August 31, 2013, the organization’s collective focus was very much on the future. The Music Director Search Committee, led by former Board Chair Ingrid Stanlis, had a well-organized music director search process well under way, and an Operational Sustainability Task Force, chaired by Patrick Fulford, was wrestling with the RPO’s underlying fiscal challenges and exploring every possible strategy for achieving financial stability. Both of these teams were composed of musicians, staff, Board and Honorary Board members, and an Eastman School of Music representative, reflecting the remarkable spirit of cooperation that has long been a hallmark of the RPO’s culture and that will help ensure the success of our path to sustainability in the months and years ahead. Another important sign of our focus on the future was the Board’s authorization last spring of an expansion of the Development Department, a recapitalization that is positioning the organization for vital growth in contributed revenue.

Whether you’re a frequent attendee or an occasional concertgoer, a generous donor or a loyal volunteer, we thank YOU for the role you have played in supporting the RPO as it transitioned through a difficult year into a bright, new era of collaboration, community engagement, creative thinking, and forward momentum. For the past 90 years, the RPO has been Rochester’s orchestra, and we remain more committed than ever to the ideals of our founder, . Together, we will perpetuate the Rochester Philharmonic’s extraordinary legacy of great performances and service to the community for another 90 years.

9 Programs for Children

Education and community engagement have been at the core of the RPO’s mission since its founding in 1922. George Eastman, founder of Eastman Kodak Company and the world-renowned Eastman School of Music, believed that all Rochester residents could enrich their lives through musical learning, from pre- school through college and beyond.

This dedication to life-long learning continues today. In 2000, the orchestra named Michael Butterman as Principal Conductor for Education and Outreach— the first endowed position of its kind in the country. In the 2012–13 season, RPO musicians performed five orKIDStra family concerts as well as educational concerts for more than 13,000 Rochester-area schoolchildren.
