International sculptor Jaume Plensa, best known to Chicagoans for the spitting fountains in Millennium Park, visited Ravinia for the unveiling of his giant walk-in sculpture Silent Music. Plensa’s intent was to create a piece that evoked the feeling of being enveloped in music that he felt as a child hiding in his father’s piano. This addition to Ravinia’s sculpture collection is the focal point of KidsLawn, a new, family-friendly space that features oversized musical instruments for children (and many parents) to play with before select concerts. Life Trustees Richard Hunt and Stan Freehling, who started Ravinia’s sculpture collection, were on hand for the unveiling, along with donors Joel and Carole Bernstein. SUMMER OF LOVE SEASON OF STARS

JAMES CONLON SOPRANO MUSIC DIRECTOR CHICAGO DEBORAH SYMPHONY SIR LADY ORCHESTRA VOIGT JAMES & JEANNE RESIDENCY GALWAY THE CSO PLAYS THE JOSHUA SCORE LIVE AS THE FILM IS PROJECTED ON SCREENS IN THE PAVILION AND BELL GUITARIST, MILOŠ ON THE LAWN. PIANIST CLASSICS GO TO DENIS THE MOVIES MATSUEV MIDORI 20132014 CHICAGO SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA RESIDENCY ENTIRE DON GIOVANNI MOVIE WITH SCORE PLAYED LIVE BROADWAY LOVE SONGS

Ravinia’s 2014 season was dubbed “Summer of Love/Season of Stars” because of the romantic programming and full spectrum of headliners across all genres. At the heart of the romance were three interpretations of the greatest love story ever told, Romeo and Juliet, including a suite from Prokofi ev’s ballet, Tchaikovsky’s concert overture and the Oscar-winning fi lm West Side Story featuring music by Leonard Bernstein, lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, book by Arthur Laurents and choreography by Jerome Robbins. James Conlon conducted the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in two Mozart operas, the stories of a lothario in Don Giovanni and a lover in The Marriage of Figaro, for which Ravinia surprised the audiences with complimentary wedding cake. SUMMER SUMMER PACKED LIKE OF LOVE A PICNIC SEASON OF STARS

Ravinia packed more than 140 events into over 100 days in 2014, including the annual Chicago Symphony Orchestra residency and one of the most extensive chamber music series in the world. Guest artists included Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, who performed the world premiere of a song cycle commissioned by Ravinia from Jake Heggie and gave a master class with fellows from Ravinia’s Steans Music Institute. LIVING UP TO THE LEGEND

The soulful John Legend immediately set the bar high, opening the 2014 season with a sold-out concert just as his single “All of Me” topped the charts and dominated the airwaves. The intimate, acoustic evening may rank as one of Ravinia’s all-time greatest date nights. GALWAY EXPORTS LINEN AND LACE

Perhaps the world’s most famous fl utist, Sir James Galway, opened the Chicago Symphony Orchestra residency with the world premiere of Linen and Lace, a fl ute concerto he commissioned from Riverdance composer Bill Whelan, who also attended the Ravinia concert. Ravinia President and CEO Welz Kauffman also accompanied James and Lady Jeanne Galway for traditional Irish tunes. SALOME DANCES INTO HISTORY

Patricia Racette starred for the fi rst time in the title role of Richard Strauss’s take on the story of Salome, the teen temptress whose lust incites the murder of John the Baptist. James Conlon conducted the CSO in just one of the many concerts Ravinia presented to celebrate the composer’s 150th birthday. GOOD TO THE LAST NOTE

The often-elusive R&B superstar Maxwell made his Ravinia debut with such songs as “The Fire We Make,” “Fortunate,” “Simply Beautiful” and “Fistful of Tears.” MEET MILOŠ

Guitarist Miloš caused a stir on two shores as members of Ravinia’s Women’s Board met the “young artist of the year” (Gramophone, 2011) in London before the celebrated guitarist made his Ravinia debut with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra on a program of classical music that doubled as fi lm scores. He returned four days later for an up-close and personal guitar recital in the Martin Theatre. THE REAL MCGEE

With a following as loyal as the Grateful Dead’s, the Chicago-based jam band Umphrey’s McGee brought a legion of new listeners to Ravinia for its festival debut. TAKING MATTERS INTO THEIR OWN HANDS

The Ravinia Associates Board celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2014 and honored its founding president, David Weinberg, at its annual fundraising dinner-dance and auction, Music Matters, which raised nearly $500,000 this year. The group of young business leaders supports the not-for-profi t Ravinia Festival and its REACH*TEACH*PLAY education programs. BELL OF THE BALL

Sought out as a gala artist around the world, violinist Joshua Bell headlined the annual Women’s Board Gala featuring James Conlon conducting the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. The gala evening, the only concert fundraiser that supports the not-for-profi t Ravinia Festival and its REACH*TEACH*PLAY education programs, raised more than $1 million this year. The Women’s Board also raises funds for Ravinia by operating the gift shop and chair rental service. MOVIES USHER IN CAPACITY CROWD FOR CSO

Ravinia’s fi nal presentation in the Oscar-winning The Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Return of the King, became the fi rst CSO concert to sell out completely in the Pavilion and on the lawn. As with the fi rst two fi lms, Howard Shore’s score was digitally removed from the movie so that the CSO could play the music live with the movie. The 1961 Best-Picture Oscar winner, West Side Story, received similar treatment along with a radiantly remastered picture. Together the fi lms brought 38,034 guests to experience the CSO. Country superstar Carrie Underwood returned to Ravinia to perform her biggest hits accompanied by an orchestra—and accompanied by the baby she’s carrying. She joked from the stage that she needed a set list because she forgot what to sing next, blaming it on “pregnancy brain.” Photos of Underwood showing her “baby bump” for the fi rst time at Ravinia ran in publications around the world.

CARRIE UNDERWOOD’S UNANNOUNCED GUEST PAWS AND APPLAUSE

The genius behind Smashing Pumpkins and a resident of Highland Park, Billy Corgan made his Ravinia debut winning great reviews for his music and his philanthropy. Corgan offered free concert tickets to anyone who successfully applied to foster a cat or dog through PAWS. All the pets available for adoption at Ravinia on the concert night found permanent homes, and Corgan thrilled audiences with music from all phases of his career. DIRECT FROM DOWNTON

Following her portrayal of opera legend Nellie Melba on the television sensation Downton Abbey, the glorious Kiri Te Kanawa celebrated her 70th birthday by giving the world premiere of a song cycle by Jake Heggie that Ravinia commissioned for the occasion, Newer Every Day, a setting of poems by Emily Dickinson. Kiri was also accompanied on the concert by Kevin Murphy, director of the program for singers at Ravinia’s Steans Music Institute, where Kiri once again mentored young singers who auditioned for a coveted slot in Ravinia’s summer conservatory. YOU CAN’T STOP A TRAIN

To mix up Superman similes, Train, always a fan favorite, sold tickets faster than a speeding locomotive when they teamed for the fi rst time with The Wallfl owers for two nights in 2014. LIVE FROM LAWNCIERGE

Ravinia’s new, casually elegant, semi-private party space Lawncierge was all the rage in 2014, returning on its investment and creating buzz, including an entire episode of WCIU’s You and Me This Morning broadcast live from the space, which was sponsored by Celebrity Cruises. It was also featured on ABC’s Windy City Live and NBC’s First Look. The incredible soprano Dawn Upshaw introduced Ravinia fans to the song cycle for which she recently won a Grammy, Winter Morning Walks by Maria Schneider, on a Martin Theatre concert with The Knights, an inventive orchestra that reconfi gures itself for a wide variety of musical explorations. Co-founder and concertmaster Colin Jacobsen is an alumnus of Ravinia’s Steans Music Institute. The Knights also performed in the Pavilion with Yo-Yo Ma the FROM following night. DAWN TO KNIGHT FOOD NETWORK PUTS ICING ON FROM THE CAKE DAWN TO KNIGHT

Food Network in Concert at Ravinia put an exclamation point on the 2014 season with a daylong festival of food, wine and music that featured the Ravinia debuts of John Mayer and American Idol winner Phillip Phillips. The complete takeover of the festival grounds included 150 of Chicago’s favorite chefs with samples of their staples, while celebrity chefs from Food Network led tastings and demonstrations. “On initial encounter, Racette’s depraved little Judean princess was a most impressive feat of artistic derring-do, and a potent reminder of the potential for intelligent singers to WHAT’S conquer what might seem an unlikely assignment through technical acumen and sheer determination... Th e cast [of Salome] was uniformly fi rst-rate.” —Mark Th omas Ketterson, THE Opera News “Racette scored a considerable success. … Her gutsy and compelling performance set the seal on a concert rendition [of Salome] that … tingled BUZZ with nerve’s-end excitement.” —John von Rhein, Chicago Tribune

“I am thankful to the Ravinia Music Festival for giving high priority to public safety.” —Richard Hocking in Highland Park News letter to the editor “I love Ravinia, and I love the atmosphere. My family likes to come up and hear me play.” —Joshua Bell in CS magazine “It was at Ravinia that Conlon, like Levine before him, cut his teeth on the symphonic repertory before establishing his reputation at home and in Europe.” —John von Rhein, Chicago Tribune

“Some of the projects the CSO has done to perform live fi lm soundtracks have been extremely rewarding artistically.” —John Bruce Yeh in Chicago Sun-Times “Th at he [Urbański] is no mere fl ashy wunderkind of the baton was shown by the freshly invigorated playing he drew from the CSO... He conducted from memory and was able to elicit musical statements from the orchestra that carried a personal and convincing point of view... His ‘New World’ [Symphony] combined analytical clarity with lyrical warmth that had this Romantic staple pulsing with new life … an interpretation of strength, drive, thoughtful balance and vivid personality.” —John von Rhein, Chicago Tribune stage director, David Lefkowich, who knows how to use the theater’s stage apron, boxes and aisles to maximum effectiveness in focusing and projecting the drama. … The high-powered array of international singing actors appeared to thrive because of the physical limitations... Conlon was very much inside each and every dramatic moment.” —John von Rhein, Chicago Tribune

“Midori seemed determined to make us believe in its [Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto’s] considerable charms all over again. With Mälkki offering a full-blooded accompaniment that was truly symphonic in scale, the violinist succeeded admirably... What really lifted this reading beyond the ordinary was the meditative songfulness she brought to the slow movement, a section other violinists treat merely as a sweet little interlude.” —John von Rhein, Chicago Tribune

“She [Kiri Te Kanawa] was the one for all those years, and “It is very much Mälkki’s moment, and she’s seizing it with she actually made me like opera when I didn’t know I liked a vengeance... Mälkki is all purposeful vigor on the podium, opera... Aside from the fact that it is just a ravishingly and she directs that vigor entirely toward the music... So beautiful voice that is plummy and full, there is always this decisively did she shape the symphonic elements that the very joyful core to it, where you could tell that she loved Shakespearean tragedy [Romeo and Juliet] unfolded vividly singing.” in the mind’s eye. Tybalt and Mercutio locked sabers with such charged intensity that you could almost see the sparks —Jake Heggie in Chicago Sun-Times coming off their blades.” “What really stirs the artist’s [Dan Tepfer’s] enthusiasm —John von Rhein, Chicago Tribune is breaking the rules, jumping musical boundaries and investigating anything new. He especially likes to find inventive ways to juxtapose and blend classical music and jazz, drawing on his strong background in both.” —Kyle MacMillan, Chicago Sun-Times “Everything I do, there needs to be a challenge in it. So the ‘Goldberg’ Variations thing is very much that for me. When I first started doing that, it seemed completely impossible to me, and I’m still kind of amazed that I’m performing that music now.” —Dan Tepfer in Chicago Sun-Times

“This [Don Giovanni] was one Mozart concert opera in which everyone was on fire, not just the dissolute don when the Commendatore he has killed drags him to the abyss in the penultimate scene. … It was hard to single out individual performances for praise, given the fact that everyone was so good....Once again Conlon was working with a trusted RAVINIA 2014 LEADERSHIP

Businessman, entrepreneur and Ravinia Life Trustee Emory Williams was born in Falco, AL, and grew up in Quitman, MS. He graduated from Emory University in 1932 and the following year he took a job at an Atlanta warehouse of Sears Roebuck & Co., with which he was long affi liated. After serving in the Army during the Second World War, he ran Sears’ Brazilian operations, ultimately becoming the corporation’s chief fi nancial offi cer during the 1960s, a decade during which Sears was the largest retailer in the world. He went on to become president and chairman of the Sears Bank and served as a director of more than a half-dozen New York Stock Exchange companies. A passionate Ravinia booster, he contributed time, resources and leadership to the festival and became a member of the Ravinia Board of Trustees in 1972, serving as board president from 1973 to 1978. In 1973 he helped establish the “Fund to Assure Ravinia’s Future,” the festival’s endowment, and in 1979 was named a Ravinia Life Trustee. His contributions were formally recognized in 2009, when he was given Ravinia’s Marion Lloyd Award. He passed away at the age of 102 at his home in Hobe Sound, FL, surrounded by family members and music-making as his wife, Ravinia Women’s Board member Janet, and their children sang to him while his daughter, Women’s Board member Carol Schroeder, accompanied on piano via telephone. Ravinia will miss his wisdom, counsel, love of music and fantastic sense of humor. RAVINIA 2014 ADVERTISERS

FOUNDATION 22.9 M PEOPLE REACHED IN 2014

JUNE 13 — JUNE 20: WEEKLY REACH OF 7.8 MILLION (highest spike in 2013 was 1.2 million)

, followers +114%

, fans +32% One of the most , followers +24% popular posts of the season was the video of Welz Kauff man and Mayor Nancy Rotering taking the ALS ice-bucket challenge together. It was viewed by nearly 500,000 people.

More than 161,000 users have “checked in” at Ravinia. Overall the festival enjoyed another healthy fi scal year. Total festival operating revenues for fi scal 2014 reached $23.2 million, fl at against 2013 despite three canceled shows that resulted in FISCAL 2014 a loss of $1 million in admission revenues and drops in other earned revenue areas such as parking, Levy Restaurants, group sales and Ravinia Gifts. Admissions revenue for fi scal 2014 totaled $21 million versus $21.2 million in 2013. Net-revenue-generating FINANICAL (NRG) shows posted a record profi t of $5.3 million, and the Chicago Symphony concerts continued to lose money, growing to a $3.36 million loss in 2014. Production costs of nearly $19.5 million in 2014 exceeded the 2013 level by $653,000, despite the savings of $780,000 from the canceled HIGHLIGHTS shows. Th e majority of the increase came from rising artist fees, additional security, and show cancellation insurance (primarily for weather concerns). In addition, Ravinia contributed 5 percent of gross ticket revenues, or over $1 million, to the City of Highland Park as part of the 10-year agreement with the city.

Contributed income had a record year, mainly driven by support from non-classical audiences, totaling $12.6 million versus $11.8 million in 2013, up by $800,000, or 7 percent. In addition, the Women’s Board contributed $1.03 million to the festival in 2014—including $638,000 to current festival operations and $25,000 to Ravinia’s Steans Music Institute (RSMI), with the remainder set aside for future projects—and the Ravinia Associates Board contributed $510,000. Other operating expenses were up slightly against 2013, totaling $11.8 million in 2014 compared to $11.7 million the previous year.

Ravinia ended the year with a small defi cit of $70,000 before the endowment draw and after counting depreciation expenses; another successful year. Ravinia’s endowment fund draw, which is 4.5 percent of the three year rolling average, is $3.1 million. After covering the operating loss, the net $3.038 million balance will be transferred to the festival’s fi xed-asset fund. Th is transfer, coupled with the $2.2 million of funded depreciation expense will bring the fi xed-asset fund balance to approximately $14.2 million. Given the size of this balance, we will begin to invest a portion with the endowments and per their investment objectives and policy in order to gain larger returns.
