  • ANNUAL REPORT 2019/20 Fadi Kheir Fadi LETTERS from the LEADERSHIP
    ANNUAL REPORT 2019/20 Fadi Kheir Fadi LETTERS FROM THE LEADERSHIP The New York Philharmonic’s 2019–20 season certainly saw it all. We recall the remarkable performances ranging from Berlioz to Beethoven, with special pride in the launch of Project 19 — the single largest commissioning program ever created for women composers — honoring the ratification of the 19th Amendment. Together with Lincoln Center we unveiled specific plans for the renovation and re-opening of David Geffen Hall, which will have both great acoustics and also public spaces that can welcome the community. In March came the shock of a worldwide pandemic hurtling down the tracks at us, and on the 10th we played what was to be our final concert of the season. Like all New Yorkers, we tried to come to grips with the life-changing ramifications The Philharmonic responded quickly and in one week created NY Phil Plays On, a portal to hundreds of hours of past performances, to offer joy, pleasure, solace, and comfort in the only way we could. In August we launched NY Phil Bandwagon, bringing live music back to New York. Bandwagon presented 81 concerts from Chris Lee midtown to the far reaches of every one of the five boroughs. In the wake of the Erin Baiano horrific deaths of Black men and women, and the realization that we must all participate to change society, we began the hard work of self-evaluation to create a Philharmonic that is truly equitable, diverse, and inclusive. The severe financial challenge caused by cancelling fully a third of our 2019–20 concerts resulting in the loss of $10 million is obvious.

  • BUSINESSMAN Can't Take It with You the Art of Making and Giving
    ffirs.qxd 2/25/04 9:36 AM Page i Praise for Can’t Take It with You “Lewis Cullman is one of this nation’s major and most generous philanthro- pists. Here he combines a fascinating autobiography of a life in finance with a powerful exposé of how the business of giving works, including some tips for all of us on how to leverage our money to enlarge our largess.” —Walter Cronkite “Lewis Cullman has woven a rich and seamless fabric from the varied strands of his business, philanthropic, and personal life. Every chapter is filled with wonderful insights and amusing anecdotes that illuminate a life that has been very well lived. This book has been written with an honesty and candor that should serve as a model for others.” —David Rockefeller “An extraordinary look at the accomplishments of a pioneer in finance. Cullman has approached his role as a philanthropist with vigor and presents a powerful argument for reform among private foundations.” —George Soros Chairman, Soros Fund Management “I was so enjoyably exhausted after reading the book—I can only imagine liv- ing the life! It seems there is no good cause that Lewis has not supported, no good business opportunity that Lewis has missed, and no fun that Lewis has not had.” —Agnes Gund President Emerita, The Museum of Modern Art “Now I know that venture capitalism and horse trading are almost as much fun as looking for new species in the Amazon. This book is exceptionally well written. The prose is evocative, vibrant, and inspirational.” —Edward O.

  • Juilliard Dance
    Juilliard Dance Senior Graduation Concert 2019 Welcome to Juilliard Dance Senior Graduation Concert 2019 Tonight, you will experience the culmination of a transformative four-year journey for the senior class of Juilliard Dance. Through rigorous physical training and artistic and intellectual exploration, all of the fourth-year dancers have expanded the possibilities of their movement abilities, stretching beyond what they thought possible when entering the program as freshmen. They have accepted the challenge of what it means to be a generous citizen artist and hold that responsibility close to their hearts. Chosen by the dancers, the solos and duets presented tonight have been commissioned for this evening or acquired from existing repertory and staged for this singular occasion. The works represent the manifestation of an evolution of growth and the discovery of their powerfully unique artistic voices. I am immensely proud of each and every fourth-year artist; it has been a joy and an honor to get to know the senior class, a group of individuals who will inevitably change the landscape of the field of dance as it exists today. Please join me for a standing ovation, cheering on the members of the class of 2019 as they take the stage for the last time together in the Peter Jay Sharp Theater. Well done, dancers—we thank you for your beautiful contributions to our Juilliard community and to the world beyond our campus. Sincerely, Little mortal jump Alicia Graf Mack Director, Juilliard Dance Cover: Alejandro Cerrudo's This page: Collaboration

    “This chameleon of an event not only retains its eclectic nature, it builds upon it as needed. In this city titles in some major festivals can be too predictable. This is not the case in this refreshing mélange.” Howard Feinstein, Filmmaker Magazine THEN AND NOW: IN 1975 ASIAN CINEVISION WAS FOUNDED AS CCTV (CHINESE CABLE TELEVISION) PRODUCING A WEEKLY 30 MINUTE COMMUNITY AFFAIRS TV SHOW AIRING ON THE WARNER AMEX CABLE NETWORK. THE FIRST ASIAN AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL SCREENED JUST 42 FILMS IN 1978. TODAY 40 YEARS LATER AAIFF SCREENS CLOSE TO 100 TITLES FROM NEARLY 30 COUNTRIES OVER TEN DAYS IN JULY. PHOTOS COURTESY OF (L) CORKY LEE AND (R) LIA CHANG. THE ANNUAL ASIAN AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL (AAIFF) is New York’s leading showcase for the Asian American and Asian independent cinema. Presented by Asian CineVision (ACV), the AAIFF is the first and longest-running festival in the U.S. to showcase the moving image work by artists of Asian descent and about the Asian American experience. AAIFF premiered in the seminal summer of 1978 at the Henry Street Settlement in New York City. Ed Koch had been elected mayor, the first cellular mobile phone is introduced, serial killer David Berkowitz, “Son of Sam,” is convicted of murder, GREASE, SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER, and CLOSE ENCOUNTERS were the blockbusters of their day. Forty years later, the AAIFF has grown to include films and video from more than 30 coun- tries, answering a growing need for social understanding, cultural diversity in American life, and independent cinema. AAIFF has played a vital role in discovering and nurturing such acclaimed talent as Oscar Award winners Ang Lee, Jessica Yu, Steven Okazaki, Ruby Yang and Chris Tashima; Os- car Award nominees Christine Choy and Rene Tajima-Pena, Frieda Lee Mock, Arthur Dong, Zhang Yimou; and mainstream entertainment directors Wayne Wang, Mira Nair, and Justin Lin.
