I applaud the Center for the Performing Arts for taking this step in providing a new and environmentally friendly format. The highlight of the 2008–2009 season, of course, was the debut performance of the extraordinary trio of Emanuel Ax, Itzhak Perlman, and Yo-Yo Ma. This was a real coup for the Center for the Performing Arts. These international artists could have gone anywhere for this performance. The fact they choose Penn State is a testament to the reputation of Center for the Performing Arts employees and audiences. As you read this report it will become even clearer, I believe, what a jewel we have in the Center for the Performing Arts. Its one-of-a-kind enriching artistic experiences reach out and touch people from across central Pennsylvania. A great example is the Informances for Schools series. These school-time performances attracted nearly 7,000 students — an increase of nearly 2,000 from the previous season — from sixty-one schools and eighty- seven home-school groups in a thirteen-county region. You will also discover that, despite the economic challenges we all faced, the Center for the Performing Arts had strong participation across its programs. Membership and spon- sorship support grew, campus and community residencies expanded, and two endow- ments were created. Thank you to all who supported the Center for the Performing Arts through partnership, membership, sponsorship, and participation in programs. Barbara O. Korner, dean College of Arts and Architecture I really love the energy students add to our audiences. Our partner- ship with Penn State’s Integrative Arts Department brought 450 students — enrolled each semester in an online course introducing them to the performing arts — to Center for the Performing Arts presentations. Some 30 percent of our audience — an all-time high — was made up of Penn State students. We also connected students with artists through our growing on- campus residency program of master classes, clinics, workshops, symposia, pre-concert talks, and post-performance talkbacks. The Center for the Performing Arts gives real-world experience to the 165 students we employ each semester.

They reflect a tradition of giving that dates to the founding of the Farmers’ High School on donated land. They represent a culture of philanthropy that has been building through three comprehensive University-wide campaigns over four decades. And they illustrate how, over the course of the last six years, For the Future: The Campaign for Penn State Students has inspired our alumni and friends with new excitement about what lies ahead for our institution.
