Dear Friends, Finally, I would like to extend my deepest thanks to our Executive and Artistic Director Clive Gillinson and our Board of Trustees and staff, whose tireless efforts and striving toward excellence have made Carnegie Hall what it is today. It is my great pleasure to present you with Carnegie Hall’s 2016–2017 Annual Report, which chronicles another exciting and defining year in our This is a golden time in Carnegie Hall’s history. We are expanding access to world-class artists, enriching the musical storied history—a history that you help us write anew each and every year. experience for our audiences, transforming music education, and bringing the magic of our legendary stages to people and communities throughout America and across the world. Carnegie Hall shares with you a deep and abiding commitment to excellence in music performance and music education. The Annual Thank you for imagining with us a future for Carnegie Hall that knows no walls, borders, or boundaries. I look forward Report that follows is a testament to our belief that music is about much to building that future alongside you in 2018 and beyond. more than entertainment; music has the power to transcend boundaries, bring people together, and create a more open and connected society. Sincerely, Music gives all of us a voice, and helps each and every one of us discover and unlock our full potential—and live our best lives.

In 2017, we brought the world’s greatest artists across virtually every genre to our three legendary stages. These artists bring cultures closer through music and make Carnegie Hall a window onto the world for all Robert F. Smith audiences. Through Carnegie Hall’s Weill Music Institute (WMI), we have Chairman of the Board built on our considerable outreach efforts into communities to reach our next generation of music lovers and performers. Examples include such iconic programs as Link Up, which partners with orchestras, venues, and elementary schools around the world; the National Youth Orchestra of the United States of America, which brings the most talented young American musicians to the international stage and showcases them as cultural ambassadors for their country; PlayUSA, an initiative that brings quality instrumental education to young musicians across the country who live in underserved communities; and Musical Connections, which creates opportunity for personal expression and dignity to individuals in our justice system. On each of our stages and in every corner of the world that WMI’s programs touch, our community of artistic and educational excellence is growing and touching more lives each day.

Which brings me to you, our extended Carnegie Hall family, whose investment and dedication make all of this possible. It is with heartfelt gratitude that we give a standing ovation to Len and Emily Blavatnik for their leadership gift to our 125th Anniversary Campaign, which we were proud to recognize by formally naming the Blavatnik Family First Tier in our main auditorium at a special ribbon-cutting ceremony on Opening Night. We salute Sanford I. and Joan Weill for their most generous support of our Campaign—and for ensuring that music education is available to children in our public schools. I also want to give my personal thanks to Beatrice Santo Domingo and Marina Kellen French for joining me in helping Carnegie Hall nurture the talent of the very best of America’s youth by creating a long-term financial base for our national youth ensembles and professional development programs. We also thank Bank of America, our season sponsor for 12 consecutive years and sponsor of the 125th Anniversary Gala, and Anne M. Finucane for her stewardship of this partnership. We gratefully acknowledge Breguet as our Exclusive Timepiece, Mastercard as the Preferred Card of Carnegie Hall, and United Airlines as our official airline since 1997. We express appreciation to our generous Gala leadership throughout the season, as well as the countless supporters of these special celebratory nights that raised essential funds toward Carnegie Hall’s artistic and education programs.

We extend our deep sympathies to the Kellen family on the passing of Anna-Maria Kellen, widow of former Trustee Stephen M. Kellen and beloved mother of Trustee Marina Kellen French. With a heavy heart, we also mourn the passing of our dear friend and former Trustee John W. Zick.

Last season, we were proud to welcome new Trustees Valentino D. Carlotti, Sarkis Jebejian, Michael E. Liebowitz, Andrew J. Martin-Weber, Clarke Murphy, Gbenga Oyebode, Tracy Chutorian Semler, and Richard Tsai. We thank Fleischmann. Alan by Photo longtime Trustees Robert I. Lipp, Jolyon Stern, and Sir Howard Stringer for their years of distinguished service, as well as Edward C. Forst for his service as Treasurer since 2010 and for his dedication to Carnegie Hall as a Trustee since 2007. We give special thanks to Kenneth J. Bialkin for his dedicated service as Secretary of the Board for 26 years, and congratulate Ken on his election as Carnegie Hall’s first Secretary Emeritus.

2 2016 | 2017 Annual Report From the Chairman of the Board 3 From the Executive and Artistic Director

Dear Friends, represent the best in performance while being equally committed to education, advocacy, entrepreneurship, and giving back to their communities through music. Entering its second decade, the group has made an exciting Carnegie Hall’s 2016–2017 season invited audiences to make new and impact through its more than 100 alumni, now engaged in developing major performance, education, and social inspiring discoveries. Whether exploring long-lost early music gems impact programs worldwide. from the Venetian Republic during the Hall’s La Serenissima festival, listening to brand-new works from our 125 Commissions Project, taking Looking ahead, the scope and scale of Carnegie Hall’s aspirations continue to grow, rooted in our commitment an unprecedented journey through Bruckner’s symphonies, or taking part to making a difference in the cultural life of all New Yorkers, and expanding, particularly through opportunities in the incredible range of education and social impact programs offered at presented through technology and partnership, to making contributions to people’s lives around the globe. Thank the Hall and beyond, it was a year of remarkable musical experiences and you for being a part of Carnegie Hall’s extended family. It is through the collective hard work of all of you—artists, performances by a dazzling array of the world’s finest artists. concertgoers, trustees, supporters, volunteers, and staff—and your belief in our institution that Carnegie Hall continues to be at the forefront of the best in music around the world. Three spectacular concerts by conductor Gustavo Dudamel and the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela provided a brilliant With all best wishes, opening to the season with Stravinsky’s ballet music, Latin-American repertoire, and Messiaen’s sumptuous Turangalîla-symphonie.

Series curated by internationally acclaimed artists provided wonderful musical journeys for concertgoers throughout the year. Sir Simon Rattle returned for the second season of his two-year Perspectives series, including his final New York appearances as music director of the Clive Gillinson Berliner Philharmoniker. We celebrated the 80th birthday of acclaimed Executive and Artistic Director composer Steve Reich during his season-long residency as holder of the Richard and Barbara Debs Composer’s Chair, which featured an all-star 80th birthday concert in Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage as well as Three Generations, an inventive four-concert series exploring the evolution of music from the mid–20th century to today. Marking the 60th anniversary of his Carnegie Hall debut, Daniel Barenboim led his Staatskapelle Berlin in a complete cycle of Bruckner’s numbered symphonies in nine concerts over 11 days—the first time this cycle has been presented by an orchestra in one season anywhere in the United States—paired exquisitely with music by Mozart, which Maestro Barenboim frequently conducted from the keyboard in monumental performances that no one in attendance will forget.

Anchoring our season of musical exploration was our citywide festival La Serenissima: Music and Arts from the Venetian Republic, with dozens of events taking a look at the stunning artistic legacy of this influential city-state that flourished for 1,000 years until it was disbanded in 1797. Building on Carnegie Hall’s recent increased emphasis on early music, La Serenissima enabled audiences to immerse themselves in the vivid artistic flowering of this unique period in history over the course of three weeks, discovering rarely heard masterworks performed by leading artists who have championed this music throughout their careers. Broadening the picture, fascinating programming created by partner institutions across New York City and digital partners online extended a further invitation into this vibrant world, providing greater cultural context and insights for arts lovers.

We believe Carnegie Hall is so much more than a concert venue where people come to enjoy world-class music, and central to our work is a dedication to creating innovative music education and social impact programs that bring the transformative power of music to as many people, in as many places, as possible—from students in the classroom to young people in the justice system to aspiring professional musicians. Here in New York, the Hall’s Resnick Education Wing has quickly become a key destination for young musicians, educators, and members of the community to meet, make music, exchange ideas, and find inspiration. Looking further afield, through the work of the Weill Music Institute (WMI), we now engage over half a million people each season, leveraging partnerships with artists and partner organizations worldwide to greatly increase our impact and connect with more people than we ever could on our own.

Continuing to transport our mission around the world, Carnegie Hall’s celebrated National Youth Orchestra of the

United States of America broke new ground this season with its first-ever tour to Latin America, led by Marin Alsop. Lee.

Music teachers in community and school settings who work with students in grades 6–12 strengthened their skills in a series of professional training and musical activities in the Resnick Education Wing. From September to June, New York City music teachers at all stages of their careers had the opportunity to participate in workshops with student ensembles and visiting faculty, learn from professional artists, and attend Carnegie Hall concerts. Nate Sutton, a middle school teacher for a public school in New York City’s Chinatown, said of the experience, “I’ve been able to make better lesson plans, think about creativity in a new way, and allow kids to work through their most natural creative desires without being afraid. Being able to talk to someone else who does the same thing you do, and to learn from people who themselves are from a music education Music Educators Workshop background, is invaluable.” In July 2017, the National January 21 Summer Music Educators Workshop included four days of intensive workshops on building a culture of creativity in music classrooms, and a performance by the National Youth FACULTY Orchestra of the United States of America (NYO-USA) at Randall Everett Allsup Ronnie Oliver, Jr. Carnegie Hall.

Carnegie Hall’s Weill Music Institute brought together 115 of the brightest Youth young players, ages 16–19, from 33 US states to form the orchestra.

Matthew Garcia, a violist from Harlingen, Texas, and a first-generation Mexican immigrant who was accepted to NYO-USA in 2017 after participating in NYO2 in 2016, said of the experience performing in Mexico and South America: “In my community—the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas—exposure to the global world of classical music is absent. But exposure to programs like NYO2 and NYO-USA is bringing light to the possibilities of a world unknown to students like me. I am absolutely ecstatic to immerse myself in the culture of my ancestors while sharing my love for classical music with the world.” Supporting Sponsor: PepsiCo Foundation
