We may not be in the Green Music Center in person, but imagine that across our community, we will all be gathering for a performance—in living rooms and backyards, on phones and TVs, with family or maybe some neighbors . In the face of the difficulties behind us and the struggles ahead, we will share the same uplifting musical experience together as we have always needed during past crises from 9/11 to the Tubbs fire . This is truly a historic moment in our Symphony's long history and we are so glad you will be a part of our first concerts, specifically programmed, directed and filmed for you to enjoy in your homes . If you are a long-time subscriber, this will be your chance to see our musicians up close on stage, from many different angles, and fea- tured in unique formations . And if you are new, you will be immersed SUSAN AND NEIL SILVERMAN PHOTOGRAPHY in our story, as you will get to know our musicians and learn about the many ways the Santa Rosa Symphony is a centerpiece of our community . This entire undertaking is a love letter to our community, while also being a statement to the world about what can be achieved through goodwill, trust and a commitment to building a brighter future together . So, let’s take this delightful journey through a vast, diverse array of works from our more than three-hundred-year-old repertoire . From 16th-century brass chorales to Peruvian dances, from an Italian concerto for six instruments to ragtime, these are programs that will surprise and delight you at every turn . Anchoring our fall programs will be a journey through Beethoven’s first three symphonies, which tell the story of how one composer forever changed our artform—and a perfect way to celebrate Beethoven’s 250th birthday this December! I would like to finish with a personal note of gratitude . None of this would have been possible without an unwavering commitment to keeping our music alive, even under the most difficult of circumstances, from all our stakeholders—musicians, staff, board, donors, volunteers, ticket holders, the Green Music Center, Sonoma State University and many public officials . From the bottom of my heart – THANK YOU! Sincerely, To learn how you can benefit the next generation of musicians, consult with your professional advisors and call the Santa Rosa Symphony Development Director Francesco Lecce-Chong at 707 546-7097 x 214.

  • 2013 Retrospective FINAL
    A LOOK BACK AT THE McDONALD’S ALL AMERICAN® GAMES SUPERSTARS AND UNFORGETTABLE MEMORIES FROM GAMES PAST You’ve seen them on TV and at the movies, in the NBA, WNBA and college ranks – McDonald’s All American alumni are household names to basketball fans. But before they were winning Olympic gold medals, NBA, WNBA and NCAA championships, many of them received their first major national television exposure as high school students at the McDonald’s All American Games. Since the Games inception, more than 1,000 prep stars have been named McDonald’s All Americans and had the opportunity to show off their skills on a national stage before reaching the college or professional ranks. Most importantly, the Games raise funds for Ronald McDonald House Charities® (RMHC®) and its network of local Chapters. To date, the McDonald’s All American Games have raised more than $10 million for RMHC, helping to bring families together in their time of need. As we look forward to celebrating the 37th Anniversary of the McDonald’s All American Boys Game and the 13th Anniversary of the Girls Game on April 2, 2014 in Chicago, Ill., the following is a brief look back at highlights from the past 36 years of McDonald’s All American Games, including funds raised for RMHC: Chicago, Ill. 2013 For the third year in a row, the 2013 McDonald’s All American Games took place at Chicago’s United Center. The 2013 Games raised nearly $470,000 for Ronald McDonald House Charities and were played in front of a crowd of 15,818.

    ONE HUNDRED EIGHTIETH ANNUAL COMMENCEMENT Dear Friends: Welcome to Indiana University’s 2009 Commencement. Together, on this great day of celebration, we pause to honor the tremendous accomplishments of our graduates. This is their shining moment. Coming from across the state of Indiana, throughout the nation, and around the world, they have become a part of the fabric of excellence woven at Indiana University over the course of nearly two centuries. In subjects ranging from accounting to zoology, they have drawn on their intelligence, talents, and tenacity to achieve mastery and prepare for the challenges of tomorrow. We honor their achievements today and recognize the challenges they have already faced, and overcome, as they have pursued their dreams. This day has been years in the making: years of study and years of support. Our graduates have reached this wonderful day propelled by the love, encouragement, and faith of their families and friends. The strength of that support helps each of us achieve our highest aspirations and deserves our deepest gratitude. Today is as much a day to share that gratitude as to celebrate. Indiana University’s class of 2009 will always be a part of IU’s rich and living history. Having dedicated themselves to the pursuit of academic excellence, driven by curiosity and intellectual passion, our graduates are now poised on the cusp of ever greater accomplishments. We will remember and celebrate them always, wishing them the greatest success in the future. Most sincerely, Michael A. McRobbie President Glimpses of Commencements Past “The Commencement of 1833 was held in the “Society, through government, through “If someone were to ask me casually about life, I new chapel, the orchestra composed of two philanthropy, and through the sacrifices of would simply say, ‘Play it like you feel it, baby, flutes, & one of them cracked—imagine the individual families, has supported higher and live it up, kid.
