Yeager Annual Report FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2019 To Our Patrons, Musicians, Stakeholders, and Friends: We are pleased to submit this Annual Report of The Chicago Philharmonic Society’s activities during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019. Our twenty-ninth season was an extraordinary time of growth and productivity. Through the leadership of Artistic Director and Principal Conductor Scott Speck, Artistic Advisor James Berkenstock, and the musician-majority Artistic Committee, we created our 2018-2019 Season: Heroes and Legends. Our first concerts featured the culmination of our Polish exchange in a five-day classical music festival, held across new- to-us venues in traditionally Polish neighborhoods throughout Chicago - including the Polish Museum of America, Copernicus Center, and St. Hyacinth Basilica. We then continued our multi-year residency at Chicago’s Harris Theater for Music and Dance and performed at Pick-Staiger Hall in Evanston and North Shore Center for the Performing Arts in Skokie. We served in our seventh season as the Official Orchestra of the Joffrey Ballet, continued to work with esteemed institutions such as the American Ballet Theatre and Ravinia Festival, and engaged new collaborators including English National Ballet, Pitchfork Music, and the Art Institute of Chicago. The Chicago Phil Chamber Players continued their popular series at City Winery Chicago in the West Loop, bringing joyful and accessible concert experiences to increasingly diverse audiences. Our community engagement programs in schools in the Chicagoland area involved an ever-growing number of students and communities, focusing on Chicago’s west and south side neighborhoods. Our Side by Side with the Chicago Philharmonic concerts were once again exceptionally popular, bringing professional and community musicians together to perform free concerts. Overall, we produced 89 symphonic performances and 7 chamber performances. We engaged 308 musicians and performed over 191 different works. Our symphonic activities (including rehearsals and performances) spanned 96 days. All of this activity supported our musicians in their careers and increased recognition of our musical excellence among audiences and critics. Our annual report contains a full chronicle of the season’s achievements. Financially, we are proud to report a surplus in Fiscal Year 2019 (FY 19), which is our eighth in a row. Our staff continues to grow in skill and scale and is dedicated to the organization’s mission and growth. Our approach to organizational governance is increasingly gaining attention as a successful and sustainable model with both performing musicians and prominent community members participating as Board and committee members. On behalf of our board, staff, and musicians, we want to thank our patrons, contributors, and volunteers for their tremendous support throughout the past year. Tom Manning Donna Milanovich Chairman Executive Director Annual Report The Chicago Philharmonic’s 2018-2019 season, Heroes and Chicago Classical Review noting “one could hardly imagine a finer Legends, celebrated beloved characters and icons from film, or more musically rewarding launch to the Chicago Philharmonic’s literature, and history through classical music.

  • Chicago Philharmonic Performs Playful Soundtracks to Hilarious Silent Films in the North Shore
    Contact: Cassandra Kirkpatrick [email protected] (312) 957-0000 Chicago Philharmonic Performs Playful Soundtracks to Hilarious Silent Films in the North Shore Chicago, IL - (March 11 2019) Following critically acclaimed, sold-out performances with the Joffrey Ballet and English National Ballet, the Chicago Philharmonic returns to the North Shore to present another unforgettable multimedia production combining film and classical music. Featuring fresh new soundtracks by Tom Nazziola, a prolific composer and conductor best known for his work on film, television and musicals, Silent Sherlock will astound and entertain audiences at the North Shore Center for the Performing Arts in Skokie this March. Nazziola will lead the Chicago Philharmonic ensemble in three new film scores to accompany a live screening of movies from the golden age of silent film in the 1920s. Headlining the program is Sherlock Jr., starring perhaps the greatest comedic genius of the 20th century, Buster Keaton. Hilarious hijinks ensue as Keaton attempts to impress his sweetheart, solve a mystery, and save the day. Accompanying spectacular cinematography is a colorful palette of violin, piano, bass, and winds painted with Nazziola’s masterful hand. Silent Sherlock also features the short Sure-Locked Homes with legendary cartoon character Felix the Cat and Fadeaway, at the time a revolutionary blend of animation and live action, with vividly entertaining Koko the Clown. Nazziola’s film scores have been lavishly praised by Rolling Stone: “Nazziola is doing astonishing compositional work with silent films…his contribution indispensable.” Silent Sherlock Films with live music March 24 2019, 4:00pm North Shore Center for the Performing Arts, Skokie Tom Nazziola composer and conductor Featuring the silent films Sherlock Jr.

Aside from when it was used as a servicemen’s center during World War II, the theatre sat unused and in disrepair, until a 7-year-long fundraising campaign – led by Beatrice Spachner and the Auditorium Theatre Council – covered the costs of theatre renovation, culminating with a grand re-opening on October 31, 1967.
