New York Philharmonic | 6 COMMUNITY New York’s Philharmonic

There are many ways in which New York’s hometown orchestra contributes to its community. First and foremost there are the many opportunities for neighbors and visitors to the city to experience the Philharmonic’s music for free, from the Free Dress Rehearsal for the Opening Gala Concert (far right, a gift to the city from the Philharmonic and Global Sponsor Credit Suisse), through the Free Annual Memorial Day Concert (below, made possible with the support of Anna-Maria and Stephen Kellen Foundation), to the original and ambitious Concerts in the Parks, Presented by Didi and Oscar Schafer (bottom, center and inset). As a cultural leader, Alan Gilbert and the Philharmonic again performed at Carnegie Hall, this time offering the World Premiere of The Strand Settings, Anders Hillborg’s song cycle comprising poems by Mark Strand, co-commissioned with that distinguished venue for soprano Renée Fleming (bottom left). At the other end of the spectrum the Philharmonic Principal Brass Quintet performed the National Anthem at a New York Giants game (center, second from bottom).

The Orchestra and its musicians again reacted to local tragedy by offering concert tickets to those impacted by Hurricane Sandy: by participating in the Major League Baseball All-Star Charity Concert, and by collecting relief items for Kids in Distressed Situations, Inc. at a Young People’s Concert (top center); and by organizing groups of musicians to perform chamber music in affected areas. The players also traveled to Connecticut for a Healing Newtown Family Concert, modeled on the Orchestra’s popular Very Young People’s Concerts (center, second from top).

New York Philharmonic | 9 THE DIGITAL PHILHARMONIC Projects Online and Beyond

Acting on a commitment to connecting with the largest possible audience, the Philharmonic has explored a range of digital projects to share its music and expertise with the world. To get a sense of the reach of the various online activities, during the 2012–13 season the Website received 1.3 million unique visitors; the radio series was heard by 60 million listeners around the world (plus 360,000 who streamed it through nyphil.org); 450,000 watched the Philharmonic’s Webcasts; and the Orchestra’s online social presence exploded, with almost a million people engaging with the Philharmonic by August 31, 2013.

The Website, nyphil.org (top), allows users to access program notes in advance, listen to clips of the music, and watch artists talk about the works they’ll perform; also “View from a Seat” shows the view of the stage, and tickets can now be printed at home. An insider’s view is shared through virtual tours, musicians’ Q&As, concert broadcasts, and the newly added What’s New section of the site that shares the latest news. The History section of the site was revised and expanded, bringing greater awareness and exposure to the Philharmonic’s rich legacy.

In addition to Alan Gilbert and the New York Philharmonic: 2012–13 Season, the self-produced downloads of concerts available on the Website and from online music stores (bottom, far right), the Orchestra collaborated with Dacapo Records to release two CDs. The first, selected by The New York Times as one of the Best Classical Music Recordings of 2012, inaugurated The Nielsen Project, which will eventually capture all the Danish composer’s symphonies and concertos. The second comprises music that Magnus Lindberg composed for the Orchestra as its Marie-Josée Kravis Composer-in-Residence (bottom, left).

The Orchestra can also be heard on The New York Philharmonic This Week, the weekly national and international radio series hosted by actor and Board Member Alec Baldwin, and on Live From Lincoln Center, which last season televised the Philharmonic’s Opening Gala Concert (September 27), New Year’s Eve (December 31), and Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Carousel. Webcasts produced in partnership with medicitv.com share highlights such as the Chinese New Year Concert and the live streaming of the performance in Dresden’s Volkswagen Transparent Factory that included Magnus Lindberg’s Kraft. And, for the second time, the Philharmonic produced a film of a dynamic production for later screenings in movie theaters, with A Dancer’s Dream being released in September 2013.

The range of repertoire which this Orchestra plays masterfully was reflected in the contrasting composers whose music was explored during the season. Brahms’s symphonies and concertos were all performed, as led by four conductors including Lorin Maazel, on January 16 (bottom right), and his chamber music appeared on all four Saturday Matinee Concerts, and The Nielsen Project (below), with Alan Gilbert conductor and Robert Langevin as soloist in the Flute Concerto, October 10 — the multiseason initiative to present and record all of the great Danish composer’s symphonies and concertos — continued. In addition, the Philharmonic said farewell to Marvin Hamlisch, the great New York Broadway composer who had himself conducted the Orchestra on several occasions, in a televised New Year’s Eve tribute (right) on December 31, with, from left, Raúl Esparza, Kelli O’Hara, Beth Behrs, Josh Groban, Audra McDonald, who also hosted, Brian d’Arcy James, Maria Friedman, Megan Hilty, and, not in photo, Joshua Bell, Lilla Crawford, and Michael Feinstein.

ARTISTICSEASON HIGHLIGHTCOLLABORATIONS The MaryShanghai and JamesCollaboration G. Wallach Artist-in-Residence Emanuel Ax

In November 2012 the New York Philharmonic, Shanghai Symphony Orchestra, and the Shanghai Conservatory of Music announced the New York Philharmonic – Shanghai Symphony Orchestra Residency and Academy Partnership. “The partnership between the Shanghai Symphony and the New York Philharmonic is a wonderful way to have music as a common language between two of the world’s greatest cities,” said Philharmonic Chairman Gary W. Parr.

This agreement for a four-year partnership establishes annual performance residencies by the Philharmonic in Shanghai through the 2017–18 season as well as the Shanghai Orchestral Academy (SOA). The first New York Philharmonic performance residency in Shanghai will take place in the summer of 2015. Preparations for the SOA, which will open in the fall of 2014, have already begun. This education platform to train professional orchestral musicians on the highest level will offer a Master of Fine Arts as well as an exclusive opportunity to serve apprenticeships with world-renowned orchestras including the New York Philharmonic and Shanghai Symphony Orchestra. Philharmonic musicians will serve on the faculty, involving travel to Shanghai each semester to set up individual teaching plans for students, give lessons, and lead master classes; the students’ development will be monitored regularly via real-time online classes and performance assessments.

SEASON HIGHLIGHT Philharmonic Galas

The season was punctuated with three glamorous galas. The Opening Gala Concert (September 27), conducted by Alan Gilbert, kicked off the season in style, thanks in great part to the virtuosity of the evening’s soloist, Philharmonic Board Member and legendary violinist Itzhak Perlman. In the second annual Chinese New Year Gala (February 12), Long Yu again conducted a mix of Western classical masterpieces and some of today’s most exciting music coming from China. “An Enchanted Evening with Paulo Szot,” the Spring Gala (June 4), featured the popular baritone serenading leading ladies of Broadway and television while Ted Sperling conducted the Orchestra. “The Philharmonic’s ‘new tradition of celebrating the Chinese New Year’ … was a pleasure from first note to last. … [T]he orchestra was in flawless fettle.” — MusicalAmerica.com

The Opening Gala, which kicked off the season in style, was presided over by Executive Director Matthew VanBesien and his wife, Rosanne Jowitt; Philharmonic Chairman Gary W. Parr; Gala Co-Chairmen SungEun Han-Andersen (not pictured: her husband, G. Chris Andersen) and Ronald and Christie Ulrich; and Michael Nelson, brand president at Breguet US, Exclusive Timepiece of the Philharmonic and the Gala’s presenter.

New York Philharmonic | 32 SEASON HIGHLIGHT Tour and Travel

The New York Philharmonic’s global presence, which began in 1920, continued in the 2013–14 season with the EUROPE / SPRING 2013 tour, May 2–17. Beginning as far east as one can go on that continent with a visit to Turkey — with its first return to Istanbul in 18 years and its debut in Izmir — Alan Gilbert and the musicians performed in some of the cultural capitals of the wellspring of the orchestral tradition, including a visit to Global Sponsor Credit Suisse’s home in Zurich and a two-concert celebration of the centennial of Vienna’s historic Konzerthaus. Along the way they introduced Europeans to some of the exciting projects they have been developing at home, including the results of partnerships with The Marie-Josée Kravis Composer-in-Residence (represented by the European premiere of Christopher Rouse’s Prospero’s Rooms), The Mary and James G. Wallach Artist-in-Residence (with pianist Emanuel Ax sharing his beloved approach to Mozart), and distinguished friends such as violinist Joshua Bell and cellist Jan Vogler appearing as soloists. A highpoint was the immersive performance, at Volkswagen’s Transparent Factory in Dresden, of Magnus Lindberg’s raucous Kraft — an event that was Webcast live — following the series of groundbreaking events that have been a hallmark of the Gilbert era at the Philharmonic. Other travels in the season included the weekend in Ann Arbor, February 23–24, which featured two performances and the announcement of the completion of the first phase of the Philharmonic Digital Archives, made possible by the generous support of the Leon Levy Foundation (see page 11); the 11th

annual residency at the Bravo! Vail festival, Highlights of the Philharmonic’s travels included (clockwise from top right) the July 19–26; and visits to Long Island University’s performance of Magnus Lindberg’s Kraft in Dresden’s Volkswagen Transparent Factory; the first return to Istanbul in 18 years, where a group of musicians visited Tilles Center for the Performing Arts in the Blue Mosque; a trimphant concert in Zurich’s Tonhalle; as well as the visit to Bravo! Vail that featured a project with students in the Very Young Composers of Brookville, New York (June 7) and the New Vail program, spearheaded by Philharmonic Young Composers’ Advocate Jon Deak Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark, (standing, far left), and performances at the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater. New Jersey (December 7).

NOTE 2 - INVESTMENTS CONTINUED

The FASB’s ASC Topic 820-10-05 establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy of fair-value measurements. The Society’s investments in these types of funds are valued based on the valuation policies and procedures These valuation techniques are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect of the general partner or manager and reviewed by the Society’s Investment Committee of the Board of market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions. These Directors. The Investment Committee performs oversight of the underlying investment managers’ material two types of inputs create the following fair-value hierarchy: positions both on an investment level and from a risk perspective. The Investment Committee is also responsible for ensuring that investments are valued according to the policies and procedures adopted by Level 1: Valuations are based on observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices in active markets the Society. The Society places reliance upon those procedures and records these investments at fair value, for those investments, or similar investments, at the reporting date. as determined by the underlying investment managers. The classification of investments in the fair-value hierarchy is not necessarily an indication of the risks, liquidity, or degree of difficulty in estimating the fair Level 2: Valuations are based on (i) quoted prices for those investments, or similar investments, in active value of each investment’s underlying assets and liabilities. The availability of available market data is monitored markets, or (ii) quoted prices for investments, or similar investments, in markets to assess the appropriate classification of financial instruments within the fair-value hierarchy. Changes in that are not active, or (iii) pricing inputs other than quoted prices that are directly or indirectly economic conditions or valuation techniques may require the transfer of financial instruments from one level observable at the reporting date. Level 2 assets include those securities that are redeemable at to another. In such instances, the transfer is reported at the beginning of the reporting period. or near the balance sheet date and for which a model was derived for valuation.

Level 3: Valuations are based on pricing inputs that are unobservable and includes situations where (i) there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability, or (ii) the underlying investments of which could not be independently valued, or (iii) they cannot be immediately redeemed at or near the fiscal year-end.

Most investments classified in Levels 2 and 3 consist of ownership shares or units in investment funds as opposed to direct interests in the funds’ underlying holdings, which may be marketable. Because the net asset value reported by each fund is used as a practical expedient to estimate fair value of the Society’s interest therein, its classification in Level 3 is based on the Society’s ability to redeem its interest at or near year-end. If the interest can be redeemed in the near term, the investment is classified as Level 2.

The FASB provides accounting guidance on measuring the fair value of certain investments such as private equity funds, fund of funds, and hedge funds, to offer investors a practical expedient for measuring the fair value of investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value (“NAV”). Under that practical expedient, entities are permitted to use NAV without adjustment for certain investments that qualified under the guidance. The Society’s investments in funds fitting this description, classified within Level 3 of the fair-value hierarchy, are carried at fair value based on NAV. Investments in these types of funds are subject to withdrawal restrictions, and, for these Level 3 investments, the Society does not have the ability to withdraw at reported NAV at August 31, 2013 or within a reasonable period of time.

NOTE 5 - PENSION PLANS

The Society maintains two defined-benefit pension plans, one for members of the orchestra and one for The primary objective of the plans’ trustees is to provide a balance among capital appreciation, preservation of office employees. The Society’s funding policy is to contribute funds to a trust as necessary to provide capital, and the production of current income. The plans’ trustees recognize that risk (i.e., the uncertainty of future for current service and for any unfunded accrued benefit liabilities, over a reasonable period, to meet IRS events), volatility (i.e., the potential for variability of asset values) and the possibility of loss in purchasing power minimum-funding requirements. To the extent that these requirements are fully covered by assets in the trust, a (due to inflation) are present to some degree in all types of investment vehicles.

In establishing this policy, management has considered the long-term expected return on the endowment assets. Accordingly, over the long term, management expects the current spending policy to maintain the purchasing power of the endowment assets held in perpetuity or for a specified term, as well as to provide additional real growth through new gifts and investment returns.
