About
FROM THE OPENING CHORDS OF BEETHOVEN'S EROCIA IN SEPTEMBER 2017 TO THE FABULOUS INDIGO GIRLS PERFORMANCE IN JUNE 2018, THE 2017-2018 SEASON WAS FULL OF MOMENTUM AND VIGOR. WE BUILT ON EARLIER SUCCESSES, FORGED INNOVATIVE COLLABORATIONS, GREW OUR AUDIENCES, SOLD OUT MORE CONCERTS, AND WELCOMED NEW SUPPORTERS!WE PERFORMED AT DOWNTOWN'S RENOVATED PROMENADE PARK, WELCOMING OVER 22,000 FANS OVER THREE CONCERTS. WE ENJOYED A SPECIAL EVENING WITH CRYSTAL BOWERSOX IN JUNE 2017, WELCOMED CROONER STEVE TYRELL IN JULY 2017, AND CELEBRATED THE MUSIC OF PRINCE IN SEPTEMBER 2017 AS PART OF THE MOMENTUM FESTIVAL. THROUGH THESE CONCERTS AND WITH THESE CROWDS, THE TOLEDO SYMPHONY WAS PART OF A SPECIAL MOMENT IN THE CITY'S RENAISSANCE.WE BROKE NEW GROUND WITH INNOVATIVE PROGRAMMING LIKE THE NORTH STAR FESTIVAL, FOR WHICH THE TSO RECEIVED ITS FIRST GRANT FROM THE NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE ARTS IN YEARS. WE EXPLORED EIGHT OF MOZART'S FAVORITE PIANO CONCERTOS IN THE FESTIVAL OF 88. WE ALSO LOOKED TO THE FUTURE BY PRESENTING THE WORLD PREMIERES OF TWO CONCERTOS: LOWELL LIEBERMANN'S CELLO CONCERTO AND ALICE GOMEZ'S LATIN JAZZ SUITE FOR TRUMPET AND ORCHESTRA. THESE WORKS SYMBOLIZED A RENEWED COMMITMENT TO COMMISSIONING NEW WORKS FOR THE ORCHESTRAL REPERTOIRE. WE LAUNCHED TOLEDO SYMPHONYLAB, A WEEKLY RADIO PROGRAM AND PODCAST. THIS NEW PARTNERSHIP WITH WGTE PUBLIC MEDIA PROVIDES A LIGHTHEARTED VIEW INTO THE TOLEDO SYMPHONY, INCLUDING INTERVIEWS WITH MUSICIANS, COMPOSER PROFILES, AND CONCERT HIGHLIGHTS. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT TOOL FOR SPEAKING DIRECTLY WITH OUR AUDIENCE AND CARRYING ON A DIALOGUE ABOUT THAT WHICH WE HOLD DEAR. WE WELCOMED BROADWAY ROYALTY AUDRA MCDONALD AND LESLIE ODOM, JR. WE ENJOYED AN INTIMATE EVENING WITH THE LEGENDARY SOPRANO KATHLEEN BATTLE, SWAYED TO SOME OF DUKE ELLINGTON'S CLASSICAL COMPOSITIONS, AND LOADED UP THE PERISTYLE WITH A SPACE-TACULAR PAIRING OF THE PLANETS AND ALSO SPRACH ZARATHUSTRA. WE PREVIEWED ALAIN TRUDEL'S ARTISTIC LEADERSHIP AND BID ADIEU TO OUR BELOVED RESIDENT CONDUCTOR, SARA JOBIN. WE SAW STRONG GROWTH IN EDUCATION. OUR THREE TOLEDO SYMPHONY YOUTH ORCHESTRAS RECEIVED A RECORD NUMBER OF APPLICATIONS FOR A LIMITED NUMBER OF SPACES. WE INAUGURATED THE TOLEDO SYMPHONY YOUTH QUARTET, COMPRISED OF TALENTED STRING MUSICIANS FROM THE YOUTH ORCHESTRAS. WE KICKED-OFF A SERIES OF SUMMER CLASSES THROUGH THE TOLEDO SYMPHONY SCHOOL OF MUSIC, WELCOMING STUDENTS FROM 3 TO 83 IN SEVERAL AREAS OF STUDY. WE ALSO INTRODUCED THE POPULAR TSO COLLEGE PASS, WHICH GAVE AREA COLLEGE STUDENTS ADMISSION TO TSO CONCERTS FOR A LOW, FLAT FEE. THE ORCHESTRA RECEIVED WONDERFUL SUPPORT FROM THE COMMUNITY IN THE 2017-2018 SEASON, AS CONTRIBUTED INCOME GREW 14%. ON GIVING TUESDAY, WE RECORDED ONE OF OUR LARGEST GIFTS EVER, WHEN AN ANONYMOUS DONOR PLEDGED $1 MILLION TO THE ORCHESTRA. WE INITIATED A NEW PARTNERSHIP WITH BUCKEYE BROADBAND, WHICH ALLOWED US TO ROLLOUT OUR POPULAR TSO IN HD TECHNOLOGY AT ALL PERISTYLE PERFORMANCES. WE WELCOMED PROMEDICA AS THE FIRST-EVER CLASSICS SERIES TITLE SPONSOR, MARKING THE FIRST TIME THAT ALL TSO SERIES RECEIVE CORPORATE UNDERWRITING. WE ALSO BEGAN A SPECIAL MARKETING PARTNERSHIP WITH TOLEDO BALLET AND HELPED THEM ACHIEVE ONE OF THEIR STRONGEST NUTCRACKER SEASONS IN HISTORY. IT WAS A BUSY YEAR AT THE TOLEDO SYMPHONY, BUT ONE FULL OF STRATEGIC VISION, STRONG PROGRAMMING, AND INCREDIBLE TALENT. TOGETHER, WE ARE SPREADING THE JOY OF MUSIC ACROSS OUR BEAUTIFUL REGION AND MAKING STRONG ARTISTIC CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE COMMUNITIES THAT WE SERVE. I THANK YOU FOR BEING A PART OF IT.
