A Message from Eileen and Deane Dear friends, he 2017/18 season was one of the most successful and meaningful in our history and we could not have done it without you. The patrons, donors, partners, and of course all the artists who shared these incredible memories have each made invaluable contributions towards that success. As you will read in these pages, it is a time of remarkable growth and renewal for our independent, charitable non-profit organization and we hope you share our sense of pride for the accomplishments of the past year.

Whether it’s the ambitious, yet much needed expansion of our education & outreach programs, the exciting advancements in our artist development initiatives, marking important milestones at Roy Thomson Hall, or the gamechanging Massey Hall Revitalization and the overwhelming early response from donors bringing us within reach of our $142M fundraising goal, we are building towards something very special. We are evolving into a music company that works with artists at every stage of their careers, welcomes audiences reflecting the incredibly rich

diversity found in our community, and actively invests in our future to ensure we are ready for tomorrow’s challenges and opportunities. To get there it will take an entire community of people who understand how music can change lives, strengthen our economy, and make our city a far better place to live. We couldn't be more grateful that you are one of those people and that you are reading about the year we've enjoyed. We hope you share our excitement for the future, and we can’t wait to get there together.

t was a year of reflection and celebration at Roy Thomson Hall. Our season started with the Toronto International Film Festival’s inimitable mix of artistry and glamour, but it was the premiere of Long Time Running, a documentary chronicling the Tragically Hip’s 2016 Canadian tour (their last with beloved frontman Gord Downie) that hit closest to home and reminded us of the emotional power of film. Classical music demonstrated its continued vitality as Itzhak Perlman and Evgeny Kissin performed sold out recitals, even accommodating stage seating to satisfy the demand for their craft.

We marked notable anniversaries – the 30th year of hosting the Law Society of Ontario’s Call To The Bar while the Conference of Independent Schools Music Festival celebrated their 25th edition at the corner of King and Simcoe Streets. And in June, Peter Oundjian completed a remarkable 14-year tenure as Music Director for the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, the second longest in the ensemble’s history. Peter’s genuine affection for Toronto, his warmth, generosity, and his artistic vision have endeared him to audiences, artists, and all of us at Roy Thomson Hall. We are and will always be grateful to Peter for the wonderful musical memories.

124 years of Massey Hall celebrated by artists and audiences with a memorable concert, following the Mayoral Proclamation of June 14, 2018 as Massey Hall Day.
he 2017/18 season at Massey Hall took on added significance knowing that the lights would soon go dark in order to complete the Massey Hall Revitalization project. Artists and audiences flocked from near and far to add their stories to this chapter of Canada’s most celebrated concert hall. Canadians at the top of their game made it a point to leave their mark – July Talk and the Arkells each took over the hall for triumphant multiple night stands. International superstars including Harry Styles from One Direction chose Massey Hall over larger venues for their Toronto visits. On June 14, a concert to celebrate Massey Hall’s 124th

The Year at Massey Hall birthday featured musical direction from our dear friends Whitehorse who were joined by special guests Leah & Peter of July Talk, Joel Plaskett, Sarah Harmer, Sam Roberts, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Whitehorse and Jim Cuddy for an epic night of music that was captured as part of our Live at Massey Hall concert and film series. And of course, there was only one choice for the last artist to grace the stage before closing the hall, and that was Gordon Lightfoot. His Canada Day concert capped a three night stand, and was his 169th performance in the hallowed hall. We couldn’t have imagined a more fitting way to make memories to last until reopening.

Massey Hall's legacy stretches far beyond its folk heroes – the Gords (Downie and Lightfoot), Uncle Neil, Joni and Lenny. It's got grace and grandeur and a sense of occasion, but it was also built for the people, and its identity has come from the people who've filled it over the years. - NOW Magazine, June 15, 2018

n June, we launched the Massey Hall Forever fundraising campaign after sharing the final design details of the project with the public for the first time. Throughout the year, renderings of the new and rejuvenated spaces inside the expanded facility were showcased, revealing a musical hub of creativity featuring three performance venues, fully modernized production infrastructure, enhanced patron accessibility and amenities, turn-key digital content capture, exhibit space to celebrate our musical heritage, and dedicated resources for education and artist development. This vision for a contemporary music centre (the first of its kind in Canada) has been met with overwhelmingly positive feedback and inspired a

growing number of community leaders to volunteer their time and energy to help the campaign by sharing their passion, connections, and financial support, bringing us closer to our $142M goal. Confidence in the project was exemplified by significant leadership gifts from prominent philanthropists and community builders including the Slaight Family Foundation, W. Garfield Weston Foundation, the Edwards Charitable Foundation, and the McLean Foundation to name a few. In many cases, donors’ personal passions are reflected in their support of the project as is the case with
Stephen Smith and Diane Blake’s commitment to the Massey Hall archives and aforementioned musical heritage exhibit space inside the rejuvenated facility. As we continue to move closer to achieving our goals and ultimately reopening Massey Hall, we are both grateful to those who have shown early leadership and buoyed by the interest generated by this campaign. Massey Hall Forever is more than just a slogan for us, after more than a century it is our opportunity to ensure one of the nation’s most treasured cultural icons will continue to be enjoyed by future generations.

Massey Hall Revitalization Even while artists continued to take the stage, the Massey Hall Revitalization project was in full swing behind the scenes.
Nearly 100 stained glass windows will be carefully restored or recreated as part of the Massey Hall Revitalization. Pictured: stained glass windows being carefully removed for transportation and restoration.

Massey Hall Revitalization esign work led by internationally acclaimed architect Marianne McKenna of KPMB Architects was largely completed and focus shifted to the physical work that could take place in advance of the planned temporary closure of the hall. Extensive work was completed on the south tower basement as artist dressing rooms and other important spaces began to take shape. Nearly 100 original stained glass windows were carefully removed and transported to the facility where each will undergo a painstaking restoration (we’re thrilled to report that the first completed windows to emerge from the process are absolutely stunning).

But none of this compares to the magnitude of what began just hours following Gordon Lightfoot’s concert on Canada Day. Once the venue had closed, critical components and heritage elements were either protected or removed from the hall during the decommissioning process, and shortly thereafter the site was handed over to Ellis Don, our construction team who are overseeing the renovation and construction work set to unfold over the two year closure, and by the end of the fiscal year a significant amount of progress had already been made.

Stephen Otto t’s a surprise to no one who knew him that legendary Ontario historian and civic activist Stephen Otto was a supporter of the Massey Hall Forever Campaign. A steadfast champion of Toronto’s history right up until his death in April 2018 at the age of 78, he believed that the best cities are forward-looking, finding innovative ways to grow, while still respecting the people and places that got them there.
I
“Steve was very cognizant of the need for the world to move on, but not to lose where it came from in the process,” acknowledges Toronto architect Catherine Nasmith, who partnered with Otto on a number of heritage rehabilitation projects, including Friends of Fort York, which they co-founded. Stephen had a lifelong love of the intricate balance between past and present, old and new, and of projects that bring people together toward a common goal — things he learned while studying business and history at the University of Toronto, Harvard and the University of Cambridge, and as the founding head of heritage programs for the province of Ontario. The Massey Hall restoration project ticked all those boxes; in fact, Nasmith calls the project 14
“quintessential Stephen”: it’s a marriage between the latest architectural principles in concert hall design, acoustics and accessibility, and the 125-year-old building’s original stained glass windows, refurbished wood and wrought iron seating, and plaster ceilings. So strong was Otto’s belief in the project that he made a generous donation to the Massey Hall Forever Campaign shortly before his death. One of the restored stained-glass windows on the west side of the main auditorium will be named in his honour. Nasmith, for one, wouldn’t be surprised to learn that his support of Massey Hall proves a rallying cry to others who share his love of Toronto and Toronto history. “Steve understood people. It gave him this ability to make things happen, to move people, even when they didn’t know they were being moved. He put his own resources forward as a way of saying, ‘I’m doing this. I hope you’ll come along with me.’” When the doors reopen in 2020, we can add the revitalized Massey Hall to Stephen Otto’s many great legacies.

“It was the early 70s and the City of Toronto, where my father was an accountant, had its kids’ Christmas party at Massey Hall. They’d call your name and you’d march onto the stage and get your present from Santa,” laughs the Managing Director at TD Securities in Toronto. “I remember thinking it was the coolest place.” Fast-forward 15 years and Doug, then a student at the University of Toronto, started spending much of his free time hanging out downtown with friends. “I started working downtown at a few places and was able to get tickets to Massey Hall shows. I went to a lot of concerts.” He counts performances by Neil Young, Van Morrison and Lenny Kravitz among his greatest memories over the years. There was also a particularly over-the-top night featuring The Chieftains, Jim Cuddy and Greg Keelor, who joined the Irish band on the Massey Hall stage for a couple of songs. After the show, Doug and Jim shared a Guiness in Centuries.
“There’s just something about this place. It makes things happen,” he says. And now Doug is returning the favour. Already a volunteer champion of Massey Hall’s Share the Music, an education and outreach program cosupported by TD Securities, he agreed to serve on the Massey Hall Forever Campaign Cabinet, helping to raise $142 million for the venue’s revitalization. His first order of business is getting his own commitment squared away. Doug, his wife Karen and their daughters have made a generous gift that will be recognized in the restored Art Deco-style lobby. Doug is now turning to his personal and professional network to invite investments from those who share his love of music, Massey Hall and the City of Toronto. “We don’t have a lot of places left in the city that are literal shrines to a past era,” Doug explains. “Massey Hall is our history and its renovation is going to bring the buzz back to the heart of Toronto. This is such an amazing place and a very worthy cause. I’m humbled to be a part of it.”

COLLABORATIONS
Building on the successful track record of our longstanding program Share The Music which connects thousands of students to music through insightful workshops and captivating performances by world-class artists, we expanded with initiatives designed to inspire and engage our community through creativity, collaboration, and curiosity. New mothers were paired with accomplished songwriters to craft and record bespoke lullabies for their babies. New Canadians used music to hone their language skills while building friendships for life as participants in LETS (Learning English Through Song). High School students in the Specialist High Skills Major program were hands-on behind the scenes at our halls, receiving an exclusive and illuminating look at career opportunities in arts and entertainment. Other high school students experienced the joy of giving back to their communities and the reward of developing skills, building community, and learning from arts professionals in our Call & Response volunteer program. And we were delighted to build partnerships with many of the gifted musicians from our Artist Development program to bring their art directly into schools, empowering and inspiring the next generation of music fans.
Call & Response helped youth explore careers and gain
new skills through arts-based workshops & volunteer experiences, resulting in 284 cumulative hours of training 17 and volunteering.
1,170 listeners engaged with lullabies written and performed by new and expectant mothers paired with professional songwriters in THE LULLABY PROJECT.
2,300 students participated in Share the Music in its 19th year.
6,000 attendees enjoyed four free CHOIR & ORGAN concerts.
