Chairman’s and President’s Message DECEMBER 2017 Dear Pacific Symphony Supporters:

John E. Forsyte

Joann Leatherby

As we look back on the incredible 2016-17 season, we warmly remember the many outstanding concerts we heard together, the educational outreach we achieved in local schools, the engagement we attained with our local residents and the sustaining philanthropy we received from our board and donors who support everything we do. We are pleased to share an overview of Pacific Symphony’s fiscal year 2016-17 through this report, providing artistic highlights, program results, financial summaries and the successful outcomes of our work in building new audiences and reaching our fundraising goals. Pacific Symphony thanks you, our dedicated donors, subscribers and volunteers, who are responsible for these achievements during the year. At the top of last year’s important accomplishments is the ratification of a new collective bargaining agreement with our union musicians. This landmark agreement includes new service guarantees for our musicians, and wage increases totaling 10.4% over the next five years, providing for meaningful growth in performance opportunities. Also notable was our move to new administrative headquarters in Irvine, which was made possible through the generosity of Board Member Charlie Zhang. Charlie not only personally oversaw the renovation of our building, but micromanaged the smallest details to ensure the comfort, safety and security of our staff and board. He encouraged a dedicated New Building Campaign which offered office-naming opportunities for select donors, and raised over $500,000 with the leadership of campaign chairs David Collins and Seth Seigel.

Through our ongoing work to form resilient community and regional partnerships, the Symphony has increased the depth and breadth of the programs it offers to the Orange County community. This includes our Sunday matinee series at SOKA Performing Arts Center, our enduring partnership with Chapman University and Musco Center for the Arts, the 20 nonprofits which help to deliver our Heartstrings community services and the comprehensive music education in 32 Class Act partner schools, a program which served over 15,600 K-8 schoolchildren. Our beloved music director, Carl St.Clair, is also dedicated to establishing lasting relationships with talented artists, musicians and artistic leaders, and forming bonds with composers and academic scholars who help to advance Pacific Symphony’s legacy. Now as we look back on the past year, we find Pacific Symphony one year richer in experience, and one year wiser in planning for its future. Adding to the fire which fuels our inspiration is the ongoing generosity, dedication and undying commitment of you — our patrons ­— who spark and ignite the organization’s flames. As we continue to maintain a balanced budget, while developing and implementing new innovative programs and engagement activities, Pacific Symphony’s yearly accomplishments simply would not be possible without your support. We are eternally grateful to our Board of Directors, Board of Counselors, corps of volunteers and all the many support organizations and donors who focus their time and talent on the success of Pacific Symphony. Thank you again for all that you do.

John E. Forsyte Joann Leatherby President and Chief Executive Officer Board Chair

Dazzling Guest Artists

DECEMBER 2017 Dear Friends: As I look back on the 2016-17 season with great joy and pride, I am reminded that your faithful and continuing support of Pacific Symphony makes our success possible. This past year, we shared many wonderful memories together, both onstage and off, through concerts that showcased the brilliant talents of the members of our orchestra and guest musicians. We set a new box office record for our opera engagement in February, surpassing last year’s record-breaking total. “Aida” has earned its place now as the top-selling concert engagement in Pacific Symphony history! The three unforgettable performances were truly extraordinary, with a unique staging that included full costumes, desert sand and pyramids, drama, action and extraordinary vocal performances by our guest artists and the Pacific Chorale. Who can forget the beauty and radiance of Kelebogile Besong as Aida, the heroic Arnold Rawls as Radames, the remarkable Milena Kitic as Amneris, the valiant Mark Delavan as Amonasro and the innovative Stage Director/Designer Mary Birnbaum? Of course, we also fondly recall the beginning of the 2017-18 season, which began with a spectacular appearance by the incomparable Renée Fleming, Metropolitan Opera star and American treasure. The season also celebrated the 10th anniversary of the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall. We had many additional illustrious artists perform with us this year, including pianists Joaquin Achúcarro, Jeremy Denk, Olga Kern, Louis Lortie, Orli Shaham, Haochen Zhang and Zhang Zuo, to name a few (the full list of guest artists appears on the next page). In addition, we had two world premieres this season by Conrad Tao and Composer-in-Residence Narong Prangcharoen. Certainly one of the highlights was featuring works by living composers, such as Frank Ticheli, John Adams (in honor of his 70th birthday) and Peter Boyer’s “Ellis Island: The Dream of America,” which was filmed for a PBS “Great Performances” broadcast in 2018. This work, more than any other, seemed to evoke a great emotional response from our audiences, bringing back past memories and deep feelings. From its stirring visual images and photos from the Ellis Island Archives, to its soaring and inspirational music, “Ellis Island” was one of the most memorable works presented by the Symphony. But perhaps our most profound and moving concert engagement was the season finale of Mahler’s Symphony No. 2, “Resurrection.” This monumental work was part of the retirement celebration honoring Pacific Chorale’s John Alexander, our dear friend and the Chorale’s artistic director for 45 years. Mahler’s masterpiece requires skill and expertise, which our musicians mastered in admirable fashion, and they filled the hall with the wonderment and elation of the ethereal and spiritual work. It was a true joy to perform, and gratifying to see our audiences’ heartfelt reaction and appreciation. As John and Joann have already mentioned, we are thankful for the new collective bargaining agreement we have ratified with our respected and valued union musicians. We are eternally grateful to the strong, outstanding and admirable artists that comprise our Pacific Symphony. They are the creators and source of the marvelous sounds that are generated in our hall. On behalf of all of us at Pacific Symphony, we express our sincere thanks for your dedication to symphonic music, and for your loyal support that keeps music alive and accessible in Orange County.

In Our Audience’s Words “Outstanding performance — a blend of classical music, Broadway songs and patriotic numbers. If you have a chance to catch Pacific Symphony in your local park, do not miss it. They were very well received by the audience. A great event.” — Symphony in the Cities Patron “So completely drawn into the totality of it all. I wanted to jump up and run down in the front of the stage to gaze closely on the orchestra and everyone. Thank you for the contributions in time and talent to our lucky community.” — Mahler’s “Resurrection” Patron “‘Ellis Island’ brought me to tears! It evoked memories of my own experiences as an immigrant war refugee in 1949 crossing the Atlantic Ocean on a steamship for two weeks along with hundreds of other refugees seeking a better future flooded back into my head and heart.” — “Ellis Island” Patron “Very high quality of the performance on all levels. I felt immersed and transported to a different place and time, and felt a visceral connection to the characters and the experiences they were going through as related in the beautiful, powerful music. This performance captured me like none other. Thank you.” — “Aida” Patron “Singing along with everyone, including the soloists and the chorale, at the end of the concert, the ‘Hallelujah Chorus,‘ was an absolute joy and thrill. The whole concert was fantastic and a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Thank you!” — Handel’s “Messiah” Patron
