Dear Friends:We are proud to present our 2006-2007 Carolina Performing Arts Season.The season builds upon our thrilling grand opening season at Memorial Hall.

Highlights include:

• A rare North Carolina appearance by The Cleveland Orchestra, one of the world’s greatest orchestras

• A profound and moving theater piece by renowned director Ratan Thiyam and the Chorus Repertory Theatre, whom I visited in Imphal, India

• A focus on great pianists featuring Radu Lupu, André Watts, and Peter Serkin in honor of our new Hamburg Steinway D, donated by the Kenan Charitable Trust

• The US premiere of Drought and Rain, Vol. 2 by French Vietnamese choreographer Ea Sola

• A year-long residency by performance poet Sekou Sundiata in conjunction with the Sonja Haynes Stone Center for Black Culture and History

A great diversity of programming is important, as is the idea of bringing newwork to Chapel Hill. Not only does this serve our audience, it also ensuresour programming is at the heart of our university’s objectives in teaching,research, and service. Many of the season’s artists will participate in on-campus activities with workshops, master classes, and lectures.

The transformation of Memorial Hall is a tremendous achievement and areflection of the transformation of the arts at Carolina. We are happy tohave received many positive comments from artists and audiences alikeregarding our splendid facility.

We are extremely fortunate that the William R. Kenan, Jr. Charitable Trusthas seen the value of how we enrich the lives of our university and communitywhile raising the national and international profile of our university. Theyhave made a generous $5 million gift to kick off the creation of a $10 millionendowment, a fund that will ensure our high level of programming will besustained for generations to come. This gift is a dollar-for-dollar challengethat we must match by December 31, 2007. Every donation counts — we hopewe can count on you to help us reach our goal. For more information, pleasecontact Priscilla Bratcher at 919-843-3307.

welcome…Dear Arts Lovers:Welcome to the 2006-07 Carolina Performing Arts season, and what anexciting season it promises to be!

We re-opened Memorial Hall last year with an inaugural season that wasinnovative and far-reaching. Our university community has been enrichedby outstanding artists from around the world on the stage and in ourclassrooms. These artists have enhanced the learning environment for ourstudents and enriched all our lives with performances that delighted,challenged, and thrilled.

The arts are a core strength and central to Carolina’s academic distinctionand identity. Being a great university includes having strong programs in thearts and humanities. The Carolina Performing Arts Series is engaged andlinked to the critical issues of society and promotes dialogue throughexperiences in the arts. These activities provide a vital connection for us alland enliven the intellectual climate.

The upcoming season is a dizzying array of music, theater, dance and multi-media performances featuring artists from around the world. I am especiallyexcited about The Cleveland Orchestra, the three outstanding pianists onthe series who will be playing one of our two great Steinways, and Alvin AileyAmerican Dance Theater. Their classic work Revelations is one I have seenmany times, and I never tire of it.

We are fortunate to have the enthusiastic support of our Carolina PerformingArts National Advisory Board, ably led by Jim Heavner and Barb Lee. TheBoard is working hard to meet the $5 million challenge from the William R.Kenan, Jr. Charitable Trust, and I hope you will support their efforts.

I look forward to seeing you next season at Memorial Hall.

Ars longa vita brevis.

The first season in the transformed Memorial Hall broughtnew audiences and created new enthusiasts for CarolinaPerforming Arts. Ticket sales have been brisk but, as withany performing arts organization, ticket income covers onlya small percentage of the cost of presenting performances.In the case of Carolina Performing Arts, ticket sales coveronly 45% of the cost of performances. In other words, forevery ticket you buy, someone else is paying 55% of thecost. In launching Carolina Performing Arts, the Universityhas generously supported the program’s operating deficit.Although the University will continue to fund facilities,salaries and overhead, financial self-sufficiency for per-formances is an immediate goal.

The $5 Million ChallengeWith a $5 million challenge grant from the William R.Kenan Charitable Trust, Carolina Performing Arts hasundertaken a campaign to match it dollar for dollar byDecember 31, 2007 to create a permanent endowment. As of spring 2006, gifts totaling $1 million have been generously given, but time is passing and we urgently needto secure the remaining $4 million in order to earn our Kenan match.

Carolina Performing Arts Society

When complete, the endowment will provide $500,000annually to the Carolina Performing Arts Series. Alongwith an annual grant from student fees to offset ourtremendously successful $10 student ticket program, theendowment will fill the gap between costs and ticket incomeand support the current level of programming.

Naming OpportunitiesAs with the Memorial Hall campaign, naming opportunitiesare available. Seats in the Beasley-Curtis Auditorium atMemorial Hall can be named for $5,000 each. While over500 seats have already been named, nearly 900 unnamed seatsremain. There are also several opportunities to name spaces inthe Hall. In addition, donors may wish to create permanentperformance funds to support future artists at Carolina.
