Dear Friends,

We are pleased to share this 2015-2016 Annual Report which highlights our achievements of the past season and provides an overview of the range of activities that the Phil brings to our community.

Our 100th season was a milestone and a tribute to a century of fine

musical leadership and to the musicians who have dedicated their talents to the Phil. The season was a true celebration of a century of our history of bringing live symphonic music to an ever-expanding audience of all ages. It was a year filled with dynamic concerts, engaging community activities and memorable moments for our audiences.

The orchestra’s founders in 1913 would be proud of the achievements of this centennial season. These include the opening concert, Hooray for One Hundred! featuring pianist Marina Lomazov, the November concert showcasing four of our principal musicians, and the popular Holiday Pops, a three-performance series which brought together families as they enjoyed a short animated holiday film The Snowman set to live symphonic music.

Our community engagement programs continued to enrich the lives of residents of all ages. Music Director Steven Karidoyanes offered a variety of free lecture programs, residents were able to attend a “Meet the Composer” event, and the Phil hosted the winner of the South Shore Conservatory Youth Concerto competition at Regions of Wonder in April. The season ended with a sold-out Pops concert Fly Me to the Moon: A Sinatra Celebration with two special guests, vocalist John Stevens and renowned radio host Ron Della Chiesa.

A particularly thrilling achievement was performing the world premiere of Dreamtime Ancestors by American composer Christopher Theofanidis. The piece was commissioned by the New Music for America consortium and performed by the Phil at our opening concert in Memorial Hall.

On behalf of the entire Phil family, we thank you for your support, and encourage you to review all that we have accomplished together over the past season.

Elizabeth PineaultChair, Board of Directors

Message from the Board Chair

2015/16 Annual Report | 1

Dear Friends,

Thank you for your unwavering support of the Plymouth Philharmonic Orchestra during our 100th season. Individuals like you make it possible for the Phil to continue as a major cultural and economic asset in our community.

As we finish a very strong year, I am reminded of the power of the shared experience. Whether it is a breathtaking Memorial Hall concert, the intimacy of an engaged group of children listening to a small chamber group for an educational program, or thousands of people gathering for a free waterfront concert on Independence Day, the time we spend together is inspiring.

I invite you to peruse our annual report. You will learn more about our financial stability, our loyal and generous donors, our artistic partners and our hundreds of volunteers who give countless hours of time and talents – all of which allows us to serve the community through artistically excellent performance and education.

While we continue our pursuit of artistic excellence and inspirational educational initiatives, I am delighted to report that the Phil completed its 100th season with an operating surplus. This financial success will allow us to continue to invest in outstanding programming, while planning for a financially stable future. This is only possible because of our generous donors, volunteers, sponsors, and ticket buyers who recognize that a vibrant arts community makes for a strong economic community.

I would be remiss not to thank our wonderfully talented music director and conductor Steven Karidoyanes for his immense contribution to the organization. I also want to thank the Board of Directors and the staff. We have a wonderful team that works hard to support our musicians, and to achieve our mission. Lastly, and most importantly, I want to thank the musicians of the Phil, who have dedicated their lives to this amazing art form that enriches all of our lives.

The Phil exists to serve this community, and we wouldn’t be here without your generous support.

It has been my honor to work with you over the past year, and I look forward to our future together.

The Plymouth Philharmonic Orchestra

2 | 2015/16 Annual Report

MISSIONThe Plymouth Philharmonic Orchestra, a professional orchestral ensemble, presents a wide range of live music and educational programs to people of all ages and backgrounds on the South Shore of Massachusetts.

VISIONThe Plymouth Philharmonic Orchestra aspires to be the recognized leader of the performing arts on the South Shore.

CORE VALUESThe Plymouth Philharmonic Orchestra is committed to the following core values:

• Artistic Excellence – maintaining an unwavering commitment to performing at the highest standards

• Community – serving as a cultural resource and bringing people together to share in the enjoyment of live musical entertainment

• Expansive Repertoire – ranging from classical to popular to family concerts

• Music Education – presenting programs that nurture a life-long appreciation of music

• Sustainability – ensuring the long-term financial stability of the orchestra

OUR HISTORY

Now in its 101st season, the Plymouth Philharmonic Orchestra played its first concert on December 28, 1913, under the organization and imagination of G. Herbert Clarke, a Kingston violin teacher with a passion for music and a vision of shared musical fellowship with the community.

Today’s orchestra comprises all professionally trained musicians who come from diverse academic backgrounds, a variety of countries, and who bring a world-class level of precision, skill and dedication.

With the exception of two years during World War II, the orchestra has been in continuous operation since 1913. In 1973 the orchestra became a chartered, non-profit corporation and experienced a period of significant growth in both programming and support.

Under the guidance of Music Director and Conductor Steven Karidoyanes, the Plymouth Philharmonic Orchestra has taken its place as a major cultural force in southeastern New England. Today, the Phil plays to critical acclaim, premieres pieces from leading composers, performs with world-renowned soloists, and has performed in venues across the region.

Beyond the concert season, the Phil presents a wide range of live music and educational programs to people of all ages and backgrounds. Working with educators, leaders and community partners, the Phil reaches well beyond Plymouth, serving as innovator and advocate for music for all.

Since his appointment in 1994, Steven Karidoyanes continues to raise the orchestra to new levels of distinction with a commitment to artistic excellence, music education, and community outreach.

Steven KaridoyanesMusic Director & Conductor

2015/16 Annual Report | 3

As a conductor, composer and broadcaster, Boston native Steven Karidoyanes brings a wealth of musical experiences to the podium.

This is Mr. Karidoyanes’ 22nd season as Conductor and Music Director of the Plymouth Philharmonic Orchestra. Continually praised for the level of distinction to which he brings his ensembles, one reviewer said of the Beethoven Missa Solemnis performance he conducted, “Karidoyanes and his forces navigated it with absolute confidence, allowing the composer’s unruly spirit to speak clearly through them.” (Boston Globe, November 7, 2011.) This is also his 12th season conducting the New England Conservatory Youth Symphony, leading concerts in Boston’s most prestigious concert venues and in past concert tours of Italy, Greece, Costa Rica, Eastern Europe and Ireland, and his tenth

season leading Masterworks Chorale, conducting choral/orchestral masterworks in Harvard University’s Sanders Theatre. He has served the Boston Pops as an understudy conductor for select rehearsals and performances since 2008.

In August 2013 he returned to Prague for his second engagement leading the North Czech Philharmonic in concert. Other past international guest conducting engagements include Hungary’s Savaria Symphony Orchestra in Hainburg, Austria, the Prague (CZ) Symphony Chamber Orchestra, and Costa Rica’s National Music Institute Youth Symphony. He conducts a series of concerts with the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra in January 2016. Mr. Karidoyanes has also guest conducted the Syracuse Symphony, Rochester Philharmonic, and orchestras in the Washington, D.C. region. Opera productions conducted include Cape Cod Opera’s Carmen, The Mikado by the Bostonian Opera & Concert Ensemble [a.k.a. “The Bostonians”] and Opera-by-the-Bay’s (MA) Die Fledermaus.

He has held the posts of Music Director of the Boston College Symphony Orchestra, Associate Conductor of the Winston-Salem Symphony and Greensboro Symphony orchestras in North Carolina, and Assistant Conductor of the Rhode Island Philharmonic. Mr. Karidoyanes has served on the faculty of the Boston University Tanglewood Institute for ten seasons, and on the conducting faculty of the New England Conservatory.

Complementing his performing activities, Mr. Karidoyanes is a composer and member of ASCAP. His composition, Yerakína: Dionysian Dance for Orchestra, was written for and premiered by the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, and has already been performed by the Boston Pops. His Café Neon: Fantasy on Greek Songs and Dances has been performed over thirty times by over a dozen orchestras coast to coast plus Italy, Greece and Australia. A classical music announcer/producer, Mr. Karidoyanes has worked for National Public Radio affiliates in Boston, North Carolina and Indiana.

Steven Karidoyanes holds a Bachelor of Music Degree from Boston University and received training in orchestral conducting at the Canford School of Music in Dorset, England, where he studied with the renowned British conducting coach, the late George Hurst. Additional orchestral studies earned him the Outstanding Graduate Student Award for two consecutive years from Ball State University in Indiana.

Mr. Karidoyanes lives in Boston with his wife, Amy. They have two sons, Michael and Nicholas.

Be Inspired. Be Engaged. Be Entertained!Inspiring and Educating the Community Through Music

The Plymouth Philharmonic Orchestra is deeply committed to music education and community outreach. Over the years the Phil has developed a variety of educational and community programs aimed at encouraging a lifelong love of music for people of all ages.

In-School Music Education Programs

Take 5 for Music engages students with 5 minutes of classical music, 5 days a week for 5 years. It is a simple, yet highly effective listening program that introduces young students to music. The program presents one composer and one composition each week. Each morning an all-school announcement is made before the music is played. These “scripts” introduce the composer, emphasize key concepts and summarize the music. The composition is played daily. The benefits of this program help students learn music in an easy familiar way.

Look, Listen, Learn An extension of Take 5, this program brings the excitement of live music into the classroom. Small ensembles from the Phil (including a string quartet, brass quintet, woodwind quintet and a percussion duo) offer interactive mini-educational concerts and instrument demonstrations to area schools.

Philharmonic Field Trip The Phil performs hour-long, student friendly performances in Memorial Hall. Schools are invited to come and learn about the orchestra, hear a concert and learn the beauty of symphonic music.

Music Immersion Program is a comprehensive program offered in the Plymouth Public Schools to immerse students in the world of music. By combining Look, Listen and Learn; and the Philharmonic Field Trip students gain a complete understanding and appreciation of music both in-school and by attending a live performance by the full orchestra at Memorial Hall. The program brings in all four ensembles to every school in Plymouth for grades 3, 4 & 5 throughout the school year. In spring the program culminates with the Plymouth Philharmonic Orchestra performing a concert in Memorial Hall for every student grades 3, 4 & 5 for the entire school system. This concert is also open to other schools in Plymouth County as a field trip.

Youth Concerto Winner

Each year, the Phil offers one extraordinarily talented young musician an opportunity to perform with the full orchestra. The March family concert Rising Starts Showcase featured the winner of the South Shore Conservatory Youth Concerto Competition, fifteen year-old Karen Ji of Hingham, Massachusetts. Ms. Ji was featured as the concert’s guest soloist in music from Robert Schumann’s Piano Concerto in A Minor.

Ms. Ji was the Grand Prize winner of the 28th Annual Concerto Competition at South Shore Conservatory where she studies with Hui Min Wang. In December 2015 Ms. Ji performed at Carnegie Hall in New York City along with others who placed first in the Talented Young Musician Association’s 12th annual Russian Music Competition held in Boston in early November.

The Phil is deeply committed to music education and involving young musicians in its programming, and is honored to work in partnership with the South Shore Conservatory to make this annual collaboration possible.

2015/16 Annual Report | 5

Partnerships and Music Education for Our Community

Performance at the Plymouth Waterfront for the 4th of July Every other year the Plymouth Philharmonic Orchestra presents a free, outdoor concert on the Plymouth waterfront as part of the 4th of July activities. The town’s Star Spangled Celebration attracts thousands of people of all ages and from many surrounding communities. The future goal is to make the Fourth of July with the Phil an annual event.

Community Concerts Every year the Phil presents free-to-the-public concerts that are accessible to all. The concerts include the Summer Music Series at the Hanover YMCA and the 4th of July waterfront performances.

Family Concert The Phil’s annual Family Concert is a family-friendly concert for people of all ages. Showcasing light classical music, this hour-long concert features lively symphonic works that are accessible to novice ears and yet still pleasing to experienced orchestra concertgoers. Preceding each concert is a hands-on instrument demonstration by Phil musicians. Tickets prices are kept low to ensure that these performances are affordable and accessible to families.

Youth Concerto Winner’s Performance In partnership with the South Shore Conservatory, the Phil annually hosts the winner of the SSC’s Concerto Competition winner as a featured soloist. The winning soloist performs with orchestra at the Family Concert in Memorial Hall for over 1,000 concertgoers.

Bay Youth Symphony (BaYS) Bay Youth Symphony (BaYS) is an auditioned, sequential youth orchestra program at the South Shore Conservatory. In collaboration with the Plymouth Philharmonic, the senior members of BaYS orchestra play alongside Phil musicians during a Plymouth Philharmonic performance. The Phil’s Music Director, Steven Karidoyanes, also serves as the BaYS Artistic Advisor throughout the year.

Plymouth Children’s Chorus Plymouth Children’s Chorus engages 125 4th and 5th grade students from the Plymouth Public Schools. In cooperation with school music teachers, it includes eight weeks of rehearsals and a performance of this select chorus with the Phil the annual Family Concert.

High School Choral Consortium High School Choral Consortium is a collaborative choral program in partnership with the following South Shore High Schools:

Marshfield High School Silver Lake Regional High School Pembroke High School Scituate High School Plymouth North High School

The choirs at each school work together to prepare and perform in a concert with the Phil. Each group (270 students in total) practices with their own choral directors for the fall semester. In January, they rehearse as a combined group for eight weeks. They then rehearse with the full orchestra, to prepare for their performance with the Plymouth Philharmonic Orchestra. The High School Choral Consortium performs at the Phil’s Family Concert every other year, alternating with the Bay Youth Symphony.

6 | 2015/16 Annual Report

Federal Furnace Treble ChorusIn partnership with the Federal Furnace School in Plymouth, this free chorus is an auditioned group of fourth and fifth grade students who sing with the Phil at the annual Holiday Pops concerts.

Meet the Maestro This free event is held at the Plymouth Public Library in the fall. Music Director Steven Karidoyanes gives a lively and informative introduction of the upcoming season of music and guest artists offering insight and listening tips for people of all ages.

Your Symphonic CompanionYour Symphonic Companion is an engaging 2-hour presentation for adults. In Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Listening to Symphonic Music But Were Afraid to Ask. Maestro Karidoyanes introduces all the basic elements of music in a user-friendly way, focusing on how to listen, what to listen for, and how to appreciate and musical creativity and expression. This program is free and is available upon request for large groups.

Pre-concert Talks Prior to each classical performance Music Director Karidoyanes discusses the music for that evening’s performance. The pre-concert talks are free to all ticket holders.

Student Rush Any student can attend a Phil concert for just $5. The program is offered to students up to and including college students with a valid ID.

“I just returned from Boston University’s Tanglewood Institute, and looking back it has been one of the best experiences of my life. I played in master classes for James Somerville, Rachel Childers, and Daniel Kolzen. I attended twenty eight BSO, BU staff and BUTI student concerts. On top of this I played in six concerts, four chamber ensembles and two large ensembles. None of this would have been possible without the generous scholarship from the Phil. I greatly appreciate the experience you have given me and I will carry it with me the rest of my life. Thank you again.”

- Chloe-Rose Crouch 2016 scholarship recipient

The Plymouth Philharmonic Orchestra Music Scholarship Re-established

The Plymouth Philharmonic Orchestra Music Scholarship is awarded annually to a Plymouth County high school junior who intends to apply in the fall of their senior year to a four-year music program to major in music performance, music education or music composition. The award may be used for additional music lessons, master classes or workshops, summer music camps, purchase of a better instrument, or other expenses that raise the level of a student’s qualifications as an applicant to a music school.

The 2016 Scholarship was awarded to Chloe-Rose Crouch from Marshfield High School. Crouch has been principal horn in Marshfield High School Honors Wind Ensemble since 2013. Her achievements include membership in the New England Conservatory Youth Philharmonic Orchestra and the Boston Youth Symphony. She was accepted to study at Tanglewood, the summer home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, and Ms. Crouch used the Phil scholarship to help fund that experience.

The scholarship, once a regular offering by the orchestra decades ago, was reinstated in 2016 on the occasion of the orchestra’s centennial and will be presented annually.

“Music education and community focus have always been among the core values of the Phil’s mission,” said Judy Fosdick, Chair of the Scholarship Committee. “Our 100th season was the perfect time to launch our new scholarship to reflect our commitment to future generations of professional musicians”.

In Partnership With Our Community

The G. Herbert Clarke Award Petie and Paul Blanchard, long time Plymouth residents and supporters of the Phil, received the G. Herbert Clarke Award at the Phil’s annual Bravo Breakfast. The event, which kicks off the season each September, brings together our community supporters, artistic partners and loyal volunteers. Named for the Phil’s founder, the award celebrates the work of individuals who have gone above and beyond to help make the Phil what it is today. The Blanchards support our educational outreach activities through The Edgar and Pauline Main Family Foundation. Their support of the Family Concert and the Plymouth Children’s Chorus is especially appreciated. The Phil is grateful for their support which has allowed thousands of children of all ages to experience live orchestral music.

Service to our community The Phil’s annual Family Concert in March was part of the national food drive, Orchestras Feeding America, to benefit the needs of the Food Warehouse of Greater Plymouth. It was gratifying to see how generous local families from our audience were as collection bins were filled with food items following the family concert and instrument demonstration.

Independence Day Waterfront Concert The Phil gave back to the community by presenting a free July 4th concert on the waterfront preceding the Plymouth fireworks celebration. The outdoor concert featured the Plymouth International Chorus, the Plymouth High School’s Band program, and howitzer cannons operated by the Army National Guard. State Senator Vinny deMacedo read excerpts from the Declaration of Independence. The free concert was made possible through the support of the Plymouth Visitors Board and the Esther and Alcide Ruffini Charitable Trust.

100th Season Highlights

Publication of Commemorative Book100 Seasons: The Plymouth Philharmonic Orchestra 1913-2015 was published in 2015 to commemorate the orchestra’s 100th season. Written and edited by Judy Fosdick, the book was the culmination of three years of research into the orchestra’s history using archival documents and interviews with past conductors, musicians and community members. This book is a testament to the orchestra’s deep roots in the community.

World premiere of Dreamtime AncestorsThe Phil’s celebratory opening night concert featured the world premiere of Dreamtime Ancestors by Christopher Theofanidis, one of the top American symphonic composers of today. Based on an Australian aboriginal myth, the piece evokes the belief that all human beings are connected through “dreamtime ancestors”. The piece was commissioned by New Music for America, the national commission consortium which helps bring new works to audiences. Dreamtime Ancestors is subsequently being performed by orchestras in every state over the next two years.

2016 Gala On April 29th, 200 community leaders and music lovers came together to celebrate the Phil’s 100th season at our annual Gala Hooray for 100! Attendees enjoyed an unforgettable evening at Plimoth Plantation with dinner, live music and other festivities. The Gala successfully raised $70,000 in support of the orchestra’s programs.

2016 Golf TournamentThe 15th Annual Golf Tournament brought more than 100 enthusiastic players to Southers Marsh Golf Course in June in support of the Phil’s programs. Co-chaired by Frank Toffoloni and Sene Bostrom, the tournament is a key fundraising event for the orchestra. Special thanks go to With Integrity Wealth Management of Plymouth who was the lead corporate sponsor of the 2016 tournament.

The Phil receives Heritage Award Project Arts of Plymouth honored The Plymouth Philharmonic with its prestigious Arty Award in March in recognition of the orchestra’s 100th season.

Arts and cultural institutions are powerful tools in the economic, cultural and educational development of our cities and towns. The gifts these institutions provide to our communities are immeasurable.

Ways to Support the Phil

14 | 2015/16 Annual Report

Grants and Foundation GiftsThe Phil’s educational outreach and community programs would not exist without the support of corporations and family foundations. Contributions from grants and foundations help to further the mission of the Phil to provide a wide-range of live music and educational programs to people of all ages and backgrounds on the South Shore of Massachusetts. Many of the programs for children and families are free or at low ticket prices to allow everyone who wishes to attend the opportunity to hear a live performance or participate in a program.

Corporate and Business SponsorshipSupporting the Phil makes good business sense. Leaders on the South Shore know the important role the arts play in our community, and they value the vitality of live orchestral music. Business sponsorship can provide a platform for visibility, as well as opportunities for client appreciation. Sponsorship of concerts and events are available at a variety of levels and provides companies creative ways to connect with the community through music. In addition, advertisements in the program books reach thousands of potential customers each season.

Planned GivingPlanned Giving is an easy way to make a lasting contribution to the Phil. Planned gifts play a crucial role in sustaining the high level of artistry and innovative programming of the orchestra while enriching and shaping the culture of our community. Your gift also entitles your estate to a federal estate tax charitable deduction. Please contact your attorney for special details and language for any bequest. Popular ways to give include:

Bequests and WillsA bequest, a donation made through your will, is a flexible and convenient planned gift. While you may decide today that you will make the donation, the transfer occurs only when your will is executed. You retain complete control of your assets during your lifetime. There are several types of bequests you may want to consider.

Outright Bequest – You may donate a specific dollar amount or a particular asset, securities, a house or other tangible property.

Residual Bequest – The gift is the remainder of your estate after the payment of all other bequests and estate related expenses.

Contingent Bequest – Name the Phil as the recipient of all or some of your estate after the death of other beneficiaries.

Charitable Trust – Set up a charitible trust wherein the principal would eventually go to the Plymouth Philharmonic Orchestra.

Retirement Assets or Insurance – Give the remainder of your IRA, Keogh tax-sheltered annuity or qualified pension plan.

Individual Leadership Gifts – The Composers’ SocietyJune, 2015, the Phil announced the formation of a new leadership giving group - the Composers’ Society. These key-supporters are visionaries making a commitment to the future of the Plymouth Philharmonic Orchestra. Individuals giving $1,000 or more are enrolled in the Composers’ Society and receive special recognition for their support. Composers’ Society Members meet annually for a celebratory recognition dinner exclusively for members. All gifts to the Composers’ Society support the concerts and community and education programs of the Phil. Enrollment is ongoing.

Annual Giving – The Phil FundGifts to the Phil Fund directly benefit the Phil’s ongoing operations and enhance the audience experience. Donations of any size are welcomed and all gifts make a difference. Individual donors are the true heroes of the orchestra as ticket sales cover only 40% of concert costs. Community donors help us reach new audiences across the South Shore while keeping our concerts accessible and ticket prices affordable.

We especially appreciate the contributions of current donors and subscribers. This enables us to show potential corporate/foundation supporters that we have strong and committed supporters who believe in our mission and goals. Every gift, regardless of size, counts.

Matching GiftsMany companies match employee and retiree gifts. This is a great way to double or even triple your gift. Check online to see if your company matches gifts or contact your HR office for details. Matching gifts generally require nothing more than a simple form and are an easy way make an even greater impact.

AdvertisingBusinesses who advertise in our colorful program books gain visibility for their companies while supporting the orchestra at the same time. Advertisements help the Phil defray the cost of printing over 7,000 programs each season while spreading the word about local businesses who value the arts in their community. The concert program books offer the opportunity for businesses to reach thousands of new customers throughout the year.

Composer Society

“Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy.

Music is the electrical soil in which the spirit lives, thinks and invents.”

~ Ludwig van Beethoven

Leadership GivingThe Phil’s 100th season was the ideal time to establish the Composer Society, the orchestra’s new leadership giving group. Launched at the start of the centennial season, the Composer Society brings together visionary members of the community to honor the tradition of the orchestra’s excellence and community generosity and to secure its future.

Drawing on the energy and insights of the centennial year, the Phil was inspired to take a new approach to how we celebrate and recognize our leading annual donors. Composer Society members make a commitment to the future of the Plymouth Philharmonic Orchestra by going above and beyond annual giving by making significant financial gifts to the organization. This distinguished group of generous benefactors is helping to ensure the success of the Plymouth Philharmonic Orchestra and its role in our community for future generations.

Inaugural members of the Composer’s Society gathered in June 2016 for an elegant luncheon and chamber music concert. The Society heard our principal orchestra musicians perform Beethoven’s Septet in E-flat major in an intimate chamber music setting at the Plymouth Center for the Arts. Our visionary donors enjoyed socializing with some of our key musicians, bringing the season to an elegant conclusion.

Orchestras are a vital part of America’s musical landscape and civic life.

“America is brimming with extraordinary musicians, live concerts, and orchestras as unique as the communities they serve. Orchestral music is flourishing in our country, encouraging creativity and bringing people together to share the experience of live music. Orchestras fuel local economies, attract new business development, educate young people, and - through the power of music - unite individuals and cultures in times of public celebration and healing.” -League of American Orchestras (U.S. Quick Orchestra Facts)
