A MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRS Dear Friends, It is with extreme pleasure that we welcome you back to our Fifth Annual Holly Jolly Symphony Fête. Although we could not gather in person last year, your support was a strong presence in our community. Last season, Palm Beach Symphony donated more than 65 instruments, valued at more than $96,000, to deserving students. Nearly 5,000 students participated in virtual field trips to experience our inspiring educational concert One Small Step and musicians provided more than 400 hours of classroom instruction. Your vital support helps provide the resources our students and teachers need. We look forward to joining you in applauding today’s announcement of the Symphony’s 2021 Instrumental Music Teacher of the Year. It has been a privilege to work with our honorary chairs Virginia and John Gildea, vice-chairs Karen and Ken Rogers, and auction chair Marietta Muiña McNulty. The success of this event is also due to the hard work and dedication of the Palm Beach Symphony Ladies Guild, the Host Committee, and the Music Men. While it is heartwarming to see you all again, we are deeply saddened that Palm Beach Symphony’s late president Dale Archer McNulty is not with us. His leadership transformed the Symphony in so many ways yet, today, we recall the relish with which he served as narrator to delightfully bring to life the characters and story of the Children’s Concert Series which has been renamed the Dale A. McNulty Children’s Concert Series in his honor. We wish to thank the student singing groups and orchestra musicians with us today as well as express our sincere appreciation to CEO David McClymont and his staff who make these events such a success. Since its debut, the Holly Jolly Symphony Fête luncheon has been the driving force behind our community outreach and music education programs. We are incredibly grateful for your generous support. Please enjoy today and have a happy holiday season.
Amy and John Collins Chairs

A MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
Dear Friends of Palm Beach Symphony, Gathering with friends is one of the great pleasures of the holiday season and I am delighted to see you again after nearly two years at today’s Fifth Annual Holly Jolly Symphony Fête. Since we last met, Palm Beach Symphony was honored with the 2020 Muse Award for Outstanding Community Engagement by The Cultural Council for Palm Beach County for our education and outreach programs that have reached more than 56,000 K-12 students in recent years. For the first time in our history, we expanded our programs this year to assist young artists ages 18-24 with the launch of the annual Mary Hilem Taylor Music Scholarship Competition. I hope you will be able to meet the finalists and the winners of the upcoming Lisa Bruna B-Major Award at the “20th Anniversary Annual Gala: A Musical Journey honoring Palm Beach Symphony’s late president Dale Archer McNulty,” on February 21 at The Breakers Palm Beach. Our ability to provide these programs is due, in large measure, to your ongoing support and attendance at today’s event, which is itself, a tribute to the vision and dedication of the Palm Beach Symphony Ladies Guild, the Host Committee, and the Music Men under the inspiring leadership of our chairs Amy and John Collins, honorary chairs Virginia and John Gildea, vice-chairs Karen and Ken Rogers, and auction chair Marietta Muiña McNulty. I would also like to acknowledge the generous support for our educational programs from The Paul and Sandra Goldner Conservatory of Music, Lois Pope, the Frederick A. DeLuca Foundation, The McNulty Charitable Foundation, James R. Borynack and Adolfo Zaralegui/ Findlay Galleries, and Mr. William Robertson. When at the podium, our acclaimed Music Director Gerard Schwarz unites the musicians into what is now recognized as one of our country’s leading orchestras. Similarly, by joining together in your support you are creating a national model for community involvement while enriching the lives of countless children. Thank you for joining us today and please enjoy the festivities. Sincerely,
David McClymont Chief Executive Officer

PAUL & SANDRA GOLDNER CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC
Each season our music education initiatives are expanded upon to reach more students in Palm Beach County, and in the last five years, our efforts have impacted more than 50,000 students. These programs continuously evolve to deepen and extend student learning opportunities with multiple interactions that enhance learning and reinforce academic and arts concepts.
Coaching Sessions and Residencies Student musicians learn technique, tone, posture, and proper instrument position in small group settings with professional Palm Beach Symphony instrument instructors.
Instrument Donations and Lisa Bruna B-Major Award One to three talented student musicians will be honored with the annual Lisa Bruna B-Major Award and receive an advanced level instrument after working with the Symphony to identify, test, and select the one with which to study and launch a career. In addition, we provide the donations of orchestral instruments we receive to underserved children or school music programs.
Lecture Demonstrations and In-School Concerts Presented in a variety of small ensemble combinations, Symphony musicians perform selected works, discuss the music, the instrument, the composer, and their backgrounds and professional careers. The in-school concerts, a highly sought-after program, provide students with the opportunity to ask questions and speak with musicians in an intimate and more personal setting. The program is offered directly to school sites, or as a virtual option, free of charge to Title 1 middle and high schools.
Instrumental Music Teacher of the Year We pay tribute to one special band or orchestra K-12 music teacher in Palm Beach County as the Instrumental Music Teacher of the Year with an award that includes coaching sessions by Palm Beach Symphony musicians, a classroom visit by Music Director Gerard Schwarz, Symphony concert tickets for the winner’s classes, and a basket-full of personal indulgences.
Mary Hilem Taylor Music Scholarship Competition The Taylor Competition offers scholarships to students of strings, woodwinds, brass and percussion who are between 18-24 years of age and reside or are enrolled at an educational institution in the tri-county South Florida area. In this inaugural year, the Competition will present cash prizes to three winners who are musicians of woodwind instruments. This competition is made possible through a generous donor, Felicia Taylor, in honor of her mother, Mary Hilem Taylor, who was part of an entire family that played orchestral instruments.

In Memoriam Dale Archer McNulty (1941-2021) Dale Archer McNulty served as the President of Palm
Beach Symphony’s Board of Directors from 2008 until his death earlier this year. Following his nearly 40-year career as a member of the New York Stock Exchange, Dale provided passionate and expert leadership that was vital in transitioning the Symphony into the world-class orchestra it is today. When Dale joined the Board, the Symphony presented concerts with less than half the musicians seen on our stage this season. Concerts were held at various intimate venues and, due to Dale’s guidance and support, the Symphony performs this entire season at the Kravis Center. As part of Dale’s ardent commitment to excellence, the internationally acclaimed musician and composer Gerard Schwarz joined us as our Music Director in 2019 and he continues to elevate and dramatically transform the Symphony into one of the nation’s top regional orchestras. As the narrator of the Children’s Concert Series productions of Peter and the Wolf and Carnival of the Animals, Dale loved being a part of the show, bringing life to the characters and story through his compelling and friendly voice. During his tenure, the Symphony created education and community outreach programs that have reached more than 56,000 students in recent years and resulted in the Symphony’s recognition by The Cultural Council for Palm Beach County with the 2020 Muse Award for Outstanding Community Engagement. Dale and his wife, Marietta, were tremendously generous to the Symphony as well as being actively involved in supporting numerous charities throughout the area. The Symphony will recall and celebrate his contributions throughout this season. In his honor, our family concerts have been renamed the Dale A. McNulty Children’s Concert Series and students this season are enjoying Eudora’s Fable: The Shoe Bird, an adaptation by Samuel Jones of Pulitzer Prize winner Eudora Welty’s only children’s book. In addition, we will dedicate the opening concert of the season to Dale, who rarely missed a concert. During his lifetime, Dale donated many instruments to the Symphony to provide to underserved children. Marietta will once again be actively involved as students and music programs in public schools receive instruments this holiday season at the Fifth Annual Holly Jolly Symphony Fête. We have entitled our February 21, 2022 social event at The Breakers, the “20th Anniversary Annual Gala: A Musical Journey honoring Palm Beach Symphony’s late president Dale Archer McNulty,” when we will again raise a glass in his honor.

Dale A. McNulty Children’s Concert Series Eudora’s Fable: The Shoe Bird Virtual Field Trips and Workshops
The magic of Palm Beach Symphony’s educational presentations continues with a musical fable with music and lyrics written by ASCAP winning composer Samuel Jones. Based on the book by Pulitzer Prize-winning author, Eudora Welty, the story is similar to one of Aesop’s fables which contains a moral or lesson. While describing the many birds of the story, the music introduces and expands children’s knowledge of orchestral instruments. With a 2008 Grammy Award nomination for “Best Musical Album for Children,” our production features Young Singers of the Palm Beaches, Emmy Award Winning narrator Charlie Adler, visual artist Ed McGowin creating bigger than life sized art projections, and Palm Beach Symphony Orchestra led by our Music Director Gerard Schwarz. As part of the project and with our partnership with the Literacy Coalition of Palm Beach County, literacy workshops focused on proverbs and idiomatic expressions related to birds will be offered to students, while Symphony music teaching artists provide music workshops that explore rhythm, timbre, and musical phrases.

These extraordinary artists took unusable instruments to create imaginative and inspiring works of art that were on exhibition and auctioned to benefit both non-profit organizations.
The mission of the Randolph A. Frank Prize for the Performing Arts is to recognize and reward individual performing artists and dedicated educators who enrich the quality of the performing arts in Palm Beach County, Florida.
