All of my big plans were put on hold when I thought I had a bad cold and it turned out to be heart failure. After a heart transplant, I feel lucky to be here. My answer was Mayo Clinic. Adam Janusz

At Mayo Clinic, Adam was diagnosed with giant cell myocarditis, a devastating disease that often affects young, otherwise healthy people. He was outfitted with a Bi-Ventricular Assist Device (BVAD) and was able to go home to wait for his new heart.

Dear Symphony Patrons, Welcome to the 2013/14 Season! The Phoenix Symphony is thrilled to present a season of big music and big names including Steven Spielberg and John Williams, Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9, Verdi’s Requiem, Lang Lang, Emanuel Ax and more. Your orchestra offers something for everyone with awe-inspiring Classics and Pops, one-of-a-kind Specials and dynamic Family concerts. You can also experience the Symphony through a number of unique fundraising events such as Parties of Note, Savor the Symphony Women’s Luncheon and our collaborative TRIO Gala. We achieved a number of milestones during the highly successful 2012/13 Season such as: launching a multi-year Music Director Search; being featured at the 2012 League of American Orchestras conference as an industry benchmark for our turnaround efforts; producing a first-in-the-nation education program, Mind Over Music, a collaborative initiative that trains teachers to integrate music into STEM concepts, and so much more. We also launched the B-Sharp Music Wellness Initiative, a program in partnership with Scottsdale Healthcare Shea Medical Center, Circle the City and Lodestar Day Resource Center, using music as a catalyst for joy and self-expression for individuals who often feel powerless or silenced. We are proud to tell you that the Symphony has been able to retire all of the debt that the association carried, which represents the final step in the overall stabilization of the orchestra. This success is just the capstone to a two-year process that has seen many notable successes such as increased ticket sales and contributed revenue, record attendance numbers, and increased venue capacity utilization. The retirement of this debt, combined with continued operational and artistic success sets the stage for the long term health and growth of your Phoenix Symphony. We are excited to present the 2013/14 Season. With our improved financial stability, we have been able to line up some of the biggest names and biggest music in the orchestral world. None of this would be possible without the continued and generous support of patrons and donors like you. On behalf of The Phoenix Symphony Board of Directors, musicians and staff, thank you for joining us. You are making a valuable and positive difference in the quality of life in our community and an investment in a bright future for our state for generations to come. Please feel free to introduce yourself to our staff at any concert and give us your feedback. Again, thank you for your support and patronage and I look forward to meeting you at a concert this Season. See you at the Symphony,

Jim Ward, President & CEO

Letter from the Publisher Welcome Friends, ON Media Publications grew up in the theater. Chapter One of our company’s story began with a handful of performing arts groups in Southern Arizona. The plot was simple. We would take on the financial responsibility of publishing their program books to allow them to direct their endless talent and limited resources to what they do best, create magic on the stage. During our nearly four decades in operation, we expanded from that original handful (still happily with us!) to serve as the publisher of more than 30 visitor guides, program books and golf spectator guides. A unique new partnership which launched this summer is with Eight, Arizona PBS, publishing the monthly Eight Magazine. We are thrilled to welcome Eight as our newest member of ON Media partners. Stay tuned for more exciting news as this friendship develops. With our roots in the theater, we have learned a lot about strong performances. While backstage, the ON Media team has picked up a number of lessons that help guide our company; speak clearly, hit your marks, keep your eye on the spotlight, don’t upstage your colleagues and you are only as good as your last performance. This is invaluable advice for all of us as we build ON Media’s reputation...one performance at a time. A noteworthy moment at this year’s Tony Awards was Cyndi Lauper’s win for Best Original Score, for her musical “Kinky Boots.” I have always admired her for her ability to make everything she does seem like fun. In her acceptance speech, my admiration increased as the show-biz veteran acknowledged the hard working ensemble behind the award, “My wonderful team, you guys inspire me.” I invite all of you to meet ON Media’s wonderful team by visiting our newly designed website, onmediaaz.com. Each work day, and more work nights than I like to admit, they do the hard work of making our publications possible while...enjoying the experience, and making it all look like fun!

Founded in 1947, The Phoenix Symphony is Arizonaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest performing arts organization. Whether in Symphony Hall, the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts, the Mesa Performing Arts Center or other venues across the state, we present over 200 of the highest quality and broadest range of live orchestral concerts: explosive classical works, world premieres, hits from Broadway and imaginative collaborative performances. The same high standards that we apply to our stage, we extend to our Education and Community Outreach programs. Thousands of parents and children attend our Sunday afternoon literacy-themed Family concerts. Through performances for students in Symphony Hall or at schools, discount tickets, and diverse, educational outreach programs like One Nation or Mind Over Music, each year we reach over 85,000 young people who might not otherwise experience live Symphonic music. Our community engagement extends to even more underserved populations like those living in homeless shelters or staying in hospitals where we provide the pleasures of music to those who need comfort. We are proud to continue our 67-year tradition of contributing to the culture, vibrancy and enrichment of the entire state. Most importantly, we are grateful to our subscribers, donors, volunteers and Board whose generous support makes our work possible.

The Phoenix Symphonyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Vision & Mission The vision of The Phoenix Symphony is to be the arts leader in the revitalization of a thriving Arizona. Our mission is to provide the joy of music as a catalyst in helping Arizona to become the best place in America to work and live. We will do this by creating high quality musical experiences to feed the souls of our residents, bolster the cultural economy, and educate and strengthen our next generation, resulting in a creative workforce.

Message From The Chairman

It is with great excitement and enthusiasm that I welcome you to

this once-in-a-lifetime benefit concert conducted by John Williams with special guest Steven Spielberg. When John Williams and Steven Spielberg met in 1972, Williams had nearly 20 years of film and TV scoring behind him and Spielberg was a 25 year-old television director about to shoot his first theatrical feature. When they agreed to work together, arguably the most successful film music partnership in Hollywood history was born. Tonight, we’ll all get to experience that history together. This performance serves as a major fundraising opportunity for The Phoenix Symphony, with proceeds dedicated to our Education and Community Engagement programs. We are both humbled and honored that Maestro Williams and Steven Spielberg have generously donated their time and talent for tonight’s engagement. The Phoenix Symphony values and understands the critical importance of our next generation. As an arts leader in the revitalization of a thriving Arizona, the Symphony has dedicated itself to supporting a creative workforce by impacting students through exceptional music education programs and to feeding the souls of residents through meaningful community outreach. The Phoenix Symphony’s investment in education and our community results in the engagement of nearly 300,000 adults, children and families from across our state each year. Our heartfelt gratitude goes out to the musicians of The Phoenix Symphony. It is their constant dedication and commitment to our community that makes all that we do possible, both on and off the stage. On behalf of The Phoenix Symphony Board of Directors, musicians and staff, thank you for joining us this evening. It is because of the leadership and support from individuals like you that The Phoenix Symphony has been able to inspire, educate and entertain our community for the past 66 years. Sincerely, Chairman, Board of Directors

"Unsung heroes: captured in a rare break from their work are Dr. Jules Woodard and nurse Anna Worth, circa 1936. They staffed the hospital in Ruby, Arizona during the prosperous period of the Eagle-Picher Mining Company. At its peak, Ruby was home to over 1,500 people. As an archivist and librarian, I am currently working on the Montana Mine Collection which documents a wide range of mining activities and life in this small mining town. There were many mining accidents, a number of which included women. The snippets of information I've encountered have welcomed me into the stories of their lives. Anna Worth herself was injured by a knife while cutting open a box of medicine. Finding this image of her, ďŹ t, smiling, and ready for duty was like meeting an old friend."

made his feature film directorial debut on “The Sugarland Express,” from a screenplay he cowrote. His next film was “Jaws,” which was the first film to break the $100 million mark. In 1984, Spielberg formed his own production company, Amblin Entertainment. Under the Amblin banner, he served as producer or executive producer on such hits as “Gremlins,” “Goonies,” “Back to the Future I, II, and III,” “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?,” “An American Tail,” “Twister,” “The Mask of Zorro,” and the “Men in Black” films. In 1994, Spielberg partnered with Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen to form the original DreamWorks Studios. The studio enjoyed both critical and commercial successes, including three consecutive Best Picture Academy Award® winners: “American Beauty,” “Gladiator,” and “A Beautiful Mind.” In its history, DreamWorks has also produced or co-produced a wide range of features, including the “Transformers” blockbusters, Clint Eastwood’s World War II dramas “Flags of Our Fathers” and “Letters from Iwo Jima,” the latter earning a Best Picture Oscar® nomination, “Meet the Parents” and “Meet the Fockers,” and “The Ring,” to name only a few. Under the DreamWorks banner, Spielberg also directed such films as “War of the Worlds,” “Minority Report,” “Catch Me If You Can,” and “A.I. Artificial Intelligence.”

Among its many awards, the project won both Emmy and Golden Globe Awards for Outstanding Miniseries. He and Hanks more recently reunited to executive produce the acclaimed 2010 HBO miniseries “The Pacific,” this time focusing on the Marines in WWII’s Pacific theatre. “The Pacific” won eight Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Miniseries. Among the shows Spielberg also executive produced were the Emmy-winning Sci-Fi Channel miniseries “Taken,” the TNT miniseries “Into the West,” the Showtime series “The United States of Tara,” and NBC’s “Smash.” He is currently an executive producer on TNT’s “Falling Skies” and CBS’“Under the Dome,” based on the novel by Stephen King.

Spielberg has not limited his success to the big screen. He was an executive producer on the long-running Emmy-winning TV drama “E.R.” produced by his Amblin Entertainment company and Warner Bros. Television for NBC. On the heels of their experience on “Saving

Apart from his filmmaking work, Spielberg has also devoted his time and resources to many philanthropic causes. He established The Righteous Persons Foundation using all his profits from “Schindler’s List.” He also founded the Survivors of the Shoah Visual History Foundation, which in 2006 became the USC Shoah Foundation - The Institute for Visual History and Education. The Institute has recorded more than 52,000 interviews with survivors and other witnesses of the Holocaust and other genocides and is dedicated to making the testimonies a compelling voice for education and action. Additionally, Spielberg is the Chairman Emeritus of the Starlight Children’s Foundation.

MIND OVER MUSIC

The Phoenix Symphony is the first in the nation to create a comprehensive, school-wide model that integrates music into STE[+a]M – science, technology, engineering and math – concepts with the addition of an “a” for the arts. With year one of this program complete, we have already seen an 18% increase in test scores for children who participated in Mind Over Music. SYMPHONY FOR THE SCHOOLS

This program provides thousands of K-12 students with an introductory concert experience in Symphony Hall while connecting the elements of music to core classroom subjects like science, literature and math.

CLASSROOM CONCERT SERIES

An extraordinary opportunity where K-8 students experience orchestral music in an intimate setting at their own school. Programs feature a 20-member String ensemble or one of the Symphony’s Woodwind, Percussion or Brass ensembles.

This program goes beyond the traditional concert stage to bring live, interactive performances presented by Symphony musicians to those in need. B-Sharp, a W.O.N.D.E.R Project serves the Scottsdale Healthcare Shea Medical Center’s patients, family members and hospital staff, those suffering from homelessness at Circle the City and Lodestar Day Resource Center, and seniors suffering from Alzheimer’s and other dementias and their care partners.

NTHE RECORD

ON Media Publications – A resource for great performances on and off stage

Signature Sound The human voice. In our personal lives and professional careers we depend on our voice to work on our behalf. It is one of the most powerful tools for communicating thought and evoking emotion, whether through soaring song, dramatic dialogue or in private conversation. However, a number of medical and psychological problems can interfere with its proper function, causing frustration and worry for people who use their voices professionally – teachers, lawyers and especially performers. The Voice Program within the Department of Otorhinolaryngology (ear, nose and throat) at Mayo Clinic in Arizona provides immediate and expert care for people facing these vocal complications. Understanding the unique and time-sensitive needs of professional performers, Mayo Clinic Voice Program medical experts are always on call, available to provide 24/7 diagnosis and treatment in urgent situations. “Just as the human voice is capable of a rich and diverse vocal range, our Mayo Clinic specialists work with each patient to create an individualized treatment plan to address their specific need,” said Dr. David G. Lott, Director of the Voice Program. “Our physicians, voice therapists, and singing specialists are skilled and continually trained in the latest medical, surgical, and behavioral techniques needed to get your voice back to where it should be: on stage, in perfect pitch and in your signature sound.”

If you rely on your voice, you can rely on Mayo Clinic Voice problems can be caused by a number of factors, disease, nodules, cysts, muscle tension and anxiety caused by a stage performance or other psychological concerns. Diagnosing the source poses unique challenges. Mayo Clinic’s Voice Program physicians engage (removed "s") in specialized diagnostic techniques such as vocal acoustic measures and stroboscopy, which reveals the vocal folds at work in slow motion and allows the physician to check the tissue for internal damage that obstructs natural movement. Mayo Clinic's mission is to keep looking for new and better ways of doing things. The Voice Program is the latest innovation and is the only such center in the southwest region. Mayo Clinic consistently shows up at or near the top in a variety of quality measures.

Q: What is the value of art? A: In Phoenix, cultural audiences put a value of $136 million on their arts experiences. That’s money audiences spent on everything related to a cultural experience---meals, shopping, hotels, drinks, transportation— everything except the cost of the event ticket. Q: Art is where you find it. Tell us the most unusual location. A: At “The Gallery @ City Hall,” a small gallery in the Atrium of City Hall that features works from the City’s 100 year old municipal art collection. In fact, you can find City-owned art work throughout public areas in all City of Phoenix buildings.

DWIGHT WALTH

Q: “If it was my money, I would buy….” A: A vast collection of the most interesting instruments from all over the world! Or….a ticket to the Musical Instrument Museum. Q: Worth the trip: Best artwork seen from Light Rail. A: The Performance Art by fellow passengers ON the light rail.

Please say hello to Dr. Dwight Walth, Director of Grants Services and Community Initiatives for the City of Phoenix’s Office of Arts and Culture. Established in 1985, the office works on behalf of residents and visitors to foster a sense of cultural identity, celebrate diversity and ensure an outstanding quality of community life. The Arizona State University graduate, Doctor of Musical Arts in Vocal Performance, is frequently asked to share his expertise adding his mellow baritone to panels for the National Endowment for the Arts, the Arizona Commission on the Arts and the Indianapolis Arts Council. The former song and dance man has sung, promoted, praised and at times pleaded on behalf of our state capitol’s cultural capital. And like a modern-day Gene Kelly he performs the role with graceful precision, impeccable balance and always smartly turned out. Q: What are the dividends of cultural capital investments? A: A study by the Phoenix Office of Arts and Culture in 2011, found that the economic impact of Phoenix nonprofit arts and cultural organizations and their audiences was $301 million dollars. There are also intangible dividends that are difficult to measure, but no less important, like the role of cultural capital in attracting and retaining business, a highly-educated, creative workforce, and enhancing the quality of life in our community.

Q: You were a radio dj in high school and college. Name the hits on your turntables. A: It’s the late 70’s, early 80’s, so the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack is in heavy rotation. That and pretty much all the artists/songs featured during a typical current PBS fund drive. Q: Book read in school that influenced your life? A: The Call of the Wild by Jack London. I try to read it every year. Q: It’s Monday morning, on the way to work; windows are up, what show tune are you singing? A: If it’s a morning, I’m doing vocal warm-ups, but once warmed-up it’s probably, “Oh What a Beautiful Morning.” Especially on Mondays! Q: In high school I was voted/awarded “Most.....” A: Talented Q: Talent you wish you possessed? A: I wish I could dance like Gene Kelly Q: Character from a musical you most resemble? A: I’ve played Curly in Oklahoma!, Billy in Carousel, Sky in Guys and Dolls, Horace in Hello Dolly! and Wild Bill Hickok in Calamity Jane. I most resemble Curly—“I’ve got a beautiful feeling everything’s goin’ my way”. Dr. Walth declined to answer the last question, The role you were born to play? Perhaps because for over 17 years he is living the answer.

Q: Put a price tag on culture. A: In Phoenix, the price tag on culture is $164.5 million! That’s what Phoenix nonprofit arts and cultural organizations spent to produce or present cultural programming in 2011.
