ERICH CAMPING

Welcome

Dear friends,

Did you know that the RPO travels to perform nearly 40 community concerts each year? Some of our most highly anticipated events are on the summer series. This month we venture out into city and suburban neighborhoods for eight community concerts, many of which are free or available at a lower cost than our regular series.

On July 4, we returned to downtown Rochester for the annual Citysponsored FREE Independence Day concert with post-concert fireworks.

We will also partner with the City for a series of four FREE Around the Town Neighborhood Ensemble Concerts every Tuesday starting July 11. We are proud to partner with the City on these concerts and are grateful for their support of the RPO. Also this summer are returning favorite concerts at CMAC, Ontario Beach Park, SUNY Geneseo, Frontier Field, Temple B’rith Kodesh, and Inlet. For a list of upcoming summer concerts, see the calendar listing on page 8 or visit rpo.org/summer.

As we look forward to the RPO’s 95th season starting this fall, I am pleased to report that the RPO continues on an upward trajectory. Under the artistic leadership of Ward Stare, sales increased 20 percent over last season. We attracted thousands of people to the RPO for the first time, thanks in part to diverse programming like Legends of Zelda and Amy Grant, and single concert sales increased by 30 percent. We anticipate that next season’s unique offerings, such as an evening with renowned violinist Itzhak Perlman, Broadway’s Audra McDonald, and showings of E.T.—The Extra Terrestrial and Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s StoneTM will continue this trend. Tickets go on sale Friday, July 28 at 10 AM. Subscribers enjoy priority access now to these popular concerts before the general public.

Visit rpo.org/subscribe or by call 585-454-2100.

We are delighted by the RPO’s audience growth, yet it’s important to note that ticket sales only cover 40 percent of our overall operating costs—the norm among orchestras nationwide. If you are a current donor, we thank you for your support! If you are thinking about becoming a donor, now is the perfect time! We recently announced a $200,000 End of Season Challenge, made possible by six dedicated donors who will give $2 for every dollar donated through August 1. You can make a tax-deductible donation today by calling the Development Office at 585-399-3649 or giving online at rpo.org/donate. Thank you and have a wonderful summer!

Sincerely,

Ralph Craviso President & CEO

The Rochester Philharmonic Youth Orchestra played the annual “side-by-side” concert with the RPO in March. Founded in 1970, the RPYO includes nearly middle- and highschool students from 30 schools in the Rochester area.

WARD STARE Music Director

Music Director

In the RPO’s 2015–16 season, Stare collaborated with highly regarded guest soloists including violinist Simone Porter, soprano Erin Wall, and worldrenowned pianist Yuja Wang. Stare also conducted the regional premiere of a flute concerto by Pulitzer-Prize winner Aaron Jay Kernis, performed by leading virtuoso Marina Piccinini. RPO 2016–17 season highlights included an American Music Festival, Puccini’s La Bohème, and the world concert premiere of a new work for orchestra by Academy Award-winning composer Elliot Goldenthal. Stare also collaborated with noted soloists such as pianist Jeremy Denk, violinist James Ehnes, and soprano Nicole Cabell.

Stare’s recent seasons have seen a number of highly anticipated debuts with orchestras around the world, including performances with the Baltimore Symphony, Sydney Symphony, Pittsburgh Symphony, Toronto Symphony, and the Calgary Philharmonic. This season, he made his debut in November with the Hawaii Symphony Orchestra leading a program of Wagner, Liszt, and Sibelius, followed by his return to the St. Louis Symphony in December.

Stare served as resident conductor of the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra from 2008 to 2012. In 2009, he made his highly successful Carnegie Hall debut with the orchestra, stepping in at the last minute to lead H. K. Gruber’s Frankenstein! The 2013–14 season saw his return to the Atlanta and Detroit symphony orchestras, as well as his debuts with the Syracuse Symphoria, the Jacksonville Symphony, and the Naples Philharmonic with Lang Lang as soloist. Other recent engagements include the Houston, Québec, and Dallas symphonies, as well as numerous engagements with the Saint Louis Symphony where he served as a regular guest conductor on the orchestra’s 2012–13 Family, Special Event, and Subscription series.

HALSKI STUDIO

He made his debut with the Grant Park Music Festival in July 2015, and returned to the New World Symphony in 2016. Stare’s frequent collaboration with the Lyric Opera of Chicago began with his debut in 2012 conducting performances of Hansel and Gretel; he returned in 2013 to lead Die Fledermaus, and again in November 2014 to lead Porgy and Bess to rave reviews. Following his critically acclaimed debut with the Opera Theatre of Saint Louis (OTSL) in 2013 conducting Il Tabarro and Pagliacci, Stare returned to OTSL the next season for performances of Dialogues of the Carmelites. He made his debut with the Washington National Opera conducting Donizetti’s comic opera L’Elisir d’amore in 2014.

2016–17 Season

Appointed the 12th music director of the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra in July 2014, Rochester native Ward Stare has been described as “inspiring musicians to impressive heights” by The New York Times, a “compelling figure on the podium” by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, and “a dynamic music director” by Rochester CITY Newspaper.

Stare was trained as a trombonist at The Juilliard School in Manhattan. At 18, he was appointed principal trombonist of the Lyric Opera of Chicago and has performed as an orchestral musician with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and the New York Philharmonic, among others. As a soloist, he has concertized in both the U.S. and Europe. wardstare.com
