Few things in life have the power to bring people together like the performing arts. Live performances can build bridges between communities, move audiences to laughter and tears, and provide moments of relief and joy during our otherwise hectic lives. Whether you’re dancing on the lawn at the Filene Center, singing at Children’s Theatre-in-theWoods, or enjoying an intimate performance at The Barns, the palpable energy and welcome interactions with those around you make it clear that Wolf Trap is a place for everyone. Looking back, it’s easy to see what an extraordinary year 2019 was for Wolf Trap Foundation. With a renewed 20-year partnership agreement with the National Park Service, our commitment to the community has never been stronger. Our audiences are increasingly diverse, drawn to an array of relevant music, theater, and dance offerings, as well as stunning performances from our own Wolf Trap Opera. At the same time, future generations of young people are being shaped by the positive influence of our early childhood education programs. Wolf Trap built strong partnerships this year, and philanthropic efforts have continued to grow with nearly 10,000 dedicated supporters.
Wolf Trap exists thanks to the vision and generosity of founder Catherine Filene Shouse, and the Foundation’s accomplishments today are due to the ongoing support of our donors, community members, patrons, partners, and educators who continue to believe in Wolf Trap’s programs. The pages within this 2019 Annual Report celebrate our community, a year of remarkable performing arts, as well as a strong educational impact. Thank you.

Kicking off an astounding summer season, Wolf Trap welcomed Grammynominated Americana rockers The Avett Brothers back for three exciting performances during the summer’s opening weekend. The #ThreeNightsofAvetts brought new patrons from around the country to the Filene Center, many of whom attended each night to enjoy a different set and opening act. Multi-night shows became a theme of summer 2019 with three rocking nights of Sting, two iconic performances of Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band, multiple Broadway-worthy Rock of Ages shows, and a duo of magical nights of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire™ in Concert with the National Symphony Orchestra. Fans attending performances of Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me! were treated to guest appearances by Chef José Andrés and opera star Renée Fleming. American Ballet Theatre also returned to the Filene Center for three dreamy performances of their romantic production of Swan Lake, including a Friday night performance by extraordinary Principal Dancer Misty Copeland as Odette/Odile.

NEW ERA OF OPERA LEADERSHIP After 22 years of leading Wolf Trap Opera, Kim Pensinger Witman retired as Vice President of Opera and Classical Programming in early 2019 and handed over the reins of this prestigious program to Wolf Trap’s Lee Anne Myslewski. Under Myslewski’s leadership this year, Wolf Trap Opera thrived with an impressive lineup that included producing Rossini’s The Barber of Seville at the Filene Center, recitals and concerts, the UNTRAPPED series, and a masterclass with 2019 Filene Artist in Residence Lawrence Brownlee. At The Barns, Wolf Trap Opera shed light on two lesser-known opera gems with a double bill entitled The World Turned Upside Down, comprised of Gluck’s Merlin’s Island and Ullmann’s The Emperor of Atlantis. Following the double bill, Wolf Trap Opera immersed itself in the comical and enchanting world of Strauss’ Ariadne auf Naxos. Steven Blier also celebrated 25 years at The Barns with two special 25th Anniversary Concert performances featuring current artists and alumni.

A THOUGHT LEADER IN ARTS EDUCATION

In 2019, Wolf Trap Institute strengthened its position as a thought leader in the field of early childhood arts education and continued to be a major voice in a critical conversation. Institute programs were on full display in Austin, TX at SXSW EDU, one of the world’s foremost education conferences. Wolf Trap leadership led a lively conversation about using the arts to make teaching and learning environments more culturally responsive. The panel was led by Akua Kouyate-Tate, Wolf Trap Vice President of Education; Melissa Carlson, Senior Digital Producer at PBS member station WGBH; Wolf Trap Master Teaching Artist Kofi Dennis; and Kantara Souffrant, dramatic artist and Assistant Professor of Art History at Oberlin College and Conservatory. The theme of cultural-responsiveness, equity, and access to high-quality early childhood education was also core to Wolf Trap’s presentation with leaders from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Education Commission of the States at the 2019 Grantmakers for Education Conference in New Orleans, LA. In May 2019, Wolf Trap’s Akua Kouyate-Tate and Master Teaching Artists TerleneTerry Todd and Christina Farrell were invited to South Korea in partnership
