Return Reference	Explanation
FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A	CAPACITY, SPO HAS PLAYED FOR OVER 20,000 INDIVIDUALS CATERING TOWARDS AN INCLUSIVE AUDIENCE. SINCE ITS INCEPTION NEARLY TEN YEARS AGO, SPO HAS STRENGTHENED THE SENSE OF ARTS AND CULTURE IN THE SAVANNAH-METROPOLITAN AREA AND CONTINUALLY WORKS TO EXPAND PROGRAMS OFFERED TO ADAPT TO THE NEEDS AND PREFERENCE OF THE COMMUNITY. LAST YEAR, SPO ENRICHED THE LIVES OF OVER 2,000 STUDENTS, 40,000+ AUDIENCE MEMBERS, AND INCREASED TO MORE THAN 300 FULL-SEASON SUBSCRIBERS, AND NEARLY 400 ANNUAL FUND DONORS. WITH GREAT PRIDE, 2018-19 MARKS THE TENTH ANNIVERSARY SEASON FOR SPO. SPO SERVES THE SAVANNAH-METROPOLITAN AREA AND SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES BY OFFERING, EIGHT FULL-ORCHESTRAL CONCERTS AND SEVEN CHAMBER CONCERTS EACH SEASON. OUTSIDE THE CONCERTS HALL, SPO OFFERS A VARIETY OF COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROGRAMS INCLUDING CAROLING ON BROUGHTON STREET, PICNIC IN THE PARK, AND PHILHARMONIC IN THE STREETZ. EACH OF THESE PROGRAMS ARE FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AND OFFER A FUN, FAMILY-FRIENDLY EXPERIENCE. ALSO, SPO TAKES GREAT PRIDE IN THEIR EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM, ORCHESTRA LAB IN PARTNERSHIP WITH SAVANNAH CHATHAM PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM, DIRECTLY TOUCHING NEAR 2,000 MUSIC STUDENTS EACH SCHOOL YEAR. THESE MUSIC EDUCATION INITIATIVES GIVE STUDENTS ACCESS TO PROFESSIONAL MUSICIANS WHO WORK CLOSELY WITH STUDENTS AND TEACHERS TO SET AND ACHIEVE INSTRUCTIONAL GOALS. SPO MUSICIANS ALSO PROVIDE INFORMATION ON HOW TO PURSUE MUSIC CAREERS. COMMUNITY IMPACT: TO GAIN A SENSE OF SPO'S COMMUNITY REACH IN THE SAVANNAH-METROPOLITAN AREA, 2017 ATTENDANCE RECORDS REFLECT APPROXIMATELY 41,000 INDIVIDUALS OUT OF THE 300,000 PLUS AREA RESIDENTS, ATTENDED A PERFORMANCE OFFERED BY SPO. SPO SURVEYS ATTENDEES DURING AND FOLLOWING CONCERTS AND EVENTS. INTERESTINGLY, DESPITE THE DIVERSITY IN ETHNICITY AND AGE DEMOGRAPHICS, AUDIENCES SERVED HAVE SIMILAR STATISTICAL DATA RESULTS. ONE-THIRD OF THE ATTENDEES SERVED WERE SELF-IDENTIFIED AS CITY OF SAVANNAH RESIDENTS, OVER HALF WERE CHATHAM COUNTY RESIDENTS, WITH A BALANCE DEEMED TO BE VISITORS (SURROUNDING COUNTIES OR TOURISTS). ALTHOUGH THE PRIMARY AGE OF INDIVIDUALS ATTENDING THE EVENTS WERE ADULTS BETWEEN THE AGES OF 21 AND 59 WITH 20,700 ATTENDEES, APPROXIMATELY 8,000 STUDENTS BETWEEN THE AGES OF 5-20 WERE SERVED BY SPO. THE REMAINING 12,300 INDIVIDUALS WERE SENIORS OVER THE AGE OF 60. ADDITIONALLY, THE VARIETY OF ETHNIC GROUPS VARIED GREATLY AND INCLUDED AFRICAN AMERICANS, ASIANS, CAUCASIANS, LATINA/HISPANICS, NATIVE AMERICANS, AND OTHERS. NEARLY ONE-THIRD OF THE AUDIENCE MEMBERS WERE AFRICAN AMERICAN (12,300) FOLLOWED BY 24,600 CAUCASIANS. THE REMAINING 4,100 INDIVIDUALS BELONGED TO A VARIETY OF OTHER ETHNIC GROUPS. SPO'S EDUCATION AND COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROGRAMS FOCUS ON THREE DISTINCTIVE AUDIENCES WITHIN SAVANNAH: LOCAL PUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENTS, HOSPITAL PATIENTS, AND RESIDENTS IN THE FINANCIALLY DISADVANTAGED NEIGHBORHOODS WHERE DEVELOPMENT IS ESSENTIAL. THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL YEAR, SPO TRAVELS TO SAVANNAH CHATHAM COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS (SCCPSS) AS PART OF THEIR ORCHESTRA LAB TO DISCUSS THE IMPORTANCE OF MUSICAL EDUCATION AND FUTURE CAREER DEVELOPMENT. DUE TO THE 82% POSITIVE SURVEY RESPONSE FROM SCCPSS PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS, SPO EXPANDED THE ORCHESTRA LAB PROGRAMS TO INCLUDE TWO ADDITIONAL SCHOOLS IN 2017. OUT OF THE 57 SCHOOLS THAT THE SPO PROVIDES EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR, 33 OF THE SCHOOLS ARE CONSIDERED TITLE 1; THEREFORE, THESE STUDENTS LIKELY HAVE LITTLE TO NO PROFESSIONAL MUSICAL EXPOSURE OR INSTRUCTIONAL TRAINING. THROUGH SECTIONALS, MASTERCLASSES, AND IN-SCHOOL ENSEMBLE INITIATIVES, SPO BRINGS TOP-NOTCH PROFESSIONAL MUSICIANS, OFTEN WITH MASTER'S OR DOCTORATE DEGREES, INTO CLASSROOMS, FREE-OF-CHARGE. STARTING IN 2011, SPO BEGAN PERFORMING AT THE ANDERSON CANCER INSTITUTE TWICE A WEEK HELPING PATIENTS AND CAREGIVERS COPE WITH LIFE-THREATENING ILLNESSES. BEGINNING IN 2013, SPO BEGAN PLAYING LIVE MUSIC IN THE J.C. LEWIS HEALTH CENTER LOBBY MONTHLY FOR PATIENTS, FAMILIES, AND CAREGIVERS. AT THIS TIME, THEY ALSO BEGAN THE MAGIC FLUTE PROGRAM AT THE WILLETT CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL AT MEMORIAL HEALTH (HCA), WHERE THEY PERFORM A TWENTY- MINUTE COMEDIC PERFORMANCE FOR THE YOUNG PATIENTS. ACCORDING TO MD ANDERSON CANCER CENTER, "WHEN USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH CONVENTIONAL CANCER TREATMENTS, MUSIC THERAPY HAS BEEN FOUND TO HELP REDUCE PAIN AND DISCOMFORT; IMPROVE MOOD AND DIMINISH STRESS; INCREASING THE QUALITY OF LIFE..." SPO HOPES TO BE A PART OF A RESEARCH STUDY IN THE COMING YEARS FOR A MORE SCIENTIFIC PICTURE OF WHAT MUSIC DOES FOR PATIENTS. IN COMMUNITIES AROUND SAVANNAH WHERE RESIDENTS ARE NOT TYPICALLY ABLE TO ATTEND THEATRE PERFORMANCES, SPO ORGANIZES, PRODUCES AND PERFORMS FREE CONCERTS TWICE A YEAR. THIS GROWING PROGRAM KNOWN AS PHILHARMONIC IN THE STREETZ, DEMONSTRATES SPO'S DESIRE TO SHARE CULTURAL DEVELOPMENT WITH THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY. SPO PARTNERS WITH OTHER NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS THE GREENBRIAR CHILDREN'S CENTER TO BRING PHILHARMONIC IN THE STREETZ TO THEIR COMMUNITIES. THE GOAL OF THESE PERFORMANCES INCLUDES REMOVING AN INVISIBLE CULTURE BARRIER THAT CAN EXIST. NEARLY 300 NEIGHBORS, STUDENTS AND COMMUNITY LEADERS ATTENDED THE LAST PHILHARMONIC IN THE STREETZ, LOCATED IN ALDERMANIC DISTRICT 5. SPO IS EXPANDING THE PROGRAM IN 2018 TO INCLUDE TWO ADDITIONAL ALDERMANIC DISTRICTS BY PARTNERING WITH LOCAL NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS AND CHURCHES WHERE LOW-INCOME AND HIGH-CRIME EXIST. SPO IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CITY OF SAVANNAH ANNUALLY PRESENTS PICNIC IN THE PARK HOSTED IN HISTORIC FORSYTH PARK. THIS FREE, PUBLIC EVENT FEATURES OVER SIX HOURS OF MUSIC INCLUDING PERFORMANCES BY STUDENTS IN SAVANNAH CHATHAM COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS MUSIC PROGRAMS, THE US ARMY MILITARY 3RD ID ROCK BAND, COLOR GUARD AND SALUTE BATTALION, AND THE PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA. SPO ENGAGES THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY WITH A SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGN FOR A PICNIC IN THE PARK "THEME CONTEST." THE THEME HELPS GUIDE THE REPERTOIRE WITH THE AIM OF CHOOSING PIECES THAT WOULD PLEASE AUDIENCES RANGING FROM YOUNG CHILDREN TO SENIOR CITIZENS. THIS PAST YEAR'S "THEME CONTEST" WINNER LUCINDA SHULTZ TOOK GREAT PRIDE IN HER ROLE FOR CHOOSING THE THEME AND HOW THE THEME INFLUENCES THE PROGRAM. LUCINDA WAS RECOGNIZED FROM THE STAGE DURING THE EVENT IN FRONT OF NEARLY 20,000 ATTENDEES. LUCINDA REMARKED, "THANK YOU FOR SUCH A MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE DURING PIP. WHAT AN AMAZING COMMUNITY EVENT" THIS CULTURAL, ANNUAL EVENT IS THE LARGEST OUTDOOR MUSIC EVENT HOSTED IN SAVANNAH AND PROVIDES AN EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY TO DRAW THE COMMUNITY TOGETHER AS WELL AS CELEBRATE THE MUSIC AND CULTURAL HERITAGE. AS ORCHESTRA LAB STUDENTS PERFORM, THEY CAN TRANSFER THE SKILLS AND EDUCATION THAT THEY LEARN IN SPO'S EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS TO A LARGE STAGE IN FRONT OF THOUSANDS OF ATTENDEES. AFTER STUDENTS PERFORM, THEY CAN LISTEN TO MUSIC PLAYED BY THOSE THAT SERVE AS THEIR MENTORS. TESTIMONIAL FROM SAVANNAH HIGH SCHOOL BAND DIRECTOR FEDERICO FOSTER'S TESTIMONIAL: "THANK YOU FOR THE INVITE THE KIDS HAD A GREAT TIME. I FELT IT WAS IMPORTANT THAT THEY GET USED TO PERFORMING IN A CONCERT SETTING. REINFORCING THE IMPORTANCE OF CONCERT BAND HAS BEEN A FOCUS OF MINE SINCE I STARTED AT SAVANNAH HIGH LAST YEAR. THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR HELP IN DEVELOPING OUR YOUNG MUSICIANS ONE OF THE SHS FLUTE PLAYERS GAVE ME A HUG. THAT'S PROBABLY NOT HELPFUL, BUT SHE WAS CLEARLY HAPPY TO BE THERE." ARTISTIC VALUE: THE ARTISTIC COMMITTEE FOR SPO HELP DEVELOP REPERTOIRE FOR THE ORCHESTRAL CONCERTS. THE COMMITTEE IS MADE UP OF EIGHT COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERS WHO HAVE VARIOUS VESTED KNOWLEDGE AND INSIGHTS INTO ORCHESTRAL AND POPULAR MUSIC. THE COMMITTEE IS STEERED BY ARTISTIC DIRECTOR AND CONDUCTOR PETER SHANNON AND JOHN CANARINA, RENOWNED SCHOLAR, MUSICIAN, AUTHOR, AND WAS ASSISTANT CONDUCTOR OF THE NEW YORK PHILHARMONIC UNDER LEONARD BERNSTEIN. CENTRAL TO THE ORGANIZATIONAL MISSION, QUALITY EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING IS ESSENTIAL. SINCE MANY OF THE MUSICIANS IN THE ORCHESTRA ARE ALSO INTEGRAL MEMBERS OF THE SAVANNAH CHATHAM SCHOOL DISTRICT, THESE MUSICIANS CAN UNDERSTAND HOW TO BETTER SUPPORT STUDENTS IN THE MUSICAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS. SENIOR SPO MANAGEMENT WORK WITH TEACHERS TO CONSTRUCT ARTISTIC PROGRAMS BASED ON SPECIFIC NEEDS IN THE SCHOOLS. WITH THE INSIGHT OF DR. SINISA CIRIC (SPO'S OWN CONCERTMASTER AND EDUCATION COMMITTEE MEMBER), WHO IS THE DIRECTOR OF THE STRINGS CONSERVATORY AT SAVANNAH CLASSICAL ACADEMY (A TITLE I CHARTER SCHOOL IN THE SCCPSS), THERE IS A LOCAL AND TARGETED APPROACH TO WHAT SCCPSS STUDENTS ARE ABLE TO GAIN FROM ORCHESTRA LAB. PARTNERSHIPS MATTER: STRATEGIC COLLABORATIONS PROVIDE OPPORTUNITY FOR BROADER COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. THE MORE FOLKS SPO CAN TOUCH, THE GREATER OPPORTUNITY TO FULFILL THEIR MISSION OF CULTIVATING VIBRANT GROWTH AND APPRECIATION FOR THE ARTS IN THE COMMUNITY. AS AN EXAMPLE, FOR THE FIFTH YEAR, SPO WILL PARTNER WITH THE CITY OF SAVANNAH TO PRODUCE AND PRESENT PICNIC IN THE PARK. THIS DYNAMIC, AND FAMILY FRIENDLY EVENT NOT ONLY GIVES SPO THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE LIVE ORCHESTRAL MUSIC
