| Form 990, Part III, Program A | Debut of New Artistic Partner Rob Kapilow The SPCO announced a new kind of Artistic Partnership for the 2019.20 season with the appointment of composer and musical commentator Rob Kapilow as the orchestra's newest Artistic Partner. Kapilow is known throughout the music world for his special concert format, What Makes It Great? "the kind of enlightening musical seminar in which you hang on to every word and note" (The New York Times). Kapilow helps audiences listen with new ears, taking them deeply inside music from the composer's point of view to hear what makes it tick and what makes it great. He joined the SPCO in March for an in-depth exploration of Ludwig van Beethoven's iconic Seventh Symphony, illuminating both the inner workings of the music and the process by which the SPCO musicians work together as a conductorless ensemble. Kapilow was scheduled to lead this program for two weeks in several of the SPCO's venues around the metro area, but the second week of performances was canceled as the pandemic struck the Twin Cities. Newly Appointed SPCO Musicians Three new appointments to the orchestra were announced at the end of the 2018.19 season: Cassie Pilgrim as Principal Oboe, Richard Belcher as a new member of the orchestra's cello section and Eunae Koh as a new violinist with the orchestra. These musicians saw their first official performances in their new positions at the start of the 2019.20 season. Belcher took the spotlight in former SPCO Composer-in-Residence Chen Yi's Sound of the Five for solo cello with string quartet in December and Pilgrim joined Concertmaster Steven Copes as soloist on Johann Sebastian Bach's Double Concerto for Oboe and Violin in February. MAJOR ARTISTIC PROJECTS CANCELED DUE TO PANDEMIC Lincoln Center's Great Performers Series The SPCO's scheduled performance in New York City in May 2020 as part of Lincoln Center's 54th Great Performers Series was canceled due to the pandemic. Since its inception, the series has showcased many of the world's most accomplished and inspirational musicians in the concert halls and performance spaces that span the Lincoln Center campus. On May 16, 2020, the SPCO was scheduled to conclude the Great Performers Series in an unconducted performance with violinist and Artistic Partner Pekka Kuusisto. Mozart's Requiem with the St. Olaf Choir Another artistic casualty of the pandemic was the cancellation of a planned collaboration between the SPCO and the world-renowned St. Olaf Choir for performances of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Requiem at the Cathedral of Saint Paul and Ordway Concert Hall. Shrouded in mystery and controversy, Requiem is one of Mozart's most famous works. Unfinished at the time of his death, the piece was finished shortly after by Franz Sussmayr, who worked as a copyist for Mozart at the end of his life. The planned program also included additional choral works and famous unfinished works by Franz Schubert and Johann Sebastian Bach. ARTS PARTNERSHIP COLLABORATION In early March 2020, the SPCO joined fellow members of the Arts Partnership (the Ordway, Minnesota Opera and Schubert Club) in presenting Sphinx Virtuosi, a chamber ensemble comprised of the nation's top Black and Latinx string soloists, at the Ordway Concert Hall. The Sphinx Organization is dedicated to transforming lives through the power of diversity in the arts, and the Arts Partnership was pleased to collaborate with Sphinx for the fourth consecutive year. Planned for April 25, the Partnership's third annual Family Arts Blast, a free family event that welcomes hundreds of families to the Ordway Center to participate in a plethora of arts activities and performances, was canceled due to the pandemic. In addition to collaborating on programming, the members of the Arts Partnership also worked together to raise more than $785,000 for the Arts Partnership Fund, which on an annual basis provides resources to reduce rent costs for each organization, invest in the upkeep of the Ordway facility and support co-presentations. In FY20, these funds also provided additional resources to maintain the financial health of the Partnership. The mission of the Arts Partnership is to strengthen its member organizations in service to the community through growing collaboration and stewardship of its shared assets. The partners seek to expand access to the Ordway, to deepen the community's engagement with the art that is created and performed there, and to develop the resources to sustain this beloved community asset for generations to come. |
