Client Overview

Named “a vital, artistically significant musical organization” by The Wall Street Journal, the New JerseySymphony Orchestra embodies that vitality through its statewide presence and critically acclaimedperformances, education partnerships and unparalleled access to music and the Orchestra’s superbmusicians.

Under the bold leadership of Music Director Jacques Lacombe, the NJSOpresents classical, pops and family programs, as well as outdoor summerconcerts and special events. Embracing its legacy as a statewide orchestra,the NJSO is the resident orchestra of the New Jersey Performing Arts Centerin Newark and regularly performs at the State Theatre in New Brunswick,Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank, Richardson Auditorium in Princeton, MayoPerforming Arts Center in Morristown and bergenPAC in Englewood.Partnerships with New Jersey arts organizations, universities and civicorganizations remain a key element of the Orchestra’s statewide identity.

Prior to Lacombe, music directors of the NJSO have included Henry Lewis,the first African-American to lead a major American orchestra andinternationally renowned Neeme Järvi. Celebrated artists regularly appear as

guest soloists with the NJSO. These have included Joshua Bell, Pascal Rogé, Jean-Yves Thibaudet, SarahChang, Yo-Yo Ma, Hilary Hahn, Patti Lupone, Frederica Von Stade, André Watts, Renée Fleming, YefimBronfman, Bernadette Peters and Lang Lang. Notable guest conductors have included Yan Pascal Tortelier,Susanna Mälkki, Xian Zhang and Gerard Schwarz. In 2012, the Orchestra was selected to perform as part ofCarnegie Hall’s Spring for Music festival on the strength of its bold programming proposal. “It was an honorto be in the hall for the astonishing performance of the Busoni [piano concerto] by [pianist Marc-AndréHamelin], the orchestra and the chorus,” wrote The New York Times of the NJSO’s performance of the rarelyperformed concerto. Other signature artistic initiatives have recently included the New Jersey Roots project,focusing on composers whose time spent in the Garden State has significantly impacted their artisticidentity, and the Winter Festival, concerts and off-stage events exploring a particular theme.

In addition to its lauded artistic programming, the NJSO presents a suite of education and communityengagement programs that promote meaningful, lifelong involvement with live music. Programs include the

NEW JERSEY SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA BACKGROUNDER | 6

Youth Orchestras program, school-time Concerts for Young People and multiple initiatives that provide andpromote in-school instrumental instruction. The NJSO’s Resources for Education and Community Harmony(REACH) chamber music program annually brings original programs—designed and performed by NJSOmusicians—to a variety of settings, reaching as many as 17,000 people in nearly all of New Jersey’s 21counties.

Education and Community Engagement

NJSO CHAMPS (Character, Achievementand Music project), the El Sistema-inspiredprogram, provides 50 students in gradesthree through eight with up to 30 weeks ofintensive after-school string instruction thatis designed to nurture them as leaders,scholars and musicians. This story was givenmajor coverage in the Star Ledger (StarLedger Article) and was a cover story in theApril 2013 issue of Symphony Magazine.

The Youth Orchestras program, part of the NJSO Academy, provides three distinct performanceensemble opportunities for as many as 140 young orchestral musicians between the ages of 10–18from 10 counties throughout northern and central New Jersey. A new partnership with the NewJersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC) provides preparatory instruction to Newark-area youngmusicians.

The Concerts for Young People programpresents age-appropriate full orchestraperformances enjoyed by over 13,000 youngpeople and educators across a number ofdifferent venue locations throughout thestate. Programs are designed for students ingrades K–8.

REACH chamber ensembles perform at morethan 150 events annually, serving over 20,000residents of all ages in communities in nearlyall 21 counties of the state. Under the REACHbanner, NJSO musicians also provide customizable in-school coaching sessions and masterclassesdesigned to augment school instruction. The NJSO Autism Community Program, a targeted

NEW JERSEY SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA BACKGROUNDER | 7

REACH initiative, sends chamber groups of NJSO musicians to perform for more than 700 youngpeople and adults on the autism spectrum in their schools and community organizations.

The three-concert Family Concert Series introduces children and their families to the instruments ofthe orchestra and symphonic literature. Programs serve almost 3,800 patrons each season, mainlyparents with children ages 5–13 from the Newark area and beyond.

Through the NJSO Preschool Program, over 1,200 children, ages 3–5, enjoy intimate, classroom-based introductions to orchestral instruments, access to NJSO musicians and the experience of amultisensory symphony concert featuring age-appropriate repertoire.

Four to six emerging composers are selected via an international search to participate in the week-long professional development program, NJSO Edward T. Cone Composition Institute.Participants hear their works rehearsed by the NJSO, receive constructive feedback and incorporatesuggested changes, all culminating in the world premieres of their works at a public concert. Thetuition-free Institute also includes career-development seminars with industry leaders.

Economic Impact

The NJSO is the resident orchestra of the New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC) in Newark, which wascalled "the nation's most glamorous theater" by Clive Barnes in The New York Post and brings full orchestralperformances to five other venues across thestate: State Theatre in New Brunswick,Richardson Auditorium in Princeton, Count BasieTheatre in Red Bank, bergenPAC in Englewoodand Mayo Performing Arts Center in Morristown.

As the state’s largest performing artsorganization, the Orchestra reaches more than120,000 people each year through concerts,education and community engagement activitiesand other events. Concertgoers create asignificant economic impact through ticket sales, expenditures in local restaurants, parking garages andshops, which contribute to the overall health of the state’s diverse communities.

At the New Jersey State Council on the Arts 2013 Annual Meeting, it was reported that across 2012-2013,New Jersey arts organizations spent $200 million in the state’s private economy, accounted for 17,000 jobsand created 37,000 events that reached 5 million patrons. More than half the population of New Jerseyattended arts events or visited an arts institution in 2012-2013. Over and above the price of admission,

NEW JERSEY SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA BACKGROUNDER | 8

those patrons spent an average of $25, including restaurants, shopping and parking, which added $125million in economic activity around participation in the arts.

Personal Impact

The New Jersey Symphony Orchestra’s mission and vision statements both center around the key words of“community” and “relationship.” The zeal to fulfill its mission of enriching lives through music permeates theentire institution; those two key words form the very foundation of its efforts. The Development team hasbuilt deep and genuine relationships with donors and supporters in all its performance communities. TheNJSO’s new El Sistema-inspired school program CHAMPS is noteworthy for the intensely personal nature ofits musical instruction and peer-to-peer interaction, both of which foster life skills in the student-participantsthat extend well beyond the technical aspect of learning music. The musicians of the Orchestra regularly visitvenue lobbies during intermissions so that curious concert goers can ask questions – and even gingerlytouch a key or a string. Concert goers are welcomed personally into the NJSO family, while NJSO Accents,pre- and post-concert events designed to bring audience members closer to the music and musicians, throwopen the doors to niche and diverse audience groups while offering core audiences even greaterengagement opportunities. And underscoring these efforts is the sure knowledge that great music,passionately performed, can create relationships, build community and ultimately touch lives.

NJSO Music Director

Current Music Director Jacques Lacombe will complete his six-year tenure as Music Director of the NJSO inthe 2015-16 season. An international search to identify the next music director is currently underway.

NJSO Leadership

New Jersey Symphony Orchestra President & CEO James Roe’s robust 30-yearcareer in classical music is animated by his belief that music has the power toconnect people and transform lives.

When he became President & CEO of the NJSO in 2013, Roe was at theforefront of a growing cohort of new arts leaders around the country whomoved directly from being professional musicians in an orchestra to assumingleadership of the organization in senior management; both The New York Timesand Symphony featured Roe as a key member of this industry trend. Roe ispassionate about engaging audiences with innovative and thought-provoking

concert experiences, and providing the people of the Garden State access to the Orchestra’s music andmusicians is a pillar of his vision for the NJSO.

Under his leadership, the Orchestra has inaugurated multiple initiatives to serve a wider body of audiencesacross the state, stressing participation, interaction and relevance to both individuals and communities. Inthe 2014–15 season, the Orchestra launched its signature audience engagement program, NJSO Accents. Inthe first year of the program, more than 50 events drew more than 7,000 audience members intoparticipatory events before and after NJSO concerts. NJSO Accents have garnered national media attention,including feature stories on NPR’s “All Things Considered” and in The Wall Street Journal. In July 2014, theNJSO established the Edward T. Cone Composition Institute for young and emerging composers atPrinceton University, an immersive educational opportunity for exciting young talents. Entering its fourthseason, the Orchestra’s el Sistema-inspired music education program, NJSO CHAMPS (Character,Achievement and Music Project), has meaningfully extended its reach to provide student participants witheven greater musical and social experiences; the NJSO was a key leader in the formation of the El SistemaNew Jersey Alliance—a partnership with five sister programs across the state that is the first of its kind in theUnited States.

The 2014–15 season welcomed star violinist Sarah Chang for a multifaceted two-week residency sponsoredby Bank of America; Chang performed with the Orchestra in all six of the NJSO’s venues and held educationevents and masterclasses with members of NJSO CHAMPS and the NJSO Youth Orchestras. Across theseason, the NJSO saw a rise in overall attendance, with first-time symphony attendance up more than 50%.Beginning in the 2015–16 season, the Orchestra expands its pops series to five programs and adds a thirdperformance venue to the series. In a three-organization partnership, the NJSO will join NJ Ballet and theMayo Performing Arts Center for 14 Nutcracker performances in December 2015.

Beyond the Orchestra’s artistic, educational and audience-engagement efforts, Roe is focused on buildingfinancial stability and sustainability for the NJSO. His first season saw record fundraising and included thedevelopment and launch of a major-gifts program. The NJSO’s sophisticated planned-giving program hasgarnered national attention through its Centennial Legacy Challenge. In just more than two years, thisprogram has raised $1,000,000 in challenge money for the Annual Fund that has been matched by nearly$10,000,000 in planned gifts for the Orchestra’s endowment. 2014 marked the first year of an innovativetwo-year partnership between PSEG and the NJSO to support the company’s diversity and inclusion goals.As part of the partnership, the NJSO will present community residencies in two cities, Jersey City andPlainfield.

Press Quotes:

“The spirit of community at the most recent New Jersey Symphony Orchestra concert wasclear from the first performance, which was not scheduled on the program. Before the expected musicbegan, NJSO associate conductor Gemma New introduced one of the young musicians with whom orchestramembers spend their Saturdays as part of the ensemble’s educational initiatives. Flutist Sean Maron, aneighth grader and winner of the Youth Orchestra’s Concerto Competition, gave an impressive account ofChaminade’s Concertino for Flute and Piano with principal flutist Bart Feller accompanying.”

— The Star-Ledger, March 24, 2015

“It was an honor to be in the hall for the astonishing performance of the Busoniconcerto by [Marc-André] Hamelin, the orchestra and the chorus. In this audacious work Busoni synthesizeslate Romanticism, Italianate melody and dance (including a crazed tarantella), Wagnerian harmony,exploratory late Liszt, anticipations of modernism. What came through in this stunning performance was thesheer exuberance of Busoni’s daring.”

— The New York Times, May 11, 2012

“It has been six years since Carnegie Hall was a place for Jersey pride, but the New Jersey SymphonyOrchestra more than made up for lost time, playing at the Spring for Music festival on Wednesday. Thefestival awards North American orchestras for adventurous programming and for his Carnegie Hall debut,music director Jacques Lacombe delivered not only bold, intelligent choices, but also sure-handedperformances … What may have been most heartening, though, was the response of the hometownaudience—not just cheering on its team, but giving accolades to deserving music, relishing its challengesand its rewards.”

— The Star-Ledger, May 11, 2012

“Mr. Lacombe and the New Jersey Symphony, who roam the state tirelessly … gave gritty, attractiveperformances [with guest pianist Marc-André Hamelin].”

— The New York Times, June 8, 2015

“[The New Jersey Symphony Orchestra] reminded us that the power of live symphonic music—when playedto this level of excellence—is a vital treasure.”

“NJSO’s strongly entrenched artistry blazes, both in familiar warhorse repertory and in works new to them.They are up to any challenge and acquit themselves like the seasoned professionals they are. Somehow theyhave avoided the staidness that sets in with some longevous arts organizations, but continually purvey theirmusical wares in ways ever fresh, ardent, exhilarating.”

— Examiner.com, April 26, 2015

“The New Jersey Symphony Orchestra hosts several ‘salon’ performances in homes around the state a fewtimes a year. Because the orchestra appears in many venues, the salons allow them to connect with theirvarious audiences, Pachucki said. Each event features a performance by a duo or quartet from the orchestra,while a mix of donors, trustees, subscribers and new audience members are usually invited. No one pays toattend—and, thanks to a supporter standing in as host, the NJSO’s costs are largely limited to paying themusicians—and whole affair is intended to engage audiences more deeply.”
