Isaiah Sheffer led Symphony Space from the day he and Allan Miller opened the doors for Wall to Wall Bach on January 7, 1978, until June 2010 when we cele-brated his transition from Artistic Director to Founding Artistic Director at Isaiah Fest. Isaiah continued to direct Selected Shorts, the Thalia Follies, All Write!, and Bloomsday on Broadway, and enthralled audi-ence members, colleagues, artists, and many others for the next two seasons. Isaiah passed away on November 9, 2012. Hundreds of friends gathered for a memorial celebration at Symphony Space on December 17 to pay tribute to Isaiah. Many more remembered him by writing their memories, reflections, and stories at symphonyspace.org/Isaiah. Here are a just a few of them:

“Like many others who have experi-

enced hundreds of hours of plea-

sure thanks to Isaiah’s and Allan’s

vision and to those who have

labored to realize it, I am grateful

for what they achieved. It won’t be

the same to enter that theater at

95th & Broadway without Isaiah’s

warm greeting. But the best tribute

will be for all involved to continue

to celebrate shorts and music and

dance and political cabaret and film

and kids programs.”

–Susan Beckerman, Member

“One of the many

performances

Isaiah directed me

in was John Sayles,

‘At the Anarchist’s

Convention’. It

still remains, to

this day, my best

work as an actor.

Thank you Isaiah, for this gift.”–Jerry Stiller, Actor

“He personified why I love to support Symphony Space—the love of all

things creative, the celebration of so many people with such diverse backgrounds and passions, who all

have something important to add to the mix. And all with humor! And even love. He made the world a

smaller, more humane place. I always leave Symphony Space feeling more optimistic about life than I did

going in. That’s Isaiah’s spirit.”

–Judith Rivkin, Member

“That he conceived of, fought

heroically for, and directed an

extraordinary cultural institution

that has enriched the city and,

through radio broadcasts and

live productions in many cities,

the entire nation is a wonderful

legacy… He was as charming

and funny a host during exhorta-

tions for funds as he was during

sing-a-longs. He personified the

creative drive that sustains New York City and nourishes us all.”

–Sonja Noring, Member

Symphony Space thrives on a rich history while embracing a future filled with new artists and growing

international recognition. In the 2011/2012 season, signature programs of Bloomsday on Broadway, Selected Shorts, and Wall to Wall remained stalwart audience favorites, while recently established programs such as

Uptown Showdown, The Music of Now and the annual Spring Festival (Sonidos in 2011, Gertrude’s Paris in

2012, and Harlem Resonance in 2013) have broadened the scope of the organization and attracted press and

new audiences.

Symphony Space’s presence extends far beyond the New York metro area—the 2011/2012 season also saw

the introduction of the Symphony Space Live app, nine Shorts on Tour performances, a geographic expan-

sion of the Global Arts education program, and an increased number of supporters across the country. We

share highlights of the 2011/2012 season in this Annual Report.

The spring festival, Gertrude’s Paris, culminating with our annual free marathon Wall to Wall cele-bration on May 5, explored the rich and provoca-tive intellectual and cultural world of Paris in the first half of the 20th century, during which time Gertrude Stein’s home—and her famous salons—served as the hub for a thriving artistic commu-nity that helped define modernism and the avant garde in music, literature and the visual arts. Gertrude’s Paris was offered as a complement to the Metropolitan Music of Art’s 2012 exhibi-tion, “The Steins Collect: Matisse, Picasso and the Parisian Avant Garde.”

Symphony Space’s music season emphasizes the work of contemporary American composers. The Music of Now is our season-long commitment to the work of living American composers, including February’s marathon, which kicked off the third annual city-wide Composers Now festival. The spring Festival, Gertrude’s Paris, paid tribute to the work of the period and historical gathering place that marked a coming-of-age for influential twentieth-century American composers, including Aaron Copland, Virgil Thomson, Paul Bowles, and George Gershwin.

M US I CM US I CM US I C

The Music of Now encompassed programs as diverse as:

• Portals: An Exploration of Longing in the Digital Age, featuring violinist Tim Fain in a multi-media evening with works by Aaron Jay Kernis, Nico Muhly, Lev Zhurbin, Kevin Puts, William Bolcom and, at the center-piece, Philip Glass.

• Liaisons: Re-imagining Sondheim for the Piano, with works by David Rakowski, Paul Moravec, Jake Heggie, Steve Reich, Adam Guettel, Tania León, Fred Hersch, Annie Gosfield, Daniel Bernard Roumain and others.

• And, throughout the season, new works by Sebastian Currier, Judith Shatin, Mari Kimura, Shulamit Ran, David Leisner, William Bolcom, Trevor Gureckis, Steven Stucky, Richard Danielpour, Fernando Otero, John Duffy and David Del Tredici, whose 75th birthday is celebrated on our stage.

L I T E R AT U R EL I T E R AT U R EThrough Selected Shorts, Symphony Space’s Peter Jay Sharp stage hosts the greatest talents of theatre, film, and television, as they read iconic stories or introduce audi-ences to new works. Each Selected Shorts evening in the 2011/2012 season began with a reading of a commissioned short story by an emerging writer. Authors often join exceptional interviewers on stage to discuss the writing process. The season included evenings with Miranda July, Zadie Smith, Nathan Englander, and many others.

Selected Shorts on Tour delighted audiences across the country, making stops at Asheville, NC; Los Angeles, CA; and many cities in between.

The Thalia Book Club features intimate conversations among readers and writers, with readings of selections from the book being discussed. The 2011/2012 season welcomed authors Justin Vivian Bond, Anne Enright, Joan Didion, Jeffrey Eugenides, Julie Otsuka, Ann Patchett, Amor Towles, Julie Otsuka, and Toni Morrison. Lesley Stahl led Christopher Buckley, Robert Gottlieb, and Mike Nichols in discussion for a special celebration of the 50th Anniversary of Joseph Heller’s Catch-22.

On June 16, 2012, Symphony Space audiences again followed Leopold Bloom through Dublin in the 31st installment of Bloomsday on Broadway. Bloomsday was a favorite project of our late Founding Artistic Director, Isaiah Sheffer. While he could not attend this performance in person, Isaiah’s dedication and passion for the program shone as he prepped the cast and literature team over the phone as they led up to June 16th. Isaiah partnered with Music Curator Lisa Flanagan and Music Director Lanny Meyers to create an evening that highlighted the musical mentions in Ulysses, with scattered performances throughout the readings.

UPTOWN SHOWDOWN

The inaugural season of the new comedy debate series, Uptown Showdown, got off to a great start with sold-out shows to what New York Magazine dubbed as 2012’s Best Comedy Show. In teams of three, comedy stars like Michael Showalter, A.D. Miles, Julie Klausner, Dave Hill, Michael Ian Black, and others weighed the pros and cons of such serious issues as Cats vs. Dogs, Old Hollywood vs New Hollywood, Fashion vs. Comfort, and Day vs. Night.

FA M I LYFA M I LYFA M I LYThe Thalia Kids Book Club brings enthusiastic readers, ages 9-12, together with writers they admire. The celebrated event of the 2011/2012 season was the 50th anniversary of Madeleine L’Engel’s classic A Wrinkle in Time, with author guests Rebecca Stead, Katherine Patterson, and Lois Lowry. Each summer, the Thalia Book Club Camp welcomes voracious readers to Symphony Space to enjoy field trips, book discussions, and writing exercises led by authors. One camper described the experience as an “awesome place to make friends, learn, have fun, and meet authors all at the same time!”

Every Saturday from October to April, families come to Symphony Space to enjoy quality Just Kidding programs. Just Kidding is dedicated to presenting entertaining family acts at affordable prices, and also strives to bring artists from across the country to perform here on the Upper West Side. Symphony Space gives many burgeoning artists the oppor-tunity to make their east coast premieres, and helps them make connections at other venues to make their trips economically viable and expand their fan bases. Dan Zanes, Elizabeth Mitchell, and Tom Chapin credit Just Kidding as an important launching point for their family music careers. The 2011/2012 season included, among many wonderful acts, Grammy-nominated artists Elizabeth Mitchell, the Pop Ups, and The Okee Dokee Brothers. And Symphony Space was pleased to support a Just Kidding favorite, The Gustafer Yellowgold Show, with funding from the Isaiah Fund for New Initiatives that allowed them to bring in full orchestration for their February performance.

The Thalia Follies political cabaret took on the primary and the race to the White House as Isaiah Sheffer, Martin Sage, and Lanny Meyers teamed up with the Follies cast, delighting audiences with humorous skits and songs at the expense of elected officials.

The Thalia’s renowned history as a haven for film aficionados continues, with audiences enjoying docu-mentary films such as Being Elmo; Eames: The Architect and The Painter; and Bill Cunningham New York on Thalia Film Sundays. The Thalia Film Club hosted actor/director Ralph Fiennes as he discussed his film directorial debut—in which he starred—a modern day adaptation of Shakespeare’s Coriolanus. Audiences also enjoyed a preview of Meryl Streep’s acclaimed performance as Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady.

All Write! serves adult literacy students throughout the five boroughs, and recently expanded upstate. The program begins with stories by published authors, read by accomplished actors onstage at Symphony Space, and ends with a performance of student works, read by the professional actors. The students leave the theatre with a book of their writings. The May 2012 collection includes stories and poems about learning to navigate the subway, a girl discovering her sister’s secret talent for sewing, and about returning to school as an adult.

All Write! partners with roughly 50 adult literacy programs across New York City, and has been featured on the website of the Mayor's Office of Adult Education as an excellent example of collaboration between the Adult Education and Cultural communities.
