THE PHILADELPHIA ORCHESTRA
The Philadelphia Orchestra is one of the preeminent orchestras in the world, renowned for its distinctive sound, desired for its keen ability to capture the hearts and imaginations of audiences, and admired for a legacy of imagination and innovation on and off the concert stage. The Orchestra is inspiring the future and transforming its rich tradition of achievement, sustaining the highest level of artistic quality, but also challenging—and exceeding—that level, by creating powerful musical experiences for audiences at home and around the world.
Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin’s connection to the Orchestra’s musicians has been praised by both concertgoers and critics since his inaugural season in 2012. Under his leadership the Orchestra returned to recording, with four celebrated CDs on the prestigious Deutsche Grammophon label, continuing its history of recording success. The Orchestra also reaches thousands of listeners on the radio with weekly broadcasts on WRTI-FM and SiriusXM.
Philadelphia is home and the Orchestra continues to discover new and inventive ways to nurture its relationship with its loyal patrons at its home in the Kimmel Center, and also with those who enjoy the Orchestra’s area performances at the Mann Center, Penn’s Landing, and other cultural, civic, and learning venues. The Orchestra maintains a strong commitment to collaborations with cultural and community organizations on a regional and national level, all of which create greater access and engagement with classical music as an art form.
The Philadelphia Orchestra serves as a catalyst for cultural activity across Philadelphia’s many communities, building an offstage presence as strong as its onstage one. With Nézet-Séguin, a dedicated body of musicians, and one of the nation’s richest arts ecosystems, the Orchestra has launched its HEAR initiative, a portfolio of integrated initiatives that promotes Health, champions music Education, eliminates barriers to Accessing the Orchestra, and maximizes impact through Research. The Orchestra’s award-winning Collaborative Learning programs engage over 50,000 students, families, and community members through programs such as PlayINs, side-by-sides, PopUP concerts, free Neighborhood Concerts, School Concerts, and residency work in Philadelphia and abroad.
Through concerts, tours, residencies, presentations, and recordings, the Orchestra is a global cultural ambassador for Philadelphia and for the U.S. Having been the first American orchestra to perform in the People’s Republic of China, in 1973 at the request of President Nixon, the ensemble today boasts five-year partnerships with Beijing’s National Centre for the Performing Arts and the Shanghai Media Group. In 2018 the Orchestra traveled to Europe and Israel and this past May returned to China. The Orchestra annually performs at Carnegie Hall while also enjoying summer residencies in Saratoga Springs and Vail.

Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) journeys to the mysterious, marshy planet of Dagobah, where the wise Jedi Master Yoda teaches the young hero the ways of the Force.

JOHN WILLIAMS
In a career spanning more than five decades, John Williams has become one of America’s most accomplished and successful composers for film and for the concert stage, and he remains one of our nation’s most distinguished and contributive musical voices. He has composed the music and served as music director for more than 100 films, including all eight Star Wars films, the first three Harry Potter films, Superman, JFK, Born on the Fourth of July, Memoirs of a Geisha, Far and Away, The Accidental
Tourist, Home Alone, and The Book Thief. His 45-year artistic partnership with director Steven Spielberg has resulted in many of Hollywood’s most acclaimed and successful films, including Schindler’s List, E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial, Jaws, Jurassic Park, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, the Indiana Jones films, Munich, Saving Private Ryan, The Adventures of Tintin, War Horse, Lincoln, The BFG, and The Post. His contributions to television music include scores for more than 200 television films for the groundbreaking, early anthology series Alcoa Theatre, Kraft Television Theatre, Chrysler Theatre, and Playhouse 90, as well as themes for NBC Nightly News (“The Mission”), NBC’s Meet the Press, and the PBS arts showcase Great Performances. He also composed themes for the 1984, 1988, and 1996 Summer Olympic Games and the 2002 Winter Olympic Games.
Mr. Williams has received five Academy Awards® and 51 Oscar® nominations, making him the Academy’s most-nominated living person and the second-most nominated person (after Walt Disney) in the history of the Oscars. He has received seven British Academy Awards (BAFTA), 24 Grammys®, four Golden Globes®, five Emmys®, and numerous gold and platinum records. In 2003 he received the Olympic Order (the IOC’s highest honor) for his contributions to the Olympic movement. He received the prestigious Kennedy Center Honors in December 2004. In 2009 he was inducted into the American Academy of Arts & Sciences and received the National Medal of Arts, the highest award given to artists by the U.S. Government. In 2016 he received the 44th Life Achievement Award from the American Film Institute— the first time in its history that this honor was bestowed upon a composer.
In January 1980 Mr. Williams was named 19th music director of the Boston Pops Orchestra, succeeding the legendary Arthur Fiedler. He currently holds the title of laureate conductor, which he assumed following his retirement in December 1993. He also holds the title of artist-in-residence at Tanglewood. Mr. Williams has composed numerous works for the concert stage, among them two symphonies and concertos commissioned by several of the world’s leading orchestras, including a Cello Concerto for the Boston Symphony, a bassoon concerto for the New York Philharmonic, a Trumpet Concerto for the Cleveland Orchestra, and a Horn Concerto for the Chicago Symphony. In 2009 he composed and arranged Air and Simple Gifts especially for the first inaugural ceremony of President Barack Obama.

Just as so many great artists have shared their talents with our Mann family, our extraordinary Executive Vice President for Institutional Advancement, Nancy R. Newman, has dazzled us with her own great performances. Whether producing a blockbuster gala, leading a major campaign, or just making sure every patron feels right at home when they step through the gates onto the Mann’s beautiful campus, Nancy has left an indelible mark on our institution’s storied history.
Throughout Nancy’s tenure, she has been a tireless champion for protecting and improving the Mann’s stunning 20-acre campus. Much of the beauty of our natural park setting, including the various gardens and thoughtfully placed artwork, are the result of Nancy’s careful stewardship of this exceptional asset.
Having announced her retirement at the conclusion of her 20th season in 2019, grateful supporters and friends have initiated a special effort to create a permanent endowment fund in Nancy’s name at the Mann. Investment proceeds generated through this fund will benefit projects at the Mann that support Nancy’s lifelong interests in gardening, music, and art.
We are delighted to recognize those who have made a generous gift in Nancy’s honor:
