History of the Endowment

In 1985, the seeds of the Greensboro Symphony Endowment Fund (GSEF) were planted
by Symphony Guild President, Rachel Hull Galyon. Under her leadership, the Guild raised an
additional $50,000 during the 1985-1986 season to contribute toward endowing the $250,000
Concertmasters Chair, completed in 1995, marking the official launch of the GSEF. The leadership
torch was passed to Guild member, Caroline M. Lee, who devoted more than twenty years to the
development and growth of the fund. In 1995, Guild member Kay Edwards and GSO Board Mem-
ber, Maurice Jennings, launched a successful campaign to surpass the GSEFs $1 million milestone.
During the 2001-2002 season, the fund surpassed $2.5 million with a special initiative spear-
headed by Caroline Lee. In 2001, Barbara Cone led a secret campaign undertaken by Endowment
donors to establish the Associate Concertmasters Chair in honor of Caroline M. Lee. Since 2006,
Cathy and Garson Rice have served as co-chairs of the Endowment Committee. The Greensboro
Symphony Endowment Fund celebrated its 25th Anniversary in 2012 with assets totaling over
$4,000,000 and is currently valued at over $4.5 million dollars.
A special $25,000 gift was given to celebrate the Endowments 25th Anniversary in 2011 to be
used for development and marketing resources. During the 2015-2016 season, a distribution of
$160,000 was made to the Symphony for its annual operating budget, received in January 2016.
CAROLINE M. LEE ASSOCIATE CONCERTMASTERS CHAIR

Caroline Lee tirelessly led the Greensboro Symphony Endowment Fund for more then twenty
years. To honor her years of service and the remarkable growth of the Fund, the Guild and
Symphony friends honored Caroline by endowing the Associate Concertmasters Chair in 2001.

Music Education Transforms Lives
A Message from Greensboro Symphony Guild President, Sharon Kasica
It is with tremendous excitement that the Greensboro Symphony Guild welcomes the Greensboro
Symphony Orchestras 2016-2017 Season. The Masterworks and Chamber Series, under the direction
of Maestro Dmitry Sitkovetsky, will delight patrons with beautiful music from some of the worlds
greatest composers. The POPS Series, under the direction of Resident Conductor Nate Beversluis, will
showcase music loved by the masses, from holiday and Broadway favorites to rock and roll and Academy
Award winning scores.
Music Education Transforms Lives, our theme for 2016-2017, reflects the Greensboro Symphony
Guild's work in support of music education and appreciation in our community. Since our founding in
1964, we have raised more than $2,000,000 for the Greensboro Symphonys endowment and music
education programs. We are proud that our volunteer and fundraising efforts have been recognized and
honored by the League of American Orchestras and by President Ronald Reagan, who in 1985 awarded
the Guild the Presidents Volunteer Action Award. Each year our efforts touch the lives of more than
2016-2017 50,000 students in the Triad. This year we will continue the Guild Education Fund to assist students in
Executive Committee financial need with costs of music instruction and tuition.
In 2016-2017 the Greensboro Symphony Guilds primary focus will be on Community Outreach
President and Collaboration. This year we are striving to grow our organization through community outreach
Sharon Kasica
efforts to attract more diverse members. A large, diverse organization is vital to the future support of
President Elect the Greensboro Symphony and to the success of the planned Tanger Center for Performing Arts. Please
Dorry Tooke plan to attend one of our New Member Socials for the opportunity to get to know our members while
enjoying a cocktail reception and entertainment.
VP Education On September 24, 2016, our first annual fundraiser, Feast and Follies, kicked off the year in
Olivia Gillespie spectacular fashion with a performing arts showcase in the new LeBauer Park in downtown Greensboro.
The showcase was made possible through a collaboration between the Greensboro Opera, performing
VP Fundraising Bizets Carmen; the Greensboro Ballet, performing A Midsummer Nights Dream; and the Greensboro
Kim Jones Symphony, with performances by vocalists Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Crupi and Giannani Brass ensemble.
The evening began with a cocktail hour and silent auction, followed by a seated dinner and one hour
VP Marketing performance in the amphitheater on the great lawn in LeBauer Park. It was a very memorable night!
Ann Mueller
The remainder of our year promises to be equally exciting with a variety of fun and affordable
VP Operations events. Please take a moment to review the Guilds Calendar of Events so you may join us. Each year
Laura Green our success is made possible through the generous support of our corporate and individual sponsors.

Tobee Wynne Kaplan
Tonights concert is performed in loving memory
of Tobee Wynne Kaplan, a devoted wife, mother,
grandmother, and philanthropist, as well as a steadfast
friend of the Greensboro Symphony family.
Tobee was beloved for her graciousness, strength of spirit, positive approach to life and incredible generosity to her community. A
longtime donor and subscriber to the Symphony, Tobee and her husband, Leonard, were bedrocks of Greensboros arts community,
recently making a leadership gift toward the Steven Tanger Center for the Performing Arts, the future home of the Symphony, and
paving the way for further philanthropy from other city leaders. Her legacy will live on, not only through the countless structures and
programs she helped to build, but in the memories of those she loved and who loved her.
Thank you, Tobee, for the gift of music you have given to so many in our community.
You will be deeply missed.

Flute Quartet No.1 in Mozart wrote numerous chamber works, four of which are for Allegro
D major, K.285 flute, violin, viola, and cello. The first three were composed in 1777- Adagio
78 on commission by the amateur flutist, Ferdinand De Jean. The Rondeau
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart fourth was probably written in 1786 or 1787 without a commission.
(1756-1791) Flute Quartet, No.1, performed tonight, is often considered the Debra Reuter-Pivetta, flute

In the late 18th and 19th centuries, the key of C minor was often Gizem Yucel, viola

ended with uplifting music, sometimes in C major. A few of these
works are Mozarts Piano Concerto No.24 and Mass in C minor,

The Trio is the composers only music for violin, cello, and piano.
Tchaikovskys letters to his patroness, Nadezhda von Meck, show
his changing attitudes towards this combination of instruments. In
1880, he wrote: I simply cannot endure the combination of piano Dmitry Sitkovetsky, violin
with violin or cello. To my mind the timbre of these instruments will Alexander Ezerman, cello
not blend. The following year, he softened a little: I am thinking
of experimenting with this sort of music, which so far I have not
touched. I have already written the start of a trio. Whether I shall
finish it and whether it will come out successfully I do not know, but
I would like very much to bring what I have begun to a successful
conclusion. Finally, by 1882, he embraced the ensemble: The Trio is
finished ... now I can say with some conviction that my work is not
all bad.
