3 Mission & Areas Served Statements Mission Statement The Kansas City Symphony's vision is to transform hearts, minds and communities through the power of symphonic music, accomplished by great performances for greater audiences. Background Statement The Kansas City Symphony was founded in 1982 by R. Crosby Kemper, Jr., just months after the dissolution of the Kansas City Philharmonic. With a mission to "advance and advocate the art of classical music for the enrichment of the community," Serving a metropolitan population of 2.1 million people, the Kansas City Symphony has grown steadily under the leadership of its artistic directors, Russell Patterson ( ), William McGlaughlin ( ), Anne Manson ( ) and Michael Stern (2005-present). The orchestra's 80 full-time musicians are area residents and perform during a 42-week season. Every Symphony season includes a variety of subscription, educational, and community engagement concerts. The ensemble serves as the orchestra for the Lyric Opera of Kansas City, the Kansas City Ballet, and Symphony in the Flint Hills. The orchestra currently offers 42 performances of 14 different programs on the Classical Series. Additional offerings include a Pops Series, Family Series, Classics Uncorked Series, Film + Live Orchestra Series, holiday concerts, chamber music programs and numerous special concerts. The Symphony is governed by a 28-member board of directors and administered by a full-time staff of 35. The Symphony's four auxiliaries, with total membership around 700, raise more than $1 million annually, making it one of the most successful orchestra volunteer forces in the nation. From a budget of $1.5 million in its first season, the Symphony's annual operating budget has grown to nearly $19 million. Each year the Symphony reaches more than 60,000 area children and teachers through our education programs and many others through our regular concerts. The Symphony's education activities include specially programmed youth concerts for area elementary students and open rehearsals for middle school and high school students. Other activities include school residency presentations, free masterclasses with visiting guest artists, the musical instrument petting zoo, an annual Young Artist Competition and our Support School Music program which has raised more than $165,000 for 16 public school music programs in the metro area. We are also pleased to partner with other organizations in serving the community. Collaborative endeavors include programs with the UMKC Conservatory of Music and Dance, Youth Symphony of Kansas City, KCPT, and University Academy. Impact Statement The Kansas City Symphony strives to reach people of every age, income level, cultural background, and level of past exposure to orchestral music. Our seventh season in Helzberg Hall at the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts was inspiring. Guest artists Yo-Yo Ma and Joyce DiDonato, among many others, gave memorable performances. We presented the world premiere of Chris Rogerson's "It Became Dark" as well as performances of Berlioz's mesmerizing "Symphonie fantastique." The season celebrated Leonard Bernstein's centennial with several concerts featuring his music. The 160-member Symphony Chorus sounded superb in performances with the Symphony, including Bernstein's "Chichester Psalms" and Brahms' "German Requiem." The Classics Uncorked, Film + Live Orchestra, and Happy Hour series all met with tremendous success, drawing large crowds of first-time concertgoers. Several special programs generated excitement, including Audra McDonald, Queen's Greatest Hits, and the Canadian Brass. In February, we continued the Harry Potter series with four performances of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets." Education and community engagement programs reached more than 60,000 children and teachers from 317 schools in 59 districts in 86 Missouri and Kansas communities. The Symphony's varied programs continued to have broad appeal; last season, audience members came from 48 states, the District of Columbia, and 11 countries. Overall ticket revenue posted a record and contributed revenue neared $8 million in annual fund support. Recent studies show that the Symphony has a $24 million impact on the region, supporting 534 FTE jobs and generating $1.9 million in state and local tax revenue. Our transformative mission requires excellence and dedication. We are committed to this journey as we serve our community and the region. 3

4 Needs Statement The Kansas City Symphony is committed to ensuring that the experience of live performance is accessible to people throughout our diverse community by keeping ticket prices affordable. Because ticket sales cover only a fraction of the cost of a Symphony performance, the bulk of the Symphony's program and operating costs are funded by the generous support of foundation, individual and corporate donors. Every contribution, no matter the size, is important to the financial well-being of the Symphony and our ability to serve the community. CEO/Executive Director/Board Chair Statement We are incredibly fortunate to have so many opportunities in our community to enjoy the arts. The Symphony is integral to the "arts ecology" in our region and is committed to its leadership role., we must continue to face the significant challenges of broadening donor support while building new audiences and bringing back previous audiences, but there are clear signs that our community values the Symphony and the standard of excellence it has come to represent. In the midst of ongoing economic difficulties for states and our national government, the Symphony and all arts organizations have an important role to maintain our cultural infrastructure. Whether through one-on-one conversations or taking the opportunity at group meetings to tell our story, we must focus on the viability of arts organizations for the long-term. We must expand the donor base for our great resident orchestra -- musicians who live here, pay taxes, teach our children and bring economic stimulus to our region. We must make difficult choices as we steward this important public trust, but our commitment to excellence and the people involved is unwavering. The generosity of individual and foundation donors has enabled the Symphony to sustain fiscal responsibility and balance. Naturally, it continues to be a priority for the Board of Directors to identify new donors and to seek continuing and increasing support from existing contributors. It is more important than ever that the Symphony diversify its economic base without compromising the tremendous strides in artistic development that have taken place in recent years. The Symphony's Board of Directors represents a broad cross-section of our community with each director committed to the challenges ahead. Through the support of many generous donors and the incredible leadership of Music Director Michael Stern, we have experienced great artistic growth of our orchestra. Our attendance is strong and performing in Helzberg Hall at the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts is a dream come true. We are deeply grateful to all those who play a part in making the Kansas City Symphony flourish.

5 While the majority of the Symphony's audience comes from a 150-mile radius around Greater Kansas City, an increasing number of people throughout the country are coming to Kansas City to hear the Symphony as well as enjoy other cultural offerings. In the season, the Symphony had ticket buyers from 987 communities in 49 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and eight foreign countries. 5

6 Programs Programs Concert Series Description Category The Symphony's Classical Series offers 42 performances of 14 different programs that combine timeless classics with pivotal modern works and groundbreaking contemporary pieces, mixing internationally-renowned soloists with rising stars. The four-concert Pops Series draws a diverse audience through programs offering a wide variety of musical styles and nationally-known guest performers. The Family Series consists of shorter concerts in a format that appeals to the young imagination. The free Happy Hour Series consists of several short programs designed to present an informal taste of chamber music. The Classics Uncorked Series offers orchestra concerts that explore repertoire in a casual atmosphere with the opportunity for relaxed social interaction. Our Film + Live Orchestra Series presents classic movies with the score performed live. Holiday programming includes Handel's "Messiah" and Christmas Festival. We also offer numerous special concerts each year featuring top artists. Arts, Culture & Humanities, General/Other Music Population Served General/Unspecified,, Short-Term Success Long- Term Success Program Success Monitored By The Symphony's Music Director, Michael Stern, recognized as one of the most dynamic and talented conductors of his generation, is leading the Symphony to new levels of artistic excellence and is drawing many of the most accomplished artists in classical music to appear with the Symphony. Continued ability to draw top artists and strong attendance/ticket revenue are markers of this excellence. The Symphony seeks to transform hearts, minds and our community through the power of symphonic music. The Symphony's objectives include the growth and diversification of our audience, advancing the Symphony's profile in the Kansas City area and beyond, and enhancing the orchestra's artistic achievements and financial stability. Those success indicators will mark the level of engagement and transformation achieved. The Symphony pays close attention to community response to concerts. In order to assess program impact, we conduct extensive ongoing analysis of ticket sales, constituent surveys, and individual feedback. In addition, we maintain close contact with community and business leaders throughout the region, seeking their perceptive analysis of Symphony programs. 6

7 Examples of Program Success The 2017/18 season maintained high levels of ticket revenue while accompanied by critical acclaim. Concert series averaged 95% sold with earned revenue representing 40% of expenses, an enviable ratio among symphonies. Pops series subscriptions continue to enjoy strong sales and Family series admissions are close to sold-out. Happy Hour, Classics Uncorked, and special concerts drew close to 40% first-time attendees, reflecting excellent community interest. The Symphony's recording of works by Adam Schoenberg received two Grammy nominations. Additionally, the Symphony was named as Favorite Performing Arts Organization by KC Visitors' Choice. Aurelien Boccard wrote in KC Metropolis, "The Kansas City Symphony concluded its season with this brilliant and well-crafted program, showing once again that they can tackle anything with the highest artistic excellence." 7

8 Education Description Category Symphony education programs enable thousands of students to learn, create and become inspired through orchestral music each year. Through our Instrument Petting Zoo program, thousands of pre-school and elementary children learn about the orchestra and have the opportunity to create sounds on various musical instruments. More than 20,000 young people and chaperones learn about orchestral music in our KinderKonzerts (K-3) and Young People's Concerts (grades 3-6), which are designed specifically for these age groups. More than 2,000 middle and high school students are inspired by hearing virtuosic guest artists and orchestral masterworks at the Symphony's Open Rehearsals. The highly successful Support School Music program brings the Symphony to area schools for rehearsals, classes and a performance which raises money for the school district's music programs. And we are pleased to continue offering the Carnegie Hall-designed program Link Up, an interactive music program that reaches over 9,000 elementary students and teachers each year. Petite Performances are designed for our littlest listeners, ages 0-6, introducing them to orchestral instruments in a fun, interactive program onstage at Helzberg Hall. The Symphony nurtures students of all ages through many opportunities to experience the full spectrum of orchestral music. Arts, Culture & Humanities, General/Other Music Population Served Children and Youth (0-19 years),, Short-Term Success Long- Term Success The Symphony's Education Manager works with area teachers and administrators to coordinate orchestra performances with classroom teaching activities and enhance concepts being taught in the school curriculum. The Symphony provides detailed curriculum materials to participating schools, focusing educational activities on the relevant standards. Short-term success for the Symphony's youth education programs includes increasing program participation overall and maintaining the diverse geographic distribution of participating school districts. Another goal is to provide opportunities to explore symphonic music for the increasing number of home schools in the area. We also plan to improve the Web-based program content and educational tools made available through the Symphony's website. A crucial part of the Symphony's mission is to provide students of all ages with exposure to orchestral music and the opportunity it presents for stronger self-development and classroom achievement. Music education is an essential way for students to understand the heritage of our culture as well as others, past and present. It provides experiences that open the door to a lifetime of appreciation of and engagement with the arts. Participation in music enhances students' cognitive development and their understanding and appreciation of the world around them. Students who are involved in music and the arts accomplish more in school, and participation in the arts helps at-risk children become more productive, successful adults. We envision extending participation in Symphony education programs to every student in Greater Kansas City. 8

9 Program Success Monitored By Examples of Program Success The Symphony regularly assesses program effectiveness and impact through feedback obtained from student participants, teachers, music instructors, students' families and Symphony musicians and staff. We evaluate the degree to which students experience, discover and explore the symphonic music tradition in light of programmatic objectives. This qualitative assessment relies primarily upon informal data that are not statistically controlled. Many of the Symphony's presentations are for small groups of students thus maximizing individual contact and benefit. This quantum of contact students have with Symphony musicians and the Symphony as a whole is another important evaluative consideration. The Symphony's Education Manager regularly consults teachers, school administrators, parents and students to assure that Symphony education programming best meets the needs of the communities we serve. We also measure success in terms of numbers of students, families and community members attending Surveys of teachers, parents, and administrators covering an array of curricular and logistical metrics indicate great satisfaction with programmatic success. The overall score averaged 4.62/5.00 with a 97% approval rating. Among the comments we received: The musicians played beautifully. Amanda Collins, Calhoun Public Schools "The combination of science and music was dynamite!" Patricia Smith, Shawnee Mission Schools "We are so impressed with these concerts. We bring grades 1-3 each year, and are consistently happy with our experience. Thank you so much!" Ruth Godwin, University Academy "Wonderful program! Thank you for offering so many opportunities for students to develop a love of music. We also would not be able to participate without the reduced ticket price and the Open Doors funding." Melinda Madden, Kansas City Public Schools 9

10 Community Engagement Description Category The Symphony's community engagement activities include the annual Bank of America Celebration at the Station, a free, outdoor, familyoriented concert performed during the Memorial Day weekend in front of historic Union Station that draws more than 50,000 each year and is televised across Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, and Nebraska; an annual Cabaret Concert serving the North Kansas City area; and more than 130 Community Connections concerts and programs each year in numerous locations throughout the region. In addition, recordings of performances from the Symphony's Classical Series are broadcast weekly on KCUR- FM, Kansas City's NPR-affiliated radio station. Arts, Culture & Humanities, General/Other Music Population Served General/Unspecified,, Short-Term Success Long- Term Success Program Success Monitored By Examples of Program Success The short-term success of our activities is evidenced by an increased demand for high-quality symphonic music. Bank of America Celebration at the Station draws over 50,000 people for a tremendous civic celebration; up to 1 million people across Missouri, Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska share in the event through numerous public television broadcasts and re-broadcasts of the program. Thousands more listen to the Symphony every week on KCUR-FM, reaching a 60-mile radius around Kansas City. Community Connections served more than 13,000 people of all ages throughout the community last season. The goal of our engagement programs is to assure that people are comfortable interacting with classical music. The Symphony strives to make certain that people of every age, income level, cultural background, and level of past exposure to symphonic music will find an opportunity to engage with the Symphony. We evaluate the success of our community engagement programs through overall attendance, feedback from community organization leaders and participants, and the extent to which we assure opportunities for a new and diverse audience to experience Symphony performances of all types, thus meeting the musical needs of our community. Attendance at Celebration at the Station reflects the diversity of our community. Subsequent television rebroadcasts of the program reach 1 million people in 14 regional markets in six states. More than 140 Community Connections presentations throughout Greater Kansas City reached over 13,000 people last year. Concertgoer Malle Medina writes, "We had a wonderful time - it was just spectacular! We hold season tickets and took our grand daughter. She enjoyed it and at times we laughed and shed some tears. We had a great time!!" Concertgoer Wendy Minshall notes, "Our awesome Kansas City Symphony never ceases to amaze me!!! Tonight was no exception! :) Thank you!!!!" CEO Comments The Kansas City Symphony has recognized that in order to realize its artistic potential and to be the greatest asset for this community, we must invest in the musicians who create the sound. To that end, our board has made significant investments in the salaries of our musicians. It must remain a priority to keep these highly talented people here. With the resource of these gifted artists as full time residents of Kansas City, the entire region is enriched by their presence whether as teachers giving private instruction to students around the area, as chamber musicians who populate many performances around the region, or by having this wonderful 10

11 orchestra to perform for the Lyric Opera and Kansas City Ballet. Were the Symphony not here, such excellence in the community would simply not be possible. The Symphony seeks to broaden our engagement with the community through many different avenues. The Symphony has raised more than $165,000 to support public school music education through our "Support School Music" program. This is an exciting partnership where our orchestra goes to area schools and young people have the opportunity to interact with them, as well as observe an open rehearsal. The culmination of this time together is a public concert by the Symphony where all proceeds from ticket sales are donated to that district's music program. Another example of community engagement is the free public concert over Memorial Day weekend, which attracts more than 50,000 people, and is an ongoing public gift to the community. The Symphony views itself as a major resource to this community, and the scope of our activities is defined in part by available funding. Sustainable funding will allow the Symphony to continue and enhance our community presence. 11

Please note that we changed internal operating budget reporting beginning with FY18. Prior to that year, special concert presentations were reported on a net basis. Starting with FY18, special concert presentations are reported on a gross basis. We are happy to help with year-to-year comparisons. We strive to be accountable and are committed to wise stewardship of our fiscal resources. We would be pleased to review our audited financial statements and IRS Form 990 returns with you. Please contact Grant Manager Eric 20

21 Williams at or if you have questions. KCS has a significant investment in human resources and salaries/benefits constitute a large expense. We continually strive to achieve the greatest value while protecting the artistic integrity, well-being and effectiveness of our musicians and staff. We keep resources focused on programs while balancing necessary administrative and fundraising costs. We consistently devote the vast majority of resources to programs. We continue efforts to increase earned revenue without impeding financial accessibility for audiences. Even with budgets growing by 60%, earned revenue has increased from 22% to 41% of operating revenue over the past ten years. Despite market volatility, endowment income has also become a critical revenue source, providing about 12% of total operating revenue. Our auxiliaries contribute another 8%, with foundations and corporate support constituting 28% of operating revenue. We continue to increase the number of individual donors, well on our way to the target of 6,000. Broadening our support base is crucial to financial sustainability. IMPORTANT NOTES: The Symphony successfully concluded a capital endowment campaign. Total financial results for FY13 through FY17 reflect this campaign. Please see Operating column of audits for consistent comparisons.
