The season marked the final year of Music Director Francesco Lecce-Chongs transformative tenure with the Eugene Symphony and served as the centerpiece of ESAs international search for its next artistic leader. Across the season, ESA welcomed thousands of patrons to performances in Silva Concert Hall, the Soreng Theater, and community venues throughout Greater Eugene.Season highlights included the continuation of ESAs complete Beethoven Piano Concerto cycle featuring a distinguished roster of guest pianists, as well as performances by five Music Director finalists: Alexander Prior, Farkhad Khudyev, Rory Macdonald, Tania Miller, and Taichi Fukumura. Each candidate led a full subscription program, engaging deeply with orchestra musicians, audiences, donors, and the broader community throughout an extensive public search process. The search generated significant regional and national interest and represented one of the most ambitious artistic leadership transitions in ESAs history.The season balanced cornerstone orchestral repertoire with contemporary voices and audience development programming. Performances included Beethovens Piano Concertos Nos. 15; Dvorks Symphony No. 8; Tchaikovskys Symphony No. 4; Rachmaninoffs Symphony No. 2; Mussorgskys Night on Bald Mountain; Florence Prices Andante Moderato; Anna Clynes Masquerade; and works by Jennifer Higdon, Gabriela Smith, and others. The season opened with former Music Director Francesco Lecce-Chong conducting Stravinskys The Rite of Spring alongside Jennifer Higdons Violin Concerto featuring acclaimed violinist Benjamin Beilman. The season also included major audience favorites such as Music from Studio Ghibli and Star Wars Live in Concert, reflecting ESAs ongoing commitment to diversifying programming and welcoming new audiences into the concert hall.A defining artistic moment of the season was the culmination of Francesco Lecce-Chongs tenure, celebrated through performances that highlighted his adventurous programming, commitment to contemporary music, and deep connection to the Eugene community. Under his leadership, ESA continued to build a national reputation for innovative programming and meaningful audience engagement.The 2024/2025 season also marked the first full season under the leadership of Executive Director Dave Moss, who joined ESA in January 2024. Moss advanced initiatives focused on long-term financial sustainability, audience growth, digital engagement, and expanded civic partnerships. During the season, ESA emphasized revenue diversification strategies, increased marketing and media initiatives, expanded donor engagement efforts, and strengthened regional visibility throughout Lane County and beyond.In addition, ESA continued implementation of its recently negotiated three-year collective bargaining agreement with its union musicians, reinforcing the organizations commitment to artistic excellence, institutional stability, and long-term sustainability. Together, these efforts demonstrated ESAs growing role as both a leading cultural institution and a vital civic partner in Oregon. ESA also expanded its community engagement footprint significantly during the season. Education and Community Engagement (EdCE) programs included Youth Concerts serving thousands of middle and high school students; Link Up concerts for elementary school participants; free Family Musical Adventures performances in the Hult Center Lobby; artist residencies and master classes; pre-concert lectures; and partnerships with schools and community organizations across the region. Collectively, ESAs education and engagement programs were expected to serve more than 14,500 community members throughout Greater Eugene and surrounding rural communities. 2383261 true true false false false false false false false false true false false true true true false true false false false false false false true false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true true true false false true 65 0 true 197 true true true false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false X 29 29 false false false false false false false true true false false false true true true false true true true false OR X X Jennifer Clark 5416879487 115 W 8th 115 Eugene OR 97401 David Moss Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 155000 0 11907 Deborah Carver President 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Arden Olson Vice President 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Jessica Blaine Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Zachary Blalack Treasurer 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Michael Vergamini Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Marc Carlson Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Raymond Englander Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Dave Kammerer Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sarah Maggio Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Laura Diethelm Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Trieber Meador Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Eric Alterman Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Stephen Koller Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Matthew McLaughlin Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Matthew Shapiro Director 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Pamela McClure-Johnston Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Liz Tippett Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ruth Erickson Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jim Ruderman Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Catherine Jedlicka Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Connie Wonham Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Keith Potter Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Piotrek Buciarski Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Benjamin Ordonez Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Steve Robinson Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mychal Sargent Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Rebecca Sprinson Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Wayne Taubenfeld Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lydia Van Dreel Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 155000 11907 1 false true false 0 35134 337398 1427034 1799566 Program Service Revenue 711130 1014729 1014729 1014729 14065 14065 0 0 0 0 881 35134 881 0 0 0 Advertising 16960 16960 Other Income 711130 110476 110476 127436 2955796 1125205 16960 14065 0 0 0 0 170233 170233 0 1474266 1165188 150277 158801 16525 4039 7680 4806 72583 53543 19040 136122 102498 33624 0 0 14700 14700 0 0 0 81707 81034 673 213574 189543 24031 14785 2508 7958 4319 0 0 369634 311458 58176 0 0 47605 2678 44927 0 0 5767 59 5708 16326 1469 14857 Guest Conductors & Artists 318444 318444 Other Production Costs 66326 66326 Magazine Production Expenses 26494 26494 Equipment 21963 5915 16048 71375 54743 16589 43 3138429 2383261 518241 236927 0 636475 411540 41250 28573 61696 52431 0 0 0 0 48552 87583 315737 306747 13620 8990 0 0 0 61714 4818 27590 33089 890897 627024 119444 115832 116091 97024 63530 4969 299065 217825 X 466613 318260 125219 90939 591832 409199 890897 627024 -182633 X false true X true false X 2913599 2050726 1775119 2164507 1800447 10704398 12091 590476 833556 902482 1142165 3480770 0 0 0 2925690 2641202 2608675 3066989 2942612 14185168 44000 45258 27237 38350 86500 241345 387554 107910 198463 59861 108599 862387 431554 153168 225700 98211 195099 1103732 13081436 320 616 11254 9604 14065 35859 0 320 616 11254 9604 14065 35859 0 0 2926010 2641818 2619929 3076593 2956677 14221027 0.91990 0.94130 0.00250 0.00160 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1894 1894 313843 306747 7096 8990 Other assets 33089 33089 Operating Lease Liability 4969 4969 X 3053281 97485 97485 2955796 2955796 3235914 97485 97485 3138429 3138429 Part X : FIN48 Footnote The Symphony and the Foundation are exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable state law.
