These performances welcomed a total of 18,838 patrons of all ages. Season highlights included the world premiere of Pius Cheungs Hibiki (Colors of Resonance), a marimba concerto commissioned by ESA and performed by Eriko Daimo; the world premiere of Michael Djupstroms Symphony No. 1, concluding a joint commissioning project with the Santa Rosa Symphony; and the regional premiere of Wynton Marsaliss Violin Concerto featuring Bella Hristova. ESA also completed its three-year production of Wagners Tristan und Isolde, with soloists Nina Warren, Roy C. Smith, Gary Simpson, and Ola Rafala. Additionally, ESA reprised David Schiffs multimedia work Prefontaine (an ESA commission), recording it for future commercial release. The season featured numerous Oregon and ESA premieres, including Schiffs Stomp Re-lit; Handels Harp Concerto with Chloe Tula; Vivaldis Violin Concerto in E Minor with Searmi Park; and works by Hildur Gunadttir, Nina Shekhar, Scott Joplin, and Fanny Mendelssohn-Hensel. Audiences also enjoyed beloved repertoire such as Rachmaninovs Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini; Dvorks Cello Concerto with Oliver Herbert; Beethovens Symphony No. 7; and Tchaikovskys Symphony No. 6 ("Pathtique") led by guest conductor Vinay Parameswaran. Additional performances included Mozarts Piano Concerto No. 23 and Mendelssohns Symphony No. 3 ("Scottish") under guest conductor Melisse Brunet, and Mahlers Symphony No. 2 ("Resurrection") with the Eugene Symphony Chorus and soloists Nina Warren and Ola Rafala. The two Specials were ESAs second annual New Years Eve Celebration, featuring vocalist Halie Loren, pianist Alexandre Dossin, and a program blending orchestral favorites, jazz, and a centennial performance of Gershwins Rhapsody in Blue, and the return of Star Wars Live with Episode IV: A New Hope.This season also marked a pivotal period of transition and growth. ESA launched an international search for its next Music Director, following the conclusion of Francesco Lecce-Chongs impactful tenure. The search drew over 170 applications from around the world, reflecting ESAs reputation as a forward-looking and artistically ambitious organization. The successful candidate will join a distinguished line of past Music Directors, including Marin Alsop, Giancarlo Guerrero, and Miguel Harth-Bedoya, each of whom left a lasting legacy of artistic excellence. In January 2024, Dave Moss began his tenure as Executive Director, bringing a bold vision for growth, innovation, and deeper community engagement. With a background of internationally recognized leadership and a strong commitment to both artistic quality and financial sustainability, Moss has quickly worked to position the Symphony as a cultural leader in the region. His early efforts have focused on strategic revenue diversification, broadening audience access, and building civic partnerships to ensure ESAs continued vitality. ESA also completed negotiations on a new three-year collective bargaining agreement with its union musicians, underscoring its commitment to supporting artist growth while safeguarding the Symphonys long-term stability. Together, these initiatives reflect ESAs outsized impact, far beyond that of a typical regional orchestra of its budget size, demonstrating both artistic ambition and deep community investment. ESAs Education and Community Engagement (EdCE) programs included two Youth Concerts for students in grades 612; two culminating concerts for elementary students in the Link Up program; open master classes with guest artists; visiting artist residencies; and pre-concert lectures. These initiatives were expected to serve an additional 14,500 participants throughout Greater Eugene. 2323092 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true true false true false false false false false false true false false true false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true true true false false true 42 0 true 216 true true true false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false X 34 34 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 Scott Freck Executive Director 40.00 0.00 81015 0 5518 Michael Anderson Interim ED 40.00 0.00 X 28325 0 0 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 Matthew McLaughlin 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 Harriet Cherry Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Marc Carlson Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Dave Pottinger Past President 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Raymond Englander Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sue Ashton 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 Jane Eyre McDonald 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 Jessica Blaine Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Paul Roth Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Doneka Scott 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 Karalyn Walker Sprung 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 Sharron Smith 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 109340 5518 0 true false false 0 116734 1133231 914542 2164507 Program Service Revenue 711130 762810 762810 762810 9604 9604 0 0 0 0 94764 116734 49214 45550 0 0 Advertising 19452 19452 Other Income 711130 120220 120220 139672 3122143 883030 19452 9604 26938 26938 0 0 0 96188 96188 0 1582513 1291811 137199 153503 15570 4964 5532 5074 80426 54895 25531 126059 97982 28077 0 0 0 0 0 0 91070 20150 70920 142723 131642 11081 21211 5104 8035 8072 0 0 314799 261121 53678 0 0 4356 4356 0 0 5646 122 5524 25087 1300 23787 Guest Conductors & Artists 205514 205514 Other Production Costs 88278 88278 Miscellaneous 58507 12663 4026 41818 Equipment 46071 9890 36181 148922 110718 38204 3079878 2323092 537238 219548 20455 0 381184 636475 46250 41250 56813 61696 0 0 0 0 104017 48552 314601 300981 17509 13620 0 0 0 116972 61714 27590 27590 770790 890897 49002 119444 53500 116091 118721 63530 221223 299065 X 482817 466613 66750 125219 549567 591832 770790 890897 42265 X false true X true false X 2180511 2913599 2050726 1775119 2164507 11084462 866241 12091 590476 833556 902482 3204846 0 0 0 3046752 2925690 2641202 2608675 3066989 14289308 10008 14250 24258 39034 387554 107910 198463 59861 792822 49042 387554 107910 198463 74111 817080 13472228 1554 320 616 11254 9604 23348 0 1554 320 616 11254 9604 23348 0 0 3048306 2926010 2641818 2619929 3076593 14312656 0.94130 0.93760 0.00160 0.00110 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1894 1894 312707 300981 11726 13620 Operating Lease Liability 63530 63530 X 3136548 14405 14405 3122143 3122143 3094283 14405 14405 3079878 3079878 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.
