BOOK

Welcome!
This year’s Bravo! Gala, Metamorphosēs, acknowledges the life-altering changes
the past fourteen months have brought to each of us. While change brings
challenge, the Board, staff and musicians of the Hartford Symphony Orchestra,
along with each of you, have used this opportunity to invent creative strategies
to maintain our spirits, our hopes and our dreams. Tonight, we celebrate silver
linings and miracles, small and great, that have helped illuminate the darkness.
The bonds between the HSO and our community that have been forged over the
past 77 seasons are enduring. We are determined to maintain and strengthen that
bond in any way we can, through the only shared space available right now—a
virtual one.
This year, we celebrate one another, and an exceptional milestone—Carolyn
Kuan’s 10th season as Music Director of the Hartford Symphony Orchestra!
Carolyn has relentlessly pursued bold visions, encouraging us to strive for
new artistic heights. With Carolyn at the helm, imparting her natural creativity,
curiosity and innovation to every project she undertakes, the Hartford Symphony
is ready to explore new pathways. Without a doubt, we will emerge miraculously
transformed.
We offer our sincere gratitude to every sponsor of Metamorphosēs and extend
special thanks to our Co-Presenting Sponsors: South Ocean Capital Partners and
Stanley Black & Decker, for their most gracious support of this evening’s event.
We also thank our dedicated and creative Gala Committee, who have worked
tirelessly to push the typical boundaries of a virtual gala to create a one-of-a-kind
experience for all our guests. Led by our incredible Co-Chairs, MaryBeth Reiss
and Gerry Lupacchino, this committee’s dedication and out-of-the-box thinking is
truly unmatched!
Is proud to support the Hartford
Symphony Orchestra
And congratulates Carolyn Kuan
on 10 incredible years
as Music Director
Finally, we want to thank everyone who is joining us this evening. Your belief in
the power of music is integral to the Hartford Symphony Orchestra’s mission: to
enrich lives and community through great music. You are part of a symphony
of supporters, helping us conduct a bright future for the Hartford Symphony
Orchestra.
Enjoy the festivities!

A LETTER FROM
MaryBeth Reiss and Gerry Lupacchino
Co-Chairs of the HSO Bravo!
Gala Committee
EVENING PROGRAM
Good evening, Friends!
Welcome to the Hartford Symphony Orchestra’s Bravo! Virtual Gala – again! When the HSO
pivoted to a virtual fundraiser for the 2020 Bravo! Gala, we were hopeful it would be a onetime
occasion. Out of an abundance of caution, we made the call to go virtual again for 2021,
with the added challenge of making the virtual experience entertaining, participatory, and
something you haven’t seen before!
While we can’t be together in one place this evening, we are excited that the musicians of
the Hartford Symphony Orchestra were able to safely gather and record their first symphony
performance in over a year. Tonight’s program is truly incredible, and we hope you all enjoy
watching as much as we enjoyed putting it together.
It has been a pleasure to serve together as Co-Chairs of such a motivated and inspired
committee, who, through their ingenuity, connections, and dedication, have helped make this
evening a success.
This virtual Gala also would not have been possible without the support and participation
of our many corporate and individual sponsors. Incredibly, we are thrilled to announce that
we exceeded our sponsorship goal for the event! This success is such a testament to the
community that surrounds the HSO. The proceeds raised from this important event help pave
the road back, allowing the HSO to support our musicians and serve all in our community.
Thank you to all of our sponsors, table hosts, ticket buyers, Fund the Transformation
contributors, and everyone else tuning in this evening in support of the Hartford Symphony
Orchestra! We also owe a special thank you to each of our local vendors and partners, listed
on page 13 of this program book. As a thank you to the community who generously supports
the HSO, it was important to the staff and Gala committee that we chose to partner with
local businesses for everything from the surprise butterfly origami kits in your meal boxes
(thank you, Hartford Prints!) to the cocktail kits sent to our out-of-town supporters, curated
by Hartford Flavor Company—plus so much more. Our community is resilient, and as we
focus on the silver linings and strive to return to normalcy, we realize that some changes are
indeed miraculous transformations.

Fund The Transformation
Help us return to our stage – and to you.
The circumstances we’ve all experienced have compelled each of us to adapt
in varying degrees. This is how we survive. Like you, the Hartford Symphony
is being transformed, and while change is a challenge, we are using the
opportunity to learn, to grow and to be better. What we desire above all is to
serve our musicians, our audiences, and our community, just as we have for 77
glorious seasons. Like the butterfly who trusts in nature as she is transformed,
we put our trust in all of YOU.
Your tax-deductible donation to Fund the Transformation helps us return
to you, to the music we love and restores our musicians to our stages. Your
generosity sustains the HSO, supports our musicians and helps us develop
creative new ways to meet the evolving needs of our broadening community.

The Hartford Symphony Orchestra
The Hartford Symphony Orchestra was founded in 1934 as a WPA project and formally established as
the Symphony Society of Greater Hartford in 1936. Angelo Coniglione, Jacques Gordon, Leon Barzin,
Moshe Paranov, and George Heck were the Orchestra’s first Music Directors. With the appointment of
Fritz Mahler in 1953, the HSO began a Young People’s Concert series and made several highly acclaimed
recordings for Vanguard, including a renowned recording of Carmina Burana. In 1964, with Arthur
Winograd as Music Director, the Orchestra grew in artistic stature, performing at Carnegie Hall and other
New York locations to highly favorable reviews. Under the artistic leadership of Michael Lankester from
1985–2000, the HSO received national recognition for its programming innovations, including the popular
Classical Conversations and Family Matinees, as well as a series of landmark theatrical productions such as
Alexander Nevsky. From 2001–2011, Edward Cumming led the HSO to new levels of artistic excellence with
diverse, innovative programming.
The HSO named Carolyn Kuan as its tenth music director in January 2011. She is the first woman and
the youngest person to hold this esteemed title and brings an entirely unique perspective on symphonic
music and its relevance in a 21st century community. She has led the HSO in new and ongoing creative
collaborations with other artistic partners, including, but not limited to Hartford Stage, the Wadsworth
Atheneum, TheaterWorks and the New Britain Museum of American Art.
In January of 2016, Adam Kerry Boyles was chosen as the HSO’s Assistant Conductor. His passion for music
and especially for young people, provides the HSO with an enthusiastic and creative advocate for our
music education and community engagement programming. The artistic leadership, musicians, and staff
have worked together to build deeper, expanded and more meaningful relationships with our long-standing
and new community partners. HSO’s 2016-2017 season introduced Family Concerts in multiple venues
throughout the Greater Hartford community and a new innovative series, HSO: Intermix. Set in multiple
small capacity nontraditional venues throughout the Hartford region, HSO: Intermix encourages close
interaction between musicians and patrons. In furtherance of its renewed commitment to community, in
2017, the HSO began the tradition of holding a public naturalization ceremony on the opening Masterworks
concert of each season and in the first year, Music Director Carolyn Kuan joined with ten others on the
stage to take the oath of citizenship.
In 2020, the HSO’s Music Builds Community campaign, publicly launched with the support of the Hartford
Foundation for Public Giving and key HSO Board members, reached its $10 million goal, a year ahead of
schedule. Most recently, as the HSO celebrated its 75th anniversary season, we proudly revived the HSO’s
Young Artists Competition, which has been maintained by generous support every year since, and was
moved to a virtual platform during the global pandemic.

We welcome you to join us in our celebration of
the power of partnerships and community.
HSO’s commitment to community is more than
just talk. In preparing for our 2021 Gala, the HSO
team made a deliberate effort to partner with
local vendors. Our partners have contributed to
the contents of your special gourmet treats, and
many are represented in tonight’s auction. Some
are long-time partners and others are newer,
but our decision to “stay local” acknowledges
the importance of our community. We hope
to encourage each of you to do all you can to
“shop local” to support your own communities,
wherever that may be. If you live in the Greater
Hartford area, please do your share to frequent
the wonderful restaurants, boutiques, retail stores
and other vendors that make up our rich and
vibrant community. By helping each other, we stay
strong. Together.

Smarter. Stronger. Safer.
At Seabury, we’re happy to announce that we’ve made great strides in the vaccination
phase and are now prepared to open the campus as we head into the summer.
Thanks to our partnership with CVS Pharmacy—and the dedication of our Residents,
members and staff—we fully vaccinated more than 875 people between January and
April. We have covered more than 90% of our full-time workforce, 99% of the entire
Resident population and 85% of our Seabury At Home membership.
Those are impressive numbers—and they keep rising as new Residents and
employees join our campus. Thank you to everyone who participated. We are all in
this together and will recover as one large community!
