Darwin Symphony Orchestra 2015 Annual Report
Chairman
Report
I am Marie-Louise Pearson, Chairman of the
Board of the Darwin Symphony Orchestra. A very
warm welcome to you all. I would also like to
acknowledge my fellow Board of Directors and
thank them for their very hard work during 2014:
• Vice-Chairman, Carlo Randazzo
• Secretary, Deb Bryan
• Treasurer, Pauline Tauschke
• Directors: Tania Bird, Mike Burgess, Linda
Fazldeen, Vicki Long, Janis Shaw
I would also like to specifically acknowledge and
thank the staff, all the players, and our regular
team of helpers and supporters. You are a
tremendously dedicated and talented team. You
are the DSO.
I am pleased to report that the DSO performed
very strongly during the 2014 year against
our KPIs of financial performance, and the
consolidation of our core business against our
strategic intent.
Financial highlights in 2015 will see us renew our
3 year partnership agreements with both the
Australia Council and Charles Darwin University;
renew many sponsors, and bring on new
sponsors. We also delivered a high standard in
marketing with new collateral, media sponsors
and new online ticketing system all of which has
enabled cost savings whilst delivering a broader
marketing reach.
Strategic consolidation saw us contract with
the Darwin Convention Centre for indoor
performances, release the 2015 program in
2014. We are listening to the needs of players
and focused on continuously developing our
performances.
I am also pleased to report that much work
commenced in 2014 (and continues in 2015)
that is enabling us to move toward standalone
financial systems and procedures (including
payroll and banking), and on streamlining our
administrative and governance procedures,
processes and reporting. These activities are
focused on cost-effectively delivering an efficient
and accountable business.
I am proud to present the Annual Report for the
Darwin Symphony Orchestra for 2014.

Artistic Director
Report
For the last 25 years the Darwin Symphony Orchestra
(DSO) has been steadily moving towards establishing
itself as one of Australia’s most diverse and culturally
significant orchestral/musical institutions. Regionally
and resourcefully challenged, the DSO has had to
overcome some significant hurdles in its development
as a cherished Territory institution that prides itself
on its connection with the community, diversity of
programming, outreach and educational initiatives and
continued pursuit of artistic excellence.
2014 was the year in which the DSO celebrated its 25th
year, and was launched with a traditional opera gala
presenting to Darwin audiences four of Australia’s most
sought after and respected opera singers; Nicole Carr,
Jacqueline Dark, Rosario la Spina and Andrew Jones. The
programme consisted of opera arias and other works from the
genre with a focus on Bizet’s Carmen. Nicole, singing for us the
role of Michaela from Carmen, received a phone call during
our performance telling her she had secured the role with the
Royal Opera - Covent Garden in their 2015-16 season, further
highlighting the quality of guest artists that perform with the
DSO and for DSO audiences. The audience numbers exceeded
all expectations reaching an estimated 4000 people.
The ConocoPhillips Symphony at Darwin’s Botanic Gardens
Amphitheatre is an event that has grown into an annual
calendar highlight for thousands. This year, the ninth year
of ConocoPhillips support for this event, the orchestra
presented a symphonic pop crossover, collaborating with
Australia’s most successful cover band Bjorn Again in a
tribute to the Swedish pop group ABBA in their 40 year
anniversary of winning the Eurovision Song Contest. Many will
simply not forget the sight of a 5000 strong audience joined
together in song and dance in this extremely successful and
vibrant collaboration, a significant and popular event that
strengthens the DSO’s ties with the community at large.
We also celebrated our 25th anniversary by moving the
orchestra to its new indoor concert venue at the Darwin
Convention Centre, a venue that presents itself as a suitable
and appropriate one for live orchestral performance in both
acoustic and space. Most importantly, the venue allows the
DSO to perform naturally, without the aid of amplification, and
4
Darwin Symphony Orchestra 2015 Annual Report
has proven an extremely popular decision amongst players,
stakeholders, management and audience. Our September
concert launched the DSO’s MasterSeries, comprising of three
concerts in this venue.
MasterSeries 1:
Celebrated the musical and personal relationship between
the towering Norwegian Romantic composer and pianist
Edward Grieg and the Australian born composer and pianist
Percy Grainger. In this dance inspired programme we reunited
these two old friends in a concert comprising of Grieg’s
Symphonic Dances, alongside music by Grainger, Saint-Saens
and Khachaturian.
MasterSeries 2:
MS 2 was an evening of reinvention and collaboration, focusing
on a new realisation of Prokofiev’s classic children’s tale Peter
and the Wolf in a new tropical version created by Rob Smith
of ABC Darwin’s Tales from the Tinnies fame. The DSO also
undertook a visual / musical collaboration in a performance
of Australian composer Elena Kats-Chernin’s Wild Swans
suite accompanied by the imagery of Darwin based artist Ray
Reeves. The DSO concertmaster Anastasia Coroneo provided
our audience with a superb and unforgettable performance
of Vaughan-Williams’ pastoral romance The Lark Ascending
whilst the concert concluded with Mendelssohn’s fifth
symphony The Reformation.
MasterSeries 3:
MS 3 provided the orchestra with an opportunity to
work again with one of Australia’s leading musical
figures, James Morrison, in a Christmas themed event.
A standing ovation from every member of the audience
was truly remarkable and a joyous curtain call for the
2014 DSO 25th anniversary season.
Season 2014 was supported by a pre-season concert
presented in March in the CDU Theatre conducted by
Stephen Pevely. The programme consisted of works
by Ross Edwards, Britten, Rossini and Beethoven’s
5th symphony. This pre-season concert has now been
consolidated into the main season programming.
Other artistic highlights of
2014 include:
The DSO quintet giving an invited performance at the
52nd Australian Japan Joint Business Conference as
part of our ongoing association with INPEX, in which
we presented a 30 minute recital of Australian and
Japanese compositions.
We appointed one of Australia’s leading musicians –
Veronique Serret – as the Darwin Symphony Orchestra
Concertmaster, who comes to us from the Australian
Chamber Orchestra.
We undertook the preliminary undertaking of a major
education project in the recording of Prokofiev’s Peter
and the Wolf to be accompanied by text composed
by DSO cellist Cathy Applegate, with the intention to
generate a free music education resource for every
child within the NT.
Other outreach, education and corporate appearances
by DSO musicians included:
APA Group Cocktail Function –
Darwin Convention Centre
International House, CDU - cocktail party in recognition
of major sponsor Sitzler
Leukaemia Foundation – Collaboration with Natalie
Pellegrino in support of the Leukaemia Foundation –
Darwin Turf Club
DSO 2015 season launch – Parliament House
Chief Minister’s NT Export and Industry Awards Darwin Turf Club, Schweppes Pavilion
Great Southern Rail - Ghan Anzac Special - Katherine
50th Anniversary of Provincial Surgeons of Australia
Conference– Skycity lawns
Darwin Waterfront Christmas Carols, 3 performances
Casuarina Square Shopping Centre Christmas Carols
Family Proms Rain Dance - Charles Darwin University
From 2014 we can easily see just how diverse this
organisation is and what a unique and extremely
valuable asset this orchestra is to the community it
serves.
Most significantly, in 2014 I presented to the Australia
Council the DSO Artistic Vision for the next three years,
contributing to the successful securing of our funding
for the next three years from the Australia Council,
a vital step in ensuring the continued growth and
stability of our organisation.
Comprising of approximately 70 volunteers, a small
professional core of musicians, a small dedicated
staff and board we strive to unite a community via the
wonderful power of music. I am extremely thankful
to our wonderful members of the DSO, both playing
members and non-playing. Your continued support,
time and dedication is what has made this orchestra
the cherished institution that is today and I look
forward to sharing with you the future and the exciting
challenges that lie ahead as this orchestra continues
to captivate its audience and maintains its journey of
growth and development alongside the community to
which it belongs.

Darwin Symphony Orchestra 2015 Annual Report
General Manager
Report
2014 was a year of consolidation for the Darwin Symphony Orchestra.
The consolidation however did not compromise the Artistic Director’s
programming for the year with the introduction of “Master Series”
concerts at the Darwin Convention Centre and providing the two free
“outdoor series” concerts for the community of Northern Territory.
The first concert in 2014 was held at the soon to redeveloped “Charles
Darwin University Theatre”. Over 20,000 audience members experienced
in the Darwin Symphony Orchestra whether it be at concerts, corporate
and charitable events (Ensemble, Quintet, Quartet) or educational
programs coordinated by members of the DSO.
2014 saw the roll out of a strategic plan for the Darwin Symphony
Orchestra for the next 3 years (2015-2017). The Australia Council
provided feedback on the report as follows which in turn has provided
ongoing funding to the DSO for the next 3 years (2015-2017).
Three panel members have provided feedback on the plan.
• Strategy for growth well articulated
• Targets reasonable
• Excellent and refreshingly frank SWOT analysis which should
inform an effective Risk Management Plan
• Well expressed artistic statement which pays excellent
attention to skills development
• Growing existing offering rather than seeking to expand is seen
as a wise way to proceed
• Marketing strategies detailed and exciting
• Projects for philanthropy and sponsorship seen as achievable
• Audience development crucial for success and developing the
already strong relationship with the community seen as the best
course
• Wish the DSO well with what is a refreshing and professional
plan.
Our Principal Sponsor Charles Darwin University continued to endorse
the DSO. Discussions commenced in late 2014 between CDU and DSO
to development a 3-year MOU (2015-2017) which further secures the
organisation viability. ArtsNT continues to support the organisation on
an annual basis.
Our corporate partners continued to support the DSO in 2014 not only
financially but also in kind. In late 2014, an agreement was entered into
with Southern Cross Television which provides continued support to the
DSO in the form of television advertising and promotion on all channels
associated with this group for the next 3 years. Corporates continue to
grow the audience base of the orchestra by inviting their guests along
to each and every concert and also provides them with networking
opportunities at the “symphonic suppers” and DSO events. The DSO
continued to develop new partnerships in 2014 which provides further
security for the organisation.
In 2014, the Board launched the 250 Club
initiative. Money raised through this Club
may support areas such as new compositions,
professional development of players etc.
Membership is available by contacting the
General Manager on 8946 6214.
Our operating costs exceeded $915,000 in 2014.
The security of ongoing 3-year funding through
the next 3 years provides the organisation with
certainty for planning into the future. The DSO
acknowledges the support of the Northern
Territory Government through its arts funding
body ArtsNT and the Federal Government
through the Australia Council. DSO also
acknowledges the support of its “Principal
Partner” Charles Darwin University, endorsed by
the Vice Chancellor Simon Maddocks.
On behalf of the entire team at the DSO, I would
like to take this opportunity of thanking the
musicians of the DSO for their contribution to
2014. Each and every member contributes over
250 hours of their personal time to ensure that
the community of the Northern Territory enjoys
live orchestral performances.
Thank you to the wonderful volunteers who
commit many hours at concerts and rehearsals
and assisting the DSO at various events to
promote the Orchestra. Thank you to our
Librarian Coordinators, Chrissie and Jeffrey
Watts – their volunteer contribution exceeds
almost 400 hours to the organisation in 2014. I
must also take the time to thank the team at the
DSO including Roslyn Perry and John McNeur.
Their commitment to the organisation is to be
commended.
Last but not least thank you to the 9 Board
members who volunteer their time and skills to
ensure that vision of the DSO is reached.

WE ARE THE
DSO & DSO’S
FUTURE
STRATEGIC
DIRECTION
The Darwin Symphony Orchestra has been
established for over 25 years and prides
itself as a “Territory” icon on the cultural and
artistic calendar for the Northern Territory.
The Orchestra has a strong community
connection and provides development
opportunities for the over 60 volunteer
players who donate over 250 hours each
per year of their time to provide unique
experiences for the audiences of NT.
Entering his second year as “Artistic
Director and Chief Conductor” with the DSO,
Matthew is renowned for being only one of
two Australian Conductors to lead major
orchestra’s in Australia (source Limelight
magazine April 2015). Matthew continued
to further develop the orchestra in 2014 by
introducing the successful Master Series
at the Darwin Convention Centre, as well
as bringing the free community “outdoor
series” to the Darwin Waterfront and
Garden’s Amphitheatre.
In 2014 the Darwin Symphony Orchestra
entertained over 10,500 Territorians at
six concerts. The Ensemble, Quartet and
Quintet also entertained a further 9,000
10
Darwin Symphony Orchestra 2015 Annual Report
audience members at various corporate
and charitable events, with a further 1,000
attending educational “Family Proms” and
lecture programs which were conducted
by the DSO. In total audience numbers
exceeded 20,000 in 2014.
With the DSO’s management team now
firmly embedded, 2015 will be a year
of enthusiasm, dedication, education,
professional development for both players
and volunteers and of course let’s not forget
the reason we are here, the “Music”.
A strategic plan was developed in 2014 to
allow for continued funding through our
Federal funding body, Australia Council,
and on a Territory based level through
ArtsNT. The plan incorporated the goals and
strategies for the next three years (2015 to
2017). Following excerpts from the Strategic
Plan highlighting the five goals.
