Home My WebLink AboutM-91-0071YMPHONY 0QCflL,6111QA Submitted into t1'c pizbii record in ccrnoction with item oa / 1124 /9 Matt y Hirai City Clerk My name is Manuel Ochoa and I'm here on behalf of the Miami Symphony Orchestra, a non-profit organization exempt from Federal Income Tax. First, I would like to thank you for the opportunity of appearing before the Commission today. Now, with your permission, I will tell you briefly about my background. I am a former conductor of the Havana Philarmonic orchestra and have appeared in numerous European concerts with the Vienna Boys Choir, the Radio and Television Orchestra of Spain, and the Chamber Orchestra of Rome. For many years, Miami was the only city in the country, and probably the world, that had no symphony orchestra bearing its name. Some community members and musicians brought to my attention the need for salvaging the city's prestige by forming a symphony orchestra. Therefore, the orchestra was created in September 1989, under the name of Festiva Symphonic Orchestra, with the purpose of promoting a better understanding of our multi -ethnic and multi- cultural community, with emphasis in music from Spain and Latin America, as well as standard European and American repertoire. Later, due to the artistic success achieved, the enthusiastic response from the public and the high praise received from the press (please refer to your copies of programs and newspaper clippings), it was decided to increase the number of musicians and change the name to Miami Symphony. For our first and current seasons, we have been offering our concerts at the Grand Ballroom of the Inter -Continental Hotel, as we are unable to afford the high rental cost of a concert hall. We feel that the time has come for us to move to a concert hall where the full range of our sound quality can be better appreciated. The best choice in the city is the Gusman Center for the Performing Arts. This is why we are here today asking you to please waive the $950.00 rental fee for the 3 dates we have already reserved in March, May and June, which total $2,850.00. We also need your help with the backstage crew, which costs approximately $1,200 each day, totaling $3,600. We will pay for Insurance, which comes to $365 per day, plus the front -house personnel which is $540 per day. We are also willing to pay the $1-surcharge per ticket sold. Also, at this point we have to start planning our next season, and in order to reserve our dates at Gusman, we need to know if we will be able to count on your continued support for four more concerts in the 1991-1992 season. The Miami Symphony Orchestra is a multi -ethnic and multi -cultural effort on behalf of the City of Miami that will project a positive image of our city both here and abroad, and also serve as an attraction to tourists who expect to find cultural activities that appeal to them. Again, I thank you for allowing me to appear before you today and hope that you decide to grant our request. 91- "71 6130 B.W. 92nd Avenue, Miami, Florida 33173 - (305) 274-1792 n Submitted into theub;_ic &YMPHONY. record in co�. c ' • 7_= nn.e .t�.ca� r� �th 1 L' (S T Q item NIA on U Q L n Y-itty Hirai The Miami Symphony Orchestra is a non-profit organization. exempt from Federal Income Tax under section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Orchestra was created in 1989 under the name of Festiva Symphonic Orchestra, with the purpose of promoting symphonic music, and of fos- tering the appreciation of music from Latin America and Spain, as well as music by American composers and the great European masters.

The success of the first season was made possible by the great support afforded by both the English and Spanish media, by donations from many generous individuals and by the time and effort of volunteers who took care of the planning, organizing and handling of the events. Further- more, the Founding Members of the Board of Directors are professionals and business people well known in the Miami area for their involvement in community service and in promoting the arts. For our upcoming season, we intend to keep admissions at affordable prices (between $12.00 to $ 20.00 per ticket), thus making perform- ance of high cultural calibre available to the public of more modest means. For this purpose the Miami Symphony Orchestra needs additional help to compensate for the low priced tickets and cover expenses incur- red for the large number of professional musicians and soloist partici- pating at each event. In addition, money is also needed to increase the scope of our advertising in order to reach a larger segment of the community that will benefit from these cultural events. 91- "71 6130 S.W. 92nd Avenuc.

El nombre, que era en su fundacion en 1989, Festiva Symphonic Orches- Ira, pasb a ser Miami Symphony Orchestra, para asi representar motor a nuestra comunidad. —Eso es algo que quiero enfatizar macho —nos dice— la composition mullietnica de nuestra orquesta que refleja muy bien la composic16n multidtnica de nuestra comunidad. Un hombre de pone y gran elegan- cia, refleja loda una vida de estudio y dedicacibn a la musica. El maestro Manuel Ochoa nacib en Holguin, capital de la provincia del mismo nombre, en la regidn nororien- tal de Cuba. Desde muy pequeno se sintio alraido por la musica. —Mi madre fue la que me hizo tomarle amor a la musica. Tuvo que dejarla porque en aquellos tiempos, eso no se vefa bien.., una muter artista..., huy. Tambiun podriamos anadir que Holguin era una Ciudad cuyos habi- lanles guslaban de la buena m6sica.

Holguin fue tambidn tuna de com- positores Como Juanito MArquez, in- lernacionalmente conocido y quien se dedicd mucho a hacerle arreglos populares a piezas clasicas, Como of Barbero de Sevilla por ejemplo.
