Great performers belong to the world. Their talent on stage brings joy and hope to audiences, their inspiration awakens dreams and aspirations in the hearts of young people, and the music they make helps ordinary people transcend day-to-day struggles to a place of deeper meaning. In this spirit, The Hildegard Behrens Foundation

(HBF) is dedicated to preserving the enormous legacy of le-gendary soprano Hildegard Behrens in our own time by hel-ping emerging musicians of the highest caliber pursue artistic excellence, while growing as citizen musicians, developing a passion for working with young people and the less fortunate, and cultivating a foundation in the tools of community building through music.

The Foundation is proud to serve as the Founding Lead Fi-nancial Partner of the Global Leaders Program. The Founda-tion’s support creates scholarships for deserving students to participate in the Global Leaders Program, and provides the framework for four distinguished Global Leaders graduates each year to receive the prestigious HBF Global Humanitarian Entrepreneur Award in memory of Ms. Behrens.

What could be more important than preparing talented musicians to become the community chan-ge-makers of tomorrow? What could be more exciting than achie-ving this mission in a way that allows participants to serve their home communities from grassroots programs in the most remote parts of the world? This is the multi-di-

rectional power of the Global Leaders Program (GLP). As so-meone who has seen first-hand what music education can do to transform lives in my home community of Jamaica, I could not be more proud to serve as Chairman of the GLP Advisory Committee.

The report detailed in the following pages presents a glimp-se of the 2015-2016 Academic Year. It highlights the learning of the Cohort in our online classroom, taught by the greatest minds in a variety of pertinent fields, as well as the growth that happened on the ground in Missions. The Global Leaders Program aspires to achieve what no other music initiative in the world does – to instill the tools of community development, social enterprise, and teaching artistry that allows world-class performers to dream big, and to build elephant DNA into their lives. I have no doubt that many of these emerging talents will someday be giants in the growing world of social development through music. As this year comes to a close, we look forward to the next – from our achievements and shortcomings in order to continue increasing the value the program offers to partici-pants and communities.

DR. NIGEL CLARKECHAIRMAN, ADVISORY COMMITTEE

The Global Leaders Program grows out of YOA Orchestra of the Ameri-cas as a mechanism for providing much needed professional training to top orchestral musicians, while assisting community music pro-grams in the more than 30 coun-tries since the program’s launch in 2012. As Chairman of YOA, we could not be more proud to serve

as the lead institution behind the incredibly meaningful initiati-ve that the Global Leaders Program represents. Thank you to all—in particular GLP lead financial partner the Hildegard Be-hrens Foundation—whose belief, support, and hard work led to a successful 2016. We look forward to an even brighter future for the Program in 2017.

HILDA OCHOA-BRILLEMBOURGCHAIRMAN, YOA ORCHESTRA OF THE AMERICAS

23 Missions to 27 communities in 15 countries; 18 Institutions hosting 500+ days of coaching offered to more than 1,000 local students — all of this made possible by $100,000 in local investment. These are a few of the exciting numbers that speak to the depth, breath, reach, and impact of the Global Leaders Program on the ground in the 2015-2016 academic year.

What a thrill to welcome more than a dozen new Mission Hosts to the 2016 program, including ProArte Musical (Puerto Rico), St. Croix Foundation (US Virgin Islands), Fundación Pradier (Argentina), and BLUME (Haiti), while continuing our ground activities with longtime Mission hosts Fundación Sinfonia (Dominican Republic), Esperanza Azteca (Mexico), and others. A particular highlight was the first Global Leaders Mission to Africa, hosted by El Sistema Kenya and The Let It Shine Program (Tanzania). Another highlight was a new Mission to Xalapa, Mexico, hosted by GLP alumnus Felix Alanis, whose final project, Festival Allegra, has grown into a thriving orchestral training camp offered tuition-free. In this way, we are proud to see the program connecting past alumni and present students. Another important development in 2016 was the addition of Fulbright Association as a core Mission partner to the Global Leaders Program. Thanks to the sponsorship of the Mercedes & Robert Eichholz Foundation, distinguished Fulbright Alumni traveled alongside 2016 Global Leaders on Missions to Argentina and Haiti.

A clear priority in 2016 was measuring Mission impact on the ground, by building more comprehensive and efficient surveys to measure the outcome of Missions for local students, regional stakeholders, and our own Global Leaders. The refinement of Impact Reports and the addition of Case Study assignments to all Global Leaders Missions in 2015-2016 helped not only enhance the learning experience for our own participants, but also offered valuable long-term insights and takeaways to the grassroots programs on the ground, thereby simultaneously serving both sets of core stakeholders to the Program.

WHAT HOSTS ARE SAYING ABOUT MISSIONS

“The YOA mission gave my students a greater sense of pur-pose in their musical studies and broadened their musical perspective to a global landscape.”

KIPP DC Charter Schools (USA)

“The Leader’s teaching was really inspiring. After such a long time teaching, it was really helpful to get new input and ideas.”

Arpegio (Peru)

WHAT PARTICIPANTS ARE SAYING ABOUT MISSIONS

“Our group of colleagues from bonded immediately and wor-ked beautifully together from there. In a short period of time, we became family. This is a project that has become very important to us and has affected us each on a personal level. We all feel strongly about the relationships we have begun to build with the students at the camp and have learned just as much from them as they have hopefully from us.”

Honduras Mission Team

“The duo coaching I gave was a highlight of the Mission. I am experienced in teaching young children and adolescents, but this was a rare occasion for me to teach adults in their 60s. I enjoyed the challenge of working with a different age group and tailoring feedback to their level as well as to their parti-cular circumstances. I was happy to have the chance to try out some strategies from William Westney, asking the musi-cians questions about how they perceived the pieces and en-couraging them to experiment with different narratives. The musicians commented that they appreciated this approach, as it was different from and complementary to their usual tea-cher’s approach.”

ACADEMICS

2016 was an outstanding year for the academic development of the Global Leaders Program. With the addition of twelve brand new webinars to the curriculum, 2016 Global Leaders were able to dive into unprecedented depth on modules related to community leader-ship, pedagogy, and social entrepreneurship. A highlight among the new Faculty members that deepened the breath of the curriculum was Arthur C. Brooks, whose seminar on Reflections on 21st Century Leadership was one of the most exceptional from Semester II.

Another enhancement that gave exceptional results was the addition of Long-form Assignments to the network of academic graduation requirements. These essay-type compositions fostered reflective dialogue between the ideas presented during Semester I and Semes-ter II. Most importantly, however, the institutional addition of McGill and Oxford Universities as overseeing partner institutions of the first and second semesters respectively imbued the curriculum with a newfound academic refinement.

Towards the end of the year, it was clear how the aforementioned expansions to the curriculum positively affected the quality of stu-dents’ final project development. The addition of a “Shark Tank” style review panel for the first time gave students an opportunity to test out their projects in a live setting, receiving valuable feedback from real-world panelists representing institutional funders, successful entrepreneurs, and government agencies. For the coming year, in addition to continuing to refine the curriculum, the opening of the program to the general public and the hiring of professional module directors offers the Global Leaders Program the opportunity to make another important step forward academically — a journey we look forward to being part of.

2016 HILDEGARD BEHRENS FOUNDATION AWARDEESGLOBAL HUMANITARIAN ENTREPRENEUR AWARD

The Global Humanitarian Entrepreneur Award is made possible by the generous contribution of the Hildegard Behrens Foundation, which recognizes the impact that music plays in the transformation of lives and communities across the Americas. The Hildegard Behrens Foundation was founded in honor of the great German dramatic soprano and was launched in August 2010 by Dr. Gaston Ormazábal, a long-time friend of the legendary opera singer and Metropolitan Opera superstar. The Foundation makes financial contri-butions to institutions that promote music, the arts, and humanitarian causes in commemoration of Ms. Behrens’ artistic legacy of “per-fect architecture of the musical phrase, complete classical training in the historical context of Western civilization, and deep humanity.”

The financial profile of the 2016 Global Leaders Program reflects a lean initiative, where each cash dollar invested was multiplied three times by leveraged support from host partners on the ground. In addition to this in-kind investment, which exceeded $140,000, a number of regional sponsors also supported the program with cash funding in FY16. While this additional revenue helped, a business model dependent on cash committed by Mission hosts is not tenable in the long run. To improve the academic experience, strengthen the quality of teaching, and grow the professionalism of Missions, participant tuition will be added in FY17. This represents an important step towards sustainability for the Global Leaders Program, made possible by the ever-increasing value the program offers students.
