 Acquisition

Boxes 1-20 were donated in the late 1970s; Boxes 21-35 were accessioned at various times between 1988-2001.

 Processing Information

The collection was processed and the finding aid written by Leslie Czechowski, March 2001; updated in June 2002..

 Organization of the Collection

Early correspondence is arranged chronologically; other files are grouped by subject and arranged alphabetically. Following is a rough listing of materials in the collection:

Correspondence, 1965-83 (Boxes 1-3) Personal files (office subject files), 1957-84 (Boxes 4-19) Personnel files, 1953-90 (Boxes 20-22) Board files, 1972-90 (Boxes 23-24) Correspondence, 1975-90 (Box 25) Task Forces, 1976-90 (Box 26) ASOL & The Ten, 1962-89 (Box 27) Administrative files, 1969-90 (Boxes 28-32) Operations & Recordings, 1974-90 (Box 33) Artistic files, 1969-90 (Boxes 34-35) Biographical Note

Richard M. Cisek served as General Manager of the Association from 1966-78, then as President until 1990. During these years he was active on many local boards of trustees and with professional associations such as the American Symphony Orchestra League (under whose auspices he served as a consultant to other orchestral associations).

 Scope and Content Note

This collection includes materials from Cisek’s tenure as general manager and as president. They document the breadth of activities of the Orchestra President: interaction with Board members, initial planning for tours and other major events, long-range planning, financial planning and development, interactions with the Music Directors and musicians, personnel, audience development, and community involvement.

Early office correspondence (Boxes 1-3) primarily consists of copies of correspondence from Cisek when he was General Manager. These may have been created from “string files” that Orchestra staff compiled as a means of routing correspondence among staff. Only a small selection of letters and memos were retained that indicate the activities of his office and his involvement in most areas of Orchestra operation, providing a chronological overview of Cisek’s activities. There are few copies of incoming letters or memos. Multiple copies were made of each outgoing letter, so duplicate copies may also be found in Cisek’s personal files.

Personal files (Boxes 4-19) reflect Cisek’s involvement with all areas of Orchestra operations, mainly during his tenure as manager. Files are arranged alphabetically by subject. More complete records of activities may be found in relevant department series. Folders include correspondence from Donald Engle’s tenure as president before Cisek, files from other Orchestra staff including Charles Fullmer and David Hyslop, and correspondence from Maestro Skrowaczewski. Highlights of this group are information regarding artistic planning such as the annual Metropolitan Opera program, personnel issues (esp. Boxes 12-13), recordings, and correspondence with Skrowaczewski. Boxes 14-15 contain information regarding the recording and airing of Orchestra recordings including contractual arrangements with musicians and recording companies.

Boxes 20-22 contain personnel files kept by Engle and Cisek about various staff members, musicians, and Music Directors Skrowaczewski, Marriner, and deWaart. They contain contracts, letters of appointment, memos to and from staff members and the Orchestra president. A few staff files are interfiled in the Personal files. See also Personnel files in Series 5.6.

Boxes 23-35 contain administrative and office files that are similar to those in Boxes 4-19. They generally reflect Cisek’s administrative work during the 1980s and may include files from some of the General Managers. Because the files were found at Orchestra Hall and deposited in the archives at different times, there was no order. They have been grouped by broad subjects (Board, administrative, artistic) and then arranged alphabetically. Many of the artistic files in Boxes 34-35 are from the 1970s and 1980s. [The box labels read: Cisek (II) to differentiate these later accretions from the first group of records.] Cisek’s files also contain files maintained by his assistant; in some cases, their records are intermixed.

Items discarded include routine thank-you notes, memos, invitations, correspondence with arts management firms, routine memos and correspondence, and multiple letters of a similar nature responding to patrons who complained about tickets, facilities, or performances.

 Related Material

See Series 4.3 for additional files during Cisek’s tenure as manager. Series 4.4 also contains extensive Personnel files. Early boxes of most of the departments in Series 5 contain files that were probably created by Cisek. At some point in the organization of the Orchestra’s archives, many files from various offices may have been brought together in artificial series. Since Cisek’s tenure with the Orchestra was so extensive, records created by him may be found in most of the records from 1960s-90s.
