Overview

Mission

To help establish the musical arts as a more essential and valuable experience in the lives of the general public.

What it reported doing in 2025

Our Access to Music program brings the musical arts to our audiences by offering free live classical music concerts interactive performance workshops music appreciation classes and long-term residency services to underserved communities and to audiences who because of illness age lack of exposure or economic means are not capable of attending or choose not to attend such events in traditional settings.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 70% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
