Overview

Mission

We are a Chamber Chorus performing music from all musical periods to develop and expand performing arts in the Greater Eastside of the Seattle Area

What it reported doing in 2024

We performed 2 concerts titled "On the Origin of Divine Music" performed at First United Methodist Church of Bellevue on May 17, 2025 for an audience of 71 people, and at Emmanuel Episcopal Church of Mercer Island on May 18, 2025 for an audience of 92 people.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 79% 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 - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
