Overview

Mission

We perform several public concerts with orchestra and other performing ensembles, including the Chamber Singers, Consort Canzona and our youth groups. We perform in Carson City, NV and surrounding areas.

What it reported doing in 2024

We are a symphony orchestra and related choral and other music entities, with which we provide live concerts for the public. We also provide youth instruction using our own musicians as unpaid instructors. We give grants and allocations to deserving youth up to age 17 to afford the recipients, usually three per year, to pursue their musical studies. We do these accomplishments as a whole, in a way which makes it difficult to specifically allocate a given expense line item to a specific recipient. Accordingly, we consider all of our expense to be allocable throughout our spectrum of services to our community

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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

STRONG - 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.
