Overview

Mission

To promote and encourage musical activities by the sponsoring of concerts, recitals, workshops, masterclasses and courses, in order to provide opportunities to the music community and to the general public for fostering and developing a knowledge and appreciation of music and excellence in the performance of music.

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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
