Overview
Mission
Citymusic cleveland is a professional chamber orchestra, which performs free concerts throughout n.e. Ohio, accompanied by art shows of local artists. Our mission is to develop audiences & build communities through the arts by presenting quality performances.
What it reported doing in 2024
The program presented during the 2024-2025 season consisted of a 24 concert series throughout the year in cleveland. Attendance at all concerts is estimated to be 3,600 in person to hear a classical repertoire, eliminating the twin barriers of high ticket prices and unfamiliar venues, and working with neighborhood leaders to enrich the cultural offerings of their communities, in so doing, citymusic cleveland builds audiences for both the musical and visual arts organizations in northeast Ohio. It is our belief that this grass roots approach connects a diverse mix of people and a spectrum of community groups, as they take ownership and pride in enriching their community.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 85% 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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
