Overview

Mission

Music Education & Performance

What it reported doing in 2024

In the fall we performed Mozart's Requiem and Laudaute Dominum from "Solemn Vespers." In the spring we performed a concert of two Magnificats, one by Bach and one by Rutter. Our smaller Festival Carolers group performed at many public and private events, and put on a community holiday sing-along concert. In June of 2025 we collaborated with another local performing arts group to perform "Symphony No. 5: Return to Middle Earth" by DeMeij.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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.
