Overview
Mission
Performing choral concerts
What it reported doing in 2012
Concert: April 13, 2013 "The Grand Finale"; MCA's final concert in its fifteenth anniversary year featuring the world premiere of Norwegian-born composer Ola Gjeilo. He performs his commissioned work for women's vocal ensemble, string quartet, and improvisational piano accompaniment. Audience of 300 people.
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
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and expenses are high relative to revenue.
