Overview

Mission

To enhance the quality of life for Oregon's youth by providing the opportunity to learn and perform orchestral music together in a non- competitive and collaborative environment.

What it reported doing in 2024

The festival presents three major events each year: 1) a four-day april festival for high school orchestras, 2) a chamber music concert series with high school students and professional musicians playing side-by-side, and 3) a composers symposium for high school students.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 98% 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

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.
