Overview

Mission

Present and perform 17th- and 18th-century music

What it reported doing in 2025

Free performances of rarely heard 17th- and 18th-century instrumental music in Rochester and Dansville, NY, with works of Marini, Castello, Kapsperger, Corelli, Boni, Geminiani, Avison, and Vivaldi. ~100 persons benefited

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 95% 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
