Overview
Mission
Yarlung artists brings new and classic music to the public by supporting musicians as they begin their international concert careers and by commissioning new music. This is done by raising money to help musicians create recordings, commissioning new music from living composers for these musicians, releasing premiere recordings and supporting fresh and engaging soloists and ensembles.
What it reported doing in 2024
Our executive producers and board of directors contributed and raised funds to enable record labels to create, market and distribute new cds and lps during yarlung's fiscal year, including multiple digital download and streaming options in several formats for maximum visibility. These albums were designed for select concert artists and composers to help them gain stature and visibility with their audiences, critics and peers.yarlung artists contracted yarlung records llc (a single member llc in which bob attiyeh is sole member) to produce and manufacture concerts and albums presented this past fiscal year. This included recording, mastering, post production, graphics, manufacturing, shipping, warehouse storage, distribution, marketing and social media. Total amount paid during the fiscal year was $0. During the year, yarlung artists raised funds for recording projects that will be paid during fiscal year ending october 31, 2026 (the next fiscal year) of approximately $170,000. The board has designated such funds be reserved for such projects. Non designated net assets as of october 31, 2025 are therefore approximately $10,100.
