Overview

Mission

Provide musical arts for the community

What it reported doing in 2025

The 70-person orchestra provides 4-5 concerts from october - may. Each concert is typically attended by 300 people on average and has a theme. Expenses: staff music, space, equipment rental and promotion.

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

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 reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
