Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

The Asheville Symphony Orchestra performs and promotes symphonic music for the benefit, enjoyment and education of the people of Western North Carolina.

  • The Asheville Symphony provides public concerts of orchestral and choral symphonies for the benefit of the broader community, as well as providing the opportunity for musicians and students to participate in diverse music education programs to foster an appreciation of music through public education. In its 2022-2023 season, the ASO presented 7 Masterworks concerts, one Pops concert, one recital, a free community engagement concert called Symphony in the Park, expanded its ALT ASO chamber orchestra series to 4 concerts, and facilitated the return of the 10-day, 40-event Asheville Amadeus Festival. ASO's core music education programs continued their growth, including the Asheville Symphony Youth Orchestra, its "Symphony Talk" adult education program, and its Hip Hop Folktale digital curriculum collaboration with Secret Agent 23 Skidoo.

    Expenses $1,174,584 · Revenue $818,356

  • ASO also brought back several programs eliminated or paused due to COVID, including its live Music in the Schools program serving every elementary school in the County and City, as well as its Young People's Concerts, a live, full orchestral program for every 5th grader in the city and county schools. In addition, The Asheville Symphony Chorus, Symphony Guild, and Symphonettes all offered their own programs throughout the season.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
