Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

The Chamber Music Society's mission is to stimulate and support the appreciation, performance, and composition of chamber music by presen- ting concerts for the public.

Activities or mission (Part I)

The Chamber Music Societys mission is to stimulate and support the appreciation performance and composition of chamber music

  • Musical Performances: CMS annually produces an ambitious season of con certs in our two venues at Lincoln Center in New York, which were spe- cifically designed for the presentation of chamber music. The organiz- ation is comprised of a multi-generational and international roster of the finest chamber musicians, enabling us to present chamber music of every instrumentation, style, and period. Our concerts feature though- tfully curated performances of masterworks and important works by a diverse range of contemporary and living composers. CMS also conducts outreach to diverse audiences in New York City, and provides unpara- lleled career building opportunities for outstanding early-career musicians.

    Expenses $5,153,044 · Revenue $1,691,949

  • Touring: Each season CMS pursues a vigorous touring schedule across the United States, North and South America, Europe and Asia. While on tour our artists give master classes, coachings, and lectures for local students and audiences. In addition to long standing residencies CMS strives to bring chamber music to places where it is less common and strengthen interest where a tradition of chamber music already exists.

    Expenses $990,847 · Revenue $877,781

  • Education: Each year, thousands of children and adults participate in CMS's education and community engagement programs. For adults, we offer master classes, pre-concert composer talks, lectures on season repertoire, and entertaining program notes that enhance audience enjoyment. We also lead a competitive three-year residency program for early-career chamber musicians. Our youth initiatives include family concerts, a relaxed performance series for children who are neuro- diverse, and a classroom elementary school program that teachs music fundamentals, youth mentorship and performance training programs, a student-led initiatives on equity and inclusion in chamber music, and an open rehearsal series.

    Expenses $1,106,830 · Revenue $44,932

  • Production & Distribution: CMS films all live performances, streams select shows online, and distributes worldwide via media partners.

    Expenses $917,265 · Revenue $34,519

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. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
