Mission and programs · 2024

• WITH FEELING AND MUSIC IS A COLLABORATIVELY CREATED AND PRODUCED PROGRAM USING CHAMBER MUSIC TO TEACH SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING (SEL). IN PARTNERSHIP WITH NEW ORLEANS-BASED NONPROFIT KID SMART, LYRICA BAROQUE HAS INTEGRATED CHAMBER MUSIC INTO KID SMART'S "WITH FEELING" CURRICULUM. THE EMERGENCE OF SEL IN K-12 SETTINGS, COUPLED WITH THE NEAR ABSENCE OF CLASSICAL MUSIC EDUCATION CALLS FOR A COMPREHENSIVE TOOL THAT LEVERAGES ARTISTIC EXPRESSION AND SEL SKILL BUILDING TO RESTORE AND REVITALIZE CLASSROOM EDUCATION, AND ENRICH THE LIVES OF CHILDREN AS THEY NAVIGATE A COMPLEX SOCIAL WORLD, ESPECIALLY POST-COVID. THE CURRICULUM HAS BEEN ADAPTED INTO A MULTIMEDIA FORMAT, EACH LESSON BEING PAIRED WITH SONGS COMPOSED, ARRANGED, AND RECORDED BY LYRICA BAROQUE MUSICIANS. 2024 BROUGHT GROWTH AND EXPANSION TO THE PROJECT INCLUDING TEACHING ARTIST AND MUSICIAN TRAINING SESSIONS TO INCREASE OUR ROSTER OF ARTISTS FACILITATING GREATER FLEXIBILITY OF SCHEDULING WITH SCHOOLS AND EDUCATORS.

• LYRICA BAROQUE'S CORE VALUES INCLUDE THE DEEP BELIEF THAT CLASSICAL CHAMBER MUSIC PERFORMED AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF ARTISTIC EXCELLENCE HAS THE POWER TO IGNITE, UPLIFT AND HEAL COMMUNITIES, EXPOSING EACH OF US TO OUR INNERMOST SELVES AND HUMANNESS. THE ORGANIZATION HAS HAD MANY MEMORABLE CONCERTS SINCE ITS INCEPTION, INCLUDING PERFORMANCES AT THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW ORLEANS, ESPLANADE STUDIOS, THE URSULINE CONVENT IN THE FRENCH QUARTER, MULTIPLE GULF SOUTH TOURS, LONGUE VUE HOUSE AND GARDENS, THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW ORLEANS AND AT CHAUTAUQUA INSTITUTION IN NEW YORK. LYRICA BAROQUE HAS HAD A LONG PARTNERSHIP WITH CHRIST CHURCH CATHEDRAL, PRESENTING A FREE WINTER CONCERT TO NEW ORLEANS EACH YEAR FOR THE PAST EIGHT YEARS ATTRACTING AUDIENCES OF OVER 400 EACH YEAR. THIS PERFORMANCE IS SUPPORTED BY THE NEW ORLEANS JAZZ AND HERITAGE FOUNDATION AND INSPIRES FAMILIES TO ATTEND CONCERTS WHO MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO AFFORD OTHER CLASSICAL MUSIC HOLIDAY CONCERTS BEING PRESENTED IN THE CITY. WE ALSO PRESENT A SUMMER CONCERT EACH YEAR BRINGING TOGETHER WORLD-RENOWNED GUEST ARTISTS WITH CELEBRATED LOCAL NEW ORLEANS ARTISTS. OUR SUMMER CONCERT ANNUALLY DRAWS A CROWD OF APPROXIMATELY 300 PEOPLE. COVID PERFORMANCES INCLUDED OUR FIRST EVER LIVESTREAM OF OUR WINTER CONCERT FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW ORLEANS AND AN OUTDOOR CONCERT FEATURING LATIN AMERICAN MUSICIANS AND CHAMBER MUSIC. OTHER HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE A PERFORMANCE WITH THE GRAMMY AWARD WINNING HARLEM QUARTET, A SIDE-BY-SIDE COMMUNITY CONCERT WITH STUDENTS AND TEACHERS AT THE MARIGNY OPERA HOUSE, AND THE NEW ORLEANS PREMIERE OF ISABELLA LEONARDA'S SONATA TERZA. IN 2024 WE COMMISSIONED NEW MUSIC FOR THE FIRST TIME FROM LATINX COMPOSERS FOR OUR MULTICULTURAL SOUNDS OF LOUISIANA PROJECT. THE PROJECT CULMINATED IN A SIDE-BY-SIDE CONCERT WITH STUDENTS AND PROFESSIONAL MUSICIANS AT THE NEW MARIGNY THEATRE AND INCLUDED THE WORLD PREMIERE'S OF TWO BRAND NEW CHAMBER WORKS. LYRICA BAROQUE'S PERFORMANCES AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PROJECTS CURRENTLY REACH ELEMENTARY, MIDDLE SCHOOL, HIGH SCHOOL, COLLEGE STUDENTS, AND ADULT AMATEUR MUSICIANS REPRESENTING ALL RACES, ECONOMIC STATUS, GENDERS, AND ETHNICITIES.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.
