Mission and programs · 2023

Primary exempt purpose

The Quintet's mission is to broaden the knowledge and appreciation of music from the Western Hemisphere, and particularly new music, through the performance, commissioning, and recording of woodwind quintets and related chamber music. We encourage inter-cultural appreciation and understanding by performing contemporary, classical, and folk-derived music from the diverse cultural traditions of the Americas. We search out collaborations with composers, guest artists, other ensembles, and other organizations to enrich our own growth and to enrich the musical products we bring to the community.

  • From October 2023 to June 2024, Quintet of the Americas served over 800 people with 14 free live concerts featuring new music in Queens and 2 in Manhattan. These concerts were performed for audiences that included seniors, the disabled, families, and college students. In the fall of 2023 QOA participated in the Latin American Culture Week Festival in NYC by performing four concerts in Queens and Manhattan including for seniors at centers and at Alzheimer's Day Care program in St. Albans, at Maple Grove Cemetery in Queens, and at the National Opera Center in Manhattan. This concert was recorded and live-streamed. Repertoire included past commissions: Voices of the Unseen by Gilbert Galindo, and Pra dormir na Rede by G Thiago de Mello, as well as Brooklyn Folk Divertimento by Carlos Pavan (NY premiere), Danza de mediodia by Arturo Marquez, Canto arena by Silvio Rodriguez in a new arrangement by Ernesto Oliva, and dances from Colombia. On Feb 15, 2024 QOA launched a new Memory Project involving seniors at Sunnyside Community Services by performing a concert of pieces with memories for Quintet members. QOA introduced composer Fernando Otero and Otero and QOA members interviewed seniors after the concert to collect material for Oteros' new piece. Other spring concerts featured music by Jenni Brandon, Julia Wolfe, Gabriela Ortiz and past QOA commissions by Peri Mauer and Shanyse Strickland. QOA performed this program at senior centers, York College, the Queens Botanical Garden and at a gallery in Manhattan. Quintet of the Americas reached over 1,300 students in school demonstration concerts at 3 public schools, Castle Bridge School on Manhattan, PS199Q, and PS150Q. Through music from Latin America, these interactive concerts demonstrated the instruments of the woodwind quintet. and concepts of melody, harmony and rhythm. Students at each school performed with us on several pieces at the end of the programs using percussion instruments from our collection. These concerts reached New York City students with white, Hispanic, Asian, and African-American backgrounds.

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.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
