Primary exempt purpose

Performance of Choral Music

  • We performed a concert titled "Bach Magnificat and Vivaldi Gloria," in which we performed JS Bach's Magnificat in D Major and Vivaldi's Gloria in D Major, two of the great Baroque Choral Works. The performance included both a choir and orchestra, and was presented to both an in-person audience and live-streamed online. The total attendance for the concert was ~150 people.

    Expenses $9,127

  • We performed a Winter Concert titled "Brahms Liebeslieder and Neue Liebeslieder", in which we performed Johannes Brahms' Liebeslieder and Neue Liebeslieder. The production included an orchestra and soloists. The concert featured choir and piano, and was conducted by our assistant conductor. The concert included both in-person and virtual attendance. Total attendance for the concert was ~75 individuals.

    Expenses $3,145

  • We performed a Spring Concert titled "Lux: A Concert Exploring the Wonder of Light." Our group performed a diverse series choral pieces based around the theme of light, including Morten Lauridsen's "Lux Aeterna," Dolly Parton's "Light of a Clear Blue Morning," Thomas Tallis' O nata lux de lumine, and Julia Klatt Singer's "soft blink of amber light". The concert included both in-person and virtual attendance. The total number of attendees was over 150 individuals.

    Expenses $12,641

  • During the Winter Months, our choir performed a number of caroling events, where we sang Christmas Carols and other holiday songs at public events. These performances were free to the public, and took place in public spaces. The total number of benefited parties is difficult to estimate, but is likely over 1000.

  • We performed Handel's The Messiah as a sing-along, split across two concerts. The concerts featured a full orchestra, our choir leading the choral sections, but the full audience was invited to sing along. We loaned copies of the score for attendees. The concert was free to the public, and was attended by over 250 individuals.

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.

The four totals the IRS asks for on Part I of the Form 990, as filed. A dash means the figure was not present on the return — not that it was zero.

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.

Grants received

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.
