Active educators, the Westerlies seek to engage underserved audiences and musicians through innovative educational workshops that emphasize improvisation as a means to foster better communication and listening skills. In the fiscal year 2019-2020, The Westerlies performed 33 concerts across 11 states, reaching over 4,700 audience members in all. In addition, the ensemble continued their dedication to music education by hosting 24 educational events in communities across the country, reaching over 1,400 students. Both educational and performance initiatives coalesced in the second annual "Westerlies Fest," a four-day music festival combining evening concerts with daytime in-school performances and a community music workshop. Due to COVID-19 concert cancellations, The Westerlies developed a state-of-the-art system to play remotely in real-time, paving the way for chamber ensembles and offering their expertise to institutions including the Colburn School (Los Angeles, California) and Seattle JazzEd (Seattle, Washington). Program highlights include the International Trombone Festival (Muncie, Indiana), NPR's Live From Here (New York, New York), Joe's Pub (New York, New York), the Earshot Jazz Festival (Seattle, Washington), Noe Music (San Francisco, California), Nasher Sculpture Center (Dallas, Texas), Second Inversion (Seattle, Washington), KNKX (Seattle, Washington), Choate Rosemary Hall (Wallingford, Connecticut), Winter Jazz Fest (New York, New York), The Nash (Phoenix, Arizona), the Bootleg Theater (Los Angeles, California), and Living Music with Nadia Sirota (Facebook Live). 0 145935 145935 Florangela Davila Board member 1 0 0 0 Georgina Javor Board member 1 0 0 0 Mike Halperin Board member 1 0 0 0 Georgia Ragsdale Board member 1 0 0 0 Natalie Weiner Board member 1 0 0 0 John Schlosser Board member 1 0 0 0 Riley Mulherkar board member (ex officio) 2 0 0 0 Mark Wittow President 4 0 0 0 Gayle Bush Vice President 1 0 0 0 Marc Daudon Treasurer 2 0 0 0 Laurie de Koch Secretary 2 0 0 0 Kristina Teuschler board member 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NY Riley Mulherkar 161 Washington Park Ste 4B Brooklyn NY 11205 2069486928 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 34037 56117 152405 98164 340723 0 34037 56117 152405 98164 340723 340723 340723 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED annual fundraiser 23539 16856 6683 0 0 700 3472 0 1410 0 0 23539 16856 6683 0 0 700 3472 0 1410 5582 1101 Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Description;Amount^conferences;11608|travel;6499|miscellaneous;5030^Total;23137^
