WEEKLY REHEARSALS AND REPERTOIRE ARE CAREFULLY PLANNED AROUND A SEMESTER THEME IN WHICH CONDUCTOR-TEACHERS CHALLENGE STUDENTS TO MAKE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN THE MUSIC AND A SPECIFIC IDEA. THE FIRST SEMESTER OF OUR 2016-17 SEASON CELEBRATED THE 400TH ANNIVERSARY OF SHAKESPEARE'S BIRTH AND FOCUSED ON THE SPECIFIC ELEMENTS THAT COMBINE TO CREATE COMPELLING ART THAT STANDS THE TEST OF TIME. STUDENTS STUDIED MOTIF, TENSION, STRUCTURE, AND RHYTHM IN THEIR MUSIC AS WELL AS IN SELECTIONS FROM SHAKESPEARE'S VAST BODY OF WORK. OUR SECOND SEMESTER WAS AN EXPLORATION OF IDENTIFYING PATTERNS, PUZZLES, AND SECRET STRUCTURES IN A VARIETY OF COMPLEX MUSICAL COMPOSITIONS WITH THE GOAL OF DISCOVERING THE GREAT REWARDS OF SEEKING BRILLIANCE AND BEAUTY WHEREVER THEY HIDE. IN THE SUMMER OF 2016, 68 MEMBERS OF OUR GIRL CHOIRS PARTICIPATED IN THE ABERDEEN INTERNATIONAL YOUTH FESTIVAL IN SCOTLAND. OUR MEMBERS PERFORMED FOR AUDIENCES ACROSS NORTHEAST SCOTLAND AND WITH NUMEROUS MUSICIANS FROM ACROSS THE GLOBE CREATING A ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME EXPERIENCE FOR OUR STUDENTS. 57635 26344 MADISON YOUTH CHOIRS PRODUCED TWO PUBLIC CONCERTS DURING THE 2016-17 SEASON. OUR WINTER CONCERT, SHAKESPEARE 400 AND OUR SPRING CONCERT: HIDE & SEEK: CRACKING THE MUSICAL CODE, DISPLAYED DIVERSE MUSICAL REPERTOIRE SPANNING SEVERAL CENTURIES AND TRADITIONS AND INCLUDED APPEARANCES BY NUMEROUS PROFESSIONAL GUEST MUSICIANS. OUR SPRING CONCERT HONORED THE FIFTH RECIPIENT OF OUR CARREL PRAY MUSIC EDUCATOR OF THE YEAR AWARD. IN ADDITION, MANY MYC MEMBERS WERE COLLABORATIVE PERFORMERS IN CONCERTS WITH THE MADISON OPERA, MADISON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA, AUGUSTANA COLLEGE CHOIR, AND OPERA FOR THE YOUNG. 40904 OUR EDUCATION OUTREACH EFFORTS, WITH THE GOAL OF ELIMINATING BARRIERS TO ARTS PARTICIPATION ACROSS DIVERSE SECTORS OF THE COMMUNITY, EXPANDED IN 2016-17. IN THE SPRING OF 2017, ALL NINE OF OUR PERFORMING CHOIRS PARTICIPATED IN LOCAL OUTREACH TOURS, PERFORMING FOR FREE AT 25 AREA SCHOOLS AND RETIREMENT HOMES. AS A RESULT, OVER 8,000 SCHOOL CHILDREN AND RETIRED ADULTS ENJOYED A HIGH-QUALITY CHORAL PERFORMANCE AND GOT A PEEK INSIDE OUR EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING. OUR IN-SCHOOL CHORAL EDUCATION PROGRAMMING CONTINUED IN THREE MADISON ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS. NOW REACHING OVER 200 STUDENTS, OUR IN-SCHOOL RECESS CHOIRS BRING A CHORAL REHEARSAL AND PERFORMANCE EXPERIENCE TO KIDS WHO PREVIOUSLY HAD LIMITED ACCESS TO THE PERFORMING ARTS. MYC STAFF ALSO PROVIDES PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND MENTORING TO MUSIC EDUCATORS THROUGH THIS PROGRAM. IN JANUARY 2017, MYC HOSTED OVER 400 BOYS FROM THROUGHOUT SOUTHERN WISCONSIN, AGES 8-18, AT THE MADISON BOYCHOIR FESTIVAL, A DYNAMIC HALF-DAY CHORAL REHEARSAL EXPERIENCE CULMINATING IN A FREE PUBLIC PERFORMANCE FOR OVER 1,000 COMMUNITY MEMBERS. PARTICIPATION IN THIS FESTIVAL IS LARGELY SUBSIDIZED BY FUNDING SECURED BY MYC SO THAT ANY BOY WHO WISHES TO PARTICIPATE IN THE ONLY BOYCHOIR FESTIVAL IN WISCONSIN MAY DO SO. FINALLY, THE INTERGENERATIONAL CHOIR BRINGS TOGETHER THE YOUNG SINGERS OF MADISON YOUTH CHOIRS WITH THE RESIDENTS OF CAPITOL LAKES RETIREMENT COMMUNITY TO CREATE A UNIQUE, INNOVATIVE MUSICAL ENSEMBLE THAT BENEFITS FROM BLENDING VOICES WITH A WIDE RANGE OF LIFE EXPERIENCES. THROUGH THIS PROGRAM, WHICH IS SUPPORTED IN PART BY THE MADISON COMMUNITY FOUNDATION, WE HOPE TO DEMONSTRATE THAT CREATIVE EXPRESSION IS VITAL AT EVERY AGE AND ENCOURAGE FURTHER COLLABORATION BETWEEN ARTISTS OF DIFFERENT GENERATIONS. 596196 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 3 0 15 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 12 12 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 WI X MICHAEL ROSS 6082387464 160 WESTGATE MALL STE I MADISON WI 537111063 JULIE VERBAN PAST PRESIDENT 2.00 X X 0 0 0 DAN SINCLAIR PRESIDENT 2.00 X X 0 0 0 DAVID SCHMIEDICKE TREASURER 2.00 X X 0 0 0 LAURIE FELLENZ SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 MICHELLE KRUSE DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ELIZABETH ODDERS-WHITE DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 PENNY PATTERSON DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 TEAGUE MAWER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 KRIS RASMUSSEN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 BRIAN TENNANT DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 CHERLY ROWE DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 DAN LYONS VICE PRESIDENT 1.00 X X 0 0 0 MICHAEL ROSS EXECUTIVE/ARTISTIC DIRECTOR 40.00 X 72028 0 0 72028 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 171639 171639 SCOTLAND TOUR FEES 561520 257491 257491 TUITION AND OTHER FEES 611610 197796 197796 CONCERTS AND PERFORMAN 711130 26344 26344 481631 694 694 24897 14971 9926 9926 MISCELLANEOUS REVENUE 900099 3500 3500 3500 667390 481631 0 14120 1200 1200 72028 58749 3175 10104 247971 202255 10931 34785 23786 19401 1048 3337 5000 5000 6844 6844 324 130 32 162 18667 13058 4303 1306 1129 1016 113 25602 20881 1130 3591 267215 267019 130 66 526 429 23 74 6517 5214 1303 DUES AND SUBSCRIPTIONS 826 826 1260 1260 678895 596196 29161 53538 37760 7202 227363 232942 200 276 230776 10513 114654 110987 4193 3667 211602 229859 711894 484459 237 748 280719 36173 280956 36921 X 430938 447538 430938 447538 711894 484459 X -11505 28105 X 1 X 0 0 0 X 123587 105552 196763 376488 171639 974029 248356 243061 462517 220425 481631 1655990 57330 57991 31188 23811 24897 195217 429273 406604 690468 620724 678167 2825236 29709 19520 56086 251766 30708 387789 0 29709 19520 56086 251766 30708 387789 2437447 532 694 1226 532 694 1226 3261 811 3759 4563 3500 15894 432534 407415 694227 625819 682361 2842356 0.85750 0.99450 0.00040 0.00020 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 211602 30585 9848 2480 229859 216590 -2668 2320 211602 224898 3945 9694 2559 216590 203335 350 32443 8761 2469 224898 173847 20221 19192 7723 2202 203335 1.00000 1 0 14140 10473 3667 100514 100514 0 3667 BENEFICIAL INTEREST IN ASSETS HELD BY MADISON COMMUNITY FOUNDATION 229859 229859 PART V, LINE 4: THE INCOME FROM THE ENDOWMENT FUNDS CAN BE USED TO SUPPORT THE ORGANIZATION'S GENERAL ACTIVITIES.
