In the most recent season, the Chorale performed for more than 30,000 people in live performance and tens of thousands via internet streaming. In the current year, the Chorale has commissioned a song cycle of five compositions entitled "Peacekeepers". This testimony to inclusion, healing, and peace will be premiered in March, 2018. The entire 38th season of the Chorale is also dedicated to exploring new ways to present choral music which we have now termed "choral theater". Audience response has been magnificent. Through this success, the Chorale has been able to provide additional music programming to audience members that are underserved, aged, or ill. 515489 true true false false false false false false false true true false false false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 43 0 true 9 true true true false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 15 15 false false false false true true true true true false false true true true true true true true true false X X DAVID PATILLO 2145263214 3630 HARRY HINES BLVD 306 DALLAS TX 75219 KEVIN STONE Pres - Mmbrship 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN RIEGER Chairman 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 GRANT MYERS Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 BRYAN DANIEL Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 KEN HOWARD Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DANIEL KUHN Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 KENT PIACENTI Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DINAH MENGER Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ROGER POINDEXTER Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CHRIS-JAMES COGNETTA Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MATT FOSTE Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JAMIE RAWSON Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 PAUL RUMSEY Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ISAI THOMAS-CAZARES Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 LARRY SINGLETON Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 BRUCE W JASTOR Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 70083 0 0 70083 0 false false false 0 44847 67464 281788 394099 ADMISSIONS 711130 280126 280126 280126 21811 21811 0 628 628 0 133883 124548 9335 9335 9335 14968 14968 8404 8404 8404 0 ADVERTISING 541800 5820 5820 OTHER INCOME 900099 34118 34118 39938 769309 314244 5820 40178 X 0 0 0 0 78737 23621 31495 23621 0 278084 149330 47084 81670 0 12787 6867 2165 3755 34536 18546 5848 10142 0 900 900 16547 16547 0 0 3259 3259 134728 118520 10387 5821 30302 26824 2766 712 5876 1197 4577 102 0 0 81323 69387 11936 14488 10556 3512 420 0 0 3562 3562 0 4661 4661 6790 1024 5631 135 PROGRAM ELEMENTS 40837 37687 715 2435 MISCELLANEOUS 25898 23173 2725 MEMBERSHIP 14421 14421 MEALS AND ENTERTAINMENT 11836 7298 2457 2081 21772 7038 12768 1966 821344 515489 172995 132860 10329 10599 20503 2500 0 0 0 0 0 0 2719 0 26456 18419 12697 8037 419203 413260 0 0 0 0 465451 434396 40512 50073 25843 26972 50425 50565 116780 127610 X 215671 173786 133000 133000 348671 306786 465451 434396 -52035 10150 X false true X true false X 350947 306406 465662 344186 394099 1861300 550415 409214 311796 269140 314244 1854809 0 0 0 901362 715620 777458 613326 708343 3716109 0 0 3716109 3346 12311 20054 16828 31774 84313 10390 7070 5820 23280 3346 12311 30444 23898 37594 107593 0 2989 1309 7260 8446 23372 43376 907697 729240 815162 645670 769309 3867078 0.96100 0.96970 0.02780 0.02080 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 133000 13215 12172 1043 133000 344810 3984 215794 133000 391351 17449 63990 344810 408229 33724 45546 5056 391351 398316 9913 408229 1.00000 false false false 12147 12147 14309 6272 8037 8037 X 776200 10150 -3259 6891 769309 769309 818085 818085 3259 3259 821344 Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund.
