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 2015-16 SEASON EXAMINED THE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY AND MUSIC AND IMAGINATION USING THE TOOLS OF OBSERVATION AND ANALYSIS TO REACH A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF OUR DIVERSE CHORAL REPERTOIRE. OUR SECOND SEMESTER WAS A RICH EXPLORATION OF DIASPORA AND THE MUSICAL CREATIONS OF GROUPS WHO HAVE LEFT THEIR HOMELANDS THROUGHOUT HISTORY. WE CONSIDERED THE CHALLENGES OF MAINTAINING CULTURAL IDENTITY IN THE FACE OF INTOLERANCE OR GREAT CHANGE AND THE PRESERVATION OF STORIES AND HISTORY FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS OF DISPLACED POPULATIONS. 52218 23336 MADISON YOUTH CHOIRS PRODUCED TWO PUBLIC CONCERTS DURING THE 2015-16 SEASON. OUR WINTER CONCERT, INQUIRY: SCIENCE, MUSIC, IMAGINATION AND OUR SPRING CONCERT: SOUNDS LIKE HOME: MUSIC IN DIASPORA, DISPLAYED DIVERSE MUSICAL REPERTOIRE SPANNING SEVERAL CENTURIES AND TRADITIONS AND INCLUDED APPEARANCES BY NUMEROUS PROFESSIONAL GUEST MUSICIANS. OUR SPRING CONCERT HONORED THE FOURTH RECIPIENT OF OUR CARREL PRAY MUSIC EDUCATOR OF THE YEAR AWARD. IN ADDITION, MANY MYC MEMBERS WERE COLLABORATIVE PERFORMERS IN CONCERTS WITH THE MADISON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA, THE MADISON CHORAL PROJECT, AND OPERA FOR THE YOUNG. IN THE SPRING OF 2016, MYC WELCOMED THE PACIFIC BOYCHOIR TO MADISON AND HOSTED THEM IN A JOINT PUBLIC CONCERT. 41187 OUR EDUCATION OUTREACH EFFORTS, WITH THE GOAL OF ELIMINATING BARRIERS TO ARTS PARTICIPATION ACROSS DIVERSE SECTORS OF THE COMMUNITY, EXPANDED IN 2015-16. IN THE SPRING OF 2016, 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 2016, 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. 360546 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 5 0 1 14 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 ALBERT PINSONNEAULT 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 67041 0 0 67041 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 376488 376488 TUITION AND OTHER FEES 611610 197089 197089 CONCERTS AND PERFORMAN 711130 23336 23336 220425 532 532 23811 17177 6634 6634 MISCELLANEOUS REVENUE 900099 4563 4563 4563 608642 220425 0 11729 69928 65033 3496 1399 233049 189424 6493 37132 23888 20061 788 3039 3000 3000 7988 7988 1427 571 143 713 13837 12568 261 1008 5163 3356 1291 516 25044 21032 827 3185 3375 3375 32117 31486 420 211 748 627 26 95 5994 5994 5983 5025 197 761 431541 360546 22936 48059 57630 37760 4251 227363 10000 200 9362 230776 114654 110461 4941 4193 216590 211602 302774 711894 5226 237 38723 280719 43949 280956 X 248825 430938 10000 0 258825 430938 302774 711894 X 177101 -4988 X 1 X 0 0 0 X 85115 123587 105552 196763 376488 887505 230481 248356 243061 462517 220425 1404840 80750 57330 57991 31188 23811 251070 396346 429273 406604 690468 620724 2543415 0 0 0 2543415 532 532 532 532 1128 3261 811 3759 4563 13522 397474 432534 407415 694227 625819 2557469 0.99450 0.99490 0.00020 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 216590 -2668 2320 211602 224898 3945 9694 2559 216590 203335 350 32443 8761 2469 224898 173847 20221 19192 7723 2202 203335 168922 20156 -6455 6822 1954 173847 1.00000 1 0 14140 10140 4000 100514 100321 193 4193 BENEFICIAL INTEREST IN ASSETS HELD BY MADISON COMMUNITY FOUNDATION 211602 211602 PART V, LINE 4: THE INCOME FROM THE ENDOWMENT FUNDS CAN BE USED TO SUPPORT THE ORGANIZATION'S GENERAL ACTIVITIES.
