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 2014-15 SEASON WAS SPENT STUDYING EARLY MUSIC AS WAY OF EXPLORING OF HOW MUSIC IS MORE THAN A SKILL TO BE LEARNED. IT CAN BE A WINDOW INTO DIFFERENT WAYS OF THINKING OR EVEN A "MAGIC CARPET" TO TAKE US TO OTHER PLACES AND ERAS. OUR SECOND SEMESTER WAS AN EXPLORATION OF MOVEMENT OFFERING US THE OPPORTUNITY TO INTRODUCE DALCROZE EURHYTHMICS TO OUR STUDENTS AND TO COLLABORATE WITH THE MADISON BALLET. IN ADDITION, DURING THE SUMMER OF 2014, MYC PROVIDED AN EXCEPTIONAL INTERNATIONAL EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE FOR 72 MEMBERS OF OUR BOYCHOIR BY PARTICIPATING IN THE ABERDEEN INTERNATIONAL YOUTH FESTIVAL IN SCOTLAND. OUR SINGERS LEARNED FROM AND COLLABORATED WITH OTHER YOUTH ARTISTS FROM AROUND THE WORLD. 62686 19233 MADISON YOUTH CHOIRS PRODUCED TWO PUBLIC CONCERTS DURING THE 2014-15 SEASON. OUR WINTER CONCERT, MUSICA FICTA: IMAGINING THE PAST AND OUR SPRING CONCERT: MOMENTUM, DISPLAYED DIVERSE MUSICAL REPERTOIRE SPANNING SEVERAL CENTURIES AND TRADITIONS AND INCLUDED APPEARANCES BY NUMEROUS PROFESSIONAL GUEST MUSICIANS AS WELL AS ARTISTS FROM THE MADISON BALLET. OUR SPRING CONCERT HONORED THE THIRD RECIPIENT OF OUR MUSIC EDUCATOR OF THE YEAR AWARD, NOW NAMED FOR ITS RECIPIENT, CARREL PRAY, THE FOUNDER OF OUR BOYCHOIR PROGRAM. 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 2015, MYC WELCOMED THE AUSTRIAN BOYCHOIR GRAZ KAPPELKNABBEN TO MADISON AND HOSTED THEM IN A JOINT PUBLIC CONCERT. 46341 191993 OUR EDUCATION OUTREACH EFFORTS, WITH THE GOAL OF ELIMINATING BARRIERS TO ARTS PARTICIPATION ACROSS DIVERSE SECTORS OF THE COMMUNITY, EXPANDED IN 2014-15. IN THE SPRING OF 2015, 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 EXPANDED FROM TWO TO 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 FEBRUARY 2015, 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 1000 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. 613699 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 13 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 11 11 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 PRESIDENT 2.00 X X 0 0 0 DAN SINCLAIR VICE PRESIDENT 2.00 X X 0 0 0 DAVID SCHMIEDICKE TREASURER 2.00 X X 0 0 0 ANDREW TURNER PAST PRESIDENT 2.00 X X 0 0 0 LAURIE FELLENZ DIRECTOR 1.00 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 MICHAEL ROSS EXECUTIVE/ARTISTIC DIRECTOR 40.00 X 63220 0 1116 63220 0 1116 0 0 0 0 0 196763 196763 CONCERTS AND PERFORMAN 711130 270524 270524 TUITION AND OTHER FEES 611610 191993 191993 462517 31188 21227 9961 9961 MISCELLANEOUS REVENUE 900099 3759 3759 3759 673000 462517 0 13720 64155 57739 4491 1925 220822 180168 3854 36800 25427 21227 745 3455 13492 5945 7547 1642 1642 19955 16962 1873 1120 25269 21095 740 3434 254219 254219 41254 40990 176 88 3893 2583 1310 5737 4590 1147 7833 6539 230 1064 683698 613699 22113 47886 67149 57630 4251 4100 10000 868 240205 9362 114654 109713 8834 4941 224898 216590 546054 302774 4580 5226 282841 38723 287421 43949 X 254533 248825 4100 10000 258633 258825 546054 302774 X -10698 10890 X 0 0 0 X 101529 85115 123587 105552 196763 612546 208095 230481 248356 243061 462517 1392510 62998 80750 57330 57991 31188 290257 372622 396346 429273 406604 690468 2295313 0 0 0 2295313 2700 1128 3261 811 3759 11659 375322 397474 432534 407415 694227 2306972 0.99490 0.99370 0.00000 0.00040 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 224898 3946 9694 2559 208699 203335 350 32443 8761 2469 224898 173847 20221 19192 7723 2202 203335 168922 20156 -6455 6822 1954 173847 134167 20000 23498 6995 1748 168922 1.00000 1 0 14140 12987 1153 100514 96726 3788 4941 BENEFICIAL INTEREST IN ASSETS HELD BY MADISON COMMUNITY FOUNDATION 216590 216590 PART V, LINE 4: THE INCOME FROM THE ENDOWMENT FUNDS CAN BE USED TO SUPPORT THE ORGANIZATION'S GENERAL ACTIVITIES.
