("MSO") REACHES OUT TO DIVERSE AUDIENCES THROUGH CONCERT PERFORMANCES AND NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED EDUCATION AND OUTREACH PROGRAMS. ALL PROGRAMS ARE GUIDED BY THE MSO FAMILY SHARED VISION WHICH STATES THAT THE MSO EXISTS FOR THREE PURPOSES: TO COMFORT, EDUCATE, ENTERTAIN AND EXHILARATE THE HUMAN SOUL THROUGH EVENTS OF CULTURAL SIGNIFICANCE, RELEVANCE AND ARTISTIC CHALLENGE; TO EMBRACE, PRESERVE AND FOSTER OUR MUSICAL HERITAGE; AND TO ENHANCE THE VIBRANCY OF OUR COMMUNITY. 0 0 13799866 4500 3289588 THE MILWAUKEE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA IS AMONG THE FINEST ORCHESTRAS IN THE NATION AND THE LARGEST CULTURAL ORGANIZATION IN WISCONSIN. SINCE ITS INCEPTION IN 1959, THE MSO HAS RECEIVED CRITICAL ACCLAIM FOR ARTISTIC EXCELLENCE. THE 68 FULL-TIME PROFESSIONAL MUSICIANS IN THE SYMPHONY PERFORM MORE THAN 135 CONCERTS EACH SEASON FOR OVER 200,000 PATRONS. EDUCATION IS INTEGRAL TO THE MISSION OF THE MILWAUKEE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA AND COMPRISES TWO MAIN COMPONENTS: K-12 IN-SCHOOL AND EDUCATION PROGRAMS THAT ADDRESS THE NEED FOR INTEGRATED, HIGH-QUALITY ARTS EDUCATION IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND TRAINING OF YOUNG PROFESSIONAL MUSICIANS THROUGH PROGRAMS SUCH AS STARS OF TOMORROW CONCERTS AND SIDE-BY-SIDE COMPETITION, MSO READING, WISCONSIN YOUTH PIANO COMPETITION AND MILWAUKEE HIGH SCHOOL OF THE ARTS RESIDENCY PROGRAM. THE K-12 EDUCATION PROGRAMS OF THE MSO NOT ONLY PROVIDE ACCESS TO THE ARTS FOR UNDERSERVED STUDENTS AND FAMILIES, THEY ALSO ADDRESS THE NEED FOR INTEGRATED HIGH-QUALITY ARTS EXPOSURE AND EDUCATION IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS AS REQUIRED BY THE WISCONSIN DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION. THESE INITIATIVES CURRENTLY SERVE MORE THAN 29,000 STUDENTS AND HUNDREDS OF TEACHERS STATEWIDE, AND ARE DEVELOPED IN CONFORMITY WITH THE NATIONAL STANDARDS FOR ARTS EDUCATION AND THE WISCONSIN COMMON CORE STANDARDS. THE MSO CONTINUES TO ADAPT ITS EXISTING PROGRAMS AND DEVELOP NEW ONES THAT SUPPORT EDUCATION REFORM IN WISCONSIN. THIS EFFORT HAS BECOME EVEN MORE CRITICAL AS PROGRAMS IN THE ARTS HAVE BEEN DECIMATED BY DEEP CUTS TO THE EDUCATION BUDGET OF THE STATE. THE MSO OFFERED A TOTAL OF 31 YOUTH AND FAMILY CONCERTS IN THE 2013-2014 SEASON. 13799866 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 108 0 277 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 X 38 37 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 WI X CATHERINE KIEKHOFER 4142916010 1101 N MARKET ST STE 100 MILWAUKEE WI 53202 CORRY JO BIDDLE DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MARCIA BROOKS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 CASEY BRUNNER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 SACHIN CHHEDA DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 EDWARD DURANT DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN FACCHINI DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ALEXANDER FRASER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MICHAEL L GONZALEZ VICE CHAIRMAN 1.00 X X 0 0 0 MARTA HAAS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 RONALD R HADDOCK DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 DOUGLAS M HAGERMAN CHAIRMAN 12.00 X X 0 0 0 ERIC E HOBBS VICE CHAIRMAN 1.00 X X 0 0 0 KAREN HUNG DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ALYCE C KATAYAMA SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 ALEX KRAMER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 SUSAN L KURTZ DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 BRUCE R LANING DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 CHRIS LAYDEN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JANE LEWIS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 CHRISTIAN MITCHELL DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 PATRICK MURPHY DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ANDREW N NUNEMAKER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 STUART PARSONS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 DEBORAH PATEL DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 RICHARD D PAULS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN P SCHLEGEL DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MICHAEL J SCHMITZ DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JAY E SCHWISTER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 AMY SLOANE DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 GREGORY A SMITH TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 MARGARET STOEFFEL DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID C SWANSON DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JENIFER TATE DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 HARUKI TOYAMA DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 KIMBERLY WALKER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 FRANCIS WASIELEWSKI DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 HERBERT ZIEN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MARK NIEHAUS PRESIDENT & CEO 40.00 X X 210064 0 4548 CATHERINE KIEKHOFER VICE PRESIDENT OF FINANCE 40.00 X 103602 0 22624 EDO DE WAART MUSIC DIRECTOR 40.00 X 437192 0 0 FRANK ALMOND MUSICIAN 40.00 X 134642 0 38295 SUSAN LORIS VICE PRES OF MARKETING & EDUCATION 40.00 X 119876 0 9818 TANYA MAZOR-POSNER VICE PRESIDENT OF DEVELOPMENT 40.00 X 112107 0 3029 MARYELLEN GLEASON FORMER PRESIDENT & CEO 0.00 X 156538 0 0 1274021 0 78314 7 1 1 0 ARTS MARKETING SERVICES INC DEPARTMENT 325 PO BOX 8000 BUFFALO NY 14267 TELEMARKETING 192729 JOURNALSENTINEL INC PO BOX 78932 MILWAUKEE WI 532012929 ADVERTISING 140315 IHEARTMEDIA PO BOX 847304 DALLAS TX 752847304 ADVERTISING 113716 MILWAUKEE ARTS PARTNERS 1101 N MARKET ST SUITE 100 MILWAUKEE WI 53202 PAYMENTS FOR DATABASE MANAGEMENT 111641 JOURNAL BROADCAST GROUP PO BOX 203575 DALLAS TX 753203575 ADVERTISING 101940 5 765046 98035 631326 96214 10676197 12266818 TICKET SALES 711190 2759197 2759197 FEE FOR SERVICE 711190 529802 529802 3288999 171553 171553 1091 1091 250314 98035 110341 139973 139973 15868434 3288999 0 312617 4500 4500 1174491 742915 313458 118118 6846302 6395205 155000 296097 1163931 1069907 94024 1530245 1379856 87684 62705 882953 776922 64245 41786 23391 23391 47070 47070 231949 104171 127778 818646 766481 52165 332240 36212 237161 58867 168045 11820 156225 31099 22727 7529 843 26718 7154 15396 4168 31408 31408 59381 59381 29792 29792 PRODUCTION COSTS 1208811 1208811 0 0 ARTISTIC COSTS 1020477 1020477 0 0 MISCELLANEOUS 260553 93981 26060 140512 SALES DEVELOPMENT 206253 158727 21086 26440 39472 39472 16137727 13799866 1501783 836078 909644 2406777 2257437 672974 231762 147208 482161 474888 2632631 2446403 238705 186228 18770336 20174043 22890045 24062118 826408 552870 1787277 1982806 2478482 2482622 4879880 4875467 9972047 9893765 X -9698329 -7993771 3845991 1988081 18770336 20174043 12917998 14168353 22890045 24062118 X -269293 1519648 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 11512198 11224491 21467184 11500430 12266818 67971121 11512198 11224491 21467184 11500430 12266818 67971121 16133765 51837356 178238 174314 119788 171451 172644 816435 4156120 4169478 3634398 3546762 3428972 18935730 87723286 0.59090 0.59460 X PART II, SECTION B, LINE 10 -
