DescriptionCode:711130-Music Programs: The St Louis Symphony is dedicated to upholding a long and rich tradition of great music. Since 1880, the organization has entertained several generations of individuals in various concert halls, public parks, schools, churches and elsewhere. Nearly 250,000 people listen to music presented by the organization every year. In addition to the concerts at Powell Hall, more than one-third of the organization's audiences hear musicians perform at parks, schools, churches and other venues throughout the region. In addition, more than 40% of the total audience for all performances during the year pays little or nothing to hear those performances. The organization's best-known educational programs are its three series of education concerts in Powell Hall, which began in the 1920s and today serve over 40,000 students from 1,000 schools annually. In addition to educating and entertaining youngsters at Powell Hall, the musicians make nearly 150 visits to local schools each season. Many of these visits occur through the E. Desmond Lee Fine Arts Education Collaborative, a partnership with the University of Missouri-St. Louis (UMSL), twelve local arts organizations, and more than 100 schools in 14 districts. The organization also has an extenisve community partnership effort. Each year musicians perform free of charge almost 300 times to facilitate musical understanding. In addition, our IN UNISON Program, a partnership between the organization and 40 African-American chruches, is designed to forge new musical collaborations at the churches and at Powell Hall.Description

SchD_P10_S00_L00Schedule D, Part XOn September 1, 2009. the Orchestra adopted recently issued accounting rules for uncertain tax positions. These rules require financial statement recognition of the impact of a tax position if a position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. The rules also provide guidance on measurement, derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, transition, and disclosure requirements for uncertain tax positions. The adoption of the new rules had no impact on the consolidated financial statements as of August 31, 2010. The Orchestra's tax returns for tax years 2006 and later remain subject to examination by taxing authorities.
