EACH DAY, THE CENTER EMBRACES A DIVERSE COMMUNITY OF LISTENERS, LEARNERS AND PERFORMERS -- EVERYONE WHO WANTS MUSIC IN THEIR LIVES. 0 0 3079102 175744 2582480 Lucy Moses School, New York's largest community school of the arts, serves all ages, backgrounds and skill levels -- from accomplished musicians to aspiring beginners. Each year 2,500 students come to Lucy Moses School for lessons and classes in music, dance and theater, as well as inspirational performances by peers and master classes by renowned musicians such as Jacob TV, pianist, Julia Martin, violinist, and Ilya Kaler. Students pay tuition, which covers about 60% of the cost of their studies; many students are offered financial aid. The Center's Theater Wing is a creative hub of classes, school vacation programs, and presentations that focus on musical theater works: examining the masterpieces of the genre, and creating and presenting new works for young and adult audiences. The Center's Outreach Programs give students in other areas of the city (Long Island City, Harlem) access to the Center's finest educational opportunities closer to home, while giving the opportunity for and encouraging participation in the Center's community on West 67th Street. 1547152 976904 Merkin Concert Hall is renowned for its innovative and diverse programming -- from experimental works by up-and-coming composers to jazz and classical concerts to Broadway classics and family musical reviews. Performances in 09-10 included a line-up of renowned talent. 918985 56397 143630 The Special Music School is the only K-8 public school in New York for musically-gifted children -- and a leading music education innovator. Kaufman Center provides the funding for the entire music program, which includes two private lessons each week for all students as well as classes in theory, music history, and chorus. Funding for the music program comes entirely from contributions since, as a public school, the Special Music School does not collect tuition. Students who have completed the eighth grade of the Special Music School, as well as applicants from the Lucy Moses School and the rest of the community who demonstrate extraordinary talent and accomplishment in music, and who have expressed a desire to explore the path to a career in music may apply to the Young Artists Program, an after-school and weekend program for advanced music studies in an instrument, plus theory, ensemble and a robust performing schedule. 53319 Special Projects at Kaufman Center are generally short term initiatives that are funded separately to promote the Center's mission. Projects in 2009 included a music/drama residency at Manhattan School for Children, a commissioned work by David Rakowski and an institutional marketing analysis. 37190 The Birnbaum Music Library serves the diverse populations of Kaufman Center. With its comprehensive collection of Israeli music and tapes, the library is available to composers and performers alike. Faculty and students of both Kaufman Center schools can find repertoire they need to teach or perform. 90509 5635748 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 125 0 1 246 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 26 25 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 NY X SUSAN COHEN 2125013303 129 WEST 67TH STREET new york NY 10023 ms LYDIA KONTOS 50.00 X X 201549 0 26328 MRS PHYLLIS FEDER 2.00 X X 0 0 0 mrs lINDA SHAPIRO chemt 2.00 X X 0 0 0 MS ROSALIND DEVON 2.00 X X 0 0 0 mr charles dimston 2.00 X X 0 0 0 mr irVING SITNICK 2.00 X X 0 0 0 mr david klafter 2.00 X X 0 0 0 ms BETHANY MILLARD 15.00 X X 0 0 0 mr lEONARD GOODMAN 2.00 X X 0 0 0 MRS ELAINE KAUFMAN 2.00 X X 0 0 0 mr soloMON N MERKIN 2.00 X X 0 0 0 ms christina m mason 2.00 X X 0 0 0 ms kara unterberg 2.00 X 0 0 0 MS ETTA BRANDMAN 2.00 X 0 0 0 Ms Paula Del Nunzio 2.00 X 0 0 0 ms Andrea brown 2.00 X 0 0 0 mr gregory fierce 2.00 X 0 0 0 Ms Hadassah Weiner 2.00 X 0 0 0 MRS CONNIE GOODMAN 2.00 X 0 0 0 ms karen sherry 2.00 X 0 0 0 ms joy wyatt 2.00 X 0 0 0 mrs wendy mosler 2.00 X 0 0 0 mr roy niederhoffer 2.00 X 0 0 0 ms cathy white o'rourke 2.00 X 0 0 0 mr barry piafsky 2.00 X 0 0 0 ms judith rom 2.00 X 0 0 0 dr tzipora jochsberger X 36986 0 0 238535 0 26328 1 1 1 0 Steinway and Sons PO Box 40000 Hartford CT 61501 Piano Purchases and Repairs and maint 122040 Tessitura PO Box 670245 Dallas TX 753670245 Software purchase and support 108338 2 652106 478522 1855668 53935 2986296 Tuition 611600 2582480 2582480 presentation/facility 711130 976904 976904 special music school 611600 143630 143630 3703014 187653 187653 606861 839567 -232706 -232706 -232706 5427394 5375665 51729 51729 51729 63085 652106 117562 -54477 -54477 6641509 3703014 0 -47801 232141 232141 323196 323196 3213188 2856302 57954 298932 31111 28097 490 2524 204128 166685 14348 23095 269675 242366 4435 22874 53176 53176 24905 24905 109485 109485 32218 32218 582093 542537 25870 13686 189820 156285 1775 31760 302287 264097 6522 31668 253313 222171 11773 19369 13204 13204 577957 512543 30472 34942 equipment rental and ma 96300 72457 8351 15492 cultivation expense 19600 11113 1494 6993 concession expense 5758 5758 6533555 5635748 286987 610820 225 250 4674641 4533272 1130015 702667 28896 4092 101971 124571 23896469 6660843 17904308 17235626 4945724 6243166 525049 32484 50077 29343313 28893721 205165 199224 691753 617351 1472640 458020 156541 131150 2526099 1405745 X 18294449 19384350 2431815 2012676 6090950 6090950 26817214 27487976 29343313 28893721 X 0 1 1 X 0 X 6065950 223648 223648 6065950 5552950 513000 6065950 1.00000 1 0 993154 993154 10187829 10642534 5972089 14858274 2072952 688754 1384198 17235626 Accrued retirement benefit payable 131150 131150 6641509 6533555 107954 562808 562808 670762 7929305 562808 957129 1519937 6409368 232141 232141 6641509 7258543 957129 957129 6301414 232141 232141 6533555 Part V, Line 4: Description of Intended Use of Endowment Funds: Endowment Funds are restricted to investment in perpetuity, the income from which is expendable to support various programs and the operations of the entity.
