The Austin Baroque Orchestra & Chorus seeks to educate and edify its audiences by immersing them in the sound-world of the past by performing high-quality music from the sixteenth, seventeenth, eighteenth, and early nineteenth centuries using replicas of period instruments and historically-informed performance techniques. ABO was largely on hiatus during the time period covered by the 22-23 tax year. We have resumed regular concerts as of November, 2023. During the hiatus we performed three outreach concerts: one at a church in San Antonio and two at a library in a suburb of Austin. The church performance was in exchange for free use of their facilities for a regular season concert to take place in Feb. 2024 (ABO paid the musicians from the general fund), and the two library concerts were paid for by the library (all fees/hotel paid by the library; our only expense was a rental van to move a harpsichord). 1072 1866 1866 James Moran President, Board of Directors 5 0 0 0 Chelsee Sandaker Member, Board of Directors 5 0 0 0 Aaron LaBrie Webmaster & Member, Board of Directors 5 0 0 0 Abigail Jackson Member, Board of Directors 5 0 0 0 William Traylor Artistic Director, Member Ex-officio & Acting Secretary/Treasurer, Board of Directors 15 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 William Traylor 8317 Nicola Trail Austin TX 78745 5129126827 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 46259 44242 20457 41864 3100 155922 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 46259 44242 20457 41864 3100 155922 55000 100922 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 155922 52440 0.64726 0.55998 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 $263.59 - Advertising * $32.74 - Bank fees * $225.00 - Professional organization dues * $300.00 - Liability insurance * $51.00 - TX Comptroller franchise tax late fee * $114.81 - Misc. meals * $601.38 - Computer/web (Web hosting, Distrokid, domain registration, GoogleDrive) * $23.93 - Office supplies * $257.55 - Airfare * $40.00 - Concert-related mileage * $24.00 - Non-concert travel & parking * $135.26 - Hotel/housing * $219.44 - Charitable contributions I respectfully ask the IRS that our late fee be waived. The lateness is through no fault of any person affiliated with ABO other than me. During the time covered by this form, we had no administrator, so those responsibilities fell on me. Because we were on concert hiatus, our board only met once to discuss how and when we might return from hiatus. I am a full-time doctoral student in musicology and am also working part-time as a gigging musician; in addition to this, I completed a cross-country move in June 2023. The combination of these things led to my not completing the form in October as I should have. We have in the meantime hired a new administrator who has expressed a desire to learn to keep the books for the ensemble, so I will be teaching her how to do this and this will include tax forms such as this one. I understand that we have had problems in previous years with filing on time, but I can assure you that this will no longer be the case. It was difficult for me to admit my limitations as far as my time and energy, but I did so for the sake of our ensemble and will now gladly delegate tasks such as these when I do not feel I have the adequate time to completely them in a timely manner. A waiver of late fees will allow us to continue to educate and entertain our audiences in central and south Texas, and I humbly ask for your help in doing this.
