Creative professionals are increasingly looking for new ways of adapting their activities to a changing landscape. Accordingly, the professional training provided through the Global Leaders Institute and OAcademy is increasingly attracting a wider range of beneficiaries and participants. This has led to growth in terms of the activities offered through the GLI and OAcademy, including a range of organizational exchanges and residencies. To support the development of performing artists and to connect these artists with the local community, the Organization also introduced the concert series Montero at Prager. 1 0 952475 20629 560501 OAcademy is an online music conservatory that reinvents music education for the real world, bridging the gap between location and opportunity. Combining a global faculty with in-person residencies, OAcademy empowers diverse talents to become job-winning artists. A rigorously selected cohort of 80 rising musicians from across the globe participates in the annual 6-month journey that focuses on the cultivation of essential skills required by professional musicians in an era when music-making formats and structures are rapidly shifting. Using technology to create powerful learning opportunities and career-advancing networks for those with limited resources, OAcademy is working to level the global music playing field by breaking down age-old centers of access. Co-curating institutional partners include The Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Canada's National Arts Centre, and Bard College Conservatory.Beyond its core orchestra academy, OAcademy houses three branded off-shoot activities: the Carlos Miguel Prieto Conducting Fellowship, Gabriela Ortiz Composing Studio, and Gabriela Montero Piano Lab. The Carlos Miguel Prieto Fellowship provides rising conductors with formative tools including comprehensive technique, musicianship, and leadership training needed to access world-class career opportunities. The Gabriela Ortiz Composing Studio provides a lab for emerging composers to take the next step in a global career. The Gabriela Montero Piano Lab provides immersive training to rising pianists where they learn from one of the world's top leading soloists and composers.The Organization also oversees Sinfnica Azteca, a collaborative project with Fundacin Azteca in Mexico that creates a leading and innovative platform in music education that connects the worlds of education and international performance. 702683 473345 The Global Leaders Institute equips arts professionals to grow creative enterprises that impact communities through an innovative and newly launched MBA in Arts Innovation. Co-curated by 9 top universities and think tanks including Harvard, Georgetown, Stanford, Duke, University of Chicago, and more, the GLI's MBA journey is guided by a world-class faculty that includes Nobel laureates, Grammy winners, Polar Prize awardees, TED presenters, and an institutional network of dynamic field partners spanning 40+ nations. 289231 The newly launched Montero at Prager concert series brings world-class musicians, mentorship, and community engagement to Maryland's Eastern Shore. From the intimate setting of the Prager Family Center for the Arts in the heart of downtown Easton, audiences enjoy up-close performances by some of the most acclaimed artists of our time. 1944389 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 52 0 1 5 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 X 71 71 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 X The Organization 7032360010 1701 Rhode Island Avenue NW Washington DC 20036 Felipe Antonio Custer Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Carlos Arellano Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 David J Bates Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Pauline Beck Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Maria Benilde Ortiz Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Arturo Brillembourg Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Elisabeth Brillembourg Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Teresa Bulgheroni Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Cristina Burelli Member at Large 1.00 X 0 0 0 Pedro Burelli Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mario Cader-Frech Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mark Churchill Vice Chairman 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Nigel Clarke Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Terry Coles Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Lizette Corro Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Gemma Crews de Arellano Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jorge De La Guardia Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Juan Emilio Posada Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Isabel Ernst Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Ricardo Ernst Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Gabriela Febres-Cordero Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Alejandro Figueroa Jaramillo Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Leonor Filardo Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Leonor Gonzalez-Luft Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Emanuel Gonzalez-Revilla Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Luciana Gonzalez-Revilla Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Ron Goodman Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Carol Grefenstette-Bates Treasurer 1.00 X X 0 0 0 William Haseltine Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Barbara Herrera de Garza Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Grace Koh Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 John Kulback Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Carlos Lacayo Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Maria Lacayo Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Donna Lauderdale Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Leonardo Lawson Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Monica Lawson Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Daniel Levinas Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jane Lipton Cafritz Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Veorinca Lopez Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Nuria Malla Robles Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mariana Martinez Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 JoAnn Mason Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 John Mason Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Rolf Meijer-Werner Member at Large 1.00 X 0 0 0 Margarita Mitrov Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jorge Montoya Member at Large 1.00 X 0 0 0 Ricardo Obert Martinez Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Hilda Ochoa-Brillembourg Chairman 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Michael Olding Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Pilar O'Leary Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Gaston Ormazabal Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Nelson Ortiz Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Antonio Ortiz Mena Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Andrew C Quale Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Drina Rendic Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Marisol Rodriguez Copello Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Javier Sancho Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Cecilia Schultz Secretary 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Guillermo Schultz Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 David M Scwarz Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Pepita Serrano Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Nathan Shabot Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 David Siminick Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Suzanne Siskel Member at Large 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jody Steiger Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Barron M Tenny Member at Large 1.00 X 0 0 0 Enrique Valdez Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Ezequiel Vazquez-Ger Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 John Waterston Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Alyson Wood Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mark Gillespie CEO 40.00 X 147761 0 15550 147761 0 15550 1 0 1 0 Gabriela Montero 1701 Rhode Island Avenue NW Washington DC 20036 Oacademy and Montero Prager Concert 129300 Stephen McElroy 1701 Rhode Island Avenue NW Washington DC 20036 Oacademy and Montero Prager Concert 124300 2 286118 1119809 53517 1405927 Tuition 900099 1033846 1033846 1033846 169 169 145328 286118 145328 0 2439942 1033846 0 169 20629 20629 229084 179744 34203 15137 226647 177831 33840 14976 7771 6097 1160 514 19035 14935 2842 1258 34354 26955 5129 2270 60063 60063 28000 28000 53196 31371 21825 22282 17694 3283 1305 13110 10287 1957 866 1896 1488 283 125 5901 4630 881 390 Program related expense 1090765 1090765 0 0 Concerts 281975 281975 Global Leaders - in kin 56314 53517 2797 Bank card fees 20803 14709 6094 0 12366 11762 419 185 2184191 1944389 150154 89648 466976 840673 195986 259438 41902 39531 17343 15455 3784 1888 2590 1675 711238 1143205 58955 260846 453163 427488 512118 688334 X 199120 454871 199120 454871 711238 1143205 255751 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 1634036 936413 946288 1385848 1620449 6523034 1634036 936413 946288 1385848 1620449 6523034 2726507 3796527 13 3 52 89 169 326 6523360 2720216 0.58200 0.66460 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 17343 15455 1888 1888 X 2713653 273711 273711 2439942 0 2439942 2457902 273711 273711 2184191 0 2184191 Part X, Line 2: The following was disclosed related to uncertain tax positions in the financial statements.
