We encourage inter-cultural appreciation and understanding by performing contemporary, classical, and folk-derived music from the diverse cultural traditions of the Americas. We search out collaborations with composers, guest artists, other ensembles, and other organizations to enrich our own growth and to enrich the musical products we bring to the community. Between November 2022 and May 2023, Quintet of the Americas performed 14 free concerts in Queens plus 2 concerts in Manhattan reaching over 500 people: a diverse audience of African-Americans, Hispanics, Asians, Jews and Irish including low income seniors, the disabled, families, recent immigrants, and college students. These concerts were held at community spaces such as the Queens Botanical Garden, Church-in-the-Garden in Forest Hills, Maple Grove Cemetery in Kew Gardens, at four libraries, and at six senior centers. Two additional concerts were held at the National Opera Center and at 9B9 art Space, both in Manhattan and both live-streamed and archived on YouTube. Fall concerts came under a theme Festive Sounds and the spring concerts were titled Celebration of the Earth. Concerts featured the premieres of commissions by women composers Peri Mauer and Shanyse Strickland, past commissions by Christopher Kaufman, Carl MaultsBy, Adam Schoenberg, James Cohn, Carlos Franzetti, Ljova, and Edgar Colon-Hernandez. Other music included works by Valerie Coleman, Samuel Barber, Alexandra Molnar-Suhaida, Frank Ticheli and Julio Medaglia. Composers attended many programs and introduced their pieces. Quintet of the Americas reached over 1,000 students in school demonstration concerts at 3 public schools, PS92Q, PS 139Q, and PS513. Using music from Latin America, we performed concerts demonstrating the woodwind quintet instruments, and concepts of melody, harmony and rhythm. Students at each school performed with us on several pieces at the end of the programs using Latin American percussion instruments from our collection. These concerts reached a very diverse student audience: primarily Hispanic, Asian, and African-American with some white students. 68069 68069 68069 Kenneth Thomas Chairman/Treasurer 0 0 0 0 Barbara Oldham Executive Director 10 21838 0 0 Patricia Glunt Director 0 0 0 0 Richard Levitz Director 0 0 0 0 Alina Molina Director 0 0 0 0 David Oldham Director 0 0 0 0 Matthew Sullivan Director/oboist 1 7575 0 0 Christine Koehler Director 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NY Barbara Oldham 15 Circle Road Douglastown NY 11363 7182305189 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 81880 103475 82017 82565 89668 439605 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 81880 103475 82017 82565 89668 439605 439605 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 439605 1 1 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Description;Amount^Technology;1094|Office;224|Insurance;1559|Supplies;106|Royalty Commissions;3107|Books Dues Subscriptions;125|Travel;61|Interest;119^Total;6395^ Form 990-EZ, Part II, Line 24 Description;EOY Amount^Grants Receivable;7783^Total;7783^ Form 990-EZ, Part II, Line 26 Description;EOY Amount^Payroll Taxes Payable;485|Accrued Expenses;2145^Total;2630^
