Activities included four mainstage productions, as well as additional appearances as a guest of the region's leading performing arts organizations.There were four mainstage productions in the 2023-2024 season. In November 2023, we presented the first of two joint productions with National Philharmonic Orchestra, "UNIVERSAL LONGINGS," at the Music Center at Strathmore in Bethesda, Maryland. The concert celebrated compositional voices of both the past and present, meant to demonstrate the power of song. The program included the East Coast premiere of composer James Lee III's 2023 Breaths of Universal Longings and Venezuelan composer Antonio Estvez's 1954 Cantata Criolla.In December 2023, we presented DC's beloved holiday tradition, "A CANDLELIGHT CHRISTMAS," with one performance at the Music Center at Strathmore in Maryland and four performances at the Kennedy Center Concert Hall in DC. All five performances sold out.In March 2024, we presented the second of two joint productions with National Philharmonic Orchestra, "L'ETERNAL," at the Music Center at Strathmore. The concert celebrated the sacred choral works of Lili Boulanger, Igor Stravinsky, and Ludwig van Beethoven, showcasing how each composer explored faith and spirituality using their own unique voice.In June 2024 we presented "ELIJAH REIMAGINED" at the Kennedy Center in DC with Grammy Award-winning baritone Will Liverman in the title role and custom projections by Camilla Tassi to add visual spectacle to the production. The University of Michigan Chamber Choir and the Children's Chorus of Washington were also part of the musical forces for this production. Following the DC performance, members of the Chorus and Liverman traveled to Buenos Aires, Argentina, for two sold-out performances of the production.This year also included the continuation of our high school SIDE BY SIDE program, where The Washington Chorus shares the stage with the next generation of choral singers. Each year, the Side by Side program selects up to two outstanding local youth choruses to partner with The Washington Chorus for the unique experience of rehearsing and performing alongside a world-class symphonic chorus on the Kennedy Center and Strathmore Concert Hall stages. During the Candlelight Christmas concerts, the youth choruses perform their own set of music as well as sing within full chorus. This year featured GenOUT Youth Chorus and the Takoma Academy Camerata.Guest appearances this season were numerous. In July 2023, the Chorus joined the National Symphony Orchestra at Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts in two productions, first "THE PLANETS" suite by Gustav Holst and second "STUDIO GHIBLI," a program of video game music.In April 2024, the Chorus again joined the National Symphony Orchestra, this time at the Kennedy Center in DC, for two performances of the FAURE REQUIEM under the direction of Bernard Labadie.And finally, the Chorus once again planned and headlined "JOYFULLY TOGETHER," a festival of choral ensembles from around the National Capital Region, with musical guest Santino Fontana, at Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts in June 2024. 1288118 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 43 0 1 6 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 13 13 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 X X Eric J Rubio Director of Finance 2023426221 945 G Street NW 211 Washington DC 200014531 Kara Morrissey Chair 8.00 X X 0 0 0 Taylor Cortright Treasurer 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Sam Zhao Secretary 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Donald Borut Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Peter Clunie Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Louis R Cohen Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Bradley L Cullen Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jeri Darling Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Catherine French Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Paul S Lee Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Lisa McLane Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 John Shakow Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Andrew Teie Trustee 1.00 X 0 0 0 Anthony Salvi-Exner Executive Director 40.00 X 153000 0 2120 Emma Moores Deputy Director 40.00 X 102137 0 4085 255137 0 6205 2 0 1 0 Eugene Rogers 945 G Street NW 211 Washington DC 20001 Artistic Director 147500 1 115588 322336 372724 17668 810648 Concert ticket sales 711300 654657 654657 Concert honoraria 711300 47000 47000 Singer/Chorus dues 711300 36989 36989 738646 12790 12790 259485 237392 22093 22093 22093 37750 115588 62275 -24525 -24525 12301 6432 5869 5869 CC Rewards 900099 1817 1817 1817 1567338 746332 0 10358 158119 88738 35267 34114 524509 294360 116987 113162 11432 6416 2550 2466 27109 15214 6046 5849 40047 22475 8932 8640 17100 17100 4091 4091 24695 94 10875 13726 112631 107886 4745 128855 86075 20612 22168 32112 15028 7283 9801 16956 13667 2117 1172 9279 9279 4842 2215 1171 1456 Concert production cost 657466 635950 21516 1769243 1288118 242310 238815 200289 243440 18323 18911 3164 1625 15271 35456 46393 25761 29911 20632 666899 541096 100209 70372 1034066 931532 5074 73295 3314 0 106232 76381 114620 149676 X 901123 762945 18323 18911 919446 781856 1034066 931532 -201905 64315 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 880709 1021685 1399516 726534 810648 4839092 525824 155546 466820 546188 752764 2447142 0 4360 0 4530 0 8890 1406533 1181591 1866336 1277252 1563412 7295124 77121 78992 73869 88777 97102 415861 0 77121 78992 73869 88777 97102 415861 6879263 4081 2424 13827 15955 12790 49077 4081 2424 13827 15955 12790 49077 1410614 1184015 1880163 1293207 1576202 7344201 0.93670 0.93820 0.00670 0.00560 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 4091 4091 0 Part II-B, Line 1: The Washington Chorus is a member of a cohort of the arts organizations in Washington, DC with annual budgets over $1MM.
