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. **NOTE: The ensemble was on hiatus from performing during the 24-25 fiscal year due to the unavailability of the artistic director. This explains the lack of income and the minimal expenses (mainly ongoing costs such as insurance and web hosting).** Austin Baroque Orchestra was on hiatus during the time covered by this fiscal year and 990 due to the artistic director's not being available to lead. The ensemble returned to more regular performances in the following year. 0 0 0 James Moran President, Board of Directors 1 0 0 0 Aaron LaBrie Webmaster & Member, Board of Directors 3 0 0 0 Abigail Jackson Member, Board of Directors 1 0 0 0 William Traylor Artistic Director, Member Ex-officio & Acting Secretary/Treasurer, Board of Directors 5 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 20457 41864 3100 5377 80 70878 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 20457 41864 3100 5377 80 70878 0 70878 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 70878 0 1 0.73922 X Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Liability insurance - $500 * Computer/web fees (Web hosting, music distributor fees,domain registration) - $582.01 * Supplies (harpsichord wire) - $89.61 *Misc. meals - $82.68 The fault of our late filing is mine, and mine alone (William Traylor, artistic director, de facto executive director, founder). I have been a PhD student in music history since 2021 and the school year covered by this fiscal year was one during which I could not lead the ensemble, so we went on hiatus. The fiscal year covered by this 990, and the next one, were the busiest years of my program including major final/qualifying examinations, teaching responsibilities, dissertation prospectus/research, and conference presentations. I am now a doctoral candidate (meaning my only responsibilities going forward is writing my dissertation), and I am again living full-time in Austin after being mostly away (in Los Angeles 2021-23, and then in Dallas 2023-26) since 2021. Our ensemble is currently in the process of returning to regular performances in the 2026-27 season. The penalty the ensemble would incur due to my personal shortcoming would make that return to performing nearly impossible, as we are also having to re-engage with our donors and get back on a more solid financial footing. I humbly ask that the penalty be waived or at a minimum reduced, as I will be able to take better care of the ensemble's finances and tax reporting going forward, and to do so in a timely manner. You will notice that the 990 for our fiscal year that ended July 31, 2026, is (by the time someone reads this) already submitted, and you will notice that during that fiscal year we have slowly returned to performing. Thank you for your understanding as I get back to a more normal life after 5 very difficult years of study.
