IRS990/Desc0During its 2019/20 Season, The American Classical Orchestra, Inc., (ACO) presented three concerts at Lincoln Centers Alice Tully Hall; two salon concertsone at the National Arts Club, the other at Saint Ignatius of Antioch Episcopal Church; a choral concert at the Church of Saint Vincent Ferrer; and a family concert, with an instrument petting zoo, at the Norwalk Concert Hall, in Norwalk, CT. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the subsequent shutdown of all concert venues, ACOs last Alice Tully Hall concert of the season was cancelled. Throughout the 2019/20 season, Thomas Crawford, ACOs Founder and Artistic Director, continued his tradition of giving concert previews before each Alice Tully Hall performance. In them, he demonstrates themes and compositional techniques relevant to the music about to be heard, and does so with insight, wit, and precision, using members of the orchestra and their instruments to bring his vivid explanations to life. Audience members often remark that Maestro Crawfords concert previews help them hear the music in a new way, allowing them to understand what the composer was after. The season ended abruptly with a concert of baroque music on March 12th, the last night Lincoln Center was open before the lockdown caused by the coronavirus crisis. The program included works by Bach, Corelli, and Vivaldi, and featured three impressive soloists and other members of the orchestra in important roles.Classical Music for Kids (CMK) scheduled almost 60 on-site school performances for the 2019/20 school year and performed 30 before the lockdown kicked in. Two workshops were scheduled; one was actually taught. Three family concerts were scheduled; two were given. One private concert was scheduled but cancelled. While still performing, CMK produced two different programs: The Magic Recorder (featuring Horacio Franco and Stephanie Corwin, with other members of the orchestra) and Prokofievs ever-popular Peter and the Wolf (with Maestro Crawford and members of the ACO in costumes that reflected the characters they playedthe hunter, the duck, the cat, the bird, and the wolf). The students, who, with the help of CMKs informative Teachers Guide, were prepared in advance by their teachers, engaged enthusiastically throughout the program, sometimes mimicking the sounds of the animals they heard and challenging the wolf, during the question-and-answer period, to defend himself for swallowing the duck.In March of 2018, ACO launched the first of three anticipated Cycles of its Sfzp Project, an initiative designed to heighten public awareness of the fortepiano. Each annual cycle includes an international fortepiano competition, fortepiano master classes, and a fortepiano chamber concert (where the winner of the competition is announced). The winner then plays at an ACO Alice Tully Hall concert the following season. Cycle II, which focused on the works of Beethoven, including a marathon of his piano sonatas, would have been performed at various venues, including the New York Society for Ethical Culture, in May of 2020. It got cancelled, due to the pandemic.

IRS990/MissionDesc0The American Classical Orchestra recreates the sound world of the master composers. The ACO is devoted to preserving and performing the repertoire of 17th, 18th and 19th century composers. By playing the music on original instruments and using historic performance technique, we attempt to recreate the sounds an audience would have experienced when the music was written and first performed. We pass along skills and appreciation for this practice to future generations through concert performances and educational programs.Because period instruments were made of different materials, they produce a profoundly different sound from the 20th century instruments used in modern orchestras. Historical instruments, with their softer and more transparent, yet sometimes edgier tone, produce a delicacy in the gentler phrases and a pungent bite in the stronger passages. Using period instruments, the ACO can, in the 21st century, bring audiences closer to the musical genius of Bach, Mozart, Beethoven a

IRS990ScheduleA/FactsAndCircumstancesTestTxt0Current Year Facts and Circumstances: The following facts and circumstances apply in support of The American Classical Orchestra, Inc.s (ACO) public charity status: 1. Although the support percentage dipped below 33.33%, it is still well in excess of the 10% threshold and is substantial at 26% for the year. 2. ACOs support that was primarily public in nature came from solicitations of smaller dollar value donations from individuals, foundations and corporations as well as ticket sales for concerts. ACO is working actively to broaden its base of support by strengthening its development activities, e.g., more grant writing, soliciting corporate sponsorships, and seeking support for its acclaimed public education program called Classical Music for Kids. In addition, ACO is experimenting with new marketing approaches to increase ticket sales.3. In accordance with its mission, ACO hosts concerts on a large scale at Alice Tully Hall, Lincoln Center, which is the 2nd highest revenue generator. During the year ended June 30, 2020, various concerts were held which brought classical masterpieces to life through music performed on original instruments. Additional concerts were held at St. Ignatius Church of the Antioch, also generating ticket revenue.4. Finally, ACOs childrens program, Classical Music for Kids, is focused on introducing children to classical music and to make live performance experience accessible to school audiences. ACO is currently working on streaming videos for use in schools due to the recent pandemic.
