IRS990/Desc0The American Classical Orchestra, Inc. ("ACO") presented five concerts at Lincoln Center (four at Alice Tully Hall and one at David Geffen Hall), two concerts at St. Ignatius of Antioch Church, a Spring Gala benefit concert at the Central Park Boathouse, a Salon concert for patrons at the University Club, and a special Symphonic Symposium at St. Michaels Church Sanctuary. The ACO continued to present its award-winning education program Classical Music for Kids at no cost to New York City public schools. The 2016-2017 Season orchestral highlights included the Opening Night concert on September 22, 2016, with mezzo-soprano Avery Amereau in a performance of Berliozs Les Nuits dt; the four violinists Judson Griffin, Lisa Rautenberg, Cynthia Roberts & Jrg-Michael Schwarz playing Vivaldis Four Seasons with the ACO on October 25, 2016; the ensemble performing six Bach Cantatas on November 29, 2016 with the American Classical Orchestra Chorus; the Symphonic Symposium on March 13, 2017 led by Artistic Director Thomas Crawford this interactive forum explored the evolution of Beethovens 9th Symphony; the subsequent ACO performance of Beethovens 9th at David Geffen Hall on April 11, 2017, which was preceded by a Concert Preview led by Mr. Crawford with full orchestra; and the Italian Masters season finale on May 11, 2017, with leading violinist Krista Bennion Feeney performing the concertos of Nardini and Paganini.The Gala and Salon concerts allowed our patrons to appreciate the unique sonorities and sensitive sound of the period instruments in an intimate setting. In March 2017, the Brandenburg at the Boathouse Gala magnified the brilliance of several ACO principal musicians whom performed Bachs Brandenburg Concerto No. 5. The June 2017 Salon concert at the University Club featured virtuoso harpist Victoria Drake performing new transcriptions of works by Bach and Beethoven, among others. The program also included the Debussy Trio, a rare moment in which an ACO concert ventured past the 19th century. The Classical Music for Kids (CMK) program, A Visit to the Piet, revolved around Antonio Vivaldis position as music director at the Ospedale della Piet, a school for orphan girls in 18th century Venice. Despite being orphaned, these girls were trained at the highest musical level. They developed into talented musicians, and formed the first female orchestra of this caliber. The ACO school assembly program brought this uncanny story to life with three female violinists and Maestro Vivaldi performing a musical play about their music lessons at school. It centered on the girls' pursuit of excellence through the beauty of music and group effort. All musicians were dressed in 18th century costume while performing the Four Seasons for 21st century elementary school children.The ACOs New York City concerts in the 2016-17 season were attended by 5,732 people, and 280 attended the sold-out performance at East Stroudsburg University in Pennsylvania. Through our ongoing free ticket program for students at LaGuardia Community College, we distributed 150 tickets for our concerts at Lincoln Center. The Classical Music for Kids (CMK) program was brought to 22 schools in New York City and reached 3,000 students.

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 25% 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 addition, ACO actively sought a diverse group of donors by holding a benefit in both the 2017 and 2018 fiscal years.4. 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, 2018, 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.5. 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.
