With a strong focus on individual technical mastery and artistic growth rooted in communication, the Festival fosters a challenging, immersive musical environment. Over the course of 3 weeks, students participated in multiple solo, chamber, and conductorless chamber orchestra performance opportunities in the new facilities, whose use was donated in-kind, and throughout the community. Studio classes, distinguished guest artist masterclasses, and competitions provide students with high and low-stress environments to build and refine their performance skills. The Rushmore Music Festival welcomed students from around the United States on an audition-accepted basis, providing them with full-tuition fellowships. Students were responsible only for the cost of a meal plan. 540 818 Performance Guild - Students from the local communities of Rapid City and Spearfish performed for out-of-state judges to receive feedback and then perform in a showcase concert. 91141 100000 0 In order to enhance accessibility to Classical Music, we applied for and received a grant to create Project BeethoVAN. Project BeethoVAN allows the Rushmore Music Festival to to bring world-class classical music performances directly to the people in our community as well as surrounding communities. We do this through the acquisition and customization of a 12-passenger van, an enclosed cargo trailer, and the the retrofitting of the enclosed cargo trailer into a mobile concert venue. Labor was provided through a partnership with South Dakota School of Mines and Technology Mechanical Engineering Students. This project will continue through 2023. 0 0 0 160722 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 7 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 7 7 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 X Brett Walfish 6056463146 13271 Klondike Road Rapid City SD 57702 X Brett Walfish Co-Founder, President, and Executive Director 40 X X 0 0 0 Katie Smirnova Co-Founder, Artistic Director, Secretary 40 X X 0 0 0 Jacqueleen Baker Vice President 15 X X 0 0 0 Alevtina Smirnova Board Member 1 X 0 0 0 Scott Schutz Board Member 1 X 0 0 0 Justice Fuegen Board Member 1 X 0 0 0 Philip Setzer Board Member 1 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 7599 0 13250 261386 0 282235 Special Event Ticket Sales 711130 5620 5620 0 0 Program Fees- Applications, meal plan, program advertising, and ticket sales 711130 19830 19830 0 0 Performance Guild 711130 819 819 0 0 1 1 0 0 26270 38 0 0 38 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 7599 0 308543 26270 0 38 X 0 0 2000 2000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 388 0 388 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 22726 20741 1985 0 2350 2350 0 0 2011 0 2011 0 136 0 136 0 0 0 0 0 1284 250 182 852 22584 13674 6600 2310 0 0 0 0 905 0 0 905 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2755 0 2755 0 Music Supplies, Field Trips, Concert Receptions, Piano maintenance,Event Catering, shipping 37544 30567 3419 3558 Vehicle Acquisition of Mercedes Sprinter Van & Stage Trailer 91140 91140 0 0 Student Practice Cabin Construction 76708 0 76708 0 Credit Card Processing Fees 1157 0 1157 0 0 0 0 0 263688 160722 95341 7625 158 638 57774 203410 500 6780 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 103876 1166 8000 102710 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 66432 313538 528 99457 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 820 5788 0 1348 105245 X 65084 86293 0 122000 65084 208293 66432 313538 X 44855 0 0 0 0 98354 X 0 0 0 X 36376 28978 50741 39358 282235 437688 21069 21165 43326 23817 26269 135646 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 57445 50143 94067 63175 308504 573334 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 573334 57445 50143 94067 63175 308504 573334 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 0 0 8000 291 7709 0 0 0 0 0 95876 875 95001 0 0 0 0 102710 Schedule D, Part I, Line 2 Practice Cabin in the size of 12' x 12' was purchased and acquired by the organization for $8,000 Schedule D, Part I, Line 4 $4,736 represents Audio-Video assets acquired to assist the organization in livestreaming and recording Schedule D, Part VI, Line 1d This number represents a combination of the purchased Mercedes Sprinter Van for $73,810, a Stage Trailer for $16,200, and Audio Video Gear Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2 President and co-Founder, Brett Walfish is married to co-founder, and board member, Katie Smirnova.
