("MSO") REACHES OUT TO DIVERSE AUDIENCES THROUGH CONCERT PERFORMANCES AND NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED EDUCATION AND OUTREACH PROGRAMS. ALL PROGRAMS ARE GUIDED BY THE MSO FAMILY SHARED VISION WHICH STATES THAT THE MSO EXISTS FOR THREE PURPOSES: TO COMFORT, EDUCATE, ENTERTAIN AND EXHILARATE THE HUMAN SOUL THROUGH EVENTS OF CULTURAL SIGNIFICANCE, RELEVANCE AND ARTISTIC CHALLENGE; TO EMBRACE, PRESERVE AND FOSTER OUR MUSICAL HERITAGE; AND TO ENHANCE THE VIBRANCY OF OUR COMMUNITY. 0 0 12389539 2955379 THE MILWAUKEE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA IS AMONG THE FINEST ORCHESTRAS IN THE NATION AND THE LARGEST CULTURAL ORGANIZATION IN WISCONSIN. SINCE ITS INCEPTION IN 1959, THE MSO HAS RECEIVED CRITICAL ACCLAIM FOR ARTISTIC EXCELLENCE. IN ADDITION TO MAKING A $44.3 MILLION ECONOMIC IMPACT IN THE MILWAUKEE METROPOLITAN AREA AND INFUSING $90 MILLION INTO WEST WISCONSIN AVENUE AS WE RESTORE THE WARNER GRAND THEATER, THE 70 FULL-TIME PROFESSIONAL MUSICIANS IN THE SYMPHONY PERFORM MORE THAN 135 CONCERTS EACH SEASON FOR OVER 200,000 PATRONS.TO ENSURE THE HEALTH AND WELLBEING OF MSO STAFF AND PATRONS, AS WELL AS COVID19 RELATED RESTRICTIONS ON GATHERING SIZE AND CAPACITY LIMITS, THE MSO CANCELLED PERFORMANCES IN THE FINAL MONTHS OF THE 2019-2020 SEASON. 370271 4500 159711 EDUCATION IS INTEGRAL TO THE MISSION OF THE MILWAUKEE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA AND COMPRISES TWO MAIN COMPONENTS: K-12 IN-SCHOOL AND EDUCATION PROGRAMS THAT ADDRESS THE NEED FOR INTEGRATED, HIGH-QUALITY ARTS EDUCATION IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND TRAINING OF YOUNG PROFESSIONAL MUSICIANS THROUGH PROGRAMS SUCH AS STARS OF TOMORROW CONCERTS AND SIDE-BY-SIDE COMPETITION, AND THE WISCONSIN YOUTH PIANO COMPETITION. THE K-12 EDUCATION PROGRAMS OF THE MSO NOT ONLY PROVIDE ACCESS TO THE ARTS FOR UNDERSERVED STUDENTS AND FAMILIES, THEY ALSO ADDRESS THE NEED FOR INTEGRATED HIGH-QUALITY ARTS EXPOSURE AND EDUCATION IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS AS REQUIRED BY THE WISCONSIN DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION. THESE INITIATIVES CURRENTLY SERVE MORE THAN 30,000 STUDENTS AND HUNDREDS OF TEACHERS STATEWIDE, AND ARE DEVELOPED IN CONFORMITY WITH THE NATIONAL STANDARDS FOR ARTS EDUCATION AND THE WISCONSIN COMMON CORE STANDARDS. THE MSO CONTINUES TO ADAPT ITS EXISTING PROGRAMS AND DEVELOP NEW ONES THAT SUPPORT EDUCATION REFORM IN WISCONSIN. THIS EFFORT HAS BECOME EVEN MORE CRITICAL AS PROGRAMS IN THE ARTS HAVE BEEN DECIMATED BY DEEP CUTS TO THE EDUCATION BUDGET OF THE STATE. THE MSO OFFERED A TOTAL OF 29 YOUTH AND FAMILY CONCERTS AND 450 IN-SCHOOL PERFORMANCES IN THE 2019-2020 SEASON. 12759810 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 140 0 284 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 37 36 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 WI X X ROBIN SASMAN 4142916010 212 W WISCONSIN AVE MILWAUKEE WI 53203 MARK NIEHAUS PRESIDENT & EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X X 286794 0 32122 FRANK ALMOND MSO MUSICIAN DIRECTOR 40.00 X 142625 0 27010 SUSAN LORIS EXECUTIVE VP 40.00 X 147863 0 21533 CATHERINE KIEKHOFER VP FINANCE & ADMIN (THRU MARCH 2020) 40.00 X 118843 0 28605 BRET DORHOUT VP ARTISTIC PLANNING 40.00 X 128604 0 12403 RICHARD PRETAT STAFF AND MUSICIAN 40.00 X 103991 0 23505 ROBIN SASMAN VP FINANCE & ADMIN (MARCH 2020) 40.00 X 5620 0 118 ANDY NUNEMAKER BOARD CHAIRMAN 15.00 X X 0 0 0 SUSAN MARTIN CHAIR ELECT 10.00 X X 0 0 0 DOUGLAS HAGERMAN IMMEDIATE PAST CHAIR 10.00 X X 0 0 0 PATRICK MURPHY TREASURER 15.00 X X 0 0 0 ALYCE COYNE KATAYAMA BOARD SECRETARY 5.00 X X 0 0 0 KAREN HUNG BOARD DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 MICHAEL J SCHMITZ BOARD DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 HARUKI TOYAMA BOARD DIRECTOR 10.00 X 0 0 0 LOUIS ANDREW BOARD DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JEFF COSTAKOS BOARD DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MARION GOTTSCHALK BOARD DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ERIC HOBBS BOARD DIRECTOR 10.00 X 0 0 0 ERIC JORGENSEN BOARD DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 PETER MAHLER BOARD DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 CHRISTOPHER MILLER BOARD DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 CHRISTIAN MITCHELL BOARD DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 LARRY MORTON BOARD DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 BRUCE MYERS BOARD DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MAURA PACKHAM BOARD DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 STUART PARSONS BOARD DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 RICHARD PAULS BOARD DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 LESLIE PLAMANN BOARD DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ALICE READ BOARD DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JAY SCHWISTER BOARD DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 DALE SMITH BOARD DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 GREGORY SMITH BOARD DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 DICK STOLL BOARD DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID UIHLEIN BOARD DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JULIE UIHLEIN BOARD DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 HERB ZIEN BOARD DIRECTOR 5.00 X 0 0 0 SACHIN CHHEDA CITY APPOINTED DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 PEGGE SYTKOWSKI CITY APPOINTED DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 FRANCIS WASIELEWSKI CITY APPOINTED DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 LEX ALLEN COUNTY APPOINTED DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 CHRISTOPHER LAYDEN COUNTY APPOINTED DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ELIZABETH RIDLEY COUNTY APPOINTED DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 934340 0 145296 6 0 1 0 THE SCAN GROUP INC W222 N625 CHEANEY DRIVE WAUKESHA WI 53186 PRINTING 210385 CAMPBELL & COMPANY ONE EAST WACKER DRIVE CHICAGO IL 60601 CONSULTANT 172757 LYNCH2 792 WEST BARTLETT ROAD BARTLETT IL 60103 WEBSITE SERVICES 170874 TARGET RESOURCE GROUP LLC 90 S CASCADE AVE STE 510 COLORADO SPRINGS CO 80903 MARKETING CONSULTANTS 132368 PTG LIVE EVENTS LLC 144 EAST WELLS STREET MILWAUKEE WI 53202 PERFORMANCE VENUE RENTAL 128444 9 1701587 839260 2016595 26778425 7755737 31335867 TICKET SALES 711190 3037103 3037103 FEE FOR SERVICE 711190 77987 77987 3115090 248057 248057 411 411 8975 5578 3397 3397 34702822 3115090 0 251865 4500 4500 365035 230833 134202 7745590 6647022 400501 698067 479965 403091 30707 46167 2081007 1745308 130364 205335 829169 689077 46236 93856 187238 187238 1255881 957653 104376 193852 828145 813445 14700 288688 82635 140241 65812 192841 152952 19743 20146 30300 26509 1794 1997 39174 13021 10796 15357 54211 54211 55768 44317 4984 6467 80346 74398 2589 3359 PRODUCTION COSTS 960752 960752 MISCELLANEOUS 528011 39152 50606 438253 SUBSCRIBER EVENT CATERI 99490 2080 97410 BANK FEES 97506 81653 15853 40675 22245 3649 14781 16244292 12759810 1231630 2252852 4500291 6790428 30606679 30224456 70422 39847 416685 316389 1141172 846377 224389 294795 46082354 66249216 81900820 103915131 607911 831983 1811349 1611596 5861720 8691462 9325 6918 5335303 4887001 13625608 16028960 X 17769546 36587350 50505666 51298821 68275212 87886171 81900820 103915131 X 18458530 1152429 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 14648601 33958145 44346812 14756936 31335867 139046361 14648601 33958145 44346812 14756936 31335867 139046361 38551480 100494881 198330 215847 197292 228748 248468 1088685 111911 330672 4119 3397 450099 140585145 18797085 0.71480 0.74940 X SCHEDULE A, PART II, LINE 10, EXPLANATION OF OTHER INCOME: OTHER INCOME - 2015 AMOUNT: $ 111,911. 2016 AMOUNT: $ 330,672. 2017 AMOUNT: $ 4,119. 2018 AMOUNT: $ 0. 2019 AMOUNT: $ 0.
