Mission

Artes Vocales' mission is to enrich the musical tapestry of Los Angeles through its highly innovative choral programming and partnerships with LA-based musicians. Artes Vocales provides vocalists with precision-based vocal pedagogy in bel canto singing technique, while offering opportunities to gifted soloists. Our mission extends to performing historically and culturally varied repertoire. We nurture collaborations with highly sought-after Los Angeles composers, including Shawn Kirchner, Reena Esmail, and Joseph Julian Gonzalez. Artes Vocales is to provide performance opportunities for musicians who are launching their careers. What distinguishes Artes Vocales from other community choirs is our focus on vocal technique. It is our aim to continue to expand the arts and cultural experiences of greater Los Angeles audiences by featuring the works of local composers in enriching concert programming, while providing singular opportunities to gifted LA-based singers and musicians

Who gave

Contributor names are not public for this form type.

Public charities filing Form 990 or 990-EZ report large donors on Schedule B, but the IRS withholds their names and addresses from public copies. Private foundations (990-PF) are different: their contributors are public.

Finances

Newest first. Each filing: its name on one row, its figures on the row beneath. Greyed filings are superseded by a later return for the same period and are left out everywhere else on this page.

Where the money went

Every expense line on each return, biggest first: Form 990 Part IX (with its program, management and fundraising columns), 990-EZ Part I, or 990-PF Part I. Event marks lines the organization itself describes as events. “Events” in each summary adds those lines, conferences and meetings, and the direct costs of fundraising events. Unusual is not the same as improper. Many of these patterns have ordinary explanations. Check the filing.
