What The Dryden Ensemble a New Jersey Nonprofit Corporation does
Mission
To provide concerts of baroque and early classical music
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
Baroque Lute Duets. February 16. Daniel Swenberg and Dusan Balarin on Baroque lutes, theorbo, Gallichone, Mandolino It was said that back in the 18th century, it was more expensive to keep a lute in strings than it was to keep a horse. This program presents a stable full of lutes from Daniel and Dusan's collections. It features rarely heard 18th century duets of Falkenhagen, Lauffensteiner, DuFaux, and Hagen, along with period arrangements of Purcell, Telemann, and Vivaldi.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $39k to $5k (−88%).
How it's funded, over time
