What Westlake Village Symphony does
Mission
(a) To perform concerts of classical symphonic music for public education; to provide an opportunity for amateur orchestra musicians to continuously improve their skills through rehearsal and performance; (b) to provide modest support for classical musicians who contribute to the orchestra by leading and mentoring amateurs.
As stated on its FY2019 Form 990-EZ.
Program

Concert Dates: February 24, April 14, June 7, September 7, November 3, and December 16, 2019. For our amateur musicians, eight weeks of rehearsal and preparation were required per concert, a total of approximately 48 rehearsals. The total expense listed here covered rehearsal and concert venue rental, printed music for each musician, publicity and advertising, insurance, web hosting, office supplies, credit card processing expense and bank fees, and postal, legal and tax expenses.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $52 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
