CI AN," ,L 1411.'., City of Carmel Arts Grant Program Exhibit A I Project Description 2015 Mission The Indianapolis Symphonic Choir is dedicated to excellence in the performance of choral music, to creating and performing new choral masterworks, and to community outreach and education. Executive Summary The Indianapolis Symphonic Choir requests funding in the amount of $18,732 to make possible three (3) performances of its annual Festival of Carols concert at the Carmel world -class performing arts venue The Palladium in December 2015. This figure represents a smaller request as a percent of the Choir's overall operating budget from one year ago — a testament to sound financial practices by the Choir, not to mention continued growth due to a commitment to top -tier art. These funds will cover the costs associated with three days of hall rental and venue needs (box office staff, backstage staff, City of Carmel ticketing fees, security, etc) for this expansion of Festival of Carols, benefiting the City of Carmel and the entire region. This concert series has attracted multiple sold -out audiences at The Palladium since its move to the venue in December 2012. The December 2015 performances at The Palladium will increase from three shows on two days, to three shows on three days — expanding the variety of date choices to audience. The Indianapolis Symphonic Choir is committed to providing Central Indiana with this high - quality holiday performance experience. The Choir requests partial support for three performances in 2015 to meet the clear audience interest in and demand for this family - friendly concert that has rapidly become a holiday tradition. Festival of Carols 2014, featuring the 200 -voice Indianapolis Symphonic Choir City of Carmel Arts Grant Program 1 Indianapolis Symphonic Choir 1 Page 2 I. Organizational Sustainability The 2015 -2016 season represents the 79th consecutive season of the Indianapolis Symphonic Choir. The Symphonic Choir is: ® Among the oldest and best established symphonic choruses in the nation. ® Led by a professional staff and governed by a volunteer board of directors. ® Adding new programs which reflect strong fundraising success and a growing audience base. The Indianapolis Symphonic Choir was founded in 1937 to perform major choral - orchestral works. Over the years, the breadth of the Choir's programming has expanded to include not just classical, but other forms of music (gospel, jazz, sacred literature; annual commissions), as well as comprehensive outreach /educational programming. From its creation 78 seasons ago to perform Beethoven's Ninth Symphony to its recent concerts, commissioned works, public school partnerships, international tour and professionally produced CDs, the Choir has developed into a stable and visionary leader on the national choral stage. Although the Symphonic Choir frequently performs with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, the two organizations are not related. The Choir's concert programming and its outreach /education offerings, marketing, fundraising, and governance are all developed in house. A professional staff of six, three full -time (executive director, operations manager, general manager) and three part-time (artistic director, assistant artistic director, keyboard artist /accompanist), manage the administrative and artistic vision and well -being of the Symphonic Choir. A volunteer board of directors oversees the legal and fiduciary management, utilizing an active committee structure. Board members represent a cross - section of the community in terms of gender, age, creed, vocational experience and skill sets. Two board members also serve as singing members of the Choir. Through training over the past six seasons, the board has become more comfortable with and versed in addressing the development needs of the organization. Additionally, every member of the board contributes annually at a leadership level. At the time of this grant application submission, nearly all performances featuring the Symphonic Choir have attracted sold -out audiences over the past three seasons. Indeed, this is not just remarkable for this institution, but for arts organizations across the nation. Attendance at Festival of Carols is particularly strong and has expanded by nearly 4 -fold over the past 5 years — these three performances at The Palladium attract over 4,000 persons from across Indiana to the City of Carmel for a memorable evening during the holiday season. In fact, these three performances attract some of the largest audiences to the Arts & Design district during the year. We are pleased to serve Hoosiers with a family - friendly, high - quality memorable musical tradition each holiday season. City of Carmel Arts Grant Program I Indianapolis Symphonic Choir 1 Page 3 II. Arts Programming ® Build on the tradition of performances with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra ® Collaborate with other leading arts organizations m Diversify artistic programming: classical, seasonal favorites, jazz and pops The Indianapolis Symphonic Choir creates choral (and choral - orchestral) performances that are recognized nationally by our peers as well as our regional audiences. The Choir's high - quality artistic product has garnered local and national broadcasts, recognition through the American Prize, and invitations to perform at American Choral Directors Association conventions. The quality of every performance consistently is at the highest of levels. The Choir is comprised of 201 unpaid (volunteer) singers who audition annually. These performers each dedicate over 200 hours to the organization annually (over 40,000 hours collectively) through rehearsal and performance during the 42 -week performance season. The typical concert cycle requires 6 to 8 weeks of preparation. The Choir's 2015/2016 season is among the fullest we have had in years — due in part to the Choir's own self- produced performances selling well in recent years, and do to an increase in the number of choral performances the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra has planned. The season begins with two performances of Mood Indigo, a cabaret -style performance, at Indiana Landmarks Center featuring our 22 -voice Chamber Singers performing vocal jazz. We then have two performances with the ISO in October of the epic (and rarely - performed) Beethoven Missa Solemnis. December — among the most active months for the Symphonic Choir — includes four performances in of Festival of Carols. This annual favorite is performed in two venues: one performance at the enchanting Scottish Rite Cathedral in downtown Indianapolis, and three performances at The Palladium at The Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel. Featuring the 201 -voice Symphonic Choir with orchestra, these performances also include such noteworthy guests as soprano Maria Jette (as hear on NPR's A Prairie Home Companion), special high school choirs — which recently have include Fishers H.S., Lawrence Central H.S., Greenfield Central H.S., just to name a few — and of course appearances by the Grinch and the jolly man himself. The women of the Choir will join the ISO for two performances of The Planets in January at Circle Theatre, and the Choir's annual Gala Bel Canto is the first Saturday of March at The Conrad. Later in the spring, the Choir will present the keystone piece of our 79th season, Bach's St. John Passion — a work we have not performed in over 20 years — in collaboration with the Indianapolis Baroque Orchestra. This classic Baroque masterwork will be a welcome addition to the local arts community. Later, the Choir joins Jack Everly and the ISO for a pops concert saluting great choral music, and then two performances of the Durufle Requiem with the ISO later in May. The season will conclude with a collaborative performance for the Choir the ISO and other guests in June 2016. City of Carmel Arts Grant Program 1 Indianapolis Symphonic Choir 1 Page 4 III. Marketing and Outreach e Attract new audiences through programming and collaboration ® Retain audiences through enhanced patron experience ® Provide additional concert opportunities for regional audiences The Indianapolis Symphonic Choir is fortunate to have a world -class product and an engaging story to tell. To help attract future audiences, donors, and singers, the organization will focus on better equipping its board, staff, and singers to serve as effective advocates by providing them with the knowledge and resources to champion the Choir. Perhaps more than many other organizations, the Symphonic Choir is fortunate to have a built -in PR team who are fully dedicated to the Choir's success: its corps of 201 singers. As a direct result of engaging an outside public relations firm in late 2011, the Choir is attracting new audiences thanks to increased media exposure and to expanding its performances to venues outside of Indianapolis. In addition, the Choir's Patron Experience initiative addresses the multifaceted needs that create an attractive concert experience for concertgoers, turning the first -time attendee into a return attendee, donor and advocate. These items include strategic communication before the concert as well as post- concert follow -up; concert ambience and multisensory experience; ease of ticketing; and personal connections with the music and performers. The Indianapolis Symphonic Choir targets communication to segments of the population that may hold particular affinity for a given performance based on creed, geographical location, heritage and the like. Also, because Western choral music historically is closely tied with churches, the Choir cross - promotes concerts with area churches and through the Center for Congregations. Surveys at concerts, as well as online surveys, provide measurable data that accompany anecdotal evidence collected by participants and partner organizations to help determine what repertoire and other factors attract and retain audience members. These initiatives, plus the variety of musical styles included in a concert season, help the Choir reach a diverse audience in terms of age, race, geography, education, and income level. City of Carmel Arts Grant Program 1 Indianapolis Symphonic Choir I Page 5 Festival of Carols performances at The Palladium attracted capacity audiences 2012, 2013 and 2014. Ticket prices for Symphonic Choir concerts remain competitive and yet accessible. Adult tickets range from $10 to $67 (depending on seating preference) with student /youth rates always $10. Special group rates are available as well, with group sales being especially attractive for holiday performances. IV. Arts Education and Lifelong Learning • Outreach and educational programs for students • Lifelong learning and cultural opportunities for the senior community The Choir's education and outreach programs are among the institution's most cherished offerings. With programs appropriate for persons of all ages, levels of musical experience, and income status, these offerings reach thousands of persons annually. According to a 2010 study by Chorus America, more than 35 million Americans sing in choirs; more persons sing in a choir than participate in any other art form Adult opportunities (life -long learning) are numerous and open to all through our Timeless in Song programs, with opportunities appropriate for all levels of prior musical experience. For example, a person with significant musical background is a good candidate to join as a singing member of the Symphonic Choir or to attend a Choral Colloquium, whereas someone initially exploring singing and without any ability to read music may be interested in the 90- minute, interactive program "Hallelujah - What's It To Ya! ?" which uses Handel's "Hallelujah Chorus" to shed light on the choral art in a humorous and light- hearted environment. Additionally, the Symphonic Choir provides subsidized tickets to lower- income senior communities to attend concerts, provides transportation assistance, and even brings the concerts to senior communities through mobile performances for those unable to travel to the concert venues. City of Carmel Arts Grant Program 1 Indianapolis Symphonic Choir 1 Page 6 Among the Symphonic Choir's most valuable partnerships is our relationship with area schools throughout metropolitan Indianapolis through Voices of Harmony. The Indianapolis Symphonic Choir is the official choral partner for all 65 schools in the Indianapolis Public School system, and also partners with school systems throughout Central Indiana. We provide in- service education for choir and general music teachers. The Lawrence Central H.S "Central Sound" choir performed with the Symphonic Choir at the December 2014 Festival of Carols performances. The annual Spotlight Choir program serves as our ongoing side by side series, pairing the Symphonic Choir with area high school or middle school choirs as a component of the Festival of Carols concerts. Symphonic Choir Artistic Director Dr. Eric Stark leads in -class preparation with these partner schools, whose students perform their own repertoire and also sing with the Symphonic Choir members. These opportunities encourage mufti-generational learning and mentoring as adult and student participants perform together through the Festival of Carols performances — two of which are scheduled to be performed at The Palladium with the financial support of the City of Carmel's arts grant program. The Indianapolis Symphonic Choir's outreach programs, paired with careful stewardship of our resources and the undeniable quality of each performance, provide a priceless and treasured asset for central Indiana and beyond. We appreciate the opportunity to seek support from the City of Carmel, and we look forward to future success in the arts community. This grant application to the City of Carmel is in the amount of $18,732 for three performances of this popular, family - friendly Festival of Carols favorite at The Palladium in December 2015. These grant monies will be used to offset the cost of hall rental, stagehands, box office staff, venue security, and other expenses directly related to bringing three performances to the world -class venue.

Indianapolis, Indiana We have reviewed the accompanying statements of financial position of Indianapolis Symphonic Choir, Inc. (a nonprofit organization) as of July 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related statements of activities and changes in net assets, and cash flows for the years then ended. A review includes primarily applying analytical procedures to management's financial data and making inquiries of Organization management. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and for designing, implementing, and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements. Our responsibility is to conduct the review in accordance with Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Those standards require us to perform procedures to obtain limited assurance that there are no material modifications that should be made to the financial statements. We believe that the results of our procedures provide a reasonable basis for our report. Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying financial statements in order for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Nature of Organization The Indianapolis Symphonic Choir, Inc. (the Choir) provides concerts and educational programs for the community at large. The Choir increases the understanding and appreciation of choral music through performances. The Choir is supported by ticket sales and contributions, both private and corporate, government grants and private foundations. Method of Accounting The Choir records revenue and expense using the accrual method of accounting. Cash and Cash Equivalents For the purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Choir considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments which potentially subject the Choir to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of temporary cash investments and investments. The Choir has limited the potential loss on investments by placing its investments in high credit quality financial instruments and funds. The Choir has $ -0- in excess of the FDIC insured limit at July 31, 2014 and 2013. The Choir has not experienced any losses in their accounts. Investments The Choir carries investments in a money market fund at the fair value in the statement of financial position. All investment income is recorded as unrestricted unless otherwise stipulated by the donor. Pledges Receivable Unconditional promises to give are recognized as revenues or gains in the period received and as assets, decreases of liabilities, or expenses, depending on the form of the benefits received. Conditional promises to give are recognized only when the conditions on which they depend are substantially met and the promises become unconditional. Unconditional pledges receivable were $5,065 and $11,095 for the years ended July 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The pledges are expected to be received during the subsequent year; therefore, no allowance for doubtful pledges is recorded. Inventory Inventory of Performance CDs are valued on a first -in, first -out (FIFO) basis at the lower of cost or market. Property and Equipment Expenditures for property and equipment and items which substantially increase the useful lives of existing assets are capitalized at cost. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as they are incurred. It is the policy of the Choir to capitalize the cost of equipment which exceeds $500. The Choir provides for depreciation on the straight -line method at rates designed to depreciate the cost of assets over estimated useful lives of five to twenty years. 5 INDIANAPOLIS SYMPHONIC CHOIR, INC. NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Restricted Assets Net assets of the temporarily or permanently restricted classes are created only by donor - imposed restrictions on their use. When a donor restriction expires, temporarily restricted net assets are reclassified to unrestricted net assets and reported in the statement of activities as net assets released from restrictions. Permanently restricted net assets are endowment funds restricted in perpetuity. Income generated by these assets can be used as specified by the donor. Donor restrictions met in the same year are classified as unrestricted net assets. At July 31, 2014, the Choir held three temporarily restricted funds (see the Restricted Net Assets note) and one permanently restricted fund. At July 31, 2013, the Choir held three temporarily restricted funds (see the Restricted Net Assets note) and one permanently restricted fund. All other net assets, including board - designated or appropriated amounts, are legally unrestricted, and are reported as part of the unrestricted class. Unrestricted net assets are net assets that are not subject to donor restrictions. Contributions Contributions are considered to be available for unrestricted use unless specifically restricted by the donor. Amounts received that are designated for future periods or restricted by the donor for specific purposes are reported as temporarily restricted or permanently restricted revenue, which increases those net asset classes. Pledged contributions (unconditional) are recognized as revenue in the year the promise is made and are recorded at fair value, which is computed as the estimated present values of expected future cash flows. Pledges which are conditional are recognized as revenue when the conditions are substantially met. Provision for estimated losses on collection of unpaid pledges is maintained at a level management believes is sufficient to cover potential losses. Deferred Revenue Deferred revenue consists of tickets for performances sold in advance. Income Taxes The Choir is exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. It is also exempt from Indiana income taxes. However, should the Choir ever have income from certain activities not directly related to its tax - exempt purpose, that income would be subject to taxation as unrelated business income. In addition, the Choir qualifies for the charitable contribution deduction under Section 170(b)(1)(A) and has been classified as an organization other than a private foundation under Section 509(a)(2). The Choir's policy is to include interest and penalties related to its tax positions in income tax expense. Advertising Expenses The Choir uses advertising to promote its programs among the public it serves. The production costs of advertising are expensed as incurred. For the years ended July 31, 2014 and 2013, the Choir's advertising costs totaled $2,742 and $10,027, respectively. Subsequent Events Management has evaluated subsequent events through December 4, 2014, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued. 6 INDIANAPOLIS SYMPHONIC CHOIR, INC. NOTE 2 - INVESTMENTS At July 31, 2014, the Choir's investments were comprised of the following: Money Market Funds Fair Carrying Cost Value Value $ 162,737 $ 162,737 $ 162,737 At July 31, 2013, the Choir's investments were comprised of the following: Fair Carrying Cost Value Value Mutual Funds $ 287,836 $ 281,534 $ 281,534 The following summarizes the investment income in the statement of activities and changes in net assets for the years ended July 31, 2014 and 2013: 2014 2013 Interest and Dividends $ 5,202 $ 3,843 Unrealized Loss - 7,152 Realized Loss (5) NOTE 3 - BOARD - DESIGNATED NET ASSETS $ 5.197 $ (3.309) The Board of Directors has designated certain contributions to be invested in mutual funds, certificates of deposit, and a savings account. Investment income earned is reinvested in the accounts. The balance in the account may be expended at the discretion of the Board. The amount of net assets held in the board- designated net assets at July 31, 2014 and 2013 was $50,000. NOTE 4 - RESTRICTED NET ASSETS Funds restricted by the donor or grantor for particular operating purposes are reported as revenues when they are granted. Expenditures are recorded when they are incurred in compliance with the specific restrictions. Funds received but not yet expended are reported as the balance of restricted net assets. Some grants received cover more than one operating year. 2014 2013 Lilly Endowment, Inc. $ 84,000 $ 180,000 Pledges receivable 5,065 11,095 Sponsorships 68,385 34,750 Total Temporarily Restricted Net Assets 157,450 225,845 Permanently Restricted Net Assets 55,000 55,000 Total Restricted Net Assets $ 212.450 $ 280 845 7 INDIANAPOLIS SYMPHONIC CHOIR, INC. NOTE 5 - INCOME TAXES The Choir files annual returns in the U. S. Federal and Indiana jurisdictions. Currently the three prior tax years are open and subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and the Indiana Department of Revenue. However, the Choir is not currently under audit nor has it been contacted by these jurisdictions. Based on the evaluation of the Choir's tax positions, management believes all significant positions taken would be upheld under an examination. NOTE 6 - DONATED FACILITIES, MATERIALS AND SERVICES Donated facilities, materials and professional services are reflected as contributions in the accompanying financial statements at their estimated values at the date of receipt. No amounts have been reflected in the financial statements for volunteer services, inasmuch as they do not meet the criteria for recognition. However, substantial numbers of volunteers have donated considerable amounts of their time in the Choir's program services and in its fundraising efforts. The Choir received donated services and materials. The estimated fair market value of the donations was $22,500 and $5,000 for the years ended July 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. On January 28, 2003, the Choir entered into a lease for facilities for a term of 30 years. The facilities are provided at no charge to the Choir, through a grant provided to the landlord. The estimated fair market value of the donated facilities recognized as in -kind revenue and expense was $6,048 for the years ended July 31, 2014 and 2013. NOTE 7 - CLASSIFICATION OF EXPENSES The statement of activities and changes in net assets discloses expenses by natural classification. The classification of expenses by function is as follows for the years ended July 31, 2014 and 2013: Program Services: Concerts and Productions Education and Outreach UK Tour 2014 2013 $ 381,175 $ 297,745 36,583 40,524 51,388 417,758 389,657 Supporting Services: Management and General 76,691 68,490 Fundraising 120,891 112,115 197,582 180,605 $ 615,340 $ 570,262 NOTE 8 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Generally accepted accounting principles establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows: • Level 1 - inputs are unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Choir has the ability to access at the measurement date. 8 INDIANAPOLIS SYMPHONIC CHOIR, INC. NOTE 8 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (Continued) • Level 2 - inputs are based on significant observable inputs, including unadjusted quoted market prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability. • Level 3 - inputs are significant unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The fair value of assets measured on a recurring basis at July 31, 2014 and 2013 are as follows: 2014 Money Market Funds 2013 Mutual Funds NOTE 9 - CONTINGENCIES Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Fair Identical Assets Value (Level 1) $ 162,737 $ 162/37 $ 281,534 $ 281,534 The Choir contracts with hotels for future performances. The contracts carry cancellation policies which would penalize the Choir under a set schedule in the event of cancellation. NOTE 10 - ENDOWMENT The Choir's endowment consists of funds established by a donor restriction. As required by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), net assets associated with endowment funds, including funds designated by the Board of Directors to function as endowments, are classified and reported based on the existence or absence of donor - imposed restrictions. Interpretation of Relevant Law The Choir classifies as permanently restricted net assets (a) the original value of gifts donated to the permanent endowment, (b) the original value of subsequent gifts donated to the permanent endowment, and (c) accumulations to the permanent endowment made in accordance with the direction of the applicable donor gift instrument at the time the accumulation is added to the fund. Any remaining portion of the endowment fund that is not classified in permanently restricted net assets is classified as temporarily restricted net assets until those amounts are appropriated for expenditure by the Choir. The Choir considers the following factors in making a determination to appropriate or accumulate donor - restricted endowment funds: • The duration and preserving of the fund. • The purposes of the Choir endowment. • General economic conditions. • The possible effect of inflation and deflation. • The expected total return from income and the appreciation of investments. • Other resources of the Choir. • The investment policies of the Choir. 9 INDIANAPOLIS SYMPHONIC CHOIR, INC. NOTE '10 - ENDOWMENT (Continued) Return Objectives and Risk Parameters The Choir had adopted investment and spending policies for endowment assets that attempt to provide a predictable stream of funding to programs supported by its endowment while seeking to maintain the purchasing power of the endowment assets. Endowment assets include those assets of donor - restricted endowment funds that the Choir holds in perpetuity. Under this policy, as approved by the Board of Directors, the endowment assets are invested in a manner that is intended to produce results that exceed the price and yield results of a high credit quality financial institution. The Choir expects its endowment fund, over time, to provide an average rate of return of approximately 1% annually. Actual returns in any given year may vary from this amount. Strategies Employed for Achieving Objectives To satisfy its long -term rate -of- return objectives, the Choir relies on a total return strategy in which investment returns are achieved through both capital appreciation (realized and unrealized) and current yield (interest and dividends). The Choir targets a diversified assets allocation that places a greater emphasis on equity -based and mutual fund investments to achieve its long -term return objectives within prudent risk constraints. Spending Policy and How the Investment Objectives Relate to Spending Policy The Choir has a policy of appropriating annual investment income from the endowment for general operating purposes. This is consistent with the Choir's objective to maintain the purchasing power of the endowment assets held in perpetuity or for a specified term as well as to provide additional real growth through new gifts. Endowment net asset composition by type of fund as of July 31, 2014, is as follows: Permanently Unrestricted Restricted Total Donor - Restricted $ 2,350 $ 55,000 $ 57,350 Changes in endowment assets are as follows: Permanently Unrestricted Restricted Total Net Assets, August 1, 2012 $ 2,440 $ 55,000 $ 57,440 Net Investment Loss (1,115) (1,115) Balance, July 31, 2013 1,325 55,000 56,325 Net Investment Income 1,025 1,025 Balance, July 31, 2014 $ 2,350 $ 55.000 $ 57,350 10 Form 990 Department of the Treasury Internal Revenue Service Return of Organization Exempt From Income Tax Under section 501(c), 527, or4947(aX1) of the Internal Revenue Code (except black lung benefit trust or private foundation) ► The organization may have to use a copy of this return to satisfy state reporting requirements.

Among the most active symphonic choruses in the nation, this organization reaches in excess of 25,000 persons each season with more than 25 performances and a comprehensive educational /outreach program. The approximately 200 volunteer singers demonstrate the Choir's commitment to musical excellence through their talent and dedication during each forty -week season. The organization is led by a professional staff and governed by a volunteer Board of Directors. The Symphonic Choir is the choral partner of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, having been founded in 1937 at the Orchestra's request to perform the great choral - orchestral repertoire. Over the years, this partnership with the ISO has remained at the very core of the Choir's existence. This partnership exhibits the very best of collaborative ideals -- -two successfully independent arts organizations combining their strengths to create beautifully lasting musical results. In addition to collaborative performances with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, the Symphonic Choir presents its own performances, educational initiatives and events each season. Regular features include the Sacred Masterworks concert series, which includes large -scale choral - orchestral performances that are complemented by an array of educational events. The Symphonic Choir also produces the family - friendly and ever - popular Festival of Carols concerts, an innovative Sacred Arts performance experience in collaboration with the Indianapolis Museum of Art, Celebration Gospel Festival, and a vocal jazz series titled Mood Indigo. The Symphonic Choir is committed to providing world -class educational experiences to persons of all ages throughout the community. The Choir is now in its fifth year as the official choral partner of the Indianapolis Public Schools, providing teacher training, educational resources, performance experiences and free printed music through its Harmony of Voices initiative. The Spotlight Choir series unites area middle and high school choirs with the Symphonic Choir in a side -by -side rehearsal and performance opportunity, providing intergenerational learning experiences. Other educational initiatives include In- Choir -ing Minds, a lecture - performance featuring a choral masterwork; the Choral Colloquium, which provides scholarly exploration and discussion via the Choir's Scholar -in- Residence; Timeless in Song, which serves members of the community's senior community; Roundtables for choir directors from area schools, universities, congregations and community ensembles; student conducting workshops and Hallelujah — What's it to ya! ?, an engaging look at Handel's "Hallelujah" chorus. Commissioning new works is critical to the Choir's mission, and recent years have seen numerous commissioned works added to the body of choral repertoire. In 2009, the organization launched the international Christmas Carol Commission Competition, which encourages emerging composers to write high - quality choral music. CD recordings of recent commissions are available on the Symphonic Choir's website, including the recent release of a complete, two -disc recording of Mendelssohn's Elijah. The Choirwas featured at the Super Bowl XLVI half time performance with Madonna, and is heard on Sirius -XM Radio. Throughout its history, the Symphonic Choir has been served by leaders in the choral art, including music directors Elmer Steffen, Don Neuen, Charles Webb, John W. Williams, and Robert Porco, and has given performances around the world. The Symphonic Choir, a 501(c)3 non - profit organization in residence at Butler University's Jordan College of Fine Arts, is under the artistic direction of Eric Stark. For more information about the 2014/2015 season, including opportunities to become involved, visit www.indychoir.org or follow us on Facebook and Twitter. The Indianapolis Symphonic Choir is dedicated to excellence in the performance of choral music, to creating and performing new choral masterworks, and to community outreach and education.

Indeed, thanks to the generous support from the City of Carmel, the Indianapolis Symphonic Choir expanded from three performances to four the December 2014 performances of the annual holiday favorite, and especially worth noting: Nearly every performance has attracted sold -out or near - capacity audiences at The Palladium. Of the four Festival of Carols performances last month, three took place at The Palladium while one was presented at the Scottish Rite Cathedral in downtown Indianapolis. These numbers may be both of interest and useful to you: • Festival of Carols attracted just more than 4,100 persons to the Carmel Arts & Design district providing for further economic activity including shopping, dining and overnight lodging due to the regionalism of The Palladium. • Parents and families from two area high schools received a special educational holiday gift they will always remember: the chance to perform the finest classical music with a world -class choir and orchestra in the finest of halls. • This season marked the 24th annual presentation of Festival of Carols and plans are in the works for the 25th anniversary in December 2015 to be yet even bigger than ever, attracting yet more persons to experience the arts in Carmel. By all metrics, Festival of Carols is among the most successful holiday offerings in the entire state of Indiana and its home at The Palladium adds to its success. The acoustics, amenities, design and gifted staff provide for a memorable and meaningful experience. Festival of Carols I December 2014 I Sold -Out Audience Beyond the Festival of Carols performances, the Symphonic Choir's season has also included performances of Mozart's Requiem (October) and Handel's Messiah in December. Yet to come this season is the March Gala Bel Canto at the Indianapolis ArtsGarden and The Conrad, which raises money to support choral music education in the schools. April brings an especially unique performance featuring Faure's Requiem and a brand new choral - orchestral work titled Zabur by composer Mohammed Fairouz. This new work is co- commissioned by the Symphonic Choir and many musical leaders from area houses of worship, schools and community choirs and seeks to build bridges through music. The season concludes with three performances of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony with the Symphonic Choir and the ISO — two performances at Hilbert Circle Theatre, and one performance at The Palladium. Our Board added six new members this season to replace 3 members rotating off, and to slightly increase the size of the Board to 20 persons: • Shelly Elliott (Washington National /CNO Financial) • George Evans (Brandwidth) • Chad Walker (Bose McKinney & Evans) • Blake Neubauer (Scientist) • Ann Carlson (Retired nurse & singer in the Choir) • Tim Hansen (Raymond James) Similarly, the Choir's staff continues to work with vision, determination and a vital creativity when it comes to programming, marketing to existing and new audiences alike, and of course with regard to fundraising. This season marks the 13th for Artistic Director Eric Stark and Asst. Artistic Director Michael Davis, and the 11th for Executive Director Michael Pettry. Our other 2 administrative staff persons and 2 artistic staff persons are the best of the best. And, the corps of gifted singers this season represents both a notable achievement in terms of numbers, but also in artistic quality. The 201 singers re- audition each season and each dedicate just over 200 hours toward rehearsal and performance each season — if you're doing the math, that's well over 40,000 volunteer hours that make the Symphonic Choir so successful each and every year. It can't be stressed enough how important the singers are to the Symphonic Choir and similarly how important the Symphonic Choir is to the singers: These are school music teachers, directors of music for area congregations, local profession and semi- professional musicians, and avocational musicians alike. The ripple effect is alive and well at the Symphonic Choir: What the singers learn and experience in our rehearsals affects other institutions around town. Support from the City of Carmel helps offset the cost of presenting Festival of Carols at The Palladium. The Indianapolis Symphonic Choir is grateful to the City of Carmel for its generous support of the venue - related expenses for the annual Festival of Carols performances at The Palladium. The hall's production staff, box office team, security and overall venue are a pleasure to work with and provide for Festival of Carols being one of the most successful holiday performances in the Hoosier State.
