A national panel of experts selected 30 works; each will be performed and recorded during the 2024-2025 season by SOLI and partnering organizations around the country. The ultimate goal of the 30x30x30 Project is to give voice to different cultures, heritages, and affinities. Increasing knowledge and understanding of contemporary classical music dissolves barriers, invites connection, and strengthens cultural sensitivity and community across demographics. 10639 0 0 Depreciation, donated facilities, equipment rental, office and payroll expenses, credit card fees. 10639 0 0 195996 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 14 0 4 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 11 11 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 TX X X Anne L Schelleng 2103936103 1518 W Rosewood Ave San Antonio TX 78201 Anne Schelleng Managing Director 40 0 X 32500 0 0 Ertan Torgul Board Member, Project Mgr 20.00 0 X 21878 0 0 Carolyn True Education Director 5 0 X 19675 0 0 Stephanie Key Artistic Director 5.00 0 X 19125 0 0 David Mollenauer Board Member 1 0 X 11275 0 0 David A Lopez Board President 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Dora Verde Vice President - Governance 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Diana Roberts Vice President - Finance 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Jane Lewis Vice President - Development 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Alexis Adams Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 William Clint Kingsbery Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Debra Maltz Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Taddy McAllister Board Member 2 0 X 0 0 0 104453 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 56443 57363 3974 113806 Residencies 711130 22500 22500 0 0 Ticket Sales 711130 7492 7492 0 0 0 0 0 0 29992 3492 3492 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 12333 0 1499 10834 0 10834 Billable expense income 711130 3071 3071 0 0 Net assets released from restriction 711130 40928 40928 0 0 0 0 0 0 43999 202123 77483 0 10834 X 0 0 42000 42000 0 0 0 0 47500 29650 10025 7825 0 0 0 0 9356 9356 0 0 703 703 4350 2984 767 599 76066 76066 0 0 7237 6737 0 500 1177 879 240 58 1595 1479 116 0 2160 2160 0 0 14148 14148 0 0 1912 1912 0 0 3676 0 3676 0 Payroll expenses 880 628 125 127 Equipment rental and maintenance 5250 5250 0 0 Donated facilities 1574 1574 0 0 Credit card fees 1179 708 0 471 465 465 221228 195996 15652 9580 50619 20122 150461 130614 0 0 3808 0 0 3600 0 0 0 0 207 207 6000 7500 25184 6693 15140 18491 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 226235 180534 2000 1000 0 0 70668 45740 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1446 778 74114 47518 X 81453 96026 70668 36990 152121 133016 226235 180534 -19105 0 0 0 0 0 X 1 X 0 1 0 X 100680 149274 155169 125196 113806 644125 14604 18340 19729 16021 29992 98686 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 115284 167614 174898 141217 143798 742811 12799 32779 28201 20061 54099 147939 0 0 0 0 0 0 12799 32779 28201 20061 54099 147939 594872 0 3492 3492 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3492 3492 0 0 0 0 0 0 115284 167614 174898 141217 147290 746303 0.79709 0.84660 0.00468 0 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 25184 6693 18491 0 0 0 0 18491 778 778 1 During the reporting year, SOLI Chamber Ensemble distributed cash awards to 30 early-career composers based in the United States through its 30x30x30 Project, designed to support emerging talent in the field of music composition. Each composer was selected through a competitive application process, which evaluated applicants based on originality, compositional skill, and alignment with the project's goals. The total amount distributed to these 30 recipients was $30,000, with each awardee receiving $1,000. These awards were intended to honor each recipient's commitment to the creation of new musical works. 30 1000 0 Schedule I, Part I, Line 2 The organization held a competitive selection process to identify 30 composers to receive cash awards for their compositions. The process was designed to ensure fairness and transparency in selecting the most deserving candidates based on merit and artistic quality. First, a public call for submissions was issued, inviting composers from across the country to submit their original works. The organization received a total of 293 submissions by the published deadline. Each submission was evaluated by a panel of five expert judges, including accomplished composers, music professors, and industry professionals. The panel used a scoring system to assess each composition based on specific criteria, such as originality, compositional skill, and instrumentation suitability, and evaluative scores designed to ensure underserved voices were prioritized. After individual scoring, the judges convened to review and discuss the top-ranked submissions. The 30 highest-scoring composers were selected as the final award recipients. Each of the selected composers received a $1,000 cash award to support their ongoing work in music composition. The selection process ensured that all candidates were evaluated fairly and without bias, with emphasis on the artistic merit of their submissions. No other factors, such as personal connections or geographic location, were considered in the selection process.
