| CORE FORM 990 RESPONSES | PART III, LINE 2 - Effective on July 31, 2021, the Organization acquired The Princeton Festival, a New Jersey Non-Profit Corporation ("TPF"). TPF was a public charitable organization whose mission was to enrich the cultural life of central New Jersey and the surrounding region during the summer by offering a variety of performing arts productions of the highest professional quality. They also provided educational opportunities in all aspects of the performing arts to artists and audiences of all ages. TPF generated revenue from events showcasing the performing arts and their primary function was a three-week arts and performance festival held during the month of June. PART III, LINE 4A - PERFORMING CLASSICAL MASTERWORKS PROGRAM: WHETHER PERFORMING CLASSICAL MASTERWORKS, INTRODUCING MUSIC BY LIVING COMPOSERS, OR HOSTING FAMILIES AND STUDENTS AT THEIR FIRST SYMPHONY PERFORMANCE, THE PRINCETON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA, INC.

LED BY MUSIC DIRECTOR ROSSEN MILANOV, THE PSO OFFERS CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED ORCHESTRAL, POPS, AND CHAMBER MUSIC PROGRAMS AS WELL AS LECTURES AND EVENTS DESIGNED TO CONNECT THE PUBLIC TO MUSIC.

CELEBRATING THE FESTIVAL'S OPERATIC ROOTS, THREE COMIC OPERAS WERE PERFORMED. DERRICK WANG'S DELIGHTFUL SCALIA/GINSBURG WAS PRESENTED ON A DOUBLE BILL WITH W.A. MOZART'S THE IMPRESARIO, AND BENJAMIN BRITTEN'S COMING-OF-AGE OPERA ALBERT HERRING SERVED AS THE FESTIVAL'S CORE.

CONE MUSIC DIRECTOR ROSSEN MILANOV.
