omissions of Grantee, its principals, officers, agents, employees, vendors, suppliers,
consultants, subcontractors, anyone employed directly or indirectly by any of them or for

the results of the Approved Uses.

CULTURAL ARTS GRANT APPLICATION
1. Briefly describe below your organization's purpose, mission, and goals.
The mission of the Baroque Music Festival, Corona del Mar (BMF) is to present, for the local
community, quality Baroque music performances at affordable prices in an intimate environment. The
BMF has held concerts every June since 1981, with performances at Sherman Gardens as well as in local
churches. In 2020 and 2021 virtual events replaced live public concerts due to COVID-19 pandemic
restrictions and safety considerations.
In 2022 it is the goal of the Board of the BMF to reopen with a summer season of live public concerts in
the Festival's regular last week of June while prioritizing the safety and comfort of all attendees:
concertgoers, performers, volunteers, and staff. We'll resume the tradition established by Burton Karson
over four decades ago—and continued by Artistic Director Elizabeth Blumenstock since 2011—to
sustain, and wherever possible develop, local community connections through Baroque music. This year's
42nd Festival season entitled Resounding! will present five concerts over eight days June 19-26, 2022
including the focus of this application: A Handel Gala Finale, featuring the Festival Orchestra directed by
Elizabeth Blumenstock with a pair of nationally renowned vocal soloists in virtuosic arias and duets, plus
rousing instrumental music from Handel's most celebrated operas and oratorios. Our Students Go for
Baroque! $5 tickets will be promoted to local students for all Festival concerts with regular single ticket
prices averaging $44 each.
2. Identify and describe why there is a need in the Newport Beach Community for your proposed
project/program. Include a quantitative description of the need and on what you based your findings
(i.e. "Based on a study done by the PTA, there are one hundred children in the 4th -6th grades at
Newport Elementary who have had no training with musical instruments."). Describe how you have
determined that your organization is the best organization for the proposed project/program.
The BMF is the only professional classical music presenter headquartered in Newport Beach/Corona del
Mar; we continue to sustain and build upon our excellent track record to serve the local community.
Dedicated to performances in Corona del Mar and Newport Beach, the Baroque Music Festival takes
seriously the responsibility to provide concerts that are artistically outstanding and accessible to a local
audience. This responsibility includes consideration of physical access, geographics, enrichment,
education, and cost. Survey forms are given to all concert attendees, requesting feedback and opinions. At
our last full in-person Festival in June 2019, the 129 responses received were overwhelmingly supportive.
Similarly, in 2020 and 2021, online survey results showed on average 70% "extremely satisfied"
supporters in response to virtual concerts and communications. The BMF's annual season is a consistently
popular event, often resulting in sold -out concerts. For example, in 2019 four out of our five Festival
concerts reached near capacity. Our audiences are comprised primarily of residents from the immediate
Newport Beach area and nearby local communities. Total attendance (over 1,100) in 2019 was the highest
in the Festival's 39 -year history and 30% above 2018, with more than 40% of attendees experiencing a
Festival event for the first time. This substantial contingent of first -timers underscores the importance of
our outreach efforts each season to potential new attendees, as even long-time Newport Beach residents
continue to discover the Festival. This will be our renewed focus for June 2022 in this reopening year.
2
Describe the specific project/program that will be funded by a cultural grant. Include how the proposed
project/program will be implemented and outline a schedule or project timeline, with planned dates and
locations. Identify individuals and groups involved, particularly artists and performers, and describe
their roles and responsibilities. Describe the background and qualifications of your organization and
key personnel to be involved in the program. Remember: The City funds only projects and programs -
not operating expenses. These projects and programs must promote community involvement and
awareness of the arts in Newport Beach.
Is this a new X or existing project/program?
The grand Finale of our 42nd season will be A Handel Gala featuring two nationally renowned vocal
soloists, accompanied by the Festival orchestra led by artistic director Elizabeth Blumenstock. This 42nd
summer season will be the first time since 2019 that the Festival orchestra has assembled for
performances. Soprano Josefien Stoppelenburg, a respected Handelian, made her debut for the BMF in
2018 as part of the cast for a concert performance of Handel's Orlando; early -music specialist
countertenor Jay Carter makes his BMF debut. Elizabeth Blumenstock took inspiration from past BMF
successes and some of her recent concerts in Europe to curate A Handel Gala for our reopening season.
Musical forces used are smaller than in previous Finale productions to assist with COVID-era safety
precautions as needed. However, the program promises many exciting moments, with highly florid
virtuoso arias, duets, accompanying instrumental solos, lively dances, grand overtures, and more. The
proposed NBAC grant will bring the two Baroque -specialist opera singers from out of state to
Newport Beach for the Handel Gala performance. We also intend to direct funds toward
subsidizing reduced cost ($5, instead of $35-$50) student tickets for the week of the Festival. To put
this request in context, our complete June 19-26, 2022 Festival will feature Baroque music from
composers who worked across Europe, in many formats—including 17th- and 18th -century folk- and
dance -based chamber music; concertos; organ and harpsichord works; opera extracts, and orchestral
suites. The opening concert on June 19, Many Happy Returns, at St. Mark Presbyterian Church, Newport
Beach, features the Festival Orchestra led by Elizabeth Blumenstock in works by three of the era's finest
composers–Telemann, Vivaldi, and the masterful J.S. Bach—including double concertos for pairs of
harpsichords, oboes and violins. The Monday evening recital on June 20—this year held at CU Center,
Concordia University, Irvine, due to scheduled repairs to the organ at St. Michael & All Angels, CdM—
sees the in-person debut recital from harpsichordist and organist Matthew Dirst who starred in the
Cultural Arts grant -funded "A Bach Keyboard Extravaganza" concert film released summer 2021.
Wednesday's concert in Sherman Gardens on June 22, Concertos in the Gardens, offers an entire evening
of Baroque concertos (delayed from 2020) featuring our long-time audience -favorite soloists. Friday's
program, June 24, at St. Michael & All Angels, Corona del Mar, presents The Joy of the Dance through
traditional medleys from the British Isles, and dance suites by 17th -century composers. The final Sunday
program on June 26 at St. Mark Presbyterian Church is the previously mentioned A Handel Gala.
4. Define or describe the segment of the population in Newport Beach that you intend to serve by your
project/program. Include such things as age, location, numbers served, etc.
The BMF's live concert seasons and recent videos increasingly attract patrons of all ages from Southern
California. While audience members generally skew to local residents in the 56-65+ age -range, there is a
healthy representation of other groups, including local music students. At least 30% of our mailing list of
nearly 2,000 households (based on past attendance and donations) reside in the 92625, 92657-92663 zip
codes. Likewise, approximately 30% of 2019 ticket -purchasers were residents within these zip code areas
in 2019. While it has been harder to establish demographics for our virtual presentations in 2020 and
2021, our 2020 videos were viewed a total of 3,406 times, and 2021 videos a total of 3,552 times.
5. Complete the project budget form. Address only the budget for the specific project, not your annual
operating budget. For multi -project proposals, please duplicate and fill out a budget for each project.
Please annotate the budget at the bottom if there are details (such as a breakdown of personnel or a
marketing budget) critical to the proposal.

6. Describe the expected quantifiable outcomes of your project/program and how you will evaluate the
results. Be very specific in addressing the ways that you will determine that your project/program met
the needs that you identified and accomplishes the goals you set out to achieve (i.e. you provide 50
hours of musical instruction and instruments to the 100 children at Newport Elementary school as
measured by music store rental receipts and logs of instructors.)
With COVID protocols in place, we plan to present five concerts in our regular Festival week—June 19
through June 26, 2022—indoors at our regular venues, totaling approximately 10 hours of music.
Performances will feature Baroque -era music selected by artistic director Elizabeth Blumenstock (and, for
June 20, by recitalist Matthew Dirst) and performed by historically informed early music vocalists,
specialist orchestra members, and other professionals -27 musicians in total. Each live performance will
be preceded by free outdoor brass quintet music to welcome audience members, following the latest
safety procedures. Our objective of meeting the goal of presenting high-quality performances will be
aided significantly by a grant from the Newport Beach City Arts Commission. The results of our annual
audience survey and attendance statistics will allow us to evaluate our success in accomplishing our goal.
