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 is to present, for the local community,
quality Baroque music performances at affordable prices in an intimate environment.
The Baroque Music Festival (BMF) organization has presented a Festival in June every year since 1981,
with performances held at the Sherman Gardens as well as in local churches or other local venues.
It is the goal of the BMF Board to continue the 40 -year tradition established by Burton Karson—
described above and continued by artistic director Elizabeth Blumenstock since 2011 to sustain and,
whenever possible, enhance the Festival each season. This year's 4011 annual Festival celebrates our past
and looks forward to new musical horizons. Themed as a Grand Tour of Europe and Beyond, we will
highlight the ambitious local premiere of a 300 -year-old zarzuela (Spanish Baroque chamber opera) and
also include concerts of orchestral, vocal, and chamber works. Baroque music by composers such as
Purcell, Handel, Vivaldi, Bach, and Telemann will be complemented by pieces evoking cultures beyond
Europe, to present a more comprehensive survey of the Baroque period than we have ever done before.
Many long-time favorite BMF musicians will be featured as part of this milestone anniversary occasion.
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.
We wish to sustain and build upon our excellent track record of success. As the only classical music
organization headquartered in Newport Beach and 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 as well as accessible—both geographically and financially to our core local
audience. Survey forms are given to all concert attendees, requesting feedback and opinions. Once again,
in 2019, the 129 responses received were overwhelmingly supportive, recognizing specifically the
opportunity to experience the talent of nationally -renowned performers and the appeal of Baroque
musical performances in intimate as well as acoustically appropriate local venues.
Our Festival is a consistently popular event, often resulting in sold -out concerts. The May/June 2019 issue
of AAA's Westways magazine profiled the Baroque Music Festival, Corona del Mar, in its "Five Worth
the Drive" column. Our audiences are comprised primarily of residents from the immediate Newport
Beach area and nearby local communities. In 2019, four out of our five Festival concerts reached near
capacity. Total attendance (over 1,100) 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.
Our normal ticket prices are comparable to those of other Baroque music organizations in California.
However, to address affordability for music students we have offered a subsidized program since 2015,
called Students Go For Baroque! to offer discounted ($5) tickets to high-school, college, and university
students. We plan to continue to support this program in 2020 through underwriting or grants.

3. 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 Ivey 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 centerpiece of our 401 season will be a concert performance of a Spanish Baroque zarzuela: an early
18th -century chamber opera with traditional Spanish music elements, featuring a cast of Baroque opera
singers and dancers, accompanied by a string quartet, guitar, lute, harp, harpsichord, and percussion. This
will be the first time this exciting Baroque form has been presented in Orange County. The project will be
co -directed by Elizabeth Blumenstock alongside two artistic collaborators with strong track -records in
Baroque opera direction and a passion for zarzuela: Henry Lebedinsky (harpsichord/opera direction) and
Stephen Stubbs (lute/musical direction). Grammy -award -winning -conductor Stubbs is one of the world's
most respected lutenists and Baroque opera specialists. Henry Lebedinsky co -directs Pacific
MusicWorks and has performed with many nationally renowned groups. The zarzuela (possibly named
after the Palacio Real de la Zarzuela just outside Madrid where these works were first performed)
employs a wide variety of musical elements, such as lively Spanish dances with castanets and virtuosic
arias in an Italian operatic style. Vocal sections are in Spanish, with spoken dialogue in English. The
proposed NBAC grant will be used to bring opera singers, dancers, and instrumentalists to
NewportBeach for the: zarzuela :performance. Funds will:also be directed <toward subsidizing
reduced cost ($5, instead of $30450) student tickets for the week of the Festival.
To put this request in context, our complete June 21-28, 2020 Festival will feature .Baroque music from
across Europe, in many formats—including 17th- and l8th-century folk music, solo concertos, stage and
choral works. The opening concert on June 21, at St. Mark Presbyterian Church, NewportBeach, will
feature the Festival Orchestra led by -Elizabeth Blumenstock in works by four of the Baroque era's finest
composers–Telemann, Rameau, Vivaldi, and Purcell–exploring exotic cultures, as part of our Grand Tour
of Europe and Beyond theme. The Monday evening concert on June 22, at St. Michael and All Angels
Episcopal Church, Corona del Mar, will be the local premiere performance of a Spanish Baroque
zarzuela, as described above. Wednesday's concert in Sherman Gardens on June 24, Baroque Folk, will
offer a lighthearted tour of vocal and instrumental folk music from 171 -century Italy, Austria and
England. Friday's program, June 26, in Sherman Gardens, is a grand tour of concerto pieces by Vivaldi,
Benda, Leclair, and others, featuring our long-time audience -favorite soloists. The Finale Sunday program
June 28, at St. Mark Presbyterian Church, includes choral works by Purcell and Handel as well as a Bach
orchestral suite that builds upon the success of our 2019 Bach Festival.
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.
Live Baroque music is growing in popularity, and universities are. adding programs of historically -
informed music practice. The Festival increasingly attracts audiences of all ages from our Southern
California region. While audience members skew to Orange County residents in the 55-65+ age -range,
there is also a healthy representation of other groups, including those who are parishioners of churches
where our performances are held as well as local students of music. 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.
5. Complete the project budget form. Address only the budget for the speck 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 ver 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.)
We will provide five professional -quality concerts from June 21 through June 28, 2020, with two at the
Sherman Library and Gardens, two at St. Mark Presbyterian Church and one at St. Michael and All
Angels Episcopal Church, each of approximately two hours in duration. The concerts will feature
Baroque -era music selected by Artistic Director Elizabeth Blumenstock and performed by period music
specialists, orchestra, and vocalists. Each performance will be preceded by free outdoor brass quintet
music to welcome audience members, and all concerts will be followed with a reception to allow
attendees to discuss the performance and converse with the musicians.
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. We are aiming to
meet or exceed our best -ever audience numbers from last year, 2019, and to introduce Newport Beach
audiences to Baroque zarzuela.
