demands, obligations, damages, actions, causes of action, suits, losses, judgments,
fines, penalties, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorney's
fees, disbursements and court costs) of every kind and nature whatsoever (individually,
a "Claim", collectively, "Claims"), which may arise from or in any manner relate (directly
or indirectly) to this Agreement (including the negligent and/or willful acts, errors and/or
omissions of Grantee, its principals, officers, agents, employees, vendors, suppliers,
consultants, subcontractors, anyone employed directly or indirectly by any of them or for
whose acts they may be liable or any or all of them).
6.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall be construed to require
Grantee to indemnify the Indemnified Parties from any Claim arising from the sole
negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Parties. Nothing in this indemnity shall
be construed as authorizing any award of attorney's fees in any action on or to enforce
the terms of this Agreement. This indemnity shall apply to all claims and liability
regardless of whether any insurance policies are applicable. The policy limits do not act
as a limitation upon the amount of indemnification to be provided by Grantee.

control of Grantee, except to the extent they are limited by statute, rule or regulation and
the expressed terms of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to

constitute approval for Grantee or any of Grantee's employees or agents, to be the agents
or employees of City. Grantee shall have the responsibility for and control over the means
of performing the Approved Uses, provided that Grantee is in compliance with the terms
of this Agreement. Anything in this Agreement that may appear to give City the right to

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
April 2020 due to COVID-19, the BMF Board cancelled the live Festival, and a free, smaller -scale, virtual
program of existing music videos featuring Festival musicians was released online in June. Thanks to fiscal
reserves, grants, and individual gifts, we were also able to compensate artistic directors in full for the
planning work they'd already undertaken in 2019-2020, and to pay our musicians 50% of what they would
have earned should the live Festival have taken place. It is the goal of the BMF Board to continue the 40 -
year tradition established by Burton Karson—and continued by Artistic Director Elizabeth Blumenstock
since 2011—to sustain, and wherever possible develop, local community connections by presenting
concerts online or in a safe live environment. This year's 41st annual season is currently planned to include
both outdoor live concerts and online offerings, including the focus of this application: the charismatic
presenter, harpsichordist, and organist Matthew Dirst in a solo virtual program. In addition, working
within state and local guidelines, we hope to host three live, outdoor, one-hour chamber music programs,
each repeated later the same day to enable approximately 100 patrons total to attend daily. The focus is
on a therapeutic return to a safe haven for music -lovers. In this way we aim to make a welcome but
responsible start to the new decade. A limited number of our Students Go for Baroque! $5 tickets will be
promoted for live concerts, should they occur, plus free -of -charge video access through local educational
establishments to the virtual Bach program.
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 mutual support of the Newport Beach community and our long-time Festival
musicians, so that live concerts can resume after Covid restrictions are lifted. Equally, we aim to extend
our reach at this time, particularly through the online program, to those who have not yet discovered the
Festival in person. As the only classical music organization based in Newport Beach and dedicated to
performances in Corona del Mar/Newport Beach, the BMF takes seriously the responsibility to provide
concerts that are artistically outstanding as well as accessible to the local community. Since 2020, surveys
have been sent out after the BMF's virtual events, just as we requested feedback after live concerts
through 2019. Again, the responses have been overwhelmingly positive. Of the 13% who responded after
our 2020 Fall Gathering, 75% rated the musical experience "extremely satisfactory" and 16% "somewhat
satisfactory" (10% said they didn't watch the concert). Additionally, through Concordia University's music
faculty we promoted our virtual Festival and other BMF videos in 2020 to students. We intend to expand
our student outreach program (running since 2015) in 2020-2021 through underwriting and grants,
offering the Bach concert and any other BMF online presentations to music professors and harpsichord
and organ teachers operating privately in the city, and through city schools, including PAMA at Corona del
Mar High School, and NHPA at Newport Harbor High School. If socially distanced live concerts proceed in
June 2021, $5 student tickets will also be offered to those events.

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 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 NEW or existing project/program?
The virtual centerpiece of our 41St season will be a one-hour program—A Bach Keyboard Extravaganza—
performed by the acclaimed American harpsichordist and organist Matthew Dirst. Featuring solo
harpsichord and organ music from the German Baroque era, interspersed with lively spoken commentary
on the instruments and music, the performance will focus mainly on the uplifting music of J.S. Bach.
Winner of major international competitions on both instruments, Dirst is Artistic Director of Ars Lyrica
Houston, a Grammy -nominated period instrument ensemble that presents a broad range of musical
activities, from bilingual educational programs to fully staged operas. His program, to be prerecorded at
St. Philip Church in Houston, makes use of two notable, and visually attractive, new instruments: a 48 -
stop Baroque -style organ built by Paul Fritts (2010) and a German harpsichord by John Phillips (2020). We
will use filming to full advantage, with multiple cameras focusing on details of the instruments. Recording
in May, this will be a co -production with Ars Lyrica Houston, who will share the production costs 50/50
with the BMF and use the program for their own, local, promotion. The proposed NBAC grant will cover
Dirst's artistic fee and the BMF's 50% of production costs, plus a portion of marketing and educational
outreach expenses to reach new audiences, of all ages, within the local community. The film will be free
of charge to view and made available as widely as possible. Funds will also be directed toward subsidizing
reduced cost ($5, instead of $40) student tickets for the proposed live concerts during the Festival. To
put this request in context, our complete June 23-27, 2021 Festival will, subject to all government safety
approvals, feature Baroque music from across Europe in small-scale formats. This includes chamber works,
solo concertos accompanied by individual Festival orchestra players rather than full orchestra to adhere
to social distancing on stage, and limited solo arias with a singer behind a full -height plexiglass screen. The
opening concert on Wednesday June 23 in Sherman Gardens, Gardens of Song, will consist of 1711 -century
music from the British Isles, Italy and Spain; Thursday evening June 24 will be the premiere streaming of
A Bach Keyboard Extravaganza detailed above; and the Friday June 25 program, again in Sherman
Gardens, features concertos revived from a cancelled 2020 program entitled Concertos All Around,
highlighting our long-time audience -favorite soloists. The final Sunday program June 27, currently planned
for outdoors at St. Michael and All Angels, includes Vivaldi's L'Amoroso violin concerto with Blumenstock.
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.
Our 2020 videos were viewed a total of 3,406 times and based on our survey, 10% of June virtual Festival
viewers were in the age range 46-55 or below. We hope to increase this segment in 2021. The BMF's live
seasons 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.

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.)
Providing it is deemed safe and allowable to do so, we aim at this time to provide four programs from
June 23 through June 27, 2021, with two outdoors at the Sherman Library and Gardens, on Wednesday
and Friday, respectively, and one outdoors at St. Michael and All Angels Episcopal Church on Sunday, each
of approximately one hour in duration repeated on each date to accommodate social distancing of
audience. The virtual harpsichord and organ lecture -recital film A Bach Keyboard Extravaganza will be
premiered on the Thursday evening of the Festival week (June 24), and will be available afterward for
community access, posting on the NBAC and Newport Beach library websites, potentially offered for local
radio and TV cable syndication, and made available for Ars Lyrica Houston's use as co-producer. The
concerts will feature Baroque -era music selected by Artistic Director Elizabeth Blumenstock and
performed by period performance specialists, Festival orchestra members, and other professionals. If
allowable, 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.
