About ARCO COLLABORATIVE INC

ARCO Collaborative, founded in 2014 by violinist Jennifer Koh, is a New York–based nonprofit that produces idea-driven thematic programming and new-music commissions aimed at expanding whose stories and sounds are represented in Western art music. The organization partners with individual artists and major institutions to commission, develop, present, and record new works, and runs mentorship and educational initiatives that connect emerging composers and performers with established practitioners. ARCO is an active, donor-facing charity with current programming and recent multi-institutional projects (including a daylong festival presented at the Kennedy Center and collaborative commissions with Juilliard), and it files annual Form 990 tax returns under EIN 46-4241093.
