While the notion of a financially sustainable nonprofit in the Arts may seem impossible to attain, the Philadelphia Boys Choir & Chorale has overcome the odds. As the world-renowned performance group celebrates its 50th anniversary, Executive Director Stephan Stoeckl and Artistic Director Jeffrey R. Smith are pleased to share their views on how to keep a nonprofit vibrant, relevant and fiscally sound.
