**THE ANGMERING CHORALE, RCN: 1000048** **Registered Address: 18 Old Manor Road, Rustington, West Sussex BN16 3QS** ## **TRUSTEES REPORT for Year to 31[st] July 2025** The Angmering Chorale is a local choir that was founded in the1990’s by the then Head of Music of the Angmering School Over time, the choir grew to in excess of 100 singers and during that time has had a programme of 4 concerts a year, with immense success, two taking place in Arundel Cathedral, and two taking place in the Sports Hall of the Angmering School Covid and the lockdown has had a considerable effect on the Choir and numbers as a result have reduced down to around 50 members. This year has been one of great changes for the Angmering Chorale, and to negotiate the changes a former chairman, Eric Holmes founded a new Working Group/ Committee (ACWG) in August 2024. He was very instrumental in appointing a new Musical Director, Dominic Grier a Conductor with not only a significant reputation locally, but also Nationally and Internationally as well. We saw this as a massive opportunity to develop the work of the choir musically in its impact on the local Community, and area. The first four months saw a very successful performance of Handel’s Messiah in Arundel Cathedral in November led by the outgoing Musical Director George Jones, who retired on 31[st] December 2024. Two successful concerts were performed under Dominic’s new leadership in April 25(Haydn), which was also in memory of Eric Holmes who died in February and June 25 (Mozart)and Dominic wrote a review as follow: ‘The Hadyn seemed to work brilliantly with its exuberant orchestral accompaniment, which I'm assured by many audience members didn't overpower your voices, but enhanced them and made them shine. And then the Mozart Requiem — my first time conducting this in its entirety, with full orchestra and chorus. It's a big sing, and I know you gave everything you had to it, with the utmost dedication and passion. I thought it was a splendid and moving performance, all the more so thanks to our superb quartet of young soloists and the haunting sound quality of those wonderful Basset Horns. The members of the WPO hugely enjoyed performing with you, and have asked me to pass on their congratulations for all the hard work you'd put in behind the scenes to bring it all off so well. I can only second that wholeheartedly, offering my personal thanks for your commitment in rehearsals and the joy that you bring to our performances together. It really is an absolute pleasure to work with you all, as your Music Director! Dominic Grier On the Committee side, all of the trustees that were standing in the previous year resigned at the 31[st] December 2024 and a new committee of Trustees were set up as follows: Chair – John Heaton, Vice Chair – Andy Cresswell, Secretary – Gill Heaton, Treasurer – Sarah McCurrach, Library – Wendy Baker The Treasurer reports that in terms of operating costs, at the start of the year we had reserves of £9858 with further subscription revenues of approximately £8000 and Operating costs currently £8000 per Annum set us up well for the coming year. But despite 3 very well performed and received concerts, each one made a substantial loss, leaving reserves at the end of the year of £6786 Our aim remains the same – to further develop the musical reputation of the Angmering Chorale as a significant source of musical excellence in the heart of the Angmering Community. It was a real pleasure to welcome the Chorale to the Worthing Philharmonic's home at the Assembly Hall last Sunday, and I was absolutely delighted by how well the concert went. Your performance demonstrated so much commitment, musicality, energy and overall artistry. I sensed that this was very much appreciated by the audience, whose enthusiastic reception was encouraging and uplifting. I've always been impressed by the way in which groups such as the Chorale and the WPO can really 'deliver the goods' in a performance, and I'll never forget your first entry in 'Zadok the Priest' during the concert itself — I had encouraged quite a big _crescendo_ in the orchestra and was worried it might seem disproportionate once the choir came in, but my goodness was I wrong about that! There was the entry, with enormous impact... glorious, bang in tune, powerful, resplendent... just magnificent! The Hadyn seemed to work brilliantly with its exuberant orchestral accompaniment, which I'm assured by many audience members didn't overpower your voices, but enhanced them and made them shine. And then the Mozart Requiem — my first time conducting this in its entirety, with full orchestra and chorus. It's a big sing, and I know you gave everything you had to it, with the utmost dedication and passion. I thought it was a splendid and moving performance, all the more so thanks to our superb quartet of young soloists and the haunting sound quality of those wonderful Basset Horns. The members of the WPO hugely enjoyed performing with you, and have asked me to pass on their congratulations for all the hard work you'd put in behind the scenes to bring it all off so well. I can only second that wholeheartedly, offering my personal thanks for your commitment in rehearsals and the joy that you bring to our performances together.
