## **City of Bristol Choir 2023–2024: Main Achievements & Charitable Impact**
## **14 October 2023 –** _**Fauré and Rheinberger** All Saints' Church, Clifton, 7:30pm_
This concert presented two masterworks of sacred choral repertoire: Gabriel Fauré’s _Requiem_ and Joseph Rheinberger’s _Cantus Missae_ . The performance offered the public an opportunity to experience the spiritual depth and harmonic richness of these contrasting works — one intimate and ethereal, the other majestic and polyphonic. The choir engaged new and returning audiences in the appreciation of classical sacred music while offering singers and listeners alike an educational exploration of 19th-century European liturgical traditions.
## **16 December 2023 –** _**Christmas Spectacular** St George’s Bristol, 7:30pm_
In collaboration with the Bristol Ensemble, this festive programme celebrated seasonal music from across the centuries. The performance combined well-known carols with lesser-heard works, creating an engaging and uplifting experience for a wide audience. By presenting a professionally directed concert in a prestigious venue, the choir encouraged appreciation for choral and orchestral music traditions while making them accessible to a broad public, including families and first-time concertgoers.
## **19 December 2023 –** _**Festive Fiesta**_
## _St George’s Bristol, 7:30pm_
This interactive concert encouraged audience participation through communal carol singing, bringing music education into the realm of direct experience. Featuring the Bristol Ensemble and led by David Ogden and Roger Huckle, the programme included orchestral highlights and choral classics. The event helped demystify classical concert-going and fostered a joyful, inclusive environment, furthering the choir’s mission to develop musical appreciation across diverse community groups. **28 January 2024 –** _**Odyssey**_ **by Jonathan Dove (World Premiere)** _Bristol Beacon, 5:00pm_ A landmark event for the choir, this concert featured the world premiere of _Odyssey_ , a new dramatic cantata by leading British composer Jonathan Dove. Commissioned to mark the reopening of Bristol Beacon, the performance placed City of Bristol Choir at the heart of the city’s cultural renewal. The choir’s participation in the premiere of a major contemporary work expanded public awareness of modern choral composition and offered singers a unique opportunity to work directly with living music creators, fulfilling the choir’s educational remit
**----- Start of picture text -----**
through innovation and collaboration.
22 March 2024 – That Friday Feeling
All Saints’ Church, Clifton, 7:45pm
This concert featured a rich and varied programme
designed to challenge and inspire both choir members
and the audience. A highlight was the world premiere of
The Lord Is My Shepherd by emerging composer Amy
Summers, providing a platform for new British talent.
Works by Campbell, Lauridsen, Howells, and others
introduced listeners to a broad spectrum of sacred and
secular choral music. The educational value was
enhanced through thoughtful programming that balanced
traditional favourites with contemporary voices,
reinforcing the choir’s role as a cultural educator.
16 June 2024 – Holst: The Planets
Bristol Beacon, 7:00pm
In partnership with Exultate Singers and the Bristol
Metropolitan Orchestra, this large-scale concert
showcased Holst’s iconic The Planets suite, alongside
Finzi’s Imitations of Immortality and Hans Zimmer’s
Aurora . The performance combined visual, instrumental,
and choral elements to provide a multidimensional artistic
experience. Through collaboration with other ensembles
and the inclusion of both classical and cinematic
repertoire, the choir reached new audiences and
encouraged cross-genre musical appreciation, supporting
its aim to broaden public engagement with the musical
arts.
13 July 2024 – Summer Choral Spectacular
Bristol Beacon, 7:30pm
A unique collaboration with the Chorus of Westerly from
Rhode Island, USA, and Bath Philharmonia, this concert
celebrated international friendship through music.
Featuring works from both sides of the Atlantic, the event
highlighted the universal language of choral singing. The
cultural exchange deepened musical understanding for
participants and audiences alike, demonstrating the
choir’s commitment to developing appreciation of music
in its many forms and fostering global connections
through performance.

Achievements against
objectives set|
City of Bristol Choir enjoyed another remarkably
successful year - the choir continued to draw large
audiences for its performances. More and more people
across Bristol and beyond are being exposed to fantastic
choral performances and a huge range of new and
classical
pieces.
The choir continues to collaborate with many ensembles
and individuals across the city, strengthening relationships
andpartnerships across the wider music scene. The|
|---|---|
||performances were held in a variety of venues across the
city and exceptions and discounts were always granted to
those eligible to make sure access was not limited to
those with monetary means.|

## **Financial Review**
|Review of the charity’s
financial position at the end
of the period|Para 1.21|The 2023/24 season has given a necessary boost to
choir funds. Collaborations with other choirs, orchestras
and the Bristol Beacon lowered the element of risk and
loss associated with putting on concerts this year. It was
an unusual programme year, with two concerts entirely
put on by other organisations and therefore with no
financial risk for the choir. This will enable us to
continue with the Choir’s objectives in future years and
think about increasing reserves which currently would
not cover one failed concert.|
|---|---|---|
|Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held|Para 1.22|City of Bristol Choir maintains a reserve of at least
£5000 to support the Choir’s on-going activities and to
provide a contingency fund in case of poor ticket sales
or unexpected costs. The accompanying Accounts
quantify three designated funds (the CBC Bursary
Fund, the Commissions Fund and the CBC Tour Fund)
and explain their purposes.|

risks facing the charity|Para 1.46|The principal risks to the Choir are first; ensuring that
audiences continue to attend concerts given the
growing competition for musical performances in and
around Bristol and secondly, that membership remains
at an optimum level to deliver the aims and objectives
of the choir and to generate subscription income. The
Trustees continue to review this and the choir’s
position remains satisfactory. We are also aware of the
potential financial risk posed to the choir in the form of
the cost of living crisis;
ensuring that audiences continue
to attend concerts given the growing competition for
musical performances in and around Bristol and the
