It is an unincorporated association governed by a constitution, which has been amended from time to time. Its assets rest in the Trustees, who ensure that a committee of elected and ex officio officers carries out the management of the Society. ## **The Trustees** The Society’s Trustees, under charity legislation, are the elected members of the committee and ex officio chair. They represent interests of the members and have the skills necessary to accept responsibility for the maintenance of the Society’s assets and for the oversight of others, members and non-members, who voluntarily assist the society. Ex officio appointments are made by the commitee, all other committee members are elected by members at the Annual General Meeting. It is anticipated that the committee should have the skills necessary to manage the affairs of the Society for the benefit or the musical education of its members and of the wider population around Southampton and Hampshire. 2 **SOUTHAMPTON PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY** ## **TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 JULY 2022** ## **Current Committee** Kate Greaves (Chair) John Newell (Vice Chair) Deborah Mitchell (Secretary) Michael Kelly (Treasurer) Claire Heslop Katharine Ingram Kathryn Kemish Julia Maltby Margaret Moules Allan Pollock Anne Rogers Peter Smith Susan Stephenson Elena Vorobeva The Musical Director of the Society, David Gibson, and the Deputy Conductor/Rehearsal Accompanist, Paul Spanton, are ex-officio members of the committee, but are not Trustees. ## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** The objectives of the Society as set out in its constitution are to promote, improve, develop and maintain public education in, and appreciation of, the art and science of music in all its aspects by the presentation of public concerts and recitals and by such other ways as the Society through its committee shall determine from time to time. ## **Activities in the year to 31 July 2022** The Choir resumed rehearsals and performances in September 2021, taking care to observe the procedures made necessary by the continuing difficulties caused by Covid-19. The Choir held three concerts during the year. In December 2021, we performed Rossini's Stabat Mater and Vaughan Williams Serenade to Music, with the New London Synfonia, in the O2 Guild Hall, Southampton. In March 2022, we performed a programme of music by Mozart in Winchester Cathedral, including the Great Mass in C minor. In June 2022, we performed a Showcase of songs from Musicals in the Turner Sims Concert Hall, Southampton. 3 **SOUTHAMPTON PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY** **TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 JULY 2022** ## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** The circumstances of the pandemic meant that the return to rehearsals was carefully managed so that no choir members would consider themselves at an unacceptable risk of exposure to coronavirus, while accommodating members who valued the collegiality of singing together, face to face. Roughly two thirds of members returned to the choir, a total of 102, though not all sang in the concerts. The three concerts were performed by 70-80 singers, who sang on appropriately spaced platforms and gave their full commitment and made up in energy and passion for their reduced numbers. The audience attendances were noticeably lower than in earlier years, though the final concert attracted the largest audience of the year at Turner Sims. The choirs finances were subject to continuing uncertainty as the pandemic evolved, and the costs of performing significantly exceeded the income. The year's programme was revised to reduce the expected costs for the third concert. We were fortunate to receive a substantial bequest (£20k) which provided a cushion against the uncertainties. 4 Going Concern Basls The accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis as in the opinion of the Trustees there are no material uncertainties about the charitvs ability to continue.
