## Report of the Trustees 

for the Period 1 November 2020 to 31 December 2021 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Significant activities** 

Our activities can be defined by: 

**Listen.Play.Create** which includes 

## **Listen** : Performance. 

Festivals and Concert series around the country, notably North East Guitar Festival, London Guitar Festival, Bath Guitar Festival and summer school, IGF Guitar Summit at Kings Place and various other concert series, such as our Guitar in London concert series. 

**Play** :  Education. 

IGF runs workshops, summer schools and outreach projects around the country, especially London, the north east and south west. 

IGF also runs young artist development programmes such as Young Artist Platform, Tomorrow People Platform and Aspire Platform which not only comprise performance but also mentoring and workshops in a range of subjects both musical and non-musical such as financial planning, marketing & PR and social media. 

IGF has also successfully created an international guitar competition called London International Guitar Competition with contestants coming from all over the world, from 32 different countries in the six editions held so far. Prestigious venues include Royal Academy of Music, Royal College of Music, Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance, Guildhall School of Music and Drama, Barbican Milton Court and Kings Place. 

**Create** : New Music commissions, CD production and publications 

IGF is the leading organisation for New Music in Europe having commissioned over 107 works for guitar, its CD label BGS Records has recorded 38 CDs of predominantly new music and have published 22 new scores. 

## **Exceptional circumstances during 2021.** 

This has been an exceptional year dominated by the worldwide pandemic. Covid-19 has devastated the world of the performing arts which saw venues close all over the world, concerts, festivals, and summer schools being cancelled or postponed. We suffered a sharp fall in ticket sales either by cancellation of events during the three lockdown periods in the UK or reduced income as a result of the socially distanced live concerts. 

We have adapted well to the new circumstances by developing a strong online presence and finding ways to develop both existing and new ways of working. During the lockdowns we delivered weekly online concerts, mainly by young performers. By making these concerts permanently available on the IGF Facebook and YouTube channels, we have found a substantial new audience. 

We are happy to report that despite the restrictions we were able to fully deliver our summer school in Bath during August 2021 offering courses in six different types of guitar music. Attendance was down on 2019 and previous years but was still impressive in view of these exceptional circumstances. 

Our young artist development programmes all flourished using a combination of online and live delivery. The Young Artist Platform, Aspire and Tomorrow People programmes were all successful despite the restrictions on face-to-face contact time. We expanded the range of workshops and lectures for our young artists by using online platforms such as Zoom. Some new aspects were actually more easily delivered using online technology and as a result we now offer our young artists a richer experience. For this reason, some online delivery models will remain part of our work going forward even when the pandemic will finally be over. 

## **Public benefit** 

The Trustees have complied with their duty in section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to guidance published by the Charity Commission.

## Report of the Trustees 

for the Period 1 November 2020 to 31 December 2021 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities** 

## **New projects** 

Despite the problems caused by the pandemic, the Charity can look back on a period of growth of our nationwide activities by developing new projects such as the Guitar in London series in which each concert presents a young emerging artist alongside an established artist. Another innovative project is La Leona, women and the guitar, which features new commissions from women composers played by women guitarists. The project is also supported by workshops, panel discussions and lectures. We have run this innovative project in 2020 and 2021 and will continue it in 2022. 

Our educational programme also met with great success. IGF had quite unprecedented press coverage and was recommended by several national newspapers as the Number 1 agency for guitar tuition in the UK. Our work with school children and young people in the wider community was developed further despite the lockdowns and the closure of schools for a period of time. 

We also further developed the EuroStrings project, a collaborative of 22 European guitar festivals. This 4-year project is co-funded by a 2M Euro grant of the Creative Europe programme of the European Union. 

IGF has also delivered the international PR on behalf of the EuroStrings project as a whole and produced the annual EuroStrings Brochure which is printed and distributed by each of the 22 member festivals. In addition, we produced two CDs on our BGS label featuring these young artists. 

Successful partnerships with our stakeholders and others continued as well as the development of new ones: the Embassy of Spain's Office for cultural and scientific affairs, Kings Place, Southbank Centre, Sage Gateshead, International Guitar Research Centre at Surrey University, Royal Academy of Music, Haringey Music Education Hub, Bath Spa University and others. 

Three new CDs were released in this period to excellent reviews both nationally and internationally. Eleven new commissions further developed our New Music programme that now has been firmly established as the most comprehensive and prestigious in the UK. 

## **Development Targets** 

To consolidate and enhance our position by: 

- Developing our festivals and concert series around the UK 

- Developing our youth programme and outreach, and our young artist development programmes. 

- Developing diversity in all our work 

- Developing our new music programme. 

- Developing Eurostrings. EuroStrings, a collaborative of 17 European guitar festivals with additional partners in the USA and China, is a major international project. The project concentrates on young artist development, outreach with schoolchildren, the building of shared resources, audience lab and research and development 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Financial Review** 

Note 14 sets out an analysis of the assets attributable to the various funds and a description of the trusts. These assets are sufficient to meet the Charity's obligations on a fund by fund basis. 

## **Reserves policy** 

It is the policy of the charity that the level of free reserves (those not tied up in fixed assets and designated and restricted funds) should be maintained at a level equivalent to three month's expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at  this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity's current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. At 31 December 2021 the charity had reserves of £89,149 (2020 £87,306). As noted in the review of activities, the charity has implemented a series of policies in order to increase reserves to the desired level.

## Report of the Trustees 

for the Period 1 November 2020 to 31 December 2021 

## **FUTURE PLANS** 

## **Objectives: what we will achieve** 

We will build on our proven strengths as the leading guitar festival organisation in Europe and the leading guitar tuition provider in the UK: 

- Introduce 30,000 people to our guitar events, teach 9000 predominantly young people, develop 50 young artists on our YAP, Aspire and Tomorrow People platforms as well as a further 30 in our wider programme. 

- Develop grassroots projects such as the IGF Guitar Circus and YAP in schools in collaboration with Music Education Hubs, and IGF summer schools. 

- Promote ethnic and gender diversity by creating new projects such as La Leona, women and the guitar 

- Add 8 new works, 2 CDs and 2 publications to the repertoire., 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Governing document** 

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006. 

## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees** 

New trustees are recruited through other trustees and also by adverts in the music and arts professional press as well as on our website. Half of the seats on the Board are replaced every 3 years and include representatives of music industry, educational establishments, our teachers and artists and students as well as members with more general knowledge (financial, organisational). 

Before joining they are given a copy of the Memorandum & Articles of Association as well as 3 years accounts and a 'job description' which states what is expected from them (4 meetings a year, joining a number of working groups etc). They then meet with the trustees and staff. 

Only when all trustees agree is a new trustee admitted. There is a maximum of 12 and a minimum of 3 trustees. None of the trustees has any beneficial interest in the company. All of the trustees are members of the company and guarantee to contribute £1 in the event of a winding up. 

We are in the process of recruiting new trustees with a view to make our board more diverse and reflective of the beneficiaries of the charity and society as a whole. Ethnic and gender diversity is key in our work with many recent projects breaking new ground in a guitar world which is often seen as a white male dominated. Venus and the Guitar and La Leona, women and the guitar are two important projects in this regard. 

## **Induction and training of new trustees**

## Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of International Guitar Foundation 

& Festivals 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of International Guitar Foundation & Festivals ('the Company')** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the period 1 November 2020 to 31 December 2021. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act'). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or 

4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)). 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
