With Easter falling in late April the Summer Temi began on 28th April quickly followecl by the disjointed weeks

Fmm Mark Fothgen. What a nuhtl A simplyjoyous evening ofmusic-making. Everyone on stage seemed to
be having a blast. I've had lots of messages from the band members saying how much (hey enjoyed

spèctacular s&ason.

In summary, the London Concert Choir 2024-25 season provided mernbers and audience a balance of choral

Chairman's ststement and plans for future period5
LCC remains one ofthe b8$1. rf not the b•st. amateur choirs in London led by Mart F￿ttgen.
Season after season LCC continue to 'sing above their w•ght' cOMpa￿d to the larger London based choirs.
providing audiences wth engaging. moving and thrilling perf￿ManceS 4 to 5 times a choral season.
LCC continuously w¢)rks to engage largÈr audience attendance numbers that naturally lead to higher ticket
sales in ￿turn. We are engaging with crtjr audieFKe through S¢￿ial media than past channels of pgster

and nyer poslal malings- pa￿Y due to lrimming running cosls whefe we can aThJ nolirvJ that today's audiences
are finding concerts and tMJyir*J Ibckets though digital means and not past methods of physical box offices.
LCC must engage more in communicating their vast lalenl to a wder audiersce in what is already a highly
compeb'live choral enVIrc￿Ment in L￿)dOn. The post concert 'buzz' is ak¥ays exhilarating for both Members
and audiences Ihis need5 lo be shared with an ever growing attendance audv&nce.
LCC are reviwng the annual income st￿arnS trryn as5esstng what ￿1r Ltsndr￿ ¢horal Gompetition does to
simplifying our Friends of LCC scheme to looking at the value of our annual subscription compared to similar
sized choirs and other evening creatsve ccwJrses in the London a￿8. Currendy we are eKceptionally good value
for money aThJ an initial discussion Members showed that many are willing to annually pay more. Thts w¢ll
be assessed in greater deiail before the fdlowng season slarts in Seplernber 2026.
The LCC score library in the Bloomsbury Central Baptist Ch¢Jrch LCC Office is a treasure trove of choral
material but based LCC not repeatlng fepertoire wTrth around a 10 year break. past scores are tsking up a
lot of Shelf Space. We need to undertake a 5core5 fA)unt and then assess what sco￿$ we can put up for sale
via obay or the like or rent to Olher d)(Mrs.
Our main digital channd of entry to LCC, the websrte. needs a ￿vieW to make sure we are accessible to
interested new members and provide infomation 24n to existing members.
As noted in the last Chairman's statemenL LCC again continues lo be a rAJ5ib"ve envlronment for Members
new and old. It is a love(J routine in allending reheawsals, learring. making mussc for Ihe heart and soul aThJ
being pèrt of the LCC family.
