Kensington Symphony Orchestra, Annual Review 2022-23
The orchestra was able to return to a full roster of six concerts in this season, and to resume the practice of one concert being with a guest conductor. Attendances of players, and the size of audiences remained much as they had been last year, thus indicating a full recovery from the pandemic.
A return to ambitious and enterprising repertoire choices characterised the year’s work. Our programmes included a concert performance of Britten’s Peter Grimes in Queen Elizabeth Hall, Stravinsky’s Agon, conducted by our guest conductor, Paul Hoskins, performed in Cadogan Hall, Mahler’s epic Third Symphony, performed in Fairfield Hall, and Maw’s Dance Scenes to round the year off. All of these examples are rarely if ever performed by nonprofessional ensembles, and the fact that KSO could provide such performances to a high standard marks the orchestra out, and provides both audiences and players with a very high quality experience.
We continued our association with Pimlico Academy, enabling their ‘Music Tracks’ evening, in which we provide a small orchestra to accompany school students who make music for their parents and guardians to listen to. This outreach project has become a firm fixture, and is set to continue next year.
The charity published a DEI Policy and added this to its website. Few amateur orchestras have (or had at the time of publication) an open-access DEI policy. The AGM included a discussion of this topic, and the charity is firmly committed to supporting diversity and inclusion.
The income of the charity is mainly derived from contributions made by participants, and tickets sold for concerts. It also receives donations from other individuals such as ‘friends’, and from foundations. The trustees are tasked with ensuring that the programmes of the orchestra can be achieved within its financial means. The accounts show a healthy position in which reserves are a little over the equivalent of six months’ expenditure.
