# **TRUSTEES’ REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31ST AUGUST 2025**
Charity Registration No. 1073392 Company Registration No. 03685553
**2024/25 Season**
2024/25 was a landmark year for Bath Philharmonia — a year in which music brought communities together, young voices were amplified on professional stages and thousands of people discovered the joy of live orchestral music for the very first time. From nationally recognised performances to deeply personal creative projects with young carers and school communities, Bath Phil has continued to redefine what a modern orchestra can be: artistically ambitious, socially relevant and rooted in the communities it serves. As we traversed our 25th year of operation, the year marked both a celebration of our impact and the beginning of an exciting new chapter built on collaboration, inclusion and co-creation.
## **Highlights**
In 2024/25, Bath Philharmonia’s reach and impact was significant. We:
- performed **10 orchestral concerts** with **12 sensational soloists** to a live audience of over **12,000 people** .
- gifted **3,800+ free tickets** to local audiences to encourage them to discover a live orchestra for the first time.
- delivered **56 days** (or 400+ hours) of creative musicmaking activities directly involving over **850 young people** across the South West of England performing live to over **7,500 people** .
- welcomed pupils from every secondary school in Bath and North East Somerset to our concerts and invited **300 pupils** from **5 local primary schools** to participate in workshops at our rehearsals.
- brought together **130 teenagers** from **twelve secondary/senior schools** in Bath & North East Somerset as _Harmony Rising_ , our creative inclusive choir to perform their own co-created songs at both Bath Festival’s _Party in the City_ and Bath & North East Somerset Council’s Mayor Making Ceremony supported over **150 Young Carers** to create and perform their own music including a live performance of Love is Enough, a Top 40 Christmas hit on national TV.

**In The Concert Hall**
Over the last decade, Bath Phil has transformed both the scale and diversity of its audience – growing annual reach from 5,000 people to more than 15,000 people in 2024/25. During the same period, the average age of our concertgoers has fallen significantly from 65 to approximately 45, reflecting the orchestra’s commitment to accessible, welcoming and relevant live orchestral experiences for modern audiences.
_“It was all wonderful. The quality of performance, inclusive atmosphere, and community engagement.”_ Audience member at concert on 9 October 2025.
Bath Phil welcomed renowned soloists including Benjamin Grosvenor (piano), Jess Gillam (saxophone), Aaron Azunda Akugbo (trumpet) and Laura van der Heijden (cello) to the city. We introduced Scott Wilson, our first guest conductor to the concert platform. Collaborations included performances with Bath Minerva Choir and at Budleigh Music Festival. In total, Bath Phil performed 10 orchestral concerts with 12 sensational soloists to a live audience of over 12,000 people.
_“Wonderful guest soloists, great orchestra and an interesting programme.”_ Audience member at concert on 19 November 2025.
Our programming reflects changing expectations of what orchestral music should be in the 21st century – blending world-class performance with storytelling, participation and contemporary relevance. Every public concert featured music by living and/or diverse composers, and Bath Phil continued its commitment to showcasing co-created music by young people on the professional concert platform alongside the orchestra.
**2**
## **Inspiring Our School Communities**
Bath Phil delights in providing every possible opportunity to musically inspire the next generation and nurture future musicians. We welcomed over 300 pupils from five different primary schools to attend and experience our rehearsals. We mentored local secondary school students and trained them in skills in working musically with primary-aged children.
Our partnership with King Edward’s School in Bath continued to thrive into its thirteenth year, with a year-round programme of masterclasses, opportunities to attend rehearsals and a side-byside gala concert with the school orchestra. The Bath Phil Creative Learning team has also worked in Ralph Allen School and Poole High School to inspire students in Year 9 to opt to take music at GCSE level.
_“What an epic experience for our pupils – they are still buzzing about it and keep asking what’s next!”_ J Henderson, Music Teacher, Ralph Allen School
**3**
## **Championing Inclusive Music Making**
Bath Phil continued to challenge traditional assumptions about who orchestral music is for and who gets to create it. Our inclusive approach to music-making brought together 130 pupils from 12 secondary schools, including Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) settings, through Harmony Rising, our creative inclusive choir. Young People co-created and performed original music at major civic and cultural events including Bath Festival’s Party in the City and Bath and North East Somerset Council’s Mayor Making Ceremony.
We brought digital music-making opportunities to pupils attending our local primary autism resource base, integrating their digital music with live music co-created by their peers in their partner primary school.
_"The project was an amazing opportunity for our pupils to engage in high quality music workshops with an incredible team. They all loved the creative approach to the music creation. It inspired us to arrange more regular music sessions so the children can continue to explore music making this year. Many thanks to all the team involved in such a wonderful experience!"_
Michael Bogg, Resource Base Manager, St Martin's Garden Primary School
Our Creative Ensemble model, in partnership with Soundstorm, the Music Hub for Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole continued to provide Continuing Professional Development (CPD) opportunities for local music-leaders and an open-access music-making environment for young musicians who want the opportunity to co-create their own music.
**4**
**Amplifying The Voices of Young Carers**
Bath Phil continued to amplify the voices and lived experiences of Young Carers through ambitious creative projects that combined music-making, storytelling and advocacy. Across Bristol & South Gloucestershire, Bath & North East Somerset and Wiltshire, the Creative Learning Team led week-long residencies enabling young carers to co-create 12 original pieces of music accompanied by animations and performed to families, friends and local communities.
In October, Bath Phil formed a Young Carers Choir bringing together participants from Bath & North East Somerset, Bristol & South Gloucestershire and Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole to record, ‘Love is Enough’ – a song written by older young carers reflecting on their lived experiences and importance of connection, hope and recognition.
The project gained national attention, reaching audiences far beyond the South West. Supported by Sir Ed Davey, who has personal experience as a young carer, the song entered the UK’s Official Download Charts peaking at position No.28, received national media coverage and led to performances on national television and at No. 10 Downing Street. Most importantly, it created opportunities for young carers to speak directly about their experiences to policymakers, public audiences and national leaders through music.
**5**
This project introduced young carers to professional recording processes, live broadcasting and national performance environments whilst creating opportunity to meet public figures, MPs and policy makers. For some participants, it was also their first visit to London – an experience that would otherwise have been financially or practically out of reach.
_“I didn’t think politicians knew or cared about Young Carers, but they do now! I didn’t think I’d be confident enough to stand in front of lots of adults and tell them about what we do or what we need. Being able to explain through music helped a lot and now I know I’d be able to do it again.”_
Young Carer
Our Young Carers projects reflect Bath Phil’s wider commitment to ensuring that orchestral and creative music-making can provide a platform for under-represented young voices to be heard, valued and celebrated.
**6**
## **What is a young carer?**
A Young Carer is a child (aged 5-18) who has a significant caring responsibility for a family member who is ill, disabled or misuses drugs or alcohol. Older young carers, aged 16-25, are also known as young adult carers and they may have different support needs to younger carers. Caring roles can affect their education, friendships, health & wellbeing. 1 in 5 young people in the UK have caring responsibilities and it is estimated that there are over 1,000,000 young carers in the UK.

## **Co-Creating Our Future**
2024/25 marked an important moment of transition and renewal for Bath Phil. July 2025 saw the departure of Bath Philharmonia founder Jason Thornton, who had served as our Music Director since 2000. Jason worked tirelessly to develop the orchestra, to sustain it, and achieve the high standards is does today.
The organisation has subsequently embraced a more deeply collaborative and co-creative approach to artistic leadership and organisational planning. Bath Phil empowered musicians, music leaders and staff to shape programming and creative learning activity collectively, embedding co-creation not only with projects but across the organisation itself.
An artistic planning group, comprising staff, regular freelance musicians and music leaders was established to review, reflect on and co-create future artistic programmes – ensuring that a wide range of voices and lived experiences continue to shape Bath Phil’s creative direction.
The Board continues to be led jointly by Co-Chairs Vicki Davies and Adam Powell and was strengthened in June 2025 by the addition of three new trustees – each of whom brings relevant and valuable skills and experience – following a programme of open recruitment. Trustees are demonstrating leadership across multiple areas, both thematic and through chairing subcommittees on areas including fundraising, business engagement, HR, finance, and brand and marketing.
## **Diversification of Income and Financial Stability**
Diversification of income remained a strategic priority throughout the year as Bath Phil continued to strengthen its long-term resilience and sustainability. Trustees and staff have focused on broadening income streams, deepening partnerships and building organisational capacity to respond flexibly to emerging regional and national opportunities, including laying the foundations for future public investment at a national level.
Over the financial year (2024/25), the Charity’s total income increased from
£400,000 to £407,000. Our full programme of concerts, creative learning projects and operating costs increased from £374,000 to £410,000. As at 31 August 2025, reserves totalled £59,000, against a reserves requirement calculated at £44,500. The level of reserves held on this basis will fluctuate during the year and is regularly monitored by the trustees.
Orchestral Tax Relief continues to represent a significant figure within our finances [£73,500 24/25 and £77,550 23/24] and enables us to remain ambitious in our approach to building new audiences and creating positive social impact for our local communities.
**8**
**Funding and Support**
Bath Philharmonia continues to punch above its weight for a small charity and a mighty orchestra and continues to transform lives through the joy of live orchestral music. The charity continues to benefit from an incredibly generous and ever-growing family of Friends, Patrons and Benefactors. In 2024/25, we received support from six new trusts and foundations and welcomed corporate support from 10 new local businesses. We thank The Roper Family Charitable Trust for their continuing significant support of the orchestra.
We are grateful to everyone who enabled, supported, attended and participated in Bath Phil activities in 2024/25. Together we are building an orchestra that is ambitious in its artistic vision, inclusive in its practice and transformative in its impact. Thank you for being part of the Bath Phil family and helping us ensure that live orchestral music remains accessible, relevant and joyful for future generations.
