ReSe￿S Policy
A5 the profile of the orthestra continues to rise, the Celebrity C(￿rtS are fomiing an irKreasingly important
part of the orchestra's activity. To secure the semces of these very high-profile celebrity artists, we are having
to book further and further ahead. frequentty Iwo or three years in advance. As a result. the re5wves need to
be at a level to ensure we can meet these future cc1nff￿tments. Furthermore we have to recognise that we
operate in a context of uncertainty, as evidenced by the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic on Arts
organisations. The Trustees belieNt the cUrr￿t le*d to be too low.

OUTREACH
ke so rNth ds¢ the dreadful impart ofthe Coronabryws pandeftic this ￿ar has had a devastatyng effect
on our wular programmes to tske mu*c crtrt into the commuryty wl)ere it is so much needed. In many
ways, the schools shutdown tcgether with the igSating effect of lockdown has made it wen more
important for u5 to try to find altemative wajs to reath otst to thtte communities.
We consulted music teadws classroom teatheys and parents on what mwjht be most apweoated at thi5
challenging time for schools and familie5. As a resul( we d￿eloPed a di¥erse series of vldeos for primary
5th001 thildren called 'OP at Home.. The Mde05 were ueated by cwr musicians ¥•Drking alone from home
during lockdown. in the hope of sending fI￿S14 fvn and creativity to thildTen watching at home and in school.
The series was desrgned to be used in various setting¥ feabjring different instruments and themes as well as
encouraging lots of interactiwty.
Using an easily acces5itrAe platform availa￿e to an. and tAfjde Oistribution through social media, ￿ reached a
large audience and we were ddighted to record a total number of views approachbn9 10.000. As a re5uIL we
are. at Septernber 2020. aboirt to launth a new swies ol %rydeos but this tim¢ taknng adV￿ts9e of the slightly
more relaxed social distanang ￿gUlations. cwr n￿sicianS have been al￿e to play together in srnal groups to
add an extra dimension to the r*w video&
But the year was not a totsl wipe-OLrt for us. and up to I￿kdOW￿ in March 2020, we did manage to deliver
much of our nonnal planned programme.
We concentrate on local Special S(1￿)d$ catering fcK thildfen with special needs suffering from extreme
emotional. leaming and behavioural cor￿l￿on5. We tend to work the Sarr￿ schools on a regular basis and
this enables us to estsblish a strcry bond with the teaching and pastonl staff.
We have worked in the Mulbry P4Jsh Sthool in S&mdlake. a national prrylision for seriously psythologically
disbjrbed thildrern for 15 years. E￿ry year we run a week-kng programme for the entve school, based on an
original theme su99ested ty the $th0￿ itsdl. Plans were in plxe for this yearfs workshop from 11 to 15 May
2020. but of course had to be cancelled. It will be some time before xhools are in a position to welcome
outside wsitors again. and in place of this we are runnin9 a remote. digitsl series of InnO￿tr¥e and interacti¥e
workshops specially de%gned forthe Mulbery Bush sthool. beginning in October 2020.

We have a similar relationship at N￿theffl House. anoiher speoal needs 5thool in North Okford. Whe￿ we
always involve additionally a local mainstream Fvimary 5chocA, a sharirvj experience highly valued by both
sthools We ran a one4ay at the sthoc4 in October 2019. which was a link feature between last
years week-lon9 programme and our F￿anned retum visit ￿rnmeT 2020. This of course suffered the same fate
as our other ¥￿1*Sh￿>S The sthod itself dosed some time before the general shutdown. but we are pleased
to see ihat they are plaNung to Teow shortty. under the management of a new TWSL This will. we hope,
open the prospect of renewing our relationship with the sthool in the nearfuture.
It is in environments like these that we feel ourwork is most valuable. and evaluation forrns and feedback from

As a resuli this yearwe expanded our Special Schools to tae in the mat￿ ￿lChard school on the
Blackbird Leys Estate. which like Mulberry Bush and Northem H¢￿se schools wovides wonderful specialist
care to severely damaged yourrfj thildren. Fotlowiw a one-day plot on 4 November 2019. our introductory
week-long programme for Marth 2020 got off to a wonderhjl start on day one. but had then to be abandoned
due to the pandemic We are of coutse l(x)khrwJ foThwd to a resumOion as soon as condithrms permit
We also established a str￿gI>)nd the yYar5 with the three primary schools on the Blackbird Leys
estèt¢ an area e¥perienortg high levels of unemploymenL criff* and scKial inteThention, and we hope to be
able to continue to work there as ￿>On as Twe can.
Additionally. we offer OP￿ days for LEginrnr instrumentslists from local state primary schods utilising as host

10 March just befo￿ lockdown. The involvement and engagement of the children was a welation to all the
tsachets and supwt staff. Again, lurthff pl*)rung has had to be wt on hold.
