Achievements and Performance

	SORP reference
Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.	Para 1.20	During the reporting period the orchestra rehearsed and performed five concert programmes in the local area: 8 & 9 June 2024: Orchestral repertoire (overture, instrumental concerto, symphony) in local concert venues (Totnes and Shaldon) for the enjoyment and benefit of local audiences. 22nd June 2024: ‘Gala’ concert featuring well-known repertoire designed to appeal to and engage an audience less familiar with orchestral music (Brixham). 19th September 2024: ‘A Night of Classics’ concert featuring well-known repertoire designed to appeal to and engage an audience less familiar with orchestral music. In association with local music and food/beer festival, Abbfest. (Abbotskerswell). 30th November & 1st December 2024: Orchestral repertoire (orchestral prelude, tone poem for orchestra, orchestral ballet suite). This was presented alongside a programme of talks, masterclasses and workshops designed to explore the world of classical music at the beginning of the 20th century (Dartington). The orchestra worked with other local arts practitioners to present a weekend of activities exploring links with the concert program: -Shadow puppet workshop for children/young people and parents. -Composition workshop for 12+ year olds -Piano masterclass -Dance workshop Pre-concert talks were presented with the orchestra and conductor exploring musical elements of the pieces. This provided insights and explanations for audiences less familiar with orchestral music in order to enhance accessibility and enjoyment.

Additionally, one of the weekend performances was presented as a matinee in order to promote a relaxed atmosphere and encourage attendance from families and young people. 8 & 9 March 2025: Orchestral repertoire (orchestral prelude, song cycle for solo voice and orchestra, symphony) in local concert venue (Dartington) for the enjoyment and benefit of local audiences. Other activities: 1 October 2024: The orchestra presented workshops at local primary schools. These comprised live performance paired with an interactive exploration of key elements of music. The presentation engaged children by demonstrating the instruments of the orchestra, their character and capabilities, and the musical effect produced by different instrument groupings. Children were also introduced to the role of the conductor and given the opportunity to conduct the orchestra themselves. Workshops were designed to introduce children to orchestral music and enhance music appreciation in general. The charity’s intention was also to encourage learning an instrument and to promote the benefits of musicianship such as concentration, cooperation, and selfexpression. Assistance was offered to parents whose children wished (as a result of the workshop) to learn an instrument, by signposting to local instrumental teachers and instrument hire services.

This may be used in the event that planned concert activities are unable to proceed, or to mitigate against other unforseen loss of income, or unexpected costs.

Torbay Symphony Orchestra

Independent Examiner’s Report on the Financial Statements to the Trustees of Torbay Symphony Orchestra

Based on the Accounts for the year ended March 31 2025.

Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner

The Charity’s Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Charity Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 (2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

examine the Accounts (under section 145 of the Act);
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Act); and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of independent examiner’s statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and a comparison of the Accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the Accounts, and seeking explanations from the Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the Accounts.

Independent examiner’s statement

In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention

which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
a. to keep accounting records in accordance with section130 of the Act; and b. to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act have not been met; and
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the Accounts to be reached.
