REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 June 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
To advance, improve, develop and maintain public education in, and appreciation of the art and science of music in all its aspects by any means the trustees see fit. This includes presentations of public concerts and recitals in the UK and abroad in which historical performance practice is applied using instruments of the period, as well as to further such charitable purpose(s) as the trustees may think fit (including by making grants and donations)
The charity's work in fulfilment of its objects is guided at an operational level by the headline aims of its Strategic Plan, which are (1) to create world-class performances; (2) to build strong, sustained relationships; (3) to identify and support emerging talent and (4) to develop organisational resilience.
Public benefit
The beneficiaries of our work are (1) our audiences, whom we endeavour to inspire through fresh and relevant interpretations, and to increase through live and digital performance activities and media; (2) the wider Classical Music sector as we advance artists of the future and drive interest in repertoire through our projects; and (3) the musicians with whom we work, both our emerging artists and our soloists.
We continue to evaluate Arcangelo's activities via qualitative statements from the press, promoters, and fans; via quarterly self-review and internal feedback from our trustees; via review of attendance and revenue figures from the concert venue and recording companies and via analysis of the reach of all kinds that we achieve, including live, broadcast and streaming audiences, as well as website and social media engagement.
We are pleased to report that across all these measures, Arcangelo has continued to strongly deliver public benefit, with 2022-23 demonstrating an unprecedentedly high level of achievement across live concerts in the UK and abroad, recording activity, young artist development, and fundraising activity.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
The year was a triumph for Arcangelo, with the successful realisation of our most ambitious programme to date of artistic output by combined scope, budget and reach. A total of eight projects encompassed repertoire from Buxtehude trio sonatas to Boccherini cello concertos and a Handel oratorio, with a total of 15 concerts (including seven venue/festival debuts) and eight supporter events in seven countries reaching a total live audience of 6,595 and hundreds of thousands more worldwide via three radio broadcasts and our growing discography of recordings on streaming services. We also created an unprecedented quantity of new recordings - six - including our first-ever dedicated studio film production, and launched the second cohort of our young artist programme, the Arcangelo New Ensemblists. From a charitable perspective, these achievements represent Arcangelo's most generous year to date in terms of creation of new performance material for audiences, opportunities and platform for participating musicians, and general enrichment of our artistic and cultural sector.
This success was matched (and enabled) by equivalent growth in the achievements of our organisational base, notably in fundraising, but also around governance and operations. We raised a total of over £220,000 from individual giving across our core and recording fundraising appeals, with our relaunched Friends scheme, associated events programme, and new online giving tools securing welcome growth in new donors (24 first-time donors), and in repeat giving commitments by standing order, with a doubling in the number of donors setting up this facility. The year also saw a welcome return to diversified funding through Trusts & Foundations, following the recruitment at the end of last year of a new Trust & Foundations assistant to drive progress in this area. Successful grant applications brought £18,000 of new funding into Arcangelo over the course of the year, with the prospect of more to come through ongoing prospecting and maintenance of T&F relationships.
This year's outstanding successes did not come at the expense of ongoing future planning, with substantial artistic progress made against future seasons, and the launch following extensive planning of a search for a new Chair of Trustees in succession to Rosalyn Wilkinson.
ARCANGELO
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023
Concerts
Our 2022-23 season opened with a debut appearance for Martin Randall Travel's Holidays with Music, presenting a programme of Haydn and Mozart at the MRT West Suffolk Festival of Sacred Music. This was the first of three festival debuts in July followed by the Festival Academy Budapest with soloists Barnabas Kelemen, Katalin Kokas and Jonian Ilias Kadesha (recorded and broadcast in February 2023 by Hungarian national radio ) and the Musicales du Luberon in France with soloists Carolyn Sampson and Christophe Dumaux, which was the subject of a TV news report by France 3.
Our December 2022 project, 'A Roman Baroque Christmas', was a welcome first realisation of our work over the past two years to develop attractive new artistic programming at longer range, in better co-ordination with sales activity, with the overall aim of securing at least 3 high quality concert engagements for each project within its 7-10 day period. This project was deliberately constructed to appeal to specialist promoters for their Christmas programming, with a rising star 'premium' soloist in recent BBC New Generation Artist Katharina Konradi, a box-office friendly festive programme led by Handel's Gloria (nevertheless rich in attractive lesser-known repertoire) and a small, relatively affordable Arcangelo ensemble. The approach worked, and we secured three closely-grouped concerts at Wigmore Hall, Musis Arnhem and Zentrum Paul Klee Bern, with the latter two being venue debuts. Katharina Konradi's indisposition due to health issues following the Wigmore Hall concert necessitated the last-minute deputization of Katharine Dain, who delivered the programme admirably despite only being able to join at the general rehearsal in Arnhem. This situation was a salutary reminder that the best-laid plans are subject to events.
In January 2023 we extracted what may have been the maximum possible from Arcangelo's project model, over an 11-day period. Working with our core chamber ensemble of Sophie Gent, Georgia Browne and Thomas Dunford and Jonathan Manson alongside Jonathan Cohen, we rehearsed a programme of Buxtehude Trio Sonatas and Telemann Paris Quartets for two days before concerts at De Bijloke Ghent and a venue debut at London's innovative new music venue, Fidelio Café. The next two days saw the ensemble relocate to Trinity College Cambridge for the creation of our first-ever dedicated studio film project, featuring a performance of Telemann's Paris Quartet No.6 at the college's contemporaneous Wren Library, the first time this remarkable space has ever been featured on camera. With this wrapped, the ensemble moved to St Jude on the Hill in London for three days of audio recording sessions to complete its survey of the complete chamber music of Dietrich Buxtehude, for which the group was joined by violinist Tuomo Suni, bassist James Munro, and the University of Haifa musicologist Alon Schab, who worked with the group in session on a specially-commissioned reconstruction of a fragmentary sonata for presentation on the finished album. To complete the mini-odyssey, we delivered two days of academy sessions, and our first scheduled programme activity, with our 2nd cohort of Arcangelo New Ensemblists (see below).
February saw an innovative co-production with Finnish Baroque Orchestra, with an Arcangelo choir and our New Ensemblists travelling to Helsinki for a shared performance of Bach's St John Passion at the splendid new Musiikkitalo. This was a one-off venture inspired by a special collaborative project instigated by FIBO, which nevertheless offered a very rewarding proof of a "stage-sharing" concept which could profitably be investigated again in the future. The performance was broadcast on Finnish National Radio, and relayed via BBC Radio 3, in April 2023.
March and April brought the season's flagship project, and a milestone project for Arcangelo, with two concert performances and a seven-day studio recording of Handel's 'Theodora' funded by our largest-ever public fundraising appeal (see Financials and Fundraising below). The Barbican concert (another venue debut) which opened the project was an especially enjoyable occasion. A reinstatement of our first Covid casualty concert in April 2020, which was originally also due to have been our official 10th birthday celebration, the concert was preceded by a well-attended and lavishly-catered reception in the Barbican Fountain Room, and followed by a swathe of rave reviews from almost every current mainstream organ. The substance of the reviews indicated not only a critical consensus around Arcangelo's authority over Theodora in the concert domain, but also ("period powerhouse Arcangelo" - the Guardian; "Jonathan Cohen… so often imbues Handel with thoughtful loveliness" - The Times) around Arcangelo's maturing status as a front-rank ensemble.
In May, we recorded the second volume of our three-album survey of Boccherini's cello concertos with Nicolas Altstaedt, a welcome resumption of a project commenced in April 2021 and which is scheduled for completion in studio in February 2024.
ARCANGELO
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023
Finally, in June, we delivered another combined concert-recording project with a first-time investigation of Handel's Chandos Anthems, creating the first authentically-scaled performances on record of this unusual and rarely-performed music and making a welcome debut at the Midsummer Festival at Hardelot near Boulogne in France following our end-of-season concert at Wigmore Hall.
Recordings
Following last year's considered rest, 2022-23 saw six new productions including our first film production plentifully re-stocking our pipeline of future releases and contenders for critical acclaim and awards.
Buxtehude: "Opus Posthumous" (Alpha Classics) - recorded January 2023
This album completes our journey through the chamber music of Dietrich Buxtehude following the release of Vol.1 in 2016 and Vol.2 in 2021. Our recording improves on previous editions through the omission of a sonata since re-attributed, and the innovative inclusion of a reconstructed sonata left in continuo form only.
Telemann: Paris Quartet No.6 (self-promotion) - filmed January 2023
This project marked Arcangelo's first foray into dedicated studio film production, for which we chose a quintessential work of Baroque chamber music with which to showcase our core chamber ensemble working closely with Jonathan Cohen as an equal performer. To ensure a quality consistent with our audio output, we worked with the same audio team as our Hyperion discography, and identified RPS "Trailblazer" director Andy Staples to lead the visual concept and execution. The film will be released free to view on YouTube in September 2023.
Various: "Baroque" with soloist Milos Karadaglic (Sony Classics) - recorded February 2023
This project was an external commission at the invitation of Sony Classics and Milos Karadaglic. The album marks Milos's first foray into the Baroque repertoire and is expected to win widespread attention and audience on scheduled release in October 2023. Arcangelo is also engaged to present the UK concert tour of the album in January 2024, promoted by IMG concert artists agency, a welcome return to the "album release tour" model not enjoyed since our early recordings with Anna Prohaska on Deutsche Grammophon.
Handel: Theodora (Alpha Classics) - recorded April 2023
Our most-anticipated recording project to date, and one into which we took the most pre-loaded reputation following our BBC Proms performance in 2018 and subsequent critical hits at the Vienna Konzerthaus (2020), Barbican and DeSingel Antwerp (2023). Louise Alder, who has sung the title role for Arcangelo since our first performance of the work in 2018, returned to lead this significant new recording.
Boccherini: Cello Concertos with soloist Nicolas Alstaedt (Alpha Classics) - recorded May 2023
The continuation of this landmark project to make the first complete recording on period instruments and from fully authentic sources of Boccherini's solo concertos for his own instrument. Following discussions with Nicolas and Alpha Classics, this project will now be released as an complete edition box set following completion of the third and final volume in February 2024.
Handel: Chandos Anthems (selected; Alpha Classics) - recoded June 2023
This project saw us breaking new ground on our "English Baroque" pathway which has previously seen fruitful and critically-acclaimed recordings including odes by John Blow and cantatas by Porpora (Hyperion) and Handel's Brockes Passion (Alpha Classics). We selected four anthems for the recording which have not previously been recorded with forces authentically scaled to the works' original performance spaces at the Duke of Chandos's palace at Cannons in Middlesex.
One album was released in the year:
Vivaldi: "Sacroprofano" with soloist Tim Mead (Alphas Classics) - released February 2022.
ARCANGELO
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023
Recorded in Summer 2021, this album marked our first recital collaboration with Tim Mead, and Tim's debut solo recital album. The album won high critical approval across Europe, and has received some 90,000 streams on Spotify since release by 10,000 listeners worldwide.
Artist Development
2022-23 saw us welcome our second cohort of Arcangelo New Ensemblists for the first of their two years with us. Violinists Cristina Prats-Costa and Yaoré Talibart and cellist Madeleine Bouissou made their debut appearance as part of Arcangelo's season launch event at the Royal College of Music in October 2023 and proceeded to enjoy a wide range of opportunities over the course of the year, including two days of "academy" sessions working with mentors in a masterclass setting, two days of film sessions to create individual portfolio shorts, and involvement across multiple Arcangelo projects in the season, notably our 'Theodora' concerts and recording. All of these activities received increased support from our new team members Nathan Giorgetti (Assistant Producer) and Victoria Hodgkinson (Trusts & Foundations Assistant) including programme management and delivery, and also documentation and feedback.
The success of the first ANE cohort, and our careful documentation of its activities and outcomes, provided a strong evidential basis for our planned recommencement of Trust and Foundation applications following the appointment of new staff support in this area. We were delighted that our instincts as to the eligibility of the ANE scheme for Trust and Foundation support were confirmed, with successful grant awards in support of the 2022-24 cohort exceeding our initial target (see Financials and Fundraising below) and inspiring much confidence for our ongoing work to further develop the ANE scheme and its funding base.
We were delighted to welcome all three members of our first ANE cohort back to the ensemble for projects during the 2022-23 year, and to note the ongoing success of these musicians in their wider careers, including a prize for Sophia Prodanova at the Leipzig Bach Competition and a first solo recording project for Ismael Campanero, partially funded by his ANE Personal Development Fund award. Due to scheduling, the year also witness the graduation recital of the first ANE cohort at Wigmore Hall, featuring a programme of chamber works selected by Sophia Prodanova, Ismael Campanero and Sergio Bucheli, and performed with Jonathan Cohen.
Organisational / Governance
The major activity of the year from an organisational / governance perspective was the launch of a process to appoint a new Chair of Trustees to succeed Rosalyn Wilkinson. The process was the subject of intense and thorough preparatory discussions over the year, with Arcangelo's evolved artistic and organisational shape and planning horizon necessitating a refreshed view of the role requirements and person specification. Nurole were commissioned to lead the search for candidates; the role was published at the end of May 2023 with a deadline for applications of 21 June and planned succession for Q4 2023. The outcomes of this process will be presented in next year's report.
The board met for a Strategy Review in June 2023, as a preparatory step to refreshing the charity's Strategic Plan for the next four years, a process which will be taken forward in line with the appointment of the new Chair.
The board further strengthened Arcangelo's operational governance with the implementation of new policies for Trustee Simultaneous Roles, Anti Money-Laundering and Sanctions, Equality Diversity and Inclusion, and Safeguarding.
Financial position and fundraising
The charity's financial position remained healthy at the end of the year, with the overall net expenditure of £741 representing a strong achievement in a year of unprecedented artistic ambition and expense, especially in the recording studio, and unprecedently high fundraising goals across recording projects and core costs.
ARCANGELO
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023
Although recording appeals are inevitably a 'distraction' from the essential appeal for core costs, they have also historically offered a gateway to core cost support. In this respect, the large numbers of new donors who came to Arcangelo this year through recording appeals represent prospects for future development, and a priority for future seasons will be developing deeper relationships with these donors as opportunities present themselves. These efforts will be aided by the relaunched Friends Events scheme, improved online donation tools for giving, and strengthened staff resource around Friends and Events, which as noted above have already driven pleasing growth in this year in donations overall, and in annual renewable donations.
FUTURE PLANS
Having last year successfully advanced the horizon of our artistic programme development and related sales work, this year saw us maintain forward momentum with strong planning and development for future seasons. It was especially pleasing to be able to announce the full 2023-24 season ahead of the end of the year, something which Arcangelo has never been able to do previously, with an ambitious range of concert listings across venues old and new and including our most ambitious touring venture to date with a five-nation tour of South America in August 2023. We have also been able to make a significant start on planning for the 2024-25 season, and to place tentpole markers for priority projects beyond this season as far ahead as early 2028.
Our future planning momentum is assisted by a twofold tailwind: firstly Arcangelo's reputational growth through the consistent success of high profile concerts and recording, and secondly the strongly-growing professional and critical profile of Jonathan Cohen, boosted to unprecedented levels this year by his appointment as Artistic Director elect of the Handel + Haydn Society in Boston.
Working further ahead increases our chances of success. It is easier to secure promoter interest and provisional commitments at longer range where diaries are less crowded and expressions of interest from performers are not so numerous. This in turn enables an easier sales process, with additional sales supported by the ability to demonstrate that other promoters are already in the ring and the project is a going enterprise.
Another essential component of our sales engine is our network of appointed sales agents. We assess the value and output of these arrangements on an ongoing basis, and agreed during the year to part ways with Catherine Le Bris for France and Merlin Arts Management for Germany/Austria/Switzerland. The identification of new sales agency representation for G/A/S in particular will be a priority for the coming year. Our sales agents for Benelux (Brinks) and Iberia (Duetto) continued to deliver strongly for Arcangelo this year, with clear signs of increased delivery of concert opportunities and engagements.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
Arcangelo is a company limited by guarantee, without share capital, incorporated on 30 June 2010 and registered as a charity on 12 January 2011.
The company was established under a Memorandum of Association, which sets out the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed by its Articles of Association.
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
We endeavour to have a trustee group that offers the charity a varied skill set, since Arcangelo expects and needs practical help as well as governance from its board. We have used a variety of methods to identify and attract trustees, including the Arts and Business Board Bank, Nurole, peer and sector recommendations, and individual-based approaches. Potential trustees are interviewed by several existing trustees to ensure a fit, and their appointment is agreed by a majority of the directors.
Organisational structure and governance
The company is managed and administered on a day-to-day basis by its General Manager, with reference to an agreed Schedule of Authorities and Delegations. The General Manager confers regularly with the Artistic Director and reports regularly to the Chair of the Trustees. The Board of Trustees meets quarterly to review the activities of the company; Finance and Development sub-committees also meet quarterly to review these areas ahead of full board meetings and to provide targeted support and insight across the year.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. Any incoming resources received in an accounting period that relate exclusively to future years are deferred on the balance sheet.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes, such as for example a specfic recording.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid at the year end after taking account of any discount due.
Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any discounts due.
