|Section D|Achievements andperformance|
|---|---|
|**Summary of the main**<br>**achievements of the charity**<br>**during the year**|The following activities and achievements have been realised:<br>Due to Covid 19, there were no rehearsals during the Summer term, from<br>April til August. As restrictions were relaxed, 5 “strings only” rehearsals<br>were held in September, and these were live streamed for brass and<br>woodwind players and any other players not able to attend in person.<br>Heavier restrictions were then enforced so that no more live rehearsals<br>were possible. However, live streamed rehearsals were then sent out<br>twice weekly, from November to early December, with the M.D. conducting<br>from home and sophisticated backing tracks used. About 40 players<br>continued in this way, with music being posted or delivered by willing<br>volunteers. A virtual concert was held in this way at Christmas, with<br>players sending in recordings of themselves playing 1 piece, and<br>photographs of themselves. This enabled players to feel that they were<br>still playing together.<br>This system of live streaming was continued right through til early July,<br>with new packs of music being sent out in January and April.<br>As before, light music was chosen from all different spheres of music to<br>suit all tastes and to encourage players to improve their playing.<br>Excerpts and arrangements from classics eg Beethoven's 5th Symphony,<br>Mozart's Linz Symphony and Schubert’s Unfinished Symphony were<br>attempted with great enthusiasm.<br>Sadly no public concerts were given during this time, but players were<br>encouraged to invite their family members to play along or be an in house<br>audience for the end of term live stream sessions.|
