The basic arrangements for the Stile Antico Foundation (SAF) are unchanged from those outlined in previous years’ reports. The Foundation supports the charitable activities of the Renaissance choral singing Group _Stile Antico_ (‘the Group’) _,_ but also allows support for similar groups and soloists in the very early stage of their careers. The Group’s objectives are to bring the Renaissance choral music repertoire to new audiences by means of innovative programming and a performance style almost unique to _Stile Antico,_ which sings one-to-a-part and without a conductor. This offers a uniquely intense musical experience to audiences, enhanced by creating new ways to present the music and thus engage with wider audiences new to the repertoire.
To achieve these objectives, the SAF Trustees work closely with members of the Group, some of whom attend Trustees’ meetings. By this means the Group shares information with Trustees about current and future projects, and Trustees offer guidance and help wherever their expertise allows them to do so. In deciding to offer financial support, Trustees always have the charitable purpose of each project as the major criterion for agreeing a grant at the forefront of their minds.
A Business Plan for SAF was drawn up when it commenced operations in 2014, and this has been regularly reviewed and updated since that time in line with changing economic circumstances. In particular this has led Trustees strongly to support the Group’s search for wider sources of funds, such as Arts Council England and other relevant providers.
A considerable matter for Trustees’ attention was Governance issues. As reported previously, a great effort was devoted to satisfying the requirements of the GDPR and Safeguarding and Protection Directive, and a series of revised documents and procedures were approved. All Governance documents and procedures are reviewed annually to ensure that they continue to be fit for purpose and to monitor compliance.
After 10 years as Chair, Stefan Paetke handed the Chair position over to Christophe Kasolowsky in January 2024. Emma Adlard stood down as a Trustee at the end of the 22/23 financial year, and Natalie Docherty joined as a Trustee from January 2024.

**Commission on public**
**benefit)**|To advance, improve, develop and maintain public appreciation of the
music performed by choral groups specialising in the Renaissance
repertoire. This is achieved by funding performances and concerts by
choral groups, including principally but not exclusively by_Stile Antico,_as
well as education workshops and projects designed to promote
appreciation of choral music at little or no cost to participants. SAF’s
commitment to supporting the development of new programmes has
been enhanced by providing funds to contemporary composers to write
pieces for incorporating into_Stile Antico’s_programmes so that modern
interpretations of common themes sit alongside those written by
composers such as William Byrd. During 2023-24 SAF’s support has
enhanced its charitable purposes through the recording of new
programmes on CDs, via a variety of outreach activities, and performing
newprogrammes around and outside of the UK.|
||**Palestrina Commission**
In October 2023, SAF committed a grant of £3,250 towards a
commission to celebrate the Group's 20th Anniversary.
The Group has a well-established tradition of commissioning
contemporary composers to create new works for their programmes. This
latest commission will form part of a new programme created to
accompany the Group’s Decca release of the music of Giovanni Pierluigi
da Palestrina, titled_‘The Prince of Music’_. In addition to exploring the
legacy of Palestrina’s work, the Group aims to broaden its listening
audience and deepen engagement with its performances by expanding
the repertoire to include this new commission.
In addition to the commission, the Group plans to incorporate an
educational component around this new commission. Music students,
ranging from A-Level to conservatoire level, will be invited to attend
rehearsals of the new work.
Final payments and performances of the new commission will take place
in 2024-25 and be covered in next year’s report.
**Vivanco Editions by Gareth Thomas**
On 7 December 2022 Stile Antico performed a concert of Vivanco and
Byrd in Sacra Capilla de El Salvador in Ubeda, a UNESCO World
Heritage Site in Andalusia as part of the Ubeda and Baeza Festival of
Early Music. Much of Vivanco’s work has either remained unpublished, or
has only recently been published, so there is strong reason to believe
that several of the pieces performed may not have been heard for several
centuries.
SAF provided a grant of £750 which enabled the group to engage Gareth
Thomas to produce new editions of several of Vivanco’s works, purchase
recently constructed editions from the Spanish musicologist Jorge Martin,
and also pay for rehearsals to learn these new pieces.|
**TAR**
March **2012**

The concert was sold out and was filmed for the CNDM (Spanish Ministry of Culture and Sports) archive. Two officials from CNDM were at the concert and were delighted with the performance and the group are looking to continue to include Vivanco’s music in future programmes. **Recording of Jοanna Marsh Commission** The Foundation supported the group in a three-hour recording session, recording _Dialogo and Quodlibet_ in a central London church. The track will be part of a complete disc of works by Joanna Marsh, including tracks recorded by I Fagiolini, the BBC Singers and the Liverpool Philharmonic. SAF provided a grant of £1,000 to contribute towards a proportion of the singer’s fees and travel costs. Collaborating with Joanna Marsh—a rapidly rising composer—alongside the renowned BBC Singers, I Fagiolini, and ORA Singers, offers an exciting opportunity for the group to reach new audiences while contributing to a project that champions contemporary choral works both in the UK and internationally. The CD is set to be released on 31st January 2025. **Green Fund** Due to their international audience, the group frequently travel to perform concerts. SAF has set-up an annual fund for the group to support greener travel options, and reduce the group’s environmental footprint. During the 2023/24 year, the green fund supported the group travelling to Utrecht, August 2023 with a grant of £1,260. This allowed the group to choose the option of taking the train rather than a flight. **Divine Hope** In January 2024, Stile Antico rehearsed its new programme, A Divine Hope, based on the story of Dante’s _Divine Comedy._ The group performed the programme in performances across the UK, USA and France. The Stile Antico Foundation, alongside its grant of £6,000 to help fund rehearsal costs for this new programme, also generously agreed to fund a Lecture-Recital with a grant of £1,332.52 to launch the programme and to explore the themes with invited academics, with informal performances of some of the music from the programme. The event gave an opportunity for friends and patrons, and the group’s other guests, to gain understanding of the literary, historical and musical context of Dante and his work, as well as a chance for Stile Antico to perform some of the music as a dry-run ahead of the first full concert performance in Warwick. An audience of around 50 Friends and Patrons and other invited guests assembled in St Peter’s, Eaton Square on 28[th] January. Invited earlycareer academics Joseph Gascoigne from the University of York spoke on the theme of hope, and Dr Lachlan Hughes from Durham University spoke on the musical afterlife of Dante’s Commedia. The event was followed with a drink's reception for the invited audience, academics and members of the group to network.
## **Conducting Workshop**
On Saturday 13 January 2024 eleven members of Stile Antico were tutored in the art of conducting by Aidan Oliver, formerly Organist of St Margaret’s, Westminster, and currently Glyndebourne Chorus Master.
The workshop was held at St Botolph’s without Bishopsgate and the day was divided into two three-hour sessions. In the first session each member of the group conducted their colleagues in a work chosen from
**TAR**

repertoire to be used in future Come and Sing and outreach events, such as the Festival at Gresham’s School this summer. Each member received guidance from Aidan and learned about what works best when wanting to communicate the way a piece could be performed. In the second session the piece from the morning were revisited, and the group were joined by eleven volunteers from amongst the Friends who bolstered the members of the group in order to give more of a feeling of conducting a larger, amateur ensemble. Friends had come from as far away as Bath, and even Belgium in order to take part. It was noticeable how much the members had improved over the course of the day and gave the opportunity to put into practice the notes and suggestions given by Aidan.
SAF provided a grant of £2505.95 to cover travel, venue hire and the fees for Aidan and the Singers. The group all feel much better equipped to conduct a group of amateurs and five members were able to put what they had learnt into practice at the next Come and Sing in Oxford on 2nd March.
## **Rodolfus**
Stile Antico collaborated with the Rodolfus Choir on a 3-day course for young singers, with members of Stile Antico as tutors, over the weekend of 31 March to 2 April 2023. Around 30 singers attended the course, ranging in age from 16-22, and the course was free of charge for them to attend. The course culminated in a very well-attended public concert performance of the music worked on over the weekend in Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford, comprising full choir items, performances from each small group as well as a few pieces from the group’s ‘England’s Nightingale’ programme performed by 6 members of Stile Antico. Whilst the activity took place prior to 9[th] April 2023, the payment of £1500 was made by SAF during the 2023-24 financial year.
## **Come and Sing (Temple Church)**
On 1 July 2023, the Group ran a ‘Come and Sing’ event at Temple Church, London. The Foundation supported a contribution of £1640 towards the singers’ fees, organist fees and conductor’s fee for the session.
Come and Sing events garner popularity due to their inclusivity across ages and appeal to both enthusiasts of the Group’s music and amateur singers eager to enhance their skills while exploring new repertoire. At this event the Group’s worked with over 50 singers and the participants performed an evensong at the Church following the session to enhance the experience. A large number said they really enjoyed the challenge of rapidly learning and performing some challenging pieces.
## **Bursaries for Young Singers**
SAF has funded bursaries for young singers since 2014. The scheme was improved following feedback from previous participants, and its scope extended to offer an award to a choral ensemble at the start of their career. Regrettably, the Group could not identify a suitable choral ensemble for the 2022-2023 & 2023-2024 awards. Consequently, the allocated funds have been retained by SAF to be used in the next year.
## **Byrd Concert and Outreach Project**
Stile Antico received a grant from Arts Council England of £28,636, to fund a programme of outreach events in collaboration with Horizon Voices, to celebrate Byrd’s anniversary year.
**TAR**
March **2012**

Horizon Voices is a professional vocal ensemble seeking to broaden musical horizons through a programme of education workshops, outreach projects and interactive performance.
SAF provided a grant, split across the following projects:
## **Byrd (English Nightingale)**
Following a series of rehearsals, the group performed a programme of Byrd across the UK, and in the USA, most notably in Boston and New York. The group performed the programme at the Temple Church in June 2023 and the BBC Proms in London-Derry in July 2023. The programme was very well received and SAF provided a grant of £6000 to support this project.
## **Come and Sing March 2023**
The Byrd Come and Sing Event took place on 11[th] March at University Church, Oxford, as the final event in the Oxford residency. In the afternoon the group rehearsed music by Byrd, including movements from the multi-part Great Service, culminating in an evensong performance. Andrew Griffiths was the conductor and four other members of Stile Antico sang alongside the participants, together with four singers from the Stile Antico Youth Consort 2022 cohort. The vicar of the church, Rev Dr Will Lamb, kindly agreed to put on and fund a celebratory drinks reception afterwards to mark the end of the group’s residency at the church.
SAF provided a grant of £500 to cover the deficit created by expenditure on musician’s fees, travel, publicity, music costs and fees to the church.
## **Kerry Andrew Commission**
SAF provided a grant to commission a piece by the English composer, Kerry Andrew. The composition was called ‘Reasons to Sing’ and was written with a part for school choir and professional mixed choir.
Kerry Andrew has completed her composition ‘Reasons to Sing’ with a part for school choir and professional mixed choir as per the remit. Both Horizon Voices and Stile Antico are pleased with the resulting piece. The commission agreement has been signed by SAF and the composer, and the payment has been made by SAF to Kerry Andrew, in two equal instalments of £1,250.
## **Youth Consort**
As is now an annual event, SAF ran the Stile Antico Youth Consort, which involves the opportunity for 24 young singers, between the ages of 16-22 to form a consort and receive training and performance opportunities with the group.
For 2023 the Youth Consort formed part of the Byrd project rather than being a standalone event. The donation from SAF was used in part for bursaries, meaning that singers who would not otherwise be able to gain the experience of the youth consort, were able to participate. SAF contributes an annual grant of up to £1200 to cover the cost of these bursaries, but in this case the full amount was contributed to the overarching Byrd project.
## **Educational Project with Horizon Voices**
The group, alongside Horizon Voices, hosted educational workshops across two cities, firstly in Birmingham (November 2023) and then in
**TAR**
March **2012**

Newcastle (February 2024). Horizon Voices worked with two state schools in each city. They engaged with up to 120 11-13 year olds in each school, encouraging them to sing for their own physical and mental wellbeing, teaching them about William Byrd and Tudor times, and preparing them to perform Kerry Andrew’s new work ‘Oh, Sing’. Work with the schools in each city culminated in family concerts given by the group, at which the students would have the opportunity to perform the Kerry Andrew piece with the group. The Birmingham concert on 8[th] November was attended by an audience of 40, who were very appreciative and enjoyed the participatory nature of the concert. The family concert in Newcastle Cathedral on 8th March was very well attended by both school groups, and by other members of the public, with an audience of about 140 people. The students sang (and performed the body percussion parts) extremely enthusiastically and it was a really positive and uplifting experience. The third part of the educational project took place in two schools in Leeds, culminating in a Family Concert in Howard Assembly Room (Opera North) on 2[nd] April.
## **Workshops**
The group organised a series of workshops as part of the Byrd project. The first was a Come & Sing style event with evensong in September 2023, focussing solely on Byrd and organised in conjunction with St David’s Cathedral, Pembrokeshire, the day after our Byrd performance in the cathedral. This was well-attended by local amateur singers, with the girl choristers from the cathedral and some lay clerks joining too, along with four members of Stile Antico. SAF granted £600 towards this workshop.
The second workshop, in Newcastle on 9[th] March 2024, was organised in conjunction with Dr Katherine Butler, associate professor of music history at Northumbria University, who was instrumental in coordinating the Newcastle side of the education project. This free workshop was aimed at 16-22 year olds, the idea being to do a mini Youth Consort, distilled into one 3-hour session. 14 young singers, mostly students from Newcastle and Durham universities and one or two from local sixth forms, signed up to take part. Unfortunately, due to people dropping out beforehand, and illness on the day, there were only 7 singers in the end. They sang a wide range of Renaissance repertoire and Dr Butler gave some fascinating potted lectures about the music from the period. They even had a go at singing from original notation, and really enjoyed it. Similarly to the St David’s workshop, four Stile members received a fee of £150 each, so SAF provided a grant of £600.

## Section D Achievements and erformance p
The Foundation has developed its programme of grants in pursuit of its **Summary of the main** charitable objects as outlined in the paragraphs above describing how **achievements of the charity** funds were disbursed in the year. **during the year** During the 2023-24 period, support from donors and grantors has remained strong based on our clear objectives, strong governance, and delivery of high-quality charitable projects.
Upon completion of each funded project, Trustees receive a report from the Group which describes the activities undertaken, and comments on how well the objectives were achieved. Apart from occasions such as commissions to composers where an upfront payment is normal, funds are paid following receipt of such a report. The knowledge gained from this feedback has been used to modify and improve projects undertaken subsequently.
In January 2024, Natalie Docherty was appointed as the newest trustee. Natalie brings extensive experience and expertise of fundraising to the board, and has helped the foundation improve and evolve its fundraising strategy since joining the board.

**Section C Notes to the accounts (cont)**
## **Note 2 Accounting policies 2.2 INCOME**
**Recognition of income** These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when: the charity becomes entitled to the resources; it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless **Offsetting** required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102. Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income **Grants and donations** recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP). In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP). Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets **Legacies** in the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity or have been met. **Government grants** The charity has received government grants in the reporting period Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the **Tax reclaims on** donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that **donations and gifts** gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise. **Contractual income and** This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or **performance related** services or met the performance related conditions. **grants** Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be **Donated goods** exchanged) unless impractical to do so. The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt. In the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an expense at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution. Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance sheet. On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading activities' and the proceeds from sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading activities'.
Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets and included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable.
Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations when receivable.
**Donated services and** Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of **facilities** the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably.
Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as

income with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the SOFA.
The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs.
## **Support costs**
The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is **Volunteer help** described in the trustees’ annual report.
**Income from interest,** This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable **royalties and dividends** can be measured reliably.
**Income from membership** Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in Donations **subscriptions** and Legacies.
Membership subscriptions which gives a member the right to buy services or other benefits are recognised as income earned from the provision of goods and services as income from charitable activities.
Insurance claims are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition **Settlement of insurance** criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP) and are included as an item of other **claims** income in the SoFA.
This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments and **Investment gains and** any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the **losses** year.
## **2.3 EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES**
Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.
## **Liability recognition**
**Governance and support** Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support. **costs** Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice.
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, eg allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.
**Grants with performance** Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of **conditions** service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output.
**Grants payable without** Where there are no conditions attaching to the grant that enables the donor charity to **performance conditions** realistically avoid the commitment, a liability for the full funding obligation must be recognised.
The charity made no redundancy payments during the reporting period.
## **Redundancy cost**
**Deferred income** No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts.
The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts
## **Creditors**
A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date
## **Provisions for liabilities**
The charity accounts for basic financial instruments on initial recognition as per **Basic financial** paragraph 10.7 FRS102 SORP. Subsequent measurement is as per paragraphs 11.17 **instruments** to 11.19, FRS102 SORP.
## **2.4 ASSETS**
**Tangible fixed assets for** These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least **use by charity**
They are valued at cost.

**Responsibilities and** As the charity trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the **basis of report** accounts in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
**Independent** I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have **examiner's statement** come to my attention (other than that disclosed below *) in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect,:
- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Act; or
- the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
- the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
