Ensemble Reza had a transformative year in 2020-2021. To survive the Covid pandemic, all our programmes became virtual. Despite being a small charity, we were suddenly reaching new audiences all over the world.
In 12-months we:
-
Ran over 50 live streamed concerts, which had over 18,870 views on our YouTube channel
-
Engaged over 48 musicians (including the Ensemble Reza sextet) to perform in our live stream concert series
-
Created 50 films for schools including mainstream and special needs schools from primary to sixth form
-
Set up a virtual Community Orchestra on Zoom for 75 players aged 9-85 years run by 11 professional musicians
-
Created a Zoom music club, and ran 21 fortnightly sessions
-
Engaged Stephen Fry to narrate a poem for one of our virtual concerts
At the beginning of lockdown we created a YouTube channel. In this 12-month period our channel had:
-
47,230 views
-
4.6k hours of watch time
-
892 subscribers
-
We know our channel was viewed by participants across the world, including Greece, France, Spain, USA, Cyprus, Switzerland, Cuba, South Korea and Malta.
Midday Music Concerts
This weekly series of concerts, created at the end of March 2020, was the start of our virtual journey. It helped to reduce loneliness and isolation, especially among older people during lock down and in some cases brought families together . Our streamed concerts included a chat option, and each week we could see friends and families and whole school classes joining together from across the UK and world to listen to music. Many people emailed to say the series gave their week structure, and was something to look forward to.
The series was also a lifeline for our musicians, who were able to continue earning from their homes, and added a new creative challenge of how to successfully live stream. With additional funding we were able to purchase a laptop and recording equipment to help improve the sound.
Feedback from our audience:
‘Music is very important to many of us especially now, but live music just lifts our spirits… such a special ensemble. Thanks to all. You keep us all going .... until the next fix!’
‘Music transports us to a better place. Thank you all so much. You are a real treasure in these bleak times sheltering at home … Wow, what a performance. Words cannot tell how much it meant to hear LIVE music. Stunning. Tell your sponsors it means so much for our mental wellbeing.’ Milly
‘ We are both really enjoying the Midday music concerts, especially as Mum has to isolate! So, I cycle over and we watch and listen together on either side of her glass patio doors. Thank you Ensemble Reza for giving us a concert which we can go to "together". Carol and Jean.
‘Touched to the core!!! and dancing we were!!’
‘The best thing to have come out of lockdown!’
‘I have never really listened to classical music in the past, but I am really enjoying these concerts. Thank you’
‘The passion is incredible.’ ‘Sitting here mesmerized’
‘These lunchtime concerts have been very helpful for us musicians to feel valued and keep our motivation. Also,they have given us a chance to continue earning money using our skills, training and passion for performing live music.’ Lucy (Reza violinist)
Evening Concerts
During the year, all our evening concerts with a live seated audience were cancelled. With the support from the Arts Council Emergency Fund, we ran a ticketed evening concert featuring Schoenberg’s Verklärte Nacht. Stephen Fry kindly agreed to record and narrate the poem, Transfigured Night by Richard Dehmel, and this additional publicity helped make this a successful event.
Feedback from our audience:
‘The superb quality of the performances; the excellent recording control which allowed us to revel in the outstanding acoustic of the venue; the equally excellent visual direction - and the choice of music.’
‘Everything! Content, quality of sound and musicianship, presentation and ambience.’ ‘Everything! Seriously professional musicians, beautifully presented in the church, always love the chat that Ensemble Reza do which enhances the experience. The sound was amazing, great acoustics in the church (although a couple of times it blipped - I think because of internet connections and we live in Florida).’
‘It was great to see the players in live time, in the church setting and thus feel more a part of the event. We enjoyed the Schöenberg much more than I expected to!’
‘The music (of course!). The comments from the performers and the obvious rapport between the players - their enjoyment is infectious! The lighting, sound and camera work was very professional - the way the camera switched between the whole group and individual players when appropriate was worthy of the BBC! The narration by Stephen Fry was very moving.’
Christmas Advent Calendar
To lift spirits in December, we created an online advent calendar featuring not only short festive pieces performed by Ensemble Reza, but also featuring some of the visiting artists who had taken part in our Midday Music series throughout the year. We also featured some of the groups we had worked with including our own community orchestra and students from Ingfield Manor School. In total the calendar received over 6500 views.
Reza Community Orchestra
Running the Reza Community Orchestra during lockdown was a challenge. We created YouTube backing tracks and tutor films to encourage our members to continue to practice and work on technique. By January 2021 we decided to create a Zoom community orchestra, which attracted over 75 musicians from 9-85 years, including participants from all over the UK and abroad, including Israel and France.
We quickly realised that not only was the music important, but also the wellbeing of our orchestra members, who were keen to meet in small groups (despite being on Zoom) and make music together.
Feedback from participants:
‘I've only been to one rehearsal session so far but I feel so much better for it: it's a very welcome break from daily working life and it's made me feel that I deserve to spend some time every day
playing music without feeling guilty about it.
‘Honestly, I don’t think I have ever been so low in all my life as I have been during this second lockdown. I regard myself as a positive person. Working from home while my son home schools and my husband teaches key workers and caring for my elderly mum has been tough. I’m much less active than normal and much less sociable. Honestly, joining Reza and having the chance to play with others and think about music has added a whole new positive dimension to my life. The ability to connect effortlessly with so much energy, positivity and talent is hugely inspiring. Thank you Reza for saving the day!’
‘I love what people like you are doing for community music and to give us such a great treat in Lockdown to look forward to and thank you for giving me the confidence to join my local Saturday orchestra too. There is nothing like making music together. Thank you thank you thank you!!!’
‘This was the first time I have participated in a Zoom 'ensemble' session and it exceeded my expectations. It was great fun, and it was stretching without feeling at all threatening. I'm sure it will improve my ability to play in an ensemble, whether chamber or orchestral music.’
‘It was our first session with the Community Orchestra, and it was a great opportunity to work on technique, and lots of fun too. My daughter (aged 10) and I very much enjoyed it. I haven't played my clarinet in any groups/orchestras for a number of years, and it was the first experience for my daughter. Very much looking forward to being able to play with the orchestra when we can meet in person.’
‘Great to be playing again with others from the orchestra. Great to have a reason to practice. Zoom is much harder than being in the room but Caroline has made it welcoming and relaxed. Being part of a music community again, collaboration and receiving tuition/learning. A fantastic distraction from work and the pandemic! And just the incentive I needed to pick up my instrument again and get practicing.’
Music Club:
The Ensemble Reza Music Club encouraged music lovers of all ages (from 10-80 years) to come together, not only to share their favourite works (from any genre), but also the story behind their choices. Led by an Ensemble Reza musician or guest, topics included inspirational music to help lift the mood in lockdown, music by female composers, messages in music, music and film, Cuban music, music by young composers, the concertos never written and more.
Membership varied from 15-30 members from 10 to 85 years, from our local community and also further afield including Devon and France. During this period over 420 people joined music club.
Feedback from participants:
‘Another very enjoyable session of the Ensemble Reza Music Club! It gets better each week as we are getting to know each other - a good range of ages (10 to 80 years!) and an eclectic mix of genres!’
‘Although I don't know an awful lot about music, I do know that I couldn't live without it in my life and this might be a real opportunity to learn more’ Val
Education Work:
Despite the pandemic, we were able to continue our work in schools, albeit virtually. To replace concerts that were planned, films introducing the different instrument families from the orchestra were created including wind, brass and percussion. These films in total had 775 YouTube views and remain on our channel.
‘ Having access to scores and accompanying recordings has kept the music alive and meant that all of our music students, from the beginners to our advanced players have stayed engaged and practising during the challenge of Lockdown.’ Carol MacTaggart, Head of Music at Oathall Community College
“ Hi - just thought you’d like to know I used Anna’s Great Cello Tango with KS1 this afternoon and it earned a spontaneous round of applause from the children!. Thank you!’ Cathy Primary Music Specialist
Ingfield SEND Project
We created a virtual project through Zoom and YouTube based on music and dances from around the world for Ingfield Manor School. This school project included a concert by the Ensemble Reza sextet, creative music making workshops for students, training and online resources for the teachers. Workshop leader Jason Rowland combined students creations, artwork and music by Ensemble Reza to create a film which remains available on our YouTube channel:
All students enjoyed taking part, and some of the older students described how this had made them feel happy, excited, proud. Several mentioned how they wanted to dance (which they did!). One student said the final piece had ‘knocked her socks off!’ and Rachel Sebastino (Head of Primary) mentioned that the project ‘has been a real boost during lockdown!’
2020: BHASVIC A’Level Project
For this project, students were encouraged to write a short ensemble piece for any combination of violin, cello, clarinet and percussion. The project started virtually, and later in the year we managed to culminate with a live performance. These initial sessions including films recorded by our musicians with basic information on how to write for their instruments to the more complex with specific stylistic techniques to consider and explore. During this period, we also ran online workshops, which were an opportunity to hear the start of the student compositions.
‘During this challenging time of remote learning, our A level Music students have benefitted hugely from the opportunity to compose for the brilliant Ensemble Reza musicians. They delivered an engaging online workshop full of practical ideas to help students write effective compositions. Our students are very excited about having their music performed by professional musicians and this has led to them striving for the very highest standards in their work. In a year where our student musicians have sorely missed practical music opportunities, this project has really lifted their spirits and given focus to their learning as well as providing an amazing musical opportunity.’ Jo Hatton Music Teacher at BHASVIC

| Explanation of any uncertainties about the charity continuing as a going concern |
Para 1.23 | In this period 2020-21 the Charity was successful in obtaining funding for its core activities. Trustees are satisfied that the Charity has been able to adapt to the current environment and continue to deliver its mission both online through its virtual concert series (Midday Music) and other education and community programmes. The amount in the bank on signing these accounts is £54,004. Conservative cash flow modelling indicates that the cash reserves of the Charity are adequate to meet its obligations as they fall due, providing additional funding is secured in the next 6 months. If funding is not successful, then some activities may have to be reduced until sufficient funding is sought. Accordingly the Trustees believe Ensemble Reza’s financial resources are sufficient to ensure it will continue as a going concern for theforeseeablefuture, being at least 12 |
months from the date of approval of the financial statements and have therefore prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.
