## **Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Ensemble Reza Charitable Incorporated Organisation (‘the CIO’)** I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the CIO for the year ended 31 March 2023. ## **Responsibilities and basis of report** As the charity trustees of the CIO you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’). I report in respect of my examination of the CIO’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 examiner’s statement** I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the CIO as required by section 130 of the Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 3. the accounts do 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.

appropriate heading in the SOFA.
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,

This financial year started with the sudden passing of our founding member, violinist, and muchloved friend, Andrew Thurgood. This was devasting not only for the group, but also for our local community and had a long-lasting impact throughout the year as the group adapted to a different dynamic. In the second half of the year, we started working with violinist Adam Barker who, like Andrew, is keen to be involved in community / education and concert programmes. This relationship is developing well. Our programme of work in this year followed our trajectory of growth and in 12-months we ran: - 74 live concerts, compared with 43 in the previous year. - 11 Community Orchestra sessions for players of all ages and abilities. - an extensive education programme reaching 7850 young people, 450 teachers in 48 schools (including SEN schools). Through our programme of work, we aim to unlock the musician in us all, enriching lives, wellbeing, strengthening communities, educating and inspiring audiences/performers of all ages, changing lives through music. In reference to The New Economics Foundation, Five Ways of Wellbeing, and from the feedback we have received our work: - Connects people – helping to enrich their day. - Encourages people to be active – to leave the house to walk, cycle or catch the bus to a concert or workshop. - Helps people to take notice, reflect & enjoy the things that matter to them. - Encourages audiences/participants to keep learning, increasing confidence, self-esteem whilst having fun. - Provides an opportunity for audiences/participants to experience the joy of giving something back, either through volunteering, or simply sharing a lift or baking a cake for an event. ## **Free Live Lunchtime concerts.** During this period, we ran 29 free concerts in a mix of community venues, including the familiar Haywards Heath Methodist Church (where our series of free lunchtime concerts started in 2003) to community venues in Crawley, including pubs, coffee shops, Broadfield Community Centre and Broadfield Festival and Crawley Open House (Homeless Shelter in Crawley). ## **Audience Feedback:** _‘A wonderful service to the community – How amazing to have such skilled musicians performing here in our own estate! Thank you so much’._ _‘I am grateful for your passion and drive to create opportunities for a wider audience to hear and appreciate live classical music.’_ Viv Evans, Community Centre Development Worker, Broadfield, Crawley ‘There is no real price for putting a smile on peoples’ faces but this is what you exactly did! It was one of our most well attended classes. I spoke to several clients after the concert, and they all said how they greatly enjoyed it.’ Malcolm Nicholas Head of Operations, Crawley Open House _‘Good to see a toddler dancing to Bach! Other toddlers entranced. Enjoyed the meaty/earthiness of the Kodaly piece.’_ 'I loved having LIVE MUSIC in our neighbourhood and the mix of classical and jazz. Good communication from the musicians. Joyful. The range of ages/cultures in the audience. My husband has Alzheimer’s and he loved it. Thank you.' ## **Evening Concerts April-March 23** During this period, we ran 10 evening concerts and ticket sales remained good with either events selling out or reaching our expected allocation. During the year, Ensemble Reza became Associate Artists at the Hawth Theatre and Hub Partners to West Sussex Music. Both partnerships provided new opportunities, with a programme of school concerts in the Summer of 2022 and a regular concert series which started at the Hawth Theatre in September 2022. We were thrilled to welcome Dame Judi Dench to our Hawth concert in October 2022, who had a very enjoyable evening: _‘An absolutely extraordinary concert. Fabulous. I felt so included.’_ Dame Judy Dench ## **Feedback from our audience:** _‘The expert music, the obvious joy on the musicians faces and their rapport with each other. It was beautiful to both watch and listen to.’_ _‘The quality of the musicianship, the atmosphere which created a fantastic feel-good factor.’_ _‘I sat with a smile on my face, a tap in my feet, a dance in my heart and the oxytocin flowing the whole time! Thank you so much. Just what I needed. Hope you can record all this on a CD. Wonderful evening!’_ _‘Apart from the quality of the music, the informality - whilst all was of the highest standard, the atmosphere was relaxed and respectful.’_ _‘It is wonderful to listen to & hear live music played with such excellence, style and animation. The Hawth studio provides a lovely intimate space to enjoy the music.’_ _‘Such talented and engaging musicians, brilliant arrangements, a great programme of short pieces. I smiled through the whole concert.’_ _‘Stunning playing, beautiful music & how lucky are we to have such excellence on our doorstep. Candlelit Evening Concerts November 2021.’_ _‘Unexpectedness of thoroughly enjoying and being engaged with a Beethoven piece I didn't know. Thank you.’_ Following the success of last year, we again ran two Candlelit concerts (with different programmes) in venues in Cuckfield and at the Hawth Theatre in Crawley. As we were still rebuilding audiences after the pandemic, we handed out evaluation forms to our evening audience. Feedback from six concerts from audiences in Chichester, Kemsing, Crawley, Cuckfield and Lindfield was collected from 222 people. 100% agreed that they would recommend a Reza concert to a friend and 100 % agreed that they would attend a Reza concert in the future. ## **Christmas Advent Calendar December 2022** With the challenge of a tougher funding climate, we made our popular Christmas Advent Calendar a fundraising appeal. We reduced the appeal to the 12 Days of Christmas and raised over £9000 during this period from multiple donors. ## **Reza Community Orchestra April 22 - March 23** The Reza Community Orchestra continued to be one of our most exciting areas of work, bringing together musicians of all ages and abilities. Our new partnership at the Hawth Theatre saw us trial a rehearsal at the theatre with plans to develop a Crawley Community Orchestra in the future. ## **Feedback from participants:** - _Like the orchestra had opened up a hundred new doors for my future._ - _Stepped out of my comfort zone and loved it._ - _Extremely pleased I’d made the effort to come!_ - _Playing with the community orchestra always leaves me feeling inspired and also a little bit less stressed._ - _Great! I had a really fun time, I was nervous prior to coming but once there was delighted to meet similar adults to myself who hadn’t picked up the clarinet in a little while!_ - _Being a part of the orchestra and being led by the highly talented and enthusiastic Ensemble Reza. It was such a positive experience!_ - _The sense of togetherness_ - _Making music in a friendly group, and hopefully helping others the opportunity to do so too. It's great to be able to bring our daughter along to play in her first orchestra._ - • _Sense of achievement_ - _The buzz, the community aspect, the new friends I made and the music choices. Oh, and the professionals playing!_ ## **Music Club: 2 sessions** 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. These sessions were led by an Ensemble Reza musician. Membership varied from 15-30 members from 10 to 85 years, from our local community and further afield including Devon and France. ## **Jubilee Community Project** With funding awarded from Arts Council England administered through Sussex Community Foundation we ran our first Community Project combining school choirs, primary and secondary musicians, a local community choir for older people and our Community Orchestra. The aim of this project was to bring together participants from 8 years to 80+ years to celebrate this nationally historic moment by creating a Jubilee Song Cycle for choirs and our Community Orchestra. We achieved this and so much more. **This project was professionally filmed by Crawley Film Initiative and can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axtR3j9_mE4** ## **Education Work:** Education is core to the ethos of Ensemble Reza. With funding from Arts Council England - Project Grants, we spent six months in schools working with students, teachers, parents and audiences. On every part of this musical journey, we inspired students, raised the profile of music amongst students, schools and families; encouraged participants to challenge their creative boundaries and value the social benefits music making can provide. During this 6 month period we worked with 6947 young people, 406 teachers in 44 schools (including SEN schools). Working in schools we see the impact of years of underinvestment in the creative arts, which is sadly not improving. Very few primary schools have choirs, and few students are learning orchestral instruments. Colleges are being forced to drop ‘A’ Level music and some fear that music will become an ‘enrichment subject’. At the end of this period not only had students grown in confidence but our team had grown with new ideas and aspirations which they want to share and a thirst to continue this important work. **To see this work in pictures visit: https://youtu.be/RpMGoUE-4_I** ## **Feedback from Primary Schools** _‘My class were transfixed by the quality and exuberance of the playing as they went into the hall. I’ve been blown away by Reza. It’s unusual to hear music of this quality live in a school. The whole ensemble played with flair, warmth and technical perfection… It was a real testament to the power and quality of the performance that the vast majority of the SSC (Specialist Support Centre) children stayed for the whole time. The musicians were brilliant: friendly and accepting.’_ _**Chris Maidenbower Juniors, Crawley**_ _‘Wherever we have gone, the children have been thoroughly absorbed throughout and have all joined in enthusiastically, even if they may have been a little nervous to start with. Lots of them have said that they have been inspired to learn an instrument after our visits, which is the VERY best feedback we could wish for.’_ **Ensemble Reza MD Assistiant , Jen** _‘I cannot thank you and the team enough for coming … There was a real buzz in the room which flowed into the rest of the day. They were eager to talk all about reading music notes, playing instruments, listening and dancing to different types of music. The musicians were absolutely great with the children and we all had a wonderful morning, smiles all round! Thank you!’_ **Kim Holden, Teacher** ## **Student Feedback:** _‘I felt happy and excited. I enjoyed it so much. We listened really hard and loved it. It was so nice to see the instruments we had talked about in our class in real life.’_ _**Year 1 student** ‘I feel more enthusiastic about music and this motivates me to learn more instruments.’ ‘I was a bit scared at the start but now I feel great. I didn’t expect that! Amazing!’ ‘Unbelievable. Amazing. Brilliant. Awesome. Unreal.’_ _I felt inspired - I always enjoy partaking in Reza workshops._ _Very inspiring - I always love getting to play with the pros, and also getting them to play my music!_ ## **Feedback from Secondary Schools:** _‘What was special was seeing a lot of students stepping out of the comfort zone and willing to perform. Especially some of the year 9 students singing when they normally wouldn’t do this. There were a lot of small individual special moments as the students came together to make sure the primary student songs were performed. I will be looking at doing this type of workshop on a yearly basis as part of program to involve year 9 students and focus them on GCSE music as well as a way to connect and work with feeder schools’._ **Martijn van Galen, Head of Music at Oriel** _‘I think the atmosphere that was created provided the perfect environment for creativity to flourish. The leaders of this workshop were supportive and spoke to students in a way that empowered them to make bold decisions. There was a wonderful journey of how to create a song and the structure of the course worked well in this way. The final results of this workshop was very special for the students and excellent.’_ _**George Stewart, Head of Music**_ ## **Student Feedback** _‘I was already planning to do GCSE music but this has made me want to do it even more as I really enjoyed it.’_ _‘I learnt how to be confident in things I've written, how to write music and make my own songs and lyrics. It was inspiring, seeing them play.’_ ## **BHASVIC: Sixth Form Project** _‘Composing for Ensemble Reza’s professional musicians has been an amazing experience our A level Music students have hugely benefitted from. As well as being brilliant players who have brought our students’ compositions to life, the musicians have been great fun and an absolute joy to work with. Their feedback to our young composers has been both constructive and encouraging and has led to our students striving for the highest standards in their work.’_ Jo Hatton, Music Teacher, BHASVIC ## **Student Feedback** _‘I loved hearing the music that I’d composed online, to hearing it realised by professional musicians. I also enjoyed performing my composition with them, which was such a valuable and fantastic opportunity.’_ _‘I feel inspired, motivated.’_ _‘I feel really confident due to the musicians' friendliness and positive feedback.’_ ## **Ingfield Manor School: SEN Project** _‘Not just watching my son, but the whole performance was absolutely brilliant & SO moving. I cannot express my admiration towards this creative, magical process that Ensemble Reza offers. Thank you, beyond words. As a parent, this is an exceptional opportunity for the children to experience.’_ _‘Musicians showed such genuine interest in involving EVERY single student. A very enthusiastic and relaxed performance. Time taken with individuals throughout each piece to excite children and engage everyone. Beautiful music to compliment imaginative story & fabulous artistic creations.’_ _‘My son was clearly enjoying himself which was wonderful for us to see. He's had traumatic experiences of performing in the past. It was clear to us that you worked WITH the children and it wasn't something that was done TO them.’_ ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |Achievements against
