Achievements and Performance: SORP reference Para 1.20

Over the past decade, Ensemble Reza has established strong ties with the local community in Mid Sussex, and more recently, over the last five years, in Crawley. We have experienced music building and bringing communities together, and it is core to our ethos to ensure that everyone regardless of where they live, who they are, age, background, ethnicity and ability, should have equal access to live music and the opportunity to participate should they wish.

In this our tenth anniversary year we were thrilled to welcome Dame Judi Dench as our Patron. Dame Judi continues to regularly attend our Hawth Concerts and is always supportive of both our community and education programmes.

I’m a real fan of Ensemble Reza. The passion and virtuosity of the musicians is evident in every note they play and their shared sense of musicianship results in outstanding performances which leave audiences cheering for more!’ — Our Patron, Dame Judi Dench

This continued to be a busy year for Ensemble Reza. Our free community concerts helped us reach over 2464 people across Mid Sussex and Crawley. We ran forty-one free concerts in Haywards Heath and Crawley, including ten free afternoon concerts in a range of Crawley venues including Crawley Open House (homeless shelter), St Catherine’s Hospice, County Mall Shopping Centre and Broadfield Community Centre. We also ran two participatory music making programmes for over 151 musicians of all ages and abilities including our Community Orchestra in Haywards Heath and our Crawley Music Collective.

Our education programmes provide support and inspiration to students and teachers at every stage of their musical journey from reception to sixth form in both mainstream and special educational needs schools. During this period, we reached over 5452 students and 360 teachers and visiting 47 schools.

For a second year, our evaluation collected on our primary school tour visits showed the number of students learning an instrument to be worryingly low with only 2.7% of 2222 students asked learning a string instrument, 1.5% learning a brass instrument and 0.3% learning a wind instrument.

Our audiences at concerts also enjoy giving feedback and their comments are always positive and often moving. At our lunchtime concerts across Haywards Heath and Crawley, 100% of the audience we asked reported that having attended the concert their mood had improved compared with before the event.

Across all our work both in the community and in schools, we saw a positive impact on wellbeing, and this is supported by many other studies, including WHO regional office for Europe Fancourt, Daisy & Finn, Saoirse (2019) which concluded ‘engaging with the arts improves quality of life and supports our health and wellbeing.’

This year was particularly special as we celebrated ten years of Ensemble Reza. In the face of ongoing challenges, including the aftermath of the pandemic and the cost-of-living crisis, we’re especially proud to have delivered such a rich and diverse programme of work. Against the odds, we continue to grow, meeting the increasing demand for live music-making in both our schools and the wider community.

Hannah Carter, Managing Director May 2025.

Ensemble Reza Trustees Annual Report 2023-2024 Charity no 1158708

Education Report April 2023 - August 2024

~~CT~~ New Sound World concerts: Reaching 4300 students, 226 teachers from 19 schools

Our New Sound World concerts featured a new composition written by Reza musician Anna Cooper called 'Snow White and the Three Cool Dudes’. Students and teachers were quickly transported to a different world as soon as the music started. The use of props (wigs for a quick character change), feathers, scarves and stick helped to set the scene and students were completely mesmerised, many experiencing live music for the first time.

‘The children and staff were buzzing for the rest of the week from your amazing concert so thank you for everything!’ (Milton Mount)

‘Today was the best day ever!’ ‘A wonderful example of multi-sensory storytelling, an (Milton Mount student) engaging and high-quality arts experience for our ‘I want to learn to play an students, but also an inspiring piece of CPD for our instrument.’ (St Giles student) teachers.’ (Woodlands Meed, teacher)

~~CT~~ Music-Making Workshops: Reaching 781 students, 75 teachers from 13 schools

Following on from our school tours, our Music Making workshops allowed us to spend more time with two classes exploring the fundamentals of music – rhythm and melody in the context of South American music and dance. Starting with the mambo from Cuba, onto the Argentinian tango and finishing with a flourish, singing and dancing to the Brazilian samba.

‘I wish you could come in every week. So wonderful to expose the children to such high-quality music in such a fun, interactive way.’ (St Peter’s, teacher).

‘I have had fun and my face hurts from smiling.’ Waterfield students ‘When I was singing, I felt amazing. Everything came out of my mind and I had fun!’ ‘It made me feel happy and forget the bad things in life. Thank you.’ Seymour student

Ensemble Reza Trustees Annual Report 2023-2024 Charity no 1158708

Song-writing workshops: Reaching 44 students, 4 teachers from 2 schools

These workshops are designed to give students in years 9-10 the independence to create their own music, working and performing alongside three of our professional musicians. This year we included music technologist Nick Hill making the workshops accessible to non-instrumentalists, writing on Garage Band and Cubase.

‘I learnt how music can come from the smallest ideas and branched out in to a bigger idea, and also how working in a group can help to achieve that.’ St Paul’s Student

‘The workshop was both inspiring and liberating. It was heartening to hear so many students say that the workshop has inspired them to go onto write music independently and clearly fostered a sense of creativity and curiosity for compositions that might not have been lit so strongly had the provision of this workshop not been afforded to them.’ Head of Music, St Pauls

Transition Workshops: Reaching 223 students, 21 teachers from 10 schools

Responding to requests from teachers from primary, secondary and sixth form, these workshops were designed to help students not only experience the opportunities available to them as they progressed to their next school, but also for students of different ages to work and perform alongside each other and for teachers to share experiences and best practice.

‘Thank you for inviting us to the workshop, it certainly was beneficial to a lot of our students and some were excited for just being in such a grown-up educational place. Paul was brilliant, super engaging, super creative’ Music Teacher Oathall Community College

‘I felt a little braver singing in front of everyone knowing my brother (trumpet) was there’ Primary M id b d

‘It was inspiring for the children to be accompanied by professional musicians performing live, with the extra dimension that they bring to a performance. For the majority of them it was their first experience of hearing live professional musicians, let alone performing with them. It’s great to have the opportunity to work with Ensemble Reza to enrich the experience.’ Alison Sutton, Assistant Head, West Sussex Music

Ensemble Reza Trustees Annual Report 2023-2024 Charity no 1158708

Sixth Form Workshops: Reaching 39 students, 4 teachers from 2 Colleges

‘I can't stress what a difference the live performance of students' compositions makes. So often, students only experience their compositions through playback on a computer and little understanding of instruments is shown. Having their piece brought to life by an interpretation by professional musicians literally transforms it and effects such as dynamics, range etc can all be heard so much more clearly. The encouragement and guidance given by the players was invaluable for improving the piece but also on a personal level, giving them great self-confidence. Students come to Collyer's with different experiences, but many have never seen a classical piece of music performed live. For a student, to have professional musicians playing their piece and working with them to improve it is truly inspiring. It is so important that these kinds of experiences exist for music students or music A level really will have disappeared in 10 years time.’ Head of Music, Collyers

These workshops gave students the opportunity to work with our string quartet to hear their compositions performed live, discussing and testing ideas with our musicians. For many non-string players this was an opportunity to learn about the different string techniques and how these could differ depending on the period of music

‘I didn't know a lot about string writing / instruments at all... I learnt lots about bowing techniques / dynamics with the advice of the string players and was able to make adjustments there and then to later update on my final score.’ Collyer’s student

Project for Ingfield Manor School: Reaching 65 students, 30 teachers/TA’s

Ingfield Manor is a special school for students with neurological motor impairment such as cerebral palsy and associated sensory and medical needs. We have been working with the school for over six years. This 5 day project brought together students from reception to sixthform to create a multi-media cross-curricular piece combining music, film and art.

Students worked alongside the film crew to direct the filming around the school and then with our musicians to create their own soundtrack to their films.

It is always humbling to work with these students who overcome complex challenges to create their own music, playing alongside our musicians.

Feedback from parents and teachers: ‘We offer our deep, heartfelt thanks to you all. You're amazing and the way you interact with the children is magical.’

‘He is so expressive when talking about Reza and is keen to tell everyone he meets.’ When asked if he enjoyed playing the cajon, he had a big grin on his face.’ Teacher feedback

Ensemble Reza Trustees Annual Report 2023-2024 Charity no 1158708

‘My fear for Wilf, ever since he was diagnosed with cerebral palsy is that he won't find his own purpose in life, or feel genuinely part of something. Ensemble Reza has helped to smash through those fears. You have helped show him how wonderful, creative and expressive music is, but also given him the opportunities to be part of a team, a REAL BAND of performers (you professionals, and his school peers). You take what he does - whether it be something musical, some vocalisations or expressing himself through dancing - and you build on it, enhancing it, to such a point where HE takes notice of HIMSELF, of what he's achieved, because whatever it is he's contributed has been noticed by you, built upon, and it's been a big deal - to him and to everyone. It was obvious he felt such pride to be part of something so amazing. You all so skillfully, lovingly and with such enthusiasm help to bring out the best in all the pupils, giving each one their time to shine. The performance by all the pupils and yourselves was mesmerising, beautiful, and such fun! With so much going on in the world, music really does provide that common language of love and joy, and it couldn't have been expressed more eloquently by Ingfield pupils, many of whom are non-verbal. Thank you so much.’ Helen

Community Report April 2023 - August 2024

Free lunchtime concerts

Over the course of the year we ran 41 free concerts including 10 free afternoon concerts. This series included not only our core Ensemble Reza musicians but also colleagues we were keen to perform with. Audiences enjoyed not only the variety of instruments we brought to the series including our traditional strings, clarinet, accordion, guitar, voice, piano and bouzouki but also the variety of musical styles from traditional classical to jazz and world music.

‘A place in Crawley to regularly enjoy classical music. A place to meet like-minded people.’ Heather

These concerts continued to like-minded people.’ attract diverse audiences including local nursery and school groups walking distance from our venues, home schoolers, the retired and older retired, people with a disability, adults and young people with learning difficulties, those out of work, local office workers on a break and parents with toddlers (or babes in arms!). The opportunity to meet before the concert in our informal café was popular in both venues, with a ‘buzz’ in the air as friends and often family met to share a drink before the music started.

Our free afternoon concerts included performances at Crawley Open House, St Catherine’s Hospice, Broadfield Community Centre (pre-school) and County Mall shopping centre.

‘Enjoyed these masterpieces performed. I found this group very welcoming and helpful for my personal things in my life - really peaceful and spiritual and inspiring.

Ensemble Reza Trustees Annual Report 2023-2024 Charity no 1158708

‘Broadfield is a large, densely populated housing estate with areas of significant deprivation. Without Ensemble Reza the opportunity to hear live classical music is beyond the reach of most residents. Seeing the joy in some of the older persons faces, watching the younger generations listening to the music is a pleasure to behold. It provides space for toddlers to experience classical music and move their bodies in time to the music, while adults get to hear a broad selection of classical pieces from a variety of instruments. There is feeling of a shared experience, enjoying life together, alleviating loneliness and social isolation.’ Viv Evans, Broadfield Community Centre Development Worker, Crawley

Ensemble Reza Community Orchestra

The Reza Community Orchestra continues to amaze me at every rehearsal. To see 80+ musicians of all ages, abilities and from so many different walks of life, friends and families coming together is inspirational! Over the course of the year 89 musicians took part and we continue to see membership grow and our players develop. The support from our team of seven professional musicians is vital and the opportunity for sectional rehearsals (strings, wind, brass and percussion) is also popular with our players as well as our tutor performances at our Community Orchestra concerts.

‘I love being in the community orchestra as well as being in the audience. - they are so much fun but we work hard. The concerts are so joyful and they pull out the best in us. I know I am progressing in my playing again after many years of not picking it up.’ Deanna

‘I love Community Orchestra because it really helps my mental health. I am a 43 year of old mum of 2 and this is my treat to myself, to pick up my clarinet and play with others on a Sunday afternoon. It’s a whole break from mobile phones, dreary news and time to play and listen to music. We are so lucky to have Ensemble Reza in our Community’ (Lucy)

We have enjoyed creating partnerships with local community groups and schools with our community orchestra. The year started with a special community project ‘Orbits around the Sun’, led by Paul Griffiths and included two Crawley Schools – Seymour and St Wilfrid’s Secondary School and Crawley based community choir for local retirees – The Silver Birch Singers. Through intergenerational workshops with choir members and primary students worked together to create the lyrics to our community pieces, which was then orchestrated by students from St Wilfrids College and Reza musician Anna Cooper and later performed at the Amphitheatre at the Hawth in Crawley. Click here to see a short 1 minute film of this project: https://youtu.be/vveCDe4bh3M

Members from the Silver Birch singers joined us again at for our Christmas Concert and then in June students and teachers from Waterfield Primary School took part in our summer concert. For these primary students, this was the first time they had performed alongside professional musicians.

Ensemble Reza Trustees Annual Report 2023-2024 Charity no 1158708

The orchestra cultivates not only players, developing their musicianship and skill to play but also friendships within the group. Rehearsals and concerts are always a very joyful experience for not only our players but also our audience and to have musicians and audience up and dancing is not a rare sight!

‘As a singer, I always regretted not playing in an orchestra, and now here I am, semi-retired and having a ball playing viola in this great community orchestra! Husband, Tim, had never played in an orchestra before either and loves playing in the flute section.’ Jane

‘Loved the originality brought to all, especially the orchestra getting up and walking around the audience. I feel tempted to take up the clarinet myself!

‘I have enjoyed the opportunities to ‘It’s a chance for reconnect with music in very accessible the family to get and encouraging ways, playing in diverse out and make venues and with players from diverse age music, and with and musical backgrounds. These have an amazingly been the most unique and critical friendly group of elements, helping me realise where I can people.’ Stephen grow and my aim in music creation.’ Shen

Crawley Music Collective

At the start of the year, we ran two Community Orchestra rehearsals at the Hawth Theatre in Crawley to help build our membership for our new Crawley orchestra. However, we found that our new recruits from this area were keen to remain in our large and established orchestra. This presented an opportunity to create a slightly different community music making group for Crawley and our Crawley Music Collective was created.

We opened this group to musicians of all ages and abilities, however the significant difference from our traditional orchestra was that no music reading was required and any type of musical instrument (western or non-western) and music tech was very welcome. Based at Crawley College, over the course of these rehearsals 35 people took part including a local Crawley primary school teacher and 6 of his students.

Ensemble Reza Trustees Annual Report 2023-2024 Charity no 1158708

‘Loved hearing the influences of different cultures being incorporated into a group ensemble piece. Thank you for the professionals that led us. The many individuals become a group very quickly! Loved it!’ Sheila

These improvisation-based sessions were led by Paul Griffiths, supported by our team of Ensemble Reza musicians (including percussion, music tech, wind, and strings) and included Turkish and Greek instruments performed alongside electric guitars, strings, wind, percussion, keyboard and a group on garage band.

‘Just wanted to say a massive thank you for the experience we all shared as a family in the Crawley Music Collective, it's a memory for life!’

‘A great experience will be coming again. Absolutely loved the atmosphere here!’ Eric

Ensemble Reza Evening Concerts April 2023 - August 2024

During this period, we gave 26 ticketed performances, including our concert series at The Hawth Theatre . This series has been invaluable, not only in helping us reach new audiences, but also recruiting new members to our community music-making groups.

This series has also given us the opportunity to try new programmes, and during this period we not only enjoyed some classical greats but also expanded our repertoire to include a cello octet concert, folk music from the Nordic shores, and traditional music from Balkans, Greece, and Hungary.

We have also used our evening concerts as an opportunity to spotlight young local talented musicians, and our concerts have included music composed by students from our A’level music workshops at BHASVIC and performances with recent graduates and college students.

‘Ensemble Reza are bringing first class music performed with Our annual Candlelit Concert in

heart, soul and so much joy and kindness into the Cuckfield in November 2023 was our community, and they are changing lives. Thank you!’ Sigrid official Tenth Anniversary Concert and saw record number of ticket sales with ‘I am delighted to have discovered you and plan to see you over 245 people in the audience. This often from now on. You make me feel rejuvenated, inspired concert was also filmed by Crawley peaceful, joyful and thankful.’ Debbie Film Initiative and a short version can be viewed here: ‘It’s given me an opportunity to close my eyes and escape.’ Russell https://youtu.be/iJB3VIc_TY4.

In 2024 we re-introduced our Family Concert programme and plan to continue this popular series, with two concerts a year in the future.

We are fortunate to have two talented composers and arrangers, Anna Cooper and Pavlos Carvalho, within our ensemble. Their work regularly enriches our concerts, with arrangements and compositions tailored to include our wide scope of instruments from violin to bouzouki and varied genres of music. These concerts are hugely popular with not only with our diverse audiences, but also the wider freelance community of musicians who we frequently engage.

Through Anna Cooper’s captivating musical stories, we have been able to expand our schools programme significantly, often reaching over 1,000 young people in a day. Anna’s work has also been crucial in supporting our large-scale community choir and orchestra performances, bringing together mixed generations, including local choirs for the older retired, local schools and our community orchestra, creating inspiring musical experiences for not only all involved but also our local community.

Review of the charity’s
financial position at the end

Explanation of any
uncertainties about the
charity continuing as a going
concern.
SORP reference: Para 1.23
In this period 2023-24 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 through its concert and other
education and community programmes. The amount in the bank
on signing these accounts is£80,675
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 the foreseeable future, 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.

Income from
membership
subscriptions
Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in
Donations 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.
Settlement of insurance
claims
Insurance claims are only included in the SoFA when the general income
recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP) and are included as an
item of other income in the SoFA.
Investment gains and
This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments
Support costs
The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs.
Volunteer help
The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is
described in the trustees’ annual report.
Income from interest,
royalties and dividends
This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount
receivable can be measured reliably.
Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from
donations when receivable.
Donated services and
facilities
Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the
value of 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 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
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.
Tax reclaims on
donations and gifts
Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the
donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of
that 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
performance related
grants
This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods
or services or met the performance related conditions.
Donated goods
Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could
be exchanged) unless impractical to do so.
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
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 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
· it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and
• the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.

required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102.

2.4 ASSETS
Intangible fixed assets
Heritage assets
They are valued at fair value except where they qualify as basic financial
instruments.
Debtors
Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition
at settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the charity.
Subsequently, they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be
received.
Current asset
investments
The charity has has investments which it holds for resale or pending their sale and cash
and cash equivalents with a maturity date less than one year. These include cash on
deposit and cash equivalents with a maturity date of less than one year held for investment
purposes rather than to meet short term cash commitments as they fall due.
Investments held for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents
with a maturity date of less than 1 year are treated as current asset investments
Stocks and work in
progress
Stocks held for sale as part of non-charitable trade are measured at the lower or cost or net
realisable value.
Goods or services provided as part of a charitable activity are measured at net realisable
value based on the service potential provided by items of stock.
Work in progress is valued at cost less any foreseeable loss that is likely to occur on the
contract.
The charity has intangible fixed assets, that is, non-monetary assets that do not
have physical substance but are identifiable and are controlled by the charity
through custody or legal rights. The amortisation rates and methods used are
disclosed in note 9.5
They are valued at cost.
The charity has heritage assets, that is, non-monetary assets with historic, artistic,
scientific, technological, geophysical or environmental qualities that are held and
maintained principally for their contribution to knowledge and culture. The
depreciation rates and methods used as disclosed in note 9.6.1.4.
They are valued at cost.
Investments
Fixed asset investments in quoted shares, traded bonds and similar investments
are valued at initially at cost and subsequently at fair value (their market value) at
the year end. The same treatment is applied to unlisted investments unless fair
value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less

paragraph 10.7 FRS102 SORP. Subsequent measurement is as per paragraphs

discounts

measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the
reporting date
Grants with performance
conditions
Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level
of 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
performance conditions
Where there are no conditions attaching to the grant that enables the donor charity
to realistically avoid the commitment, a liability for the full funding obligation must be
recognised.
Redundancy cost
The charity made no redundancy payments during the reporting period.
2.3 EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES
Liability recognition
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.
Governance and
support costs
Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support.
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.
Investment gains and
losses
and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the
end of the year.

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 oul 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 fo and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Flegulations 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.
