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.

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.

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.

‘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.

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.

£6,381 Restricted (2023: £16,333 £27,214 Unrestricted (2023: 17,026) |
| 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. |

This standard list of accounting policies has been applied by the charity except for those ticked "No" or "N/a". Where a different or additional policy has been adopted then this is detailed in the box below.
| Recognition of income 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. Offsetting There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102. Grants and donations Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP).

| 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 Basic financial instruments The charity accounts for basic financial instruments on initial recognition as per paragraph 10.7 FRS102 SORP. Subsequent measurement is as per paragraphs 11.17 to 11.19, FRS102 SORP. Tangible fixed assets for use by charity These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least They are valued at cost. The depreciation rates and methods used are disclosed in note 14. Deferred income No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts. Creditors The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts Provisions for liabilities 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 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. |
