Annual Report 2023-2024
At the end of the 2022/2023 financial year, Trustees were delighted to be awarded a grant of £4,000 from the National Lottery Heritage Fund, programme Untold Edmonton [LB Enfield].
Trustees had long wanted a chance to spotlight heritage Ottoman music within their programme and, as Enfield has a significant minority of people of Turkish heritage (along with many others whose families would at one time have been citizens of the Ottoman Empire), the funding provided an opportunity to develop a project within this cultural framework.

We were fortunate in working with Wendy Kemp, Head of the Enfield Music Service, and Elif Karlidag, a Turkish/British composer
(https://britishmusiccollection.org.uk/composer/elif-karlidag) and her colleagues, the musicians of the East London Sound Ensemble (ELSE). We received great support from Dorian Knight and Hatice Abdullah of the Enfield heritage team.
Charlie Andrew was appointed as consultant project manager and devised a half term programme for primary schools that incorporated learning for staff and pupils. The programme included: a staff orientation session; a professional demonstration of maqam music and heritage instruments; a session on history and Ottoman culture; two ‘soundscape’ workshop sessions

and, finally, a concert for the parents and children based on the pupils’ compositions.
With full support from Ms Davies Oliveck, the headteacher, and the staff of Starks Field Primary School, Edmonton, Charlie and Elif implemented the pilot programme with great success. The performance morning in the School Hall was memorable. Elif had arranged the Year 3 and Year 4 children’s graphic notations into group of lines that moved colourfully and sinuously across a screen. The moving images were used as a ‘score’ by the musicians of the East London Sound Ensemble.

The overall objectives include: increasing awareness of and enthusiasm for heritage Turkish music; the creating and publishing of high quality resources for schools; raising the profile of Enfield’s music-making and heritage by engagement with national and regional agencies.
We also knew the programme could enhance primary teachers confidence in relation to three concerns:
-
anxiety about teaching music: few have had training in the subject
-
• anxiety about teaching music from cultures other than the Western classical tradition: for example, the music of the Balkans, Asia Minor and North Africa is barely mentioned in national curriculum guidance
-
anxiety about teaching composition, which is in the national curriculum, but rarely taught in professional development.
The evaluation of the pilot concluded that many of the objectives had been met or partially met, so, as originally planned, we will seek further funding

to complete the task and in particular, to provide video /audio materials that will enable teachers to run the programme independently.
Trustees
Trustees were delighted to welcome Robert Weedon, one of the first people in touch with GMM2015 at its beginning, to the Board. Robert is a foremost authority on the stories and achievements of the composers of World War 1 and manages the extensive website ‘War Composers’
https://www.warcomposers.co.uk
Robert first contacted Nick Peacey about the possible completion of the lost section of a short ballet ‘The Comic Spirit’ composed by Nick’s great uncle, William Denis Browne. To everyone’s delight, Robert finished the ballet and it was performed for the first time since 1912 at Gallipoli Music Memorial commemorative events in 2015.
