Para 1.20 | The Trustees had approached the 2020 Festival with confidence, in the knowledge that generous additional donations and subscription upgrades from our Friends, and nearly f2,000 from the Autumn Fundraising Concert, meant that for the first time in |
|||
| benefits to society as a whole. |
several years, the Festival was likely to break even. An exciting programme had been |
||||
| planned and tickets were already selling well. |
|||||
| Sadly the Covid 19lockdown meant the |
|||||
| Festival had to be cancelled. Ticket holders | |||||
| were refunded in full but a good number |
|||||
| donated the cost oftheir tickets to the | |||||
| Festival enabling the Trust to pay all booked artists 25% ofthe agreed fee.We hope to |
|||||
| include much ofthe repertoire and feature |
|||||
| many ofthese fine artists in future years. |
|||||
| The published programme was to celebrate |
|||||
| the 250th Beethoven anniversary with trios |
|||||
| and quartets culminating in the Beethoven |
|||||
| Septet. In between, we were looking forward | |||||
| to some gems ofthe French repertoire, | |||||
| including Messiaen's Quartet forthe End of |
|||||
| Time in the late night slot. Contemporary | |||||
| composers were represented by Joe Cutler's |
|||||
| Slippery Music with a grant offered by the Schubert Ensemble Trust. |
|||||
| In the Autumn concert our Artistic Director, |
|||||
| Kate Gould, cellist was joined by, David | |||||
| Adams, her violinist colleague from The | |||||
| London Bridge Trio, guitarist, Mark Eden, |
|||||
| and viola player, Douglas Paterson. This | |||||
| enabled some unusual and exciting |
|||||
| repertoire. All players donated their services. |
|||||
| The Trustees met 4times during the year. We welcomed Carol Orchard, one of our |
|||||
| Patrons, as a new Trustee. | |||||
| Our loyal Friends and supporters have |
|||||
| continued to support us so the future ofthe |
|||||
| Festival is assured. Plans are developing for |
|||||
| the 2021 Festival, beading in mind the |
