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.

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
