By delaying
a month
and holding the Festival
in early June we| |identifying||the difference the||||were delighted
to be able to welcome
live| |charity's|work has|||made to||audiences.
Concerts were carefully
planned| |the circumstances||||of its||to allow for social distancing.
Audiences| |beneficiaries
and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.||||||were hugely enthusiastic
and supportive
and
some events were sold out. All were very
cooperative
with extensive
Covid| |||||||precautions
and no known cases arose from| |||||||the Festival. Each event was filmed to allow| |||||||for home viewing
instead or in addition,
and| |||||||whilst there was a disappointing
take up of| |||||||online sales we now have a valuable
archive| |||||||of high quality films. A notable feature ofthe| |||||||2021 Festival was the extension
of our| |||||||education
work to include
not only a concert| |||||||by the Platti string quartet
in several schools,| |||||||but also the making
ofa film with an| |||||||animateur
featuring
the string quartet to be| |||||||available to schools. This education
work| |||||||was made possible
by grants from the| |||||||Cavatina
Chamber
Music Trust, the Rainbow| |||||||Dickinson
Trust, the Thistle Trust and| |||||||Winchester
BID.These grants, the generous| |||||||support of our Friends and Patrons
and| |||||||buoyant
live ticket sales meant that the final| |||||||shortfall was just below F2,000, much lower| |||||||than the Trustees
had budgeted
for.| |||||||In the Autumn
our usual Fundraising
concert| |||||||had to be replaced
by online performances| |||||||of Beethoven's
quartet
The Harp and| |||||||Dvorak's
American
quartet.
This was| |||||||especially
well received
by members
of our| |||||||Friends' scheme.| |||||||In the Festival itself there were 4 one hour| |||||||concerts each repeated,
one late night| |||||||concert, one online talk and an online open| |||||||rehearsal. The London Bridge Trio (David| |Adams,
Kate Gould and Daniel Tong) were| |---| |joined by guests
Lucy Gould (violin), Gary| |Pomeroy
(viola), Robert Plane (clarinet) and| |Tim Horton (piano).| |The participating
musicians
were hugely| |helpful
and flexible and contributed
much to| |a very happy and successful
Festival.| |Concerts took place in the newly renovated| |St Paul's Church which proved an excellent| |and very welcoming
venue.| |Audiences
revelled
in the chance to hear live| |music again and enjoyed
Bartok, Beethoven,| |Brahms,
Dvorak and Faure.
It was| |particularly
encouraging
that Messiaen's| |Quartet for the End of Time, the rarely heard| |Weber Piano Quartet
in Bflat and Joe| |Cutler's
Slippery Music were especially
well| |received. Performance
ofthe last named| |was supported
by the Schubert Ensemble.| |During the year the Trustees
met four times| |on Zoom. The increased
number
of| |meetings
reflected the need for careful and| |changing
plans to accommodate
difficulties| |posed by Covid 19.In September 2019we| |welcomed
Carol Orchard
on to the board.| |The Trustees wish to record their especial| |thanks to Kate Gould, Artistic Director, and| |Lucy Bending, Manager,
for coping so well| |with difficult circumstances
and for planning| |with care and imagination
an exciting and| |successful
Festival.| ## |You ma
