On 16 May 2025 ORA Singers also performed a special Gala Concert at the Town Church in St. Helier as part of the Liberation International Music Festival. To mark Jersey Liberation 80, we devised a bespoke programme that featured the world premiere of a new work by Pawel Lukaszewski, reflecting Prayer in the Time of Distress by theologian and anti-Nazi dissident Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and culminated in Francis Poulenc’s Liberté from Figure Humaine - an iconic and rarely performed choral work written during the occupation of France and premiered in London in 1945. Suzi Digby also delivered a series of inspirational choral workshops at schools across Jersey as part of ORA’s visit, aiming to inspire the younger generation through the power of singing.
The Young Composers’ Final Concert returned to the Three Choirs Festival, taking place in the majestic setting of Worcester Cathedral on 2 August 2024. We also launched our Graduate Composers scheme for five early-career composers, culminating in a showcase at the Dora Stoutzker Concert Hall in Cardiff in September 2024.
## Commissions & Premieres:
During FY 2024-25, ORA Singers gave a remarkable 16 world premieres at venues nationwide. This included the first five Graduate Composer commissions, which will be included in ORA’s ‘100 Commissions’ catalogue.
In a wonderful full-circle moment, we commissioned our first alumni of the Young Composers’ Scheme in 2025 and aspire to support more former participants pursuing composition as a career. Emily Pedersen, who took part in 2019 and returned as an adjudicator in 2023, went on to study at the Royal Northern College of Music and is now pursuing her Masters degree as a scholar at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama. She has had her music published by Faber, worked with groups such as the BBC Singers and Hallé, and written her first chamber opera. We engaged her to write a contemporary reflection of Lassus’ Omnes de Saba, which received its premiere as part of a concert at The Stoller Hall in Manchester on 29 April 2025.
The ORA-commissions premiered in FY 2024-25 were:
Odaline de la Martinez Three Afro-Cuban Poems, for Mixed Choir, Dora Stoutzker Concert Hall, 28 September 2024
Phillip Dutton Time’s Sycthe, Wigmore Hall, 28 October 2024
David Norland Visitation - St Clement Danes Church, 13 December 2024

We extend our congratulations to these five early-career composers who were commissioned following a competitive application process with only a 10% success rate. We anticipate they have exciting careers ahead of them and will follow their progress with great anticipation.
## Support of Young Musicians:
Each year, ORA Singers’ Young Composers Scheme provides a comprehensive overview of the elements surrounding choral composition to 50 students from non-fee paying schools from across the country. This year, the Young Composers’ final works received their premiere on the largest stage of the world’s longest running music festival. Held in the nave of Worcester Cathedral as part of the Three Choirs Festival in August 2024, we welcomed more than 150 members of the public to this concert – including friends and families of our Young Composers. An expert Panel of Adjudicators made up of Paul Mealor, Cecilia McDowall and Nathan James Dearden had the unenviable task of choosing a Winner. Our congratulations to Annabel Baxter, whose work Spring took home this year’s prize. In a first, we re-performed this work at The Stoller Hall in Manchester on 29 April 2025 as part of one of our regular concert programmes.
ORA Singers inaugural Graduate Composers’ Showcase also reached its conclusion in FY 2024-25, with a performance at the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama. We launched this programme to plug the gap between our pioneering Young Composers' Scheme and our groundbreaking ‘100 Commissions’ project. Five composers were selected to take part, receiving a commission to write a Renaissance reflection for ORA’s full complement of 18 singers. Each of these composers displayed an impressive level of skill, musicality and promise in their applications. Their brief was to respond to one of three Renaissance works in their own interpretation, writing a piece lasting around 4 minutes for an ensemble of 18 singers. Each responded in distinct and innovative ways, resulting in a series of highly original works.
The sixth Young Composers Scheme and second Graduate Composers Scheme were launched in December 2024, forming a carefully considered Composers Pathway which has become an annual feature of our artistic programme.
## Short Summary:
This financial year was another successful one for ORA, with an increased programme of concerts and continued progress towards our stated aim of commissioning 100 new works in 10 years. ORA continues to employ a wide range of professional singers, composers, mentors, workshop leaders, recording engineers and engages with amateur musicians and audiences across all age groups.
## Financial Position:
We were able to maintain our official reserve, and we would like to thank all our supporters who enabled us to continue our work in this financial year.

Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Ora Choir
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Ora Choir for the year ended 30 June 2025.
## Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act.
Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the Charity are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's financial statements as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.
## Independent examiner's statement
As the charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of FCCA, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I can confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
- accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the 2006 Act ; or
- the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
- the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements under section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the financial statements give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
- the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

Once the contributions have been paid the company has no further payments obligations. The contributions are recognised as expenses when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the company in independently administered funds.
