Para 1.17 and 1.19	musicians to develop their skills by performing in public. In normal times the principal focus ofthe Charity would be .to organise events where children were provided with opportunities to perform in public in significant: venues with the most impressive being a week-long Festival at the Tower of London arranged in partnership with Historic Royal Palaces. However due to Covid-19 the Festivals in 2020,
					2021and 2022 could not be held. The Charity had started to
					extend its reach to alternative venues outside London
					including at the Tall Ships Festival in Gloucester in 2020.An
					event may be held at the Tower of London in 2023 but may
					be scaled down.
					The two videos we produced in 2021continue to be
					available on youtube. These are 'With her head tucked
					underneath her arm' and 'Walking in a Winter Wonderland'.
					Tofulfil our charitable objectives and to give children the
					opportunity to receive excellent music tuition and to
					experience the thrill ofperforming, we continued to hold
					events at StGeorge the Martyr in Southwark under our
					Oasis Programme. Although the programme was reduced
					due to Covid-19 we were able to deliver a series ofsmall,
					revised Oasis events, involving early career musicians and
					children from two primary schools in Southwark. These
					events Inciuded: School visits with two WCM musicians;
					weekly rehearsals ofschool bubble groups run by an
					experienced local music teacher; University students in
					remote teaching delivery ofgroups ofchildren; a "concert"
					involving WCM professional musicians; an early career
					performing musician, two music mentors from King's College

									London music dept, and socially distanced children singing
									and playing.
									Also in Southwark, we organised local school children to
									perform atthe Dragon Connects Festival in October 2021.
									This was agreat success and more than 130children from
									three Southwark schools joined emerging musicians and
									music students for a day ofconcerts designed to bring the
									local community back together after the Pandemic. We were
									delighted with the success ofthe day which also involved
									musicians, hospital patients, care staff, and local pensioners.
									This was a real partnership between Water City Music, St
									George the Martyr and King's College.
									In October 2021children from local Cotswold schools joined
									a professional orchestra, Orchestra Pro Anima, in a very
									successful concert in Northleach Church. This isthe first
									time we have arranged for children to perform at a public
									ticketed concert. We hope to repeat this in 2022.
