Oxford Bach Soloists

Charitable Incorporated Organisation Trustees’ Annual Report Year ended 31st August 2023

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The CIO was established to promote, maintain, improve and advance the education of the public in the arts, culture, and heritage, and in particular (but without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing), the arts of orchestral, choral and other music.

Since the previous Annual Report (and since our founding) there has been no change to the CIO’s principal charitable objectives and activities, which are:

the organisation and/or presentation of concerts of high educational and artistic merit, conferences, lectures and recordings;
the organisation and presentation of concerts and collaborations with schools and other places of education; and
by such other means as the Board of Directors shall from time to time determine.

This includes the organisation and promotion of concerts and the facilitation and organisation of other engagements such as workshops, lectures, and recordings in the United Kingdom and abroad. Alongside the core performances, the CIO is committed to providing additional opportunities for professional development and education through complementary projects and mentoring. In furtherance of these objectives the CIO engages international singers and instrumentalists, artists, performers and repetiteurs; additionally, the CIO engages skilled professional and technical advisers such as language and vocal coaches, musicologists, historians, and keyboard technicians.

The Trustees have reviewed the Charity’s objectives and activities and acknowledged that they have paid due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission as noted in Section 4 of the Charities Act 2011. The CIO fulfilled its objectives by presenting 37 concerts and other performances. The Choral Scholarship scheme was in place for this period, and ten scholarships were offered between September 2022 and August 2023. The Trustees express the objectives in a ‘Mission Statement’ and monitor its activities/initiatives against this.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

From 1st September 2022 to 31st August 2023, the Oxford Bach Soloists gave 22 concerts to a total of 5470 audience members (4110 in person, 1360 online). They also took part in 12 workshops and masterclasses.

The activities were as follows:

Own-promoted Live Performances

6 live concerts, as part of the one-off Motets series, 5 of which were in New College Chapel, 1 of which was in St Michael at the North Gate church. This series was designed: to provide a platform for the choral scholars to perform together; and to ensure that the charity had regular monthly concerts between October 2022 and March 2023.
1 live concert in New College Chapel, performing the yearly J.S. Bach’s Christmas Oratorio. (December 2022).
1 live concert in New College Chapel, performing the yearly St John Passion. (April 2023)

Oxford Bach Soloists Charitable Incorporated Organisation Trustees’ Annual Report Year ended 31st August 2023

Workshops and Masterclasses

9 workshops with Dr Pegram Harrison, as part of his teaching for the Saïd Business School, demonstrating Collaboration and Leadership skills needed in successful music-making. (September 2022 - June 2023)
1 masterclass with tenor Nick Pritchard for the choral scholars in St Peter’s College Chapel. This event was not open to the public. (February 2023)
1 masterclass with bass Alex Ashworth for the choral scholars in St Peter’s College Chapel. This event was not open to the public. (June 2023)
1 masterclass with German coach Gerhard Gall for the choral scholars in Clore Music Studios. This event was not open to the public. (July 2023)

Private Events

1 live performance at the charity’s annual Friends Day, consisting of a private recital from the choral scholars to the Friends and supporters.

In July 2022, the Board of Trustees decided to cancel 3 live concerts of cantatas by J.S. Bach in New College Chapel, due to a delay in major sponsorship funds arriving. This meant that, although the regular concert series restarted in April 2022, it was paused again in July 2022. These delayed funds arrived in September 2022, allowing the charity’s musical activity to resume in October 2022. Therefore, the decision was taken to embark on another bespoke 6 concert series, this time focussing on Bach’s choral motets. It was decided that this type of series would be the cornerstone of the organisation’s artistic output until appropriate funds were raised to ensure that the regular concert series could be continued over a sustained period.

During this period, the Oxford Bach Soloists’ network of Friends and sponsors continued to support the organisation. Many continued to renew their memberships despite the two cancelled concerts in the previous period. Within this reporting period, the organisation managed to acquire 23 new Friends and supporters, increasing the active base of ongoing memberships to 133.

Continuing to create and distribute content online in this period, and in particular collaborating with other groups online, has been an excellent way of ensuring that we

Oxford Bach Soloists Charitable Incorporated Organisation Trustees’ Annual Report Year ended 31st August 2023

are connecting with our network of sponsors. In May 2022, the group trialled an online platform named ‘Digital Concerts’, allowing current Friends to access any own-promoted concerts in New College Chapel online. This was continued throughout the 2022-23 period, with all of the organisation’s own promoted concerts being streamed onto the platform. The scheme attracted 33 subscribers during this period.

The Choral Scholarship scheme, which was launched in 2018, was continued for the academic year 2022-23, following its relaunch for the 2021-22 academic year, after its cancellation in 2020-21 due to the lack of activity during the pandemic. There were ten scholarships for 2022-23 and these scholarships provide a unique opportunity for young aspiring singers to develop their solo singing within the musical programme of the Oxford Bach Soloists. Choral Scholars are appointed for a single academic year (September to August) and make up the core of the chorus, helping to maintain its musical integrity. Choral Scholars develop their skills by taking on the challenges of step-out solos during concerts and receive one-to-one expert German language coaching as part of their training, as well as extensive one-to-one mentoring from the Artistic Director of Oxford Bach Soloists.

The recruitment cycle for a fifth cohort of Choral Scholars was activated in May 2023, and another cohort of ten Choral Scholars were engaged for the academic year starting in September 2023.

The Oxford Bach Soloists’ newsletter captures the experiences of the musicians as they journey through the complete vocal works of Johann Sebastian Bach, and is sent out to over 1000 followers every month.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

This was the sixth operating period of the charity. The proceeds from concerts were £77,207 in the 12-month period, compared with costs of £201,603. Some of the shortfall has been covered by general fundraising from Friends (£9,879), and from general donations (£130,512). The charity also received a restricted donation (£20,000) to complete a particular artistic project. There is a surplus of £35,997 calculated on a cash basis. The Charity secured funding from an individual donor which started in 2020-21, and which allowed significant growth and secured funds to pay musicians. This funding

Oxford Bach Soloists

Charitable Incorporated Organisation Trustees’ Annual Report Year ended 31st August 2023

was terminated in December 2023, and the charity is now searching for funds to replace this potential shortfall for 2024-25.

Proceeds from concerts and general fundraising are lower than the previous period, as the activity had been reduced in order to ensure the organisation’s longevity. General fundraising per month has increased since the previous period, as the organisation seeks for more funding to restart the regular monthly cantata concerts.

Fees paid to musicians decreased over the period, as well as the general administration costs. The musicians’ fees decreased due to fewer engagements across the period, and also due to the smaller forces required for the Motets series. Though the spend on salaries was slightly higher during this period, the general administration costs decreased. This is due to fewer administration staff being employed on a freelance basis by the charity, and fewer funds being spent on both marketing and PR consultancy. £4,130 of the spend this year was the repayment of a short term loan from 2021-22.

At the end of the financial period, the Charity held assets of £82,217. These assets are adequate to provide the charity with working capital and the Trustees do not believe them to be excessive. Work continues to build a strong base of regular donors through the Friends programme and to sponsor the appointment of choral scholars. The charity does not break even on all the concerts which it performs, though it aims to be sustainable over a full 12-month period.

Note 2 Accounting policies 2.2 INCOME

This standard list of accounting policies has been applied by the charity except for those ticked "No" or "N/a". Where a different or additional policy has been adopted then this is detailed in the box below.

Recognition of income	These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when:
	• the charity becomes entitled to the resources;
	· it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and
	• the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
	There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or
Offsetting	permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102.
	Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition
Grants and donations	criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP).
	In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent
	that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant
	only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP).
Legacies	Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has been
	grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the
	estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity
	or have been met.
Government grants	The charity has received government grants in the reporting period
	Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor.
Tax reclaims on donations	Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is

	fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt. In
	the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an expense
	at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution.

Investment gains and losses This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year.

2.3 EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES

Liability recognition Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.

Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support. Governance and support costs Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice.

Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, eg allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.

Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of Grants with performance conditions service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output.

Where there are no conditions attaching to the grant that enables the donor charity to Grants payable without realistically avoid the commitment, a liability for the full funding obligation must be performance conditions recognised.

Redundancy cost The charity made no redundancy payments during the reporting period.

Deferred income No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts.

The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts

Investments Fixed asset investments in quoted shares, traded bonds and similar investments are valued at initially at cost and subsequently at fair value (their market value) at the year end. The same treatment is applied to unlisted investments unless fair value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment.

Investments held for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a maturity date of less than 1 year are treated as current asset investments

Stocks and work in Stocks held for sale as part of non-charitable trade are measured at the lower or cost or net progress realisable value.

Goods or services provided as part of a charitable activity are measured at net realisable value based on the service potential provided by items of stock.

Work in progress is valued at cost less any foreseeable loss that is likely to occur on the contract.

Please note that Fair Value in this context is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged between knowlegable and willing parties in an arm's length transaction. For traded securities, the fair value is the value of the security quoted on the London Stock Exchange Daily Official List or equivalent. For other assets where there is no market price on a traded market, it is the trustees' or valuers' best estimate of fair value.

17.2 Please provide a breakdown of investments shown above agreeing with the balance sheet row B04 differentiating between those held at fair value and those held at cost less impairment.

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the yearended31 / 08 / 2023. As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”). I report in respect of my examination of theTrust’saccounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent	I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have
examiner's statement	come to my attention in connection with the examination (other than that
	disclosed below *) which gives me cause to believe that in, any material
	respect:

the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
• the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
