Having regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit, we organise an annual festival which usually includes a children's opera, an opera/opera extracts performed by a mixture of professional and amateur artists, a jazz concert performed by professional artists, an amateur jazz concert and, sometimes, a lecture on a music-related subject. 

**Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)** 

The children's opera is organised with the cooperation of two schools (currently) - Cross Ash Junior School and Pen Y Cwm Special School in Ebbw Vale. The children are engaged in all aspects of presentation from set design, stage management and promotion to performing with professional artists. In 2017 the children also wrote the music and libretto for their opera production 'The Ogre of Abergavenny', in 2018 they followed this with a sequel – ‘The Ogre of Abergavenny II’ and in 2019 they completed the project with ‘Ogre of Abergavenny III’.  Similar projects will be arranged in future years. 

We also have occasional events where we give young local artists the opportunity to perform before an audience. 

The festival usually takes place in the month of May but was changed to the end of June in 2022.
