OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Purpose

The objects of the charity, as set out in its Articles of Association, are the advancement of the art of music and of education in music by presenting music festivals and music events initially but not exclusively in Beverley, East Riding of Yorkshire.

Public benefit

The charity carries out its purposes for the public benefit and in running the charity the trustees have due regard for the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit, including the guide ‘ Public benefit: running a charity (PB2) ’. There is no private benefit obtained as a result of the charity’s activities.

Main activity

The main activity of the charity is to present music festivals in Beverley. In addition to festivals, the charity also carries out other musical projects from time to time (these include delivering education and outreach events, giving concerts, and making music videos).

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

During the year the charity focussed its resources on (1) delivering the 30[th] Beverley Chamber Music Festival (which ran 29[th] September – 1[st] October) and (2) making the second series of Postcards (filmed in St Mary’s Church on 26[th] and 27[th] September for release on YouTube in February 2023).

After having presented two festivals in 2021 (the July festival being one of the first in the country after live music resumed, and the September festival taking place before the Omicron variant hit the UK), in 2022 we decided to consolidate our efforts around one festival; a special edition of the Beverley Chamber Music Festival which celebrated its contribution to the cultural life of the region over three decades.

The bumper dawn-til-dusk programme across multiple venues attracted large audiences: more than 2,500 seats were taken, and ticket sales were the highest of any festival which New Paths Music has organised (making a strong contribution to the financing of such a vibrant festival). Renowned international performers were combined with impressive emerging artists: the number of artists was higher than in the past, with numerous performers or ensembles appearing in multiple concerts, affording an exciting range of collaborations. One third of the events were free, including the talks, and the daily breakfast performances by Libby Burgess of Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier Book 1. Among the young people who attended the festival for free through our Golden Ticket scheme was a sizeable secondary school group from York who came to all five of the concerts on the Friday! Much of the repertoire was relevant to their GCSE and A-level syllabus, making the day particularly impactful for them, and their experience was enhanced by the opportunity to meet the performers and chat with them.

Contemporary music (including works by Sally Beamish and Cheryl Frances-Hoad) and composers whose music is less often performed (such as Joan Trimble and Hugh Wood) featured prominently in the programme. The appetite of our audience for such repertoire continues to inspire us, and we are heartened by the trust they show in our programming of a wide range of music and musicians. Continuing our pattern of presenting new music, the world premiere of a new string quartet by David Matthews commissioned especially for the festival was given by the Salomé Quartet, and the first public performance of a new set of songs written by Richard Allain was given by Aoife Miskelly and Libby Burgess.

The festival was also Martin Roscoe’s last as Co-Artistic Director. One of Martin’s memorable performances at the festival was an exhilarating double piano concert with Peter Donohoe CBE, which drew a particularly large audience. It was a great pleasure and honour for all of us at New Paths Music to collaborate with Martin on the Beverley Chamber Music Festival for the last five years, since that festival was handed over to New

Paths, and it was with much gratitude that we wished him a fond farewell as Co-Artistic Director. Over a drinks reception we thanked him for his distinguished service – not just during our five years together, but also for the prior quarter century of the Beverley Chamber Music Festival’s history.

Season 2 of Postcards comprised eight short musical films celebrating the history and heritage of the region; filming these in the days immediately before the festival afforded efficiencies for the charity (for example through the use of artists appearing in the festival and the use of one of the pianos hired for the festival). The programming reflected the nature of live New Paths events, with a diversity of both gender and race amongst the composers featured. This new series of Postcards was released in early 2023 and provided free access to quality performances for those unable to attend events in person, as well as helping to increase awareness of and engagement with our work nationally. It emphasised that New Paths Music is inextricably linked with the East Riding of Yorkshire and that the place, and the music which happens here, is of a special nature and quality. We are proud that New Paths Music is becoming part of the identity of the town of Beverley and its people. And we are enormously grateful to our musicians, volunteers and everyone in the local community for helping to forge such a deep and creative connection with the place.

A look forward to 2023

It has been a joy in 2023 to be able to resume even more of the in-person activities (which weren’t possible during the pandemic) that help nurture this bond. With the benefit of distance, it is clear that 2022 was a transitional year for us, as moved from the very specific nature of the height of the pandemic (where we were proud of cancelling well, resuming fast, and looking after our stakeholders carefully), back towards the full community programme we have been able to re-introduce in 2023. Thus our Autumn Festival in 2023, which has just finished as this report is written, included a concert for babies and toddlers and an Inspire! workshop for local young musicians organised in partnership with the hub. As the cost-of-living crisis bites, and against a grim economic backdrop for the arts, we remain more determined than ever to bring people together through music and to provide life-enhancing opportunities and experiences to as many people as possible through this great art form.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Results for the year

The results for the year are set out in the Statement of Financial Activities on page 12. Income for the year was £61,295 (2021: £73,313) and expenditure for the year was £61,337 (2021: £77,971), resulting in a deficit for the year of £42 (2021: deficit of £4,658).

The income of the charity for the year was provided, as follows:

(a) 60% from donations (2021: 59%); and (b) 40% from ticket sales and miscellaneous activities (2021: 41%).

Reserves

The trustees have set an amount of £2,000 as a target minimum level of reserves (funds which are freely available) to be maintained. That amount approximates to one year’s governance and support costs and is to cover the estimated costs of an orderly winding up only. It is the trustees’ intention to build up reserves sufficient to enable charitable activities to continue in the event of fundraising targets not being met.

As at 31 December 2022 the unrestricted funds of the charity stood at £5,598 (2021: £5,640).

Major risks

The principal financial risk to the charity is the ability to raise sufficient funds to carry out its charitable purpose. The trustees manage this risk by targeted and regular fundraising.

NEW PATHS MUSIC LIMITED A CHARITABLE COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 31 December 2022

Going concern

The charity is entirely dependent on ongoing donations and, as a consequence, the going concern basis is also dependent on these continuing. The Trustees are of the view that, based on their assessment of the 2022 results, the budgeted income and expenditure, and the fundraising plans in place, the charity is a going concern.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount can be measured reliably.

Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category.

Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:

(a) Raising funds

Costs of raising funds comprise expenditure items incurred in attracting voluntary income.

(b) Charitable activities

Charitable activities include expenditure associated with the staging of concerts, performances, productions and educational events and include both the direct costs and support costs relating to those activities.

Support costs allocation

Support costs are those that assist the work and objects of the charity and include IT costs, insurance and governance costs. During the year, support costs were incurred chiefly in relation to charitable activities (rather than fundraising) and have accordingly been allocated to expenditure on charitable activities as set out in notes 5 and 6.
