Trustees’ Annual Report December 2025

Objectives and Activities

To advance public education in, and appreciation of, the art and science of chamber music through;

1. Commissioning and publishing of new compositions

2. Performing and touring high quality artistic work

3. The development of partnerships between chamber music and other art forms

4. Development of new audiences for the art form

5. Support to develop new/emerging talent within chamber music.

Achievements and Performance

During the year, Cosmic focused on shaping future artistic projects and securing financial support for the upcoming tour of Dame Heccatty Weirdsister Does Macbeth (formerly Macbeth Retold). Significant progress was made in planning, collaboration, and creative development. The production is scheduled to tour across Wales in Spring 2026, with partnerships and venues currently being finalised.

Financial Review

This year’s financial activity concentrated on fundraising for the Dame Heccatty tour. We successfully secured grants from the Leche Trust, the Ralph Vaughan Williams Foundation, Ty Cerdd, the Oakdale Trust, the Gemma Classical Music Trust and the Arts Council of Wales. These contributions provide a strong foundation for delivering the 2026 tour and continuing Cosmic’s wider artistic and collaborative aims.

Accounts attached.
