performances devoted to new music;
(b) providing a dedicated forum for
research in order to further dialogue
within the new music community;
(c) providing professional development
and performance opportunities for
artists identifying as female, thus
advancing equal opportunities in an
historically male-dominated
profession;
(d) promoting the highest standards
and supporting engaged risk-taking
in the creation and performance of
new musical works; and
2.
the advancement of the education of the
public in general in the subject of music,
in particular but not exclusively by:
(a) promoting a broad and diverse
repertoire of new music;
(b) promoting individual and collective
knowledge in the specific areas of
live performance, commissioning

activities, projects or services
identified in the accounts		 Para 1.17 and 1.19 eavesdropping is an annual series of live
performances and a symposium celebrating
new music, founded by soprano Juliet Fraser in
2017. Its overarching charitable objects are the
advancement of the performing arts,
specifically music, for the public benefit, and the
advancement of the education of the public in
general in the subject of music.

Achievements and Performance

SORP reference
Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a whole		 Para 1.20 Despite the challenges of a global pandemic, the
charity delivered a third season of activity in
full. The series ran over four events (live events
in January & February; online events in March
& April) and the symposium was held over a
weekend (online, 25 & 26 April). As such, the
charity provided much-needed support (artistic
and financial) for the featured artists, a valued
programme of musical activity for the public,
and an informative and stimulating weekend of
discourse for those participating in the
symposium. Feedback was overwhelmingly
positive, testifying to the broad public benefit.

financial position at the end of
