1) Charity’s work
Preparing for and performing chamber music concerts for the annual Festival - this year one concert on Friday March 24th, one on Saturday 25th and two concerts, one early and one late afternoon, on Sunday 26[th] March.
All held in St Illtud’s Church, Llantwit Major, by kind permission of the Rector, Reverend Canon Edwin Counsell. Also ‘Outreach’ concerts at three schools in the Llantwit Major environs, on Thursday 23[rd] March.
The benefit to the community is for them to be able to hear live performances of the classical chamber music repertoire, at a very high level, for a very reasonable cost.
2)Where the money is from
First and foremost from sponsors large and small. Also ticket sales and “Friends” of the Festival.
3) Where the money has gone
Fees and travel expenses for the eight performers, as well as feeding them over the eight days that they were resident in the area. Accommodation was provided by volunteer hosts.
Costs were also involved with Publicity, Programme Printing, Ticket Printing, Piano Hiring and Tuning and Heating and Lighting in the Church.
We gave four performances and averaged an attendance of one hundred audience members per concert and just covered our costs.
AJ Tarlton - Treasurer on behalf of the Trustees
