The Trustees, having been initially invited because of their prior experience in management, education or the classical music world, recruit as a body any further trustees required. 1) Charity’s work Preparing for and performing chamber music concerts for the annual Festival - In the year of 2023 the performances were as follows: One concert on Friday March 24th, one on Saturday 25th and two concerts, one early and one late afternoon, on Sunday 26[th] March. There was also a “Friends’” concert in December 2022 as a thank you to the Friends for supporting the Festival. All concerts were 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. This introduces classical music, with associated fun activities, to children perhaps for the first time. This has been highly successful and all schools have asked for a return visit. 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. Outreach performances will be increased in 2023/24 as we have received a generous grant from the Waterloo Foundation (received summer 2023) ## 2)Where the money is from First and foremost from sponsors large and small. Private individuals and local associations. 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, Hire-fee to the church towards the cost of heating and lighting. We gave four performances and averaged an attendance of one hundred audience members per concert and just covered our costs. Publicity was via regular Facebook posts. Posters, fliers and word of mouth. The large number of “friends” of the festival pay £30 a year for a couple and are invited to a free concert and drinks event near Christmas. The support from this both financially and personally is very worthwhile. Sally Tarlton - Secretary on behalf of the Trustees |**LLANTWIT MAJOR CHAMBER MUSIC FESTIVAL Charity number**
