## The Highgate Choral Society trustees’ report 2021/22 ## **Charitable objects** The objects of the CIO are the advancement of arts and culture, and in particular the art and culture of music, by the presentation of concerts and other ancillary activities. The charity pursues its objects principally through holding public concerts, but we also undertake additional activities to support our local community and engage with other charities and schools in our area. The trustees of the charity are aware of the general guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit. They have regard to this guidance in deciding what activities the charity should undertake. ## **Constitution** Highgate Choral Society is registered as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) with the Charity Commissioners under charity registration number 1191240 since 11[th] September 2020. The trustees of the new CIO continued to administrate the old Highgate Choral Society charity (registration number 265651) alongside the new CIO until the AGMs of both charities which took place on Monday, 21[st] February 2022. At the AGM of old HCS, members of the choir voted for its dissolution which was duly registered with the Charity Commissioners. ## **Musical activities** After the various lockdowns which meant that HCS members had to rehearse and perform concerts online, it was a joy to be able to meet up live at the start of our 2021/22 season. The season had its ups and downs – an outbreak of Covid among choir members in March 2022 almost saw our second attempt to sing the Bruckner Mass cancelled yet again – but looking back, it was a truly enjoyable year. As well as our usual five concerts which we performed at All Hallows’ Church in Gospel Oak and St Michael’s Church, Highgate, HCS also held a weekend choral workshop at Benslow Music in Hitchin, Hertfordshire, and the choir also sang in a number of concerts in Central London for commercial promoter, Raymond Gubbay. As is the choir’s wont, our repertoire over the year included a mix of popular choral works and lesser known pieces. We also premiered two choral pieces: one, _Songs from the Temple_ , was commissioned by the choir from upcoming composer Christopher Hussey; the other was a piece, _Nothing can be Beautiful_ _Which is not True_ , composed by our musical director, Ronald Corp OBE, in memory of Alf Mignano, a long-time supporter of the choir. We are particularly grateful to Ron – as always – for his enthusiasm and inspirational musical direction over the year. We all benefit from his programme selections and from his insights into the works we perform, both during rehearsals and in his pre-concert talks for our audiences, and also for his pre-recorded “Ron talks” which we make available to the wider public on our website (www.hcschoir.com) ahead of our concerts. Ron celebrated his 70[th] birthday in January 2021 and, in honour of the occasion, members of the choir contributed to the cost of commissioning a portrait of him. The artist chosen, Tim Benson, is vice president of the Royal Institute of Oil Painters and a one-time member of the New London Children’s Choir which Ron founded in 1991. Our first concert of the 2021/22 season – and our first since December 2019 – was held on Saturday, 13[th] November 2021 at All Hallows’ Church, Gospel Oak. We sang Verdi’s _Requiem_ , a choral tour de force which we thought was most fitting for HCS and its supporters to celebrate our long-anticipated return to live performance. We were joined by four young soloists – soprano Anita Watson, mezzo soprano Samantha Price, tenor Frederick Jones and baritone Stephen Gadd. Ron conducted the choir and the New London Orchestra. Verdi’s _Requiem_ is a setting of the Catholic funeral mass in seven movements scored for double choir, solo quartet and large orchestra. It was composed in honour of the memory of the Italian poet and novelist Alessandro Manzoni, whom Verdi greatly admired and who, like Verdi, was a leader in the Risorgimento, the cultural and political movement for Italian independence and unification. The first performance, conducted by Verdi himself, was given in the church of San Marco in Milan on the first anniversary of Manzoni’s death, 22 May 1874, and it received immediate acclaim. A second performance, also conducted by Verdi, followed three days later at La Scala in Milan. Our second concert, on Saturday, 4[th] December 2021, was our ever-popular sell-out Family Carols where we sing together with two local children’s choirs – the New London Children’s Choir and the choir of St Michael’s Church of England Primary School, Highgate. Both choirs performed with great enthusiasm and their contribution was much enjoyed by everyone. At the end of the concert, we held a bucket collection for two charities – the Sanktus Project and the Camden Music Trust – which raised around £800. We were extraordinarily lucky to have been able to hold the concert, as it turned out. Ten days later and we were back in lockdown again. Our March concert was the one that almost didn’t take place. Although the lockdown had been lifted in time for us to rehearse Bruckner’s _Mass in E minor_ , despite all our precautions and social distancing rules, our last rehearsal before the concert became a superspreader event. What had started as a 130strong choir was reduced over the next five days by more than a half. After some hurried consultations with Ron and fellow trustees, we decided to bite the bullet and go ahead with the concert and it turned out to be the right decision. Our audience gave us a standing ovation. The concert, which took place on Saturday, 12[th] March 2022 at All Hallows, was dedicated to the memory of Carolyn Pascal, our former general manager, who died unexpectedly in January 2020. It also saw the première of a new work by Ron, _Nothing Can be Beautiful which is not True_ , composed in memory of HCS supporter and art lover Alfred Mignano. This was inspired by the writings of art critic John Ruskin and marked the 200[th] anniversary of his birth. We also sang Bruckner’s _Ecce Sacerdos Magnus_ and Fauré’s _Cantique de Jean Racine_ . We opened the concert by playing the Ukrainian national anthem and at the end we held a bucket collection for the DEC Ukrainian Appeal which raised £1,141. Moving on to our fourth concert which took place on Saturday, 21[st] May 2022 at St Michael’s, Highgate, we sang a mix of English and French songs including that perennial choral favourite, Fauré’s _Requiem_ . This was followed by Ralph Vaughan Williams’ _Five Mystical Songs_ and settings of celebrated poems by the 17[th] century Anglican priest, George Herbert. We also premièred a new piece, _Songs from the Temple_ , which HCS had commissioned from Christopher Hussey. For the concert, we were joined by organist Edward Batting and soloists Iúnó Connolly (soprano) and Jacobo Ochoa (baritone). Our last concert of the season, which took place at All Hallows on Saturday, 9[th] July 2022, was Haydn’s choral masterpiece, _The Creation_ . Scored for soprano, tenor and bass soloists, mixed chorus and large orchestra, The Creation is in three parts: following the orchestral ‘representation of chaos’, Part One depicts the creation of light, heaven and earth, land and water, and plants; Part Two describes the creation of animals, and man and woman; and Part Three portrays Adam and Eve and their idealised love in the Garden of Eden. The soloists represent the angels Gabriel (soprano), Uriel (tenor) and Raphael (bass), who narrate and comment on the six successive days of creation; while in Part Three the soprano and baritone take the roles of Adam and Eve. For each day of creation, the musical scheme comprises a narrative drawing on Authorised Version biblical texts from Genesis, a commentary in more poetic language drawing on Milton’s _Paradise Lost_ , and choral paeans using paraphrases from the psalms. For this final concert, we were joined by three wonderful young singers from the English National Opera’s Harewood Scheme: soprano Alexandra Oomens; tenor William Morgan; and bass William Thomas. The Harewood Scheme gives talented, young singers the opportunity to receive coaching and support from ENO while they are making their way into the world of opera and classical music in general, and we are indebted to Graham Brookman for his generosity in sponsoring our three soloists. Overall, audience attendance was on a par with recent years. This was a very pleasing result, given the lingering concerns about picking up covid and other viruses at large scale events. ## **Governance** The administration of the charity is the responsibility of the trustees who are all unpaid members of the charity elected by its members in accordance with the constitution. The trustees all resigned, as required by the constitution, at the 2022 AGM on 21st February 2022 February and several were subsequently reappointed. From our next AGM the annual cycle of elections will commence and the third most long-standing trustees will retire each year, remaining eligible to be re-elected for two further terms of three years. At the last AGM, two of our long-standing trustees – Hilary Henderson and Robert Sumerling – stood down and I would like to thank them once again for their hard work and dedication to the choir. Five new trustees – Rachel Ambrose, Charlotte Goss, Ashitey Ollennu, Andrea Sabbadini and Cindy Walters – were elected to the board, bringing the number of trustees to 14. The trustees meet regularly among themselves and also with our music director. Our music director is not a member of the committee but is invited to attend its meetings. Since the start of the 2021/22 season, the trustees have met both in reality and virtually and often as a mix. In addition to future musical plans, the trustees considered: the financial position of the charity; the approval of the budget and season plan; reviews of membership; and operational risks. We also discussed the future of the HCS Friends’ Scheme which we are seeking to rejuvenate. ## **Membership** When we started meeting for live rehearsals in September 2021, our membership numbers were down by around 14%, largely due to those more vulnerable among us wishing to stay protected during the latter stages of the pandemic. But by the end of the year we were only about 5% down on previous strength and we continue to build steadily back to previous numbers. While some older members have not renewed, we have been joined by an encouraging number of new singers. ## **Finance** As noted above, the old HCS has now been dissolved and all financial matters for the year were run through the new Highgate Choral Society CIO. The result for the year was a loss of £6,111, a good result considering the uncertainty with which we started the year in terms of membership numbers and potential audiences immediately post-Covid, and testament to the wisdom of carrying a healthy reserve enabling us to take appropriate risks with our forward programme planning. We carry forward at the end of the year general funds of £45,321 and a commissioning fund of £13,881. ## **Independent examiner** We are very grateful to chartered accountant Richard Morris, our independent examiner, for all the support and advice he has given us over the year. ## **Conclusion** We have ended our first year post lockdown and the transition from old HCS to the CIO in a strong position, with money in the bank and a thriving membership. We sang some great music to very appreciative audiences in the aftermath of Covid and were delighted by our ability – and theirs – to bounce back. This is my last AGM as your chair. After 13 years as a trustee, of which the last five were as chair, I will be standing down and returning to the back benches of the alto 2s along with Andrea Sylvester (HCS’s general manager who joined the committee at the same time I did), Siobhan D’Gama (HCS’s membership secretary), Andrea Sabbadini and Cindy Walters (general trustee). I would like to take this opportunity to thank all four in particular – and my fellow trustees in general – for everything they have done and continue to do for this great choir. **Julia Irvine Chair Highgate Choral Society 23rd March 2023** Highgate Choral Society Charity Nº 1191240 Annual accounts for the period 1st September 2021 to 31st August 2022 ## **Section A Statement of financial activities** ## **Draft 10/11/2022 General Funds** **Designated Total Commissionin Total Funds g Fund Funds Last Year** ## _**Income**_ **----- Start of picture text -----**

• the charity becomes entitled to the resources;
• it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and
• the monetary value can be measured with sufcient reliability.
There has been no ofsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or
permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102.
Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition
criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP).
In the case of performance related grants, income is only recognised to the extent that
the charity has provided the specifed goods or services as entitlement to the grant only
occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP).
Legacies are included in the SOFA when received and any conditions attached to the
legacy are either within the control of the charity or have been met.
**Tax reclaims on**
**donations and gifts**
Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor.
Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is
treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the
terms of the appeal have specifed otherwise.
**Contractual income and**
**performance related**
**grants**
This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or
services or met the performance related conditions.
Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be
exchanged) unless impractical to do so.
The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to benefciaries is deemed to be
the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on
receipt. In the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised
as an expense at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution.
Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the
expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income
from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance
sheet. On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading
activities' and the proceeds from sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading
activities'.
Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fxed assets
and included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable.
Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations
when receivable.
**Donated services and**
**facilities**
Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of the
gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably.
Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income
with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in
the SOFA.
The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described
in the trustees’ annual report.
**Income from interest,**
**royalties and dividends**
**Income from membership**
**subscriptions**
Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in Membership
Subscriptions.
Membership subscriptions which gives a member the right to buy services or other
benefts are recognised as income earned from the provision of goods and services as
income from charitable activities.
**Settlement of insurance**
**claims**
Insurance claims are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition
criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP) and are included as an item of other income
in the SoFA.

**costs**|
Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support.
Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its

recognised.| |**Redundancy cost**|The charity made no redundancy payments during the reporting period.| |**Deferred income**|No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts.| |**Creditors**|The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade

scientifc, technological, geophysical or environmental qualities that are held and| ||maintained principally for their contribution to knowledge and culture. The depreciation
rates and methods used as disclosed in note 14| ||They are valued at cost.| |**Investments**|Fixed asset investments in quoted shares, traded bonds and similar investments are| ||valued at initially at cost and subsequently at fair value (their market value) at the year| ||end. The same treatment is applied to unlisted investments unless fair value cannot be
measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment.| ||Investments held for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a| ||maturity date of less than 1 year are treated as current asset investments| |**Stocks and work in**|Stocks held for sale as part of non-charitable trade are measured at the lower or cost or net| |**progress**|realisable value.| ||Goods or services provided as part of a charitable activity are measured at net realisable value| ||based on the service potential provided by items of stock.| ||Work in progress is valued at cost less any foreseeable loss that is likely to occur on the contract.| ||Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition at| |**Debtors**|settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the charity. Subsequently,
they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received.| |**Current asset**|The charity has investments which it holds for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash
equivalents with a maturity date less than one year. These include cash on deposit and cash| |**investments**|equivalents with a maturity date of less than one year held for investment purposes rather than| ||to meet short term cash commitments as they fall due.| They are valued at fair value except where they qualify as basic financial instruments. **----- Start of picture text -----**
