From 2022-01-01 Period start date To 2022-08-31 Period end date Charity name: YORK LATE MUSIC
Charity registration number: 1191812
Objectives and Activities
| SORP reference | ||
|---|---|---|
| Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document |
Para 1.17 | To promote and advance the education of the public by encouraging the understanding, appreciation and development of contemporary classical music and in particular by the promotion of concerts and workshops. |
| Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts. |
Para 1.17 and 1.19 |
Presenting an annual public concert series, lunchtime and evening, featuring primarily 20th and 21st century classical music (ie, contemporary classical), especially from living composers, and including a short educational talk or interview at each evening concert. Running educational workshops for young composers, and presenting a selection of their work in public concerts performed by professional musicians. |
| Statement confirming whether the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit |
Para 1.18 | The benefit arising from the concert series is wider hearing and appreciation of a still-undervalued genre of modern music. The benefit arising from the workshops is enhanced training of young composers by experienced composers, and public presentation and appreciation of their new work. No harm can come of any of these activities. The ultimate beneficiaries of both activities are members of the general public. No private benefit arises from these activities. The benefits are evidenced by good reports in feedback forms returned by the audience, and the enthusiasm of the young composers about the workshops and good attendance at the resulting concerts. |

Achievements and Performance

| 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 | In 2021 the concert series and other activities including workshops were postponed by Covid. Concerts were rescheduled for a 2021/22 season, which took place. We also changed our season dates, to October to June. We have also changed our financial year to match. Audiences had the benefit of the return of live music, hearing new compositions including world premieres, and enhanced appreciation through the educational talks. Their enthusiasm was evident both in conversations and by the response in feedback forms. The student workshops postponed from 2021 finally occurred in 2022, giving encouragement and performance to young composers. |
