workshops
were restricted to being online
events to 3 primary
schools and a Sue Ryder
home. In November two days of in person
workshops
were undertaken
to six primary
schools to an approx. total of1000pupils.| ||||||Feedback from both the pupils and the schools| ||||||has been extremely
positive.| ||||||The concert programmes
have been arranged| ||||||around
specific themes (e.g. Music in Crisis)| ||||||and conscious decisions were taken
in their| ||||||construction
in order to showcase works| ||||||written
by composers ofdiverse and varied| ||||||backgrounds
in order to be as inclusive as| ||||||possible. Attendees
have, therefore,
been| ||||||exposed to a wide range ofexperiences
which| ||||||has helped to raise awareness ofcomposers| ||||||that were previously
unfamiliar.
Reception has| ||||||been enthusiastic
and whilst audience
size has| ||||||been affected by pandemic
restrictions
and the| ||||||subsequent
caution and suspicion
amongst| ||||||people about gathering
in groups, the low| ||||||pricing oftickets has been well received and| ||||||repeat attendees
demonstrate
both| ||||||enthusiasm
in and accessibility for the| ||||||community.
That concerts have been held,| ||||||mainly,
in local parish churches means that| ||||||BCMF has been able to contribute to local| ||||||communities
financially
through
the hiring of| ||||||these facilities.| ## |inancial
