Achievements and Performance

SORP reference
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 this first full season of Bridegpoint
Music’s activities, an ambitious and
expensive season was planned, with, in
this financial period, six concerts. This
included the first orchestral concert
with 17 musicians on stage. In addition
to this the charity staged an Opera Gala
concert in July 2022 with four singers
and a string quintet accompanying
them.
The other concerts in the period were:
24 Sep Mendelssohn D minor violin
concerto with Mathilde Milwidsky;
20 November Flute recital with
Katherine Baker;
11 February Brahms and Barlow String
Quartets
18 March Ravel Septet for winds and
strings
29 April Narrated piano recital with
Jessica Duchen.
In addition to the concerts, the other
main branch of the charity’s activites,
the string school for young people went
from strength to strength, following the
move to a Monday evening in
Benenden, Kent. The group finished the
period with 14 members, from age 8-13
and undertook two concerts and an
appearance at the Benenden Village
Fete in June.
It is the aim of the Trustees to
encourage more children from state
schools, who have limited access to
musical experiences to join. At the time
of writing, the group has 21% non-
independent school representation.
