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	The Festival presented six concerts of outstandingly high quality, with varied programmes of popular favourites combined with exquisite yet little known works, as was exemplified by the opening concert which headlined Vivaldi’s_Four Seasons_, interspersed with works by MacMillan, Caroline Shaw, Lili Boulanger, and Arvo Pärt. The_Music in the Gardens_event engaged visitors to Enys Gardens who may not have particularly sought out classical music, but were able to enjoy it as they wandered through the Gardens. The Grand Finale, held in King Charles the Martyr Church in Falmouth, was a magnificent ending to the Festival, and was sold out.
