Presentation of concerts and other musical activities to the public. Concerts are prepared to the highest possible standards in relation to the resources available, including an amateur choir trained by professional musicians, and in concerts the use of a professional or accompanists and soloists. Ticket prices are kept modest in order to encourage the maximum number of people to attend, and the income generated is generally well below the cost of production, the difference being met from subscriptions from the charity’s members and other donations. It has been customary also to include in the annual programme a Christmas concert with free entrance and a collection for a local charity.
