The orchestra rehearses weekly at Henley College with a professional Musical Director and leader. Concert venues include Christ Church in Henley-on-Thames and the Hexagon in Reading. At least four concerts are given annually. The orchestra gives concerts, by invitation, in Henley’s twin towns of Leichlingen (Germany), Falaise (France) and Bled (Slovenia). ## **Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year** - _In_ _**HSO’s 55[th] season, the years 2024 –25,** the orchestra gave:_ - _Five public concerts in the UK, and_ - _One Open Evening for HSO Friends._ _The orchestra played the following works:_ ## _**Saturday 16[th] November 2024 at 5pm St Mary’s Church, Henley**_ _Blumine from Symphony 1 Mahler Rhapsody Coates_ _**Huw Wiggin Saxophone** Adagietto' from Symphony 5 Mahler Concerto for Oboe (transcribed for Sax) and strings Marcello Symphony no.8 Dvorak_ _**Margarita Mikhailova Conductor**_ ## _**Saturday 14[th] December at 6.30 pm**_ ## _**Christchurch, Henley**_ _Hansel and Gretel Humperdinck Sleeping Beauty: Rose Adagio Tchaikovsky Tsar Sultan Suite op 57 Rimsky-Korsakov Ma Mère l’Oye (Mother Goose) Ravel Sleigh Ride Leroy Anderson Carols_ _**Alexander Walker Conductor**_ 3 _**Sunday 16[th] March, 2025 at 7.00 pm Hexagon, Reading** Fantasy Overture Romeo and Juliet Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto in A minor Grieg_ _**Leon McCawley Piano** Scheherezade Rimsky-Korsakov_ _**David Burton Violin**_ ## _**Hexagon, Reading**_ ## _**Alexander Walker Conductor**_ _**Saturday 28[th] June, 2025 at 7.30 pm St Mary’s Church, Henley** Helios Overture Nielsen Symphony No 7 op. 105 Sibelius Violin Concerto in B minor op 61 Elgar_ _**Alda Dizdari Violin**_ ## _**Alexander Walker Conductor**_ By the beginning of the **2024-25** season, the orchestra had appointed **Alexander Walker** as **HSO Principal Conductor and Music Director** , but prior commitments meant that he could not join HSO until the December concert. So, for the November concert, HSO asked one of the other applicants for the position, **Margarita Mikhailova,** to choose, rehearse and conduct the concert. The orchestra continues to be able to attract soloists of a high calibre. In November 2024 HSO welcomed back **Saxophonist Huw Wiggin** to play Coates’ Rhapsody and Marcello’s Concerto for Oboe (transcribed for Sax) in St Mary’s Church in Henley. In March, 2024, **Leon McCawley** joined the orchestra in the Hexagon in Reading to play Grieg’s Piano Concerto in A minor. In June 2024, **Alda Dizdari** delighted an audience in St Mary’s Church in Henley with her performance of Elgar’s Violin Concerto in B minor op 61. With the changes in conductor, the orchestra has continued to develop and to expand its repertoire and tackle more demanding works. The standard of the playing of the orchestra continues at a high level. The orchestra has travelled several times to Henley’s twin towns in France, Germany and Slovenia, and is planning a visit to Falaise in May 2026. After being **elected Chairman of Henley Symphony Orchestra in November, 2003** , **Judy Whittaker** will be standing down from this role after almost **23 years** at the AGM on Thursday 22[nd] January, 2026. Henley Symphony Orchestra has experienced a number of changes over recent years, especially the restrictions and cancellations caused by COVID, followed by **Ian Brown’s** departure in **June 2022 after 27 years** of his musical direction. It is therefore very gratifying that this change in Chairmanship can take place when the **HSO Principal Conductor and Music Director, Alexander Walker,** is well established and has already conducted 5 successful concerts, when the management of the Society is in the hands of competent and experienced Trustees, and the financial position of the orchestra at the end of its **55[th] season, on 31[st] August, 2025, shows an overall surplus of £19,909.** ## **Financial Review** _Reserves policy:_ To maintain reserves equivalent to one year’s running costs. _Further financial details:_ The accounts of the society for the financial year 2024 / 2025 are appended to this report. 4 ## **Treasurer’s Report** This is the first financial year where the orchestra’s financial year, concert season and membership year align, all starting on 1st September. The previous financial year ran from 1 May 2023 to 31 August 2024, a period of 16 months, and this should be borne in mind when comparing income and expenditure with the current financial year, as the previous ‘year’ is 4 months longer and includes an extra concert. 2024-25 was a very good year financially for the orchestra, with an overall surplus of £19,909. This is due to a number of one-off factors but also better ticket and advertising sales, particularly relating to the Hexagon concert and buoyant sales of advertising in concert programmes, which has replaced the previous Business Friends scheme. Orchestra Tax Relief is hugely significant in this result. The significant one off factors were a much higher than usual gift aid claim, due to a thorough review of donations and collection of new gift aid declarations and some generous individual donations. Last year we also had to include a depreciation cost in the accounts as we had a historic and inaccurate figure for the orchestra fixed assets which needed to be addressed, and we had significant recruitment costs. We should not therefore expect to make such a large surplus every year, but it is very welcome especially with an overseas tour coming up and costs rising every year with inflation. The bulk of the charity’s expenditure is the HSO Productions Ltd (HSOP) Commissioning Fee. HSOP is a company set up by the orchestra with two committee members as directors to take advantage of the Orchestra Tax Relief (OTR) scheme. This allows the orchestra to claim a tax credit on eligible expenditure – anything involved in rehearsing / preparing for a concert but not the concert itself. The tax credit was temporarily increased from 25% to 50% during the pandemic and this has been hugely beneficial for the orchestra. Lobbying from organisations including Making Music has succeeded in increasing the permanent rate to 45% from April 2025 which will have a significant and lasting impact on the orchestra’s finances. The total cost paid by HSOP for putting on our 2024-25 concert season was £43,772.47, but orchestra tax relief means the orchestra only paid HSOP a commissioning fee of £31,920.35, and the remaining £11,852.12 was paid by HMRC in the form of tax relief. (These figures are still estimated at this point, because Making Music who prepare the HSOP accounts and submit the OTR claim have not yet completed this work.) A breakdown of income and expenditure, including OTR, for each of the 2024-25 season concerts and the corresponding figures for the previous year’s concert follows the accounts. These do not form part of the charity’s formal accounts, but are included to provide additional detail on the charity’s activities. As ever, the orchestra is grateful to its many supporters and Friends who attend our concerts as well as providing financial support.

## **Notes to the accounts** The charity amended its financial year in 2024, so that the financial year would align with the orchestra's concert season and membership year which starts on 1st September. The comparison period for these accounts is therefore 16 months long as this was the transitional year 2023-24. This difference in length should be borne in mind when comparing with the previous year's figures. ## **1. Other sales** Media sales on behalf of performing artists and payment for audience transport to concerts outside Henley. ## **2. Gift Aid** A review of all gift aid declarations and donations was carried out in 2025, and additional declarations were obtained from eligble donors. As a result a larger claim was possible covering the previous 4 tax years. The 2025 figure includes interest paid by HMRC. ## **3. HSOP Commissioning Fee** This includes the costs of producing the year's concerts including rehearsal costs, less the orchestral tax relief claimed. Costs of production 2024-25: £43,772.47, broken down as commissioning fee £31,920.35, OTR £11,852.12. (2023-24 figures: £53,324.15, broken down as commissioning fee £38,647.55, OTR £14,676.60.) The 2025 commissioning fee includes a charge from Making Music which has not been finalised at the date that these accounts are presented. The total charge is not expected to be materially different, and will be reflected in the HSO loan to HSOP. ## **4. Depreciation** The orchestra's fixed assets had not been revalued for a number of years. This depreciation expense represents the difference in value between the historic figure and the estimated value of the assets at 31st August 2024. The value of the fixed assets at 31 August 2025 is not believed to be materially different to the value at 31 August 2024. ## **5. General expenditure / restricted fund** The small surplus collected from members relating to the orchestra party in 2022 is held as a restricted fund for the benefit of HSO members. £12.14 of the General Expenditure in the current financial year was spent from this restricted fund, leaving a balance of £133.18 in the restricted fund at 31 August 2025. ## **6. Marketing Costs** Marketing costs including concert advertising and website are paid by the parent charity HSO rather than the production company, so that they can be zero-rated for VAT, as this VAT relief is not available to the production company. Open Evening costs are also included here. 6 **Balance Sheet - Henley Symphony Orchestra** As at 31 August 2025 **----- Start of picture text -----**
