Achievements and Performance

SORP reference

	Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identfying the diference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its benefciaries and any wider benefts to society as a whole.	Para 1.20	The Society’s 89th season was the tenth under the guidance of our conductor Michael Cayton and the third full season under the leadership of Chair Pam Allanson. The Society presented four choral concerts and a separate orchestral concert: 28th October 2023 at the Grand Hall, Bushey: The Society performed two works by Vaughan Williams – Five Mystcal Songs and Dona Nobis Pacem – alongside two works by Brahms: Geistliches Lied and the Academic Festval Overture. This was a challenging programme requiring both choir and orchestra to be on top form. The soloists were soprano Emily Rowley-Jones, in fne voice, and baritone Gabriel Gotlieb, making his debut with the Society. The programme was completed by a stunning performance of the Bruch Violin Concerto No.1 given by 17-year old Danielle Lee on herprofessional debut.

16th December 2023 at the Grand Hall, Bushey: The annual Christmas concert featured the usual festive programme, in front of a capacity audience of almost 300. The soloist was baritone Gabriel Gottlieb, who gallantly stood in as a late replacement. Once again, the wood-panelled Grand Hall provided an intimate and atmospheric setting for the occasion. 23rd March 2024 at the Grand Hall, Bushey: The Society took on the challenge of performing one of the major works of the choral canon, Mendelssohn’s Elijah. Singing the part of Elijah, baritone Thom Isherwood made an outstanding debut with the Society and was well supported by fellow debutants Victoria Mulley and Caroline Carragher, along with the returning Matthew Pochin. The concert marked the final performances by two of the Society’s most loyal and popular members – Rehearsal Accompanist Rosemary Venner and her husband and tenor/bass stalwart Tim. 1st June 2024 at St Luke’s Church. Watford: The Orchestra presented an ambitious programme in front of an enthusiastic audience of over 120, starting with the Shostakovich Festival Overture and finishing with Brahms’ Second Symphony. In between, the orchestra was joined by soprano soloist Milly Forrest to sing the Four Last Songs by Strauss. Milly, a great favourite with the Society, combined pathos with power in a moving performance that was much appreciated. 29th June 2024 at the Grand Hall, Bushey: For the Summer concert, the Society invited the audience to A Night on Broadway and the chance to enjoy a programme of popular songs from such shows as The Phantom of the Opera, Carousel, West Side Story and My Fair Lady, plus a selection of songs by Stephen Sondheim. Soprano Helena Raeburn sang some less familiar solos. The Society’s new Rehearsal Accompanist Mark Hammond made an accomplished concert debut alongside percussionist James Pickford and bass player Sam Pugh. The Watford Phil Voices – a small auditioned “chamber” group – made their debut at the Bushey Performing Arts Festival on 9th June. Workshops: Members of the choir took part in a series of pre-concert Workshops to enhance their concert performances and increase their musical confidence . Social events: a successful Christmas social evening was held on 18th December.

Financial Review

Review of the charity’s fnancial positon at the end of the period	Para 1.21	ConcertsTicket Sales at Bushey Academy have been very good with full/greater than budgeted capacities for all concerts with the exception of a slightly lesser number for the Autumn Choir concert. Audience numbers for the Summer Orchestra concert at St Lukes were a healthy 126. The costs that are required to productive attractive concerts with rich concent continue to be rigourously controlled by everyone responsible. Primary challenges are increased musician and soloist fees that need to be honoured and paid in line with recognised market rates for our level of musicianship. The financial year has resulted in a lower than budgeted overall Concert Net Cost of £2,782 (2022/23: £6,986). The average concert saving across the five concerts was £556 better than budget. Compared to the previous Watford Colleseum days, the challenges of balancing the reduced income capacity that the Academy lends compared to the Colloseum against increasing costs continue to be rigourosly addressed and reviewed but we are well placed with enthusiasm as we go into the 2024-25 season. Continued thanks go to all those involved in working together in many aspects leading up to concert day, including rehearsals, advertising, ticketing, programme sales, and setting up facilities (including staging) on the day.
		Rehearsal CostsTotal rehearsal costs were over budget by £579 (2022/23: £1,466). There has been an overall closer (more favourable) match to the budgeted spend as the choir experiance its first full year of rehearsal at St.Lukes Church, Watford after its move from Watford Girls' Grammar School (WGGS) in Spring 2023. Usage rates at the church are more competitive compared to WGGS and we look forward to continuing our pleasant working relationship with the church.

	As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”). I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: • the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or • the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or • the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended 31/07/2024
