The artiwties of the chartty are: Regular choir rehearsals- Presenting choral concerts. There are no major changes in the aims and organisation to rep)rtthis year. C Review of progress and achI￿eMa From April to September 2021 the choir continued to meeting virtually and although numbers remained consistently between 20-30 members, duringthattime, everyone feltthe frustrating sltuation and rt was a huge relief to return 'ln Person. in September. Numbers were certainly depleted as many decided to wait until the virus was less dominant. and despite the boost of a potentially successful Messiah concert in December. The committee decided to restrirtthe cOn￿rt prograrnme until the situation settled down. The New Year concert was cancelled in viav of poor choir numbers available and the re-opening of Hall for Cornwall in Truro where a large scale New Year production was scheduled for the day after New Year. The Spring programme was changed to Haydn Nelson Mass whith had been rehearsed 'On-line' so was partially prepared. The following con￿rtS were performed: 11-12-2021 A Concert in Truro Cathedral consisting ot. George Frideric Handel- The Messiah The a)oir were joined by pupils from Truro School arKI Truro High School, Soloists Katherine Gregory- Soprano, Louise Mott- Mezztrsoprano. Joe Deery-Tenor and Charlie Murray- Bas5 With Truro Symphony Orchestra- Leader Mikhail Vichniakov The conductor was Martin Palmer. 12-03-2022 A cOn￿rt in Truro Cathedral consisting ofr. Joseph Haydn- Nelson Mass G F Handel- Zadok the Priest W A Mozart- Piano Concerto No 25 in C Major{K5031 The Choir was joined by Singers from Truro School Chamber Choir, and accompanied by Truro Symphony Orchestra Leader Philip Montgomery-smith and soloists (heryl Rosevear {Sopranol, Rebecca Squire (Aitol, Mark Hounsell (Tenor). and rim Mirfin (Bass). The Piano Concerto Was perfomied by Stella Pendrous and the conductor was Martin Palmer. The usual involvement of student musictans from local and regional sd)ools was not possible while the health situation was still uncertain, but the society considered this a temporary scenario and hope to engage further with choral and classical music education and offer children and young people a great OPFK)rtunityto participate in a large perforniance. in the future. The major focus for the year 2022-23 is to start a publiaty campaign for rebuilding membership. Numbers dropped significantly due to having Stopped inyrson rehearsals and concerts for 17 months. Many members decided that this was the time to retire. so renewal is a very important aim. D. Review of financial activltles and affairs After a year with no Con￿rtS, a significant amount from subscriptions continued to come in. Many members were anxious to support The Society, despite rehearsals and concerts not being possible. It was. therefore. very encouraging to start preparing for the De￿mber cOTr￿rt with a healthy bank balance. Despite the increases in all costs for venue hire, soloists etc, the year ended wtth an over311 balance of almost £15,000 increase, which will stsnd well until the choir rebuilds membership and is in a posÉtion to attempt more ambitious progrnmmes. The subsuiption remained at £140 per annum from September 2021. The constitution was amended on 29-06-2021 to allow for an 'on4ine' AGM via an internet platform should this be necessary.
