Rehearsals for and performances of classical music concerts, in autumn,
at Christmas in spring and summer of season 2021/2022.
It was our50th anniversary season, which we were able to celebrate with
a new commission from Patron Richard Blackford and aconcert, booked
before the pandemic, in the Cadogan Hall. We were able to put on this,
and our autumn and summer concerts successfully, despite the
difficulties caused by Covid.
However we were forced by Covid to cancel our Christmas concert,

We run a bursary scheme — see noted to our 2021 / 2022 accounts — to
support singers with limited means.
For our 2022 / 2023 season, we introduced a "free for introductory term"
initiative, as an additional incentive to younger singers or those with
limited means.
In all the above and our other activities the Trustees have had regard to
the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit.

Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main
achievements of the charity
during the year
Our major achievement was to emerge from the huge problems of the
pandemic, which prevented all Choirs performing over a long period of
time, and to return the Choir to its pre−pandemic status.
We were able to sing together in season 2019/2020 on Zoom,
unsatisfactory though that was, and thereby keep our core membership
together.
On 13 September 2021 we celebrated the retirement of our founder and
Conductor for 49 years Julian Williamson, holding a large party with
presentations and tributes, including a rendering of Zadok the Priest by
many current and former members, as well as supporters.
Julian formally passed the baton to our new Musical Director lestyn
Evans, who had courageously coped with our activities on Zoom!

Haydn's "Awake the Harp", and Mozart's "Laudate Dominum — a coming
together, at our "home" venue, St Mary's Primrose Hill, of Choir and
audience after almost two years inability to perform.
Our Christmas Concert in partnership with Marie Curie, and
Underground Carols for St Mungo's Trust fell victim to resurging Covid.
We had already started rehearsing for our big celebratory 50th
Anniversary concert at the long pre−booked Cadogan Hall, and were
anxious about what 2022 might bring.
On 20 March 2022 we were greatly relieved to have been able to perform
this, consisting of the World Premiere of Richard Blackford's "Babel",
coupled with Brahms's Liebeslieder Waltzes and other works. It was−ah
artistic success, and financially, with the generosity of donations, secure.
On 25th June we had another success with our Summer Music Concert
and Art Exhibition at St Mary's Primrose Hill.
The music celebrated the
