Achlevements and perforn)anGe During 2023, 48 indoor chamber music concerts and 6 symphonic concerts were organized at La Mortella, IsGhia. The Chamber music concerts included fv40 perfO￿anceS of the ensemble that was awarded the William Watton Scholarship, narnely the Trio Sechter. and ensembl8 that was fOrn￿d at the Fiesole School of Music in 2022. bringing together three friends united by their passion for chamber music.

In the spring, Te Deum by William Wa￿On was performed during the coronation, which led to a surge in press inte￿$t, with interviews and special reports. Wamon's music was also performed during the Proms (Violin Concerto, 1 st Symphony and Belshazzar's Feast that was also broadcast on BBC). Just like in the past years, in the course of 2023 It was confirmed that the William Wa￿on La Mortella Tnjst and the William Walton Trusvs adivities in the field of music in general, and in Ihe management of the Walton Museum and Archive, completely overfap, to the point that Ihere is no distinction ba￿een the two chadties in thls respect. Therefore, the Trustees, that are the same for both charities, decided to investigate about the possibilty of seeking a merger bemeen the two, as they believe that untfying Ihe organizations will simplfy the adminislrdtion and make it easEr to pursue their shar8d charitable purposes.
