Slaithwaite Philharmonic Orchestral Society Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2024

The Slaithwaite Philharmonic Orchestral Society (also known as Slaithwaite Philharmonic Orchestra or simply SPO ) is registered with the Charity Commissioners for England and Wales (No 506840) and is governed by constitution first adopted 14 November 1891 and last revised in September 2016

The address of the correspondent is Felicity Fuller, 4 Moorvale, Marsden HD7 6AG.

General e-mail: info@spo.org.uk Some officer-specific e-mail addresses are also given on our website, www.spo.org.uk , w hich has further information about our activities and future events.

Officers and other committee members are elected by Society members at the Annual General Meeting, held within six months of the financial year-end. At its first committee meeting, the new committee elects a chairman from among its number. The non-voting non-trustee members of the committee are the Patrons' Representative (normally elected by the patrons present at the AGM) and any other co-optees. None are members of the Society and were:-

Objectives, Organisation and Activities

The objectives of the Society are to promote, improve, develop and maintain public education in and appreciation of the art and science of orchestral music in all its aspects by the presentation of public orchestral concerts and recitals and by such other ways as the Society may determine, through its committee. The Society has an Equal Opportunities Policy that is distributed to all members and is available on request. Acceptance of a new member may be dependent upon there being vacancies in the relevant section.

The Society has no employees, all the work involved in running it being performed by volunteers. The management of the Society, and its performances and the control of its finances are vested in the committee, which conducts its business through monthly meetings. Four sub-committees, namely Finance, Programming, Concert Management and Personnel, whose members are drawn from the main committee, meet on an ad hoc basis to assist the main committee in its work. The Society is a member of Making Music (The National Federation of Music Societies) and Huddersfield Arts Council.

The orchestra rehearses at least once a week, with a break of approximately eight weeks in the summer. Currently it performs four ( main) concerts per year in Huddersfield Town Hall, and a number of others elsewhere.

Review of Progress and Achievements

Slaithwaite Philharmonic Orchestra continues to inspire and enthuse both playing members and audiences, at the same time drawing critical acclaim from music industry professionals for its continued high performance standards. The year saw a total of nine concerts presented in different venues which as usual centred around the four concert series in Huddersfield Town Hall. Here alongside three major symphonies (Brahms 2, Mahler 7, Shostakovich 7), a wide variety of music was on offer from the classical favourites of Dvorak and Tchaikovsky to works by more recent composers including a newly commissioned composition by Joe Bloom. The partnership with the excellent choir St Georges Singers was renewed in two well received concerts, one in the Town Hall and the second in Manchester Cathedral performing a challenging programme of music by Scriabin (Poem of Ecstasy), Poulenc (Gloria) and Janacek (Glagolitic Mass).

SPO audiences have now become accustomed to excellent solo performances and this year was no exception. On display were four superb vocalists in the choral concert while Andrew Zolinsky (piano) dazzled with the Tchaikovsky concerto. Underlining another SPO characteristic the season saw outstanding solo performances from within the playing membership. Leader Matthew Chadbond gave an excellent reading of the Barber concerto in April, and a quartet of members sparkled in one of two Civic Hall concerts in a performance of Bach’s 2[nd] Brandenburg Concerto (Matthew Chadbond Violin, Patrick Addinall Trumpet, Trudy Mansfield oboe, Ian Noonan recorder).

In a departure from the usual SPO style and repertoire one of the highlights of the season was a collaboration with rock band Barclay James Harvest with two concerts enthusiastically received by large audiences on consecutive days in Huddersfield Town Hall. Many of the tracks performed were expertly arranged by SPO music director Benjamin Ellin and a DVD audio and visual recoding was made to commemorate the occasion.

The Society continues to be well served by a strong group of volunteer members forming a management committee. Society finances continue to report a healthy position. It must be noted however that the Town Hall series of concerts is only viable due to other concerts and fund-raising activities. Low Town Hall audience numbers remain a concern and is a topic regularly reviewed by the management committee.

Finances

The attached financial statements show the current state of the finances that the committee consider to be sound. The charity's bankers are Lloyds TSB Bank at Slaithwaite, Huddersfield and the charity also has a deposit account with the Charities Official Investment Fund (COIF).

The charity also wholly owns and runs a SPO Productions Ltd, company number 10958201, a vehicle created to facilitate claims under the HMRC Orchestral Tax Relief Scheme, whose bank is Lloyds TSB at Slaithwaite, Huddersfield.
