## **Annual Report 2023-2024** 

## **Membership:** 

Our membership remained steady at just over 60 people, with new members joining to replace those who had left for various reasons. **Concerts:** 

LCS presented two concerts during the period. In December 2023 the concert was entitled _Sotto il Maestro_ and included works by Antonio Salieri and three of his students: Schubert, Beethoven and Liszt. In June 2024 the choir performed Rossini’s Petite Messe Solonelle. Both concerts were held in St Laurence’s Church, Ludlow. 

## **Activities:** 

LCS members met weekly for rehearsals during term time. The committee met regularly, on occasions with the Music Director. 

The choir held a Christmas social event at the Ludlow Brewery, a quiz evening, and a summer garden party at the home of a member. 

We took a market stall on two occasions to raise funds for the Society, and to raise awareness of our activities. 

Members also sang at Ludlow Castle for the Winter Festival **Highlights:** 

As always, our concerts, being the main reason for our existence, were the highlights of the year. 

## **Supporters:** 

The Society is grateful for the support it receives from volunteers, audience members, and others. The society is also grateful to our Music Director and Deputy Music Director, who have continued to share their consummate professionalism with the Society.
