Structure, Governance and Management

The Charity, Yorkshire Bach Choir, is constituted as an Association and is governed by a written Constitution.

Trustees are elected by and out of the Society’s members at the Annual General Meeting, and shall hold office for one year and be eligible for re-election.

Objectives and Activities

The objectives of the Choir shall be to educate the public in the arts and sciences, and in particular the art and science of music in the presentation of concerts and other activities.

The main activity undertaken in relation to these objectives is the performance of a series of six concerts each year in York. The Choir sometimes performs additional concerts, particularly in festivals and further afield, including in European countries. YBC has broadcast on television and radio both at home and abroad. The Choir performs a repertoire ranging from Tudor to contemporary music including commissioned works from time to time, but principally focuses on music from the late 16th to early 19th centuries, both unaccompanied and accompanied by players using original (or reproduction) instruments. The Choir uses historical research into performing styles and practices in use at the time of composition as the basis for its own performances.

Achievements and Performance with Regard to Public Benefit

YBC has performed works and activities listed below and in so doing has provided benefit for the public and its members in the advancement of the arts and the advancement of education in accordance with its aims set out above. Concerts are open to anyone subject to the capacity of the concert venue to accommodate audience, musicians and choral performers. Membership of the choir is also open to anyone, and is subject to a satisfactory audition and the balance of voices in the choir as a whole. The choir has an equal opportunities policy and it provides reasonable facilities for disabled people. YBC ticket pricing policy provides reductions to those who may otherwise be unable to benefit, including older people, people under 30, full-time students, as well as the unemployed or those in receipt of benefit. The charity has made provision for accompanied children aged under sixteen to attend free. Membership fees are similarly charged on ability to pay so that full-time students pay approximately one third the fees of a wage-earning member, and the charity has an appeal process in place to consider a reduced fee in individual cases of financial hardship. In 2019/20 YBC awarded bursaries for three student members to receive singing tuition.

Concert Series 2019/2020

Our 41[st] season was sadly curtailed by the national lockdown introduced in March to combat the coronavirus pandemic. By good fortune, we were able to complete the fourth concert, a wonderful performance of the Monteverdi Vespers, just before all concerts ceased nationally. Sadly though we could not give the last two planned concerts, which would have included renaissance settings of the Song of Songs by Victoria, Guerrero, Palestrina, Clemens non Papa and Lassus in May, and music by Handel, Purcell and Blow in June. We hope that it may be possible to give these concerts in a future season.

The concerts we were able to perform were well received and displayed well the strong body of talent that the choir enjoys and the superb musical direction of our conductor, Professor Peter Seymour.

9 November 2019 Bach Family Motets

The Bach dynasty brought great innovation and expression to the motet genre. In this concert, we explored music composed not only by Johann Sebastian but also by members of his considerable musical family, including uncles, cousins and sons. Motets by these ‘other Bachs’ contain some real musical treasures in a surprising range of musical styles. Alongside motets by JS Bach we presented examples from Johann Ludwig Bach, Johann Michael Bach and Johann Bach. All concerts apart from December were performed in St Michael-le-Belfrey church, York.

14 December 2019 Handel Messiah

Yorkshire Bach Choir was joined by an outstanding team of solo singers alongside the energy and skill of Yorkshire Baroque Soloists, our partner early instrument ensemble. Returning to this much loved music with fresh eyes, the performance echoed Handel’s London performances from the last decade of his life, including some rarely heard versions of certain movements. This concert was

performed in association with York Early Music Christmas Festival and took place at the Sir Jack Lyons Concert Hall.

8 February 2020 At the Foot of the Cross

We contemplated the events of Holy Week and of the Crucifixion in music composed in Rome for use in Lenten or Holy Week worship. Victoria’s response to the moving service of Tenebrae is amongst the most atmospheric of the Renaissance. We also performed Palestrina’s exquisite 8-part choral Stabat Mater written for the Sistine Chapel. The same building inspired the dark splendour of Allegri’s renowned Miserere which offers an austere but spine-tingling exploration of penitence.

14 March 2020 Monteverdi 1610 Vespers

Monteverdi’s 1610 Vespers setting is a masterpiece of seventeenth century music, characterised by varied sonorities in its vocal and instrumental writing. We were excited to present Monteverdi’s masterpiece in its most festive version. Monteverdi’s score brings vibrant rhythms and imaginative originality, from the splendour of its grand choruses to the beauty of its solo movements. For this performance we were joined by both Yorkshire Baroque Soloists, and His Majesty’s Sagbutts & Cornetts to provide the unique orchestral and wind colour of Monteverdi’s forces.

YBC found itself in a difficult position in the second half of the year, in common with almost all other creative and performing arts organisations. Government restrictions prevented any form of rehearsal, so that even concerts performed over streaming or other video services were impractical. The Committee met (virtually) on several occasions to discuss whether and how we might resume some activity, but no feasible route was discerned. We hope very much to return to performance during the 2020/2021 season and continually monitor the options open to us, but at the time of writing these are seriously limited.

As shown in the next section of the report, the hiatus in artistic activity has not caused financial problems, largely because our costs have become minimal while some of our income continues. This situation means that we hope to be able to return to performance with a strong programme, as soon as it is possible to do so, and in that way to reward our loyal supporters, to whom we are greatly indebted.

Financial Matters

The balance sheet Statement of Financial Activities shows a net profit for the financial year 2019/20 of over £6000. This is largely accounted for by unanticipated donations in year totalling £4336 (£750 of which is committed to a future performance), and the cessation of concert and rehearsal activity from March 2020 onwards because of the Covid-19 pandemic. It would be unwise to make any judgements about comparative performance against previous seasons because of these unexpected events.

We have continued to explore ways of reducing our running costs, this year finding a new printer for our concert programmes. The full impact of this will not be seen until concert performances start again. This is probably the last area in which significant savings can be made outside of concert

costs. We have introduced a card payment process for use at concerts and for collecting choir subscriptions (using Square, chosen after a long exercise comparing different payment platforms). This move has been welcomed by concert goers and choir members but does come with a small cost (1.75% of each transaction).

The removal of the organ at St Michael-le-Belfrey, where we perform our main series, has allowed us the space to sell interval drinks – another initiative welcomed by concert goers. Again, the full impact of the income from this remains to be seen when performances start again, but the initial assessment of income against costs was promising.

We normally set a budget for the coming season but given the continuing uncertainty about return to performance we have not done so this year. Once it becomes clear when we might be able to prepare for concerts again a budget will be drawn up to guide us through the remainder of the financial year.

Growing other sources of patronage

We continue to grow our income from Friends and received more in 2019/20 than in the previous year. Friends who had set up regular bank payments to the Choir continued with these throughout the financial year, for which we are very grateful. We do not know what the impact of continuing uncertainty over the return to performance will be on Friends’ income in the coming financial year.

Members’ subscriptions

Our subscription levels are considerably lower than those of similar choirs and the Trustees reviewed this policy last year and increased subscription levels by a small amount. However, we remain committed to our policy of discounted membership fees for students and those not in paid employment. In 2019/20 subscriptions represented 14 per cent of total income. We are very grateful to those members who chose to pay the full year’s subscription or did not ask for a refund, even though choir activity ended two-thirds of the way through the season.

Choir Reserve Fund

YBC policy on reserves is that these are limited to a level reasonable to cover any unforeseen loss in future seasons, and to finance the performance of works requiring exceptional resources, future recordings and the commissioning of new or re-edited works, as well as, when necessary, providing funds at the beginning of the season for orchestral fees before ticket revenue has developed.

	year.
Creditors	The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts
