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 are 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 35, 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.

Concert Series 2021/2022

The ending of pandemic-related restrictions on live choral rehearsals and performances in July 2021 allowed the committee to plan a normal season of six concerts, including two major works by J.S. Bach (Mass in B minor and St John Passion). In planning the season, the committee balanced the need for caution in case our audience remained below pre-pandemic levels, with the desire to mark the return of our concert season with some core choral works that would attract a good audience. Risk management was greatly assisted by the increase in the choir’s financial reserves (see later) arising from regular donors continuing to donate during lockdown.

Shortly before the start of the 2021/2 season, the choir’s conductor, Peter Seymour, informed the committee that he would not be available to conduct the planned first concert, Tallis and Byrd, on 30 October 2021, for unanticipated medical reasons. After considering the options, the committee decided that the best solution was to remove the October concert from the season about to he publicised, and to move its programme to 21 May 2022. The programme originally envisaged for 21May, Renaissance settings of the Song of Songs texts, will be held back for a later season. The season then consisted of the following five concerts.

Saturday 11 December 2021: JS Bach, Mass in B minor

Sir Jack Lyons Concert Hall, York. Bethany Seymour, soprano; Helen Charlston, alto; Matthew Long, tenor; Johnny Herford, bass. With Yorkshire Baroque Soloists. Peter Seymour, conductor.

Completed in the final year of Bach’s life, the monumental Mass in B minor is arguably his greatest achievement. The concert, held in association with York Early Music Christmas Festival, attracted a near-capacity audience. We are grateful to Ben Horden for taking some of the rehearsals for this concert.

Saturday 12 February 2022: 20[th] Century Music for Choir and Organ

St Lawrence Parish Church, York. Ben Horden, organ. Peter Seymour, conductor.

This programme explored distinctive 20[th] Century composers who composed uniquely expressive music for choir and organ, including works by Finzi, Leighton, Howells, Shephard and Bairstow.

Saturday 19 March 2022: JS Bach, St John Passion

St Lawrence Parish Church, York. Jonathan Hanley, Evangelist; Frederick Long, Christus. With Yorkshire Baroque Soloists. Peter Seymour, conductor.

The Passio Secundum Johannem may be Bach’s most inherently dramatic passion setting. The playing of the Yorkshire Baroque Soloists was joined by outstanding solo interpreters of the roles of Evangelist and Christus.

Saturday 21 May 2022: Tallis and Byrd

St Lawrence Parish Church, York. Peter Seymour, conductor.

Tallis and Byrd’s Tudor music reflects but also soars above the religious and historical turbulence of its time. Byrd’s setting of the Mass for 4 voices, probably for a covert Catholic audience, is one of the most intensely personal and expressive settings of the period. Motets by both Byrd and Tallis were interspersed in this Mass setting.

Saturday 25 June 2022: A Choral Garland

St Lawrence Parish Church, York. Peter Seymour, conductor.

We closed the season with a celebration of some YBC favourites across several centuries and a range of musical styles, including works by Allegri, Purcell, Tallis, J.S. Bach, Pearsall, Vaughan Williams, Tippett and Duruflé.

Organisation

During the season the committee identified the need for a number of new choir officers, increasing the number of choir members who work with the committee by performing many essential roles. Two new members of the publicity team were given responsibility for social media. An assistant secretary and a subscriptions officer were appointed. The committee hopes to fill further posts, including stewarding coordinator and assistant librarian, in the near future.

Financial Matters

The balance sheet Statement of Financial Activities shows a net loss for the financial year 2021/2022 of just over £5000. This was largely accounted for by lower ticket income than the historic average; the opening concert of the season was cancelled due to ill health and ticket sales for the rest of the season did not return to pre-pandemic levels until the final concert. We also experienced some reduction in Friends income, largely explained by fewer people buying tickets for

the season in advance and, therefore, not adding a Friends donation at the same time. The outturn also reflects inflationary pressures in the economy which led to increased costs across the board but particularly in relation to hall hire.

This level of loss had been anticipated as part of our ‘worst case’ scenario planning when we set the budget for the Season and was sustainable only because the previous season, when we did not perform at all because of the pandemic, led to a net surplus of around £7000.

We have set a modest budget for the coming season in the light of continuing uncertainties about audience size and costs.

Growing other sources of patronage

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 continue our efforts to grow the number of Friends and hope to see a return of donations with ticket purchases in the next season.

Members’ subscriptions

Members subscriptions were at a healthy level; adopting a card reader payment system seems to have helped with timely collection.

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.

The trustees declare that they have approved this report.

2.2 INCOME

Recognition of income These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when: Offsetting Grants and donations Support costs The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs. Volunteer help 2.3 EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES Liability recognition Deferred income Creditors · the charity becomes entitled to the resources; · it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and · the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102. Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS 102 SORP). In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP). Tax reclaims on donations and gifts Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise. Contractual income and performance related grants This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or services or met the performance related conditions. Donated services and facilities Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably. Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the SOFA. The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees’ annual report. Income from interest, royalties and dividends This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can be measured reliably. Income from membership subscriptions Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in Donations and Legacies. Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty. Governance and support costs Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, eg allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage. Grants payable without performance conditions Where there are no conditions attaching to the grant that enables the donor charity to realistically avoid the commitment, a liability for the full funding obligation must be recognised. Income is deferred when it relates to an event which will take place in the next financial year. The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts Basic financial instruments The charity accounts for basic financial instruments on initial recognition as per paragraph 10.7 FRS 102 SORP. Subsequent measurement is as per paragraphs 11.17 to 11.19, FRS 102 SORP.	Yes No N/a	Yes No N/a	Yes No N/a

Note 15 Fair value of assets and liabilities

15.1 Please provide details of the charity's exposure to credit risk (the risk of incurring a loss due to a debtor not paying what is owed) , liquidity risk (the risk of not being able to meet short term financial demands) and market risk (the risk that the value of an investment will fall due to changes in the market) arising from financial instruments to which the charity is exposed at the end of the reporting period and explain how the charity manages those risks.

Liquidity risk low due to cash position being strong and investments being held. All investments held as cash

15.2 Please give details of the amount of change in the fair value of basic financial instruments (debtors, creditors, investments (see section 11, FRS 102 SORP)) measured at fair value through the SoFA that is attributable to changes in credit risk.
