TRUSTEES'

ANNUAL REPORT

for 2001

Wendover Music again staged four concerts for the 2001 season, on Saturday evenings in April, May, June and July at St Mary's Church in Wendover. The artist programme for the season was:

April 07th

Freddy Kempf (piano)
May 12th

Cardinall's Musick
June 09th

Emperor String Quartet
July 07th

City of London Sinfonia

Each year Wendover Music seeks to encourage young artists and devotes one concert to this aim; this season Wendover Music supported young artists in both the first and third concerts.

Programmes included contemporary works alongside standard repertoire.

A total of 715 seats were sold; this figure includes 98 season tickets (from which Wendover Music derives its membership), and this was very slightly lower than the total for 2000. The mailing list continues to grow.

For the Annual General Meeting, which took place on 03rd March and was attended by 51 members and spouses, members welcomed Margaret Knight, who gave a delightful entertainment of harp music and songs.

There were six committee meetings throughout the year. The ongoing season was planned logistically; a questionnaire distributed at concerts was discussed and the following season's concert programme was planned as well. The committee also discussed ways of searching for sponsorship and grants. To this end, a musical evening was arranged on the 24th August, to which helpers and past sponsors were invited; pianists Simon Crawford-Phillips and Philip Moore, supported by the Countess of Munster Musical Trust, gave a recital.

Wendover Music relied greatly on time and skills voluntary given from the members of the executive committee and those, such as the stewards, involved in the smooth running of the concerts themselves.

The trustees have approved the trustees' report above.
