The company is a performing arts and education company reigniting the historical practice of Baroque Gesture (a specific type of acting which has been mostly lost in the evolution of classical music performance over the last century). We began operating in November 2022 and during the financial year of Nov 2023 - Nov 2024 the company has benefitted several local communities around the U.K. and has continued to provide much-needed employment to freelance musicians and other creatives. - Local audiences in the Kent (Stour) area enjoyed a performance of Handel’s Orlando in June 2024 as part of the Stour Early Music Festival, with an audience size of approximately 200 people. - Local audiences in Wales enjoyed a performance of Handel’s Orlando at the Beaumaris Festival in May 2024, where Liberata Collective also presented a pre-performance talk. The talk was very well attended, and festival organisers remarked that it was one of the most well-attended talks of the festival. Due to the overwhelmingly positive feedback, Liberata Collective has been invited back to Beaumaris Festival in 2025 to perform its new opera. - LC specifically targeted these areas of the U.K. for their performances to bring Baroque Gesture to new audiences in the South East and Wales. - Company co-directors Susanna MacRae and Olivia Doutney continued to boost knowledge about Baroque Gesture among the classical music community, contributing to audience engagement through talks and performances. - LC provided contract employment to 12 musicians during the 2024 Festival period, offering fair wages along with accommodation and travel expenses.
The company’s stakeholders remain the same as last year, these are musicians, creatives, venue staff, festival staff and audiences who may either participate in or observe performances given by Liberata Collective. The directors of the company have been professional musicians for over 10 years and have developed the business model based on what they see is often missing in the classical music industry. We continue to ask audiences to submit their feedback to performances, to sign up to newsletters and to contact us with ideas. We consult with professional bodies such as the ISM to ensure fair treatment of our musicians. Our research has enabled us to identify materials that are useful to audiences and contracts which are beneficial to the musicians. We held one open “Q&A” session during the year to gather feedback from stakeholders (audiences). This was held in Beaumaris and gave us valuable feedback.
