The first of such events took place on Saturday 3rd May 2025. It is the plan to stage more musical events at Holy Trinity Church, a venue with wonderful acoustics for the Bluthner piano, as well as choirs and chamber orchestras, in the future.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.
