MUSICA SECRETA

The charity fulfils its purposes through giving concerts, making recordings and running workshops. Where possible , amateur choirs are invited to be involved in performances. The charity also engages in primary trading through its website, selling scores and CDs. The website is also used to distribute free scores and advice to choirs wishing to develop experience in singing female-voice polyphony.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received Government grants

Financial issues to consider:

  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
