THE ALVAREZ CHAMBER ORCHESTRA

To promote and encourage an appreciation of contemporary classical music. To organize an annual composition competition for all ages and nationalities with the award of 2 cash prizes and an appraisal of each entry by Dr Alvarez. To arrange public recitals and concerts of contemporary classical music when funds allow.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is completely male
The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period but has stabilised more recently
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
