ABERYSTWYTH MUSICFEST LIMITED 

Annual classical music festival based in Aberystwyth, with associated summer school for able music students and amateurs, together with outreach and participatory activities within Ceredigion.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Accounts have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 3 years and the current period appears to have been extended
