Significant events

• “The Monteverdi Choir and Orchestras (MCO) presented a highly-rated sequence of performances in 2024 across the UK and in Continental Europe. Highlights were the Brahms Requiem in Amsterdam, conducted by Dinis Sousa, where the Monteverdi Choir performed with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra to great critical acclaim, coming soon after the Choir were named in the International Oper! Awards 2024 as the Best Choir.”
• “Under Peter Whelan, the Choir and English Baroque Soloists (EBS) performed Handel's Israel in Egypt at St. Martin's in London, Barcelona, Luxembourg, Versailles, Hamburg and Salzburg, a concert rated by one critic as "ineffable and sublime".”
• “The May performances in London and Paris of Beethoven's nine symphonies with the Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique (ORR) under Dinis Sousa were critically rated as outstanding - "this is how to do a Beethoven symphony cycle".”
• “Alongside this full programme, the MCO completed the mentoring of 10 choral apprentices with a final recital in St. Martin's Crypt. Two albums, one of Bruckner and Gesualdo and one of Charpentier, were recorded on our own label, SDG Recordings - which is playing a key role in extending the MCO's international profile.”
• “A new partnership was formed with Trinity Laban to help develop the Conservatoire's historically informed performance activities.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
