Going concern

Affirmed

“The Trustees continue actively and regularly to monitor the major risks that the charity may face. They believe that, in common with much of the arts sector, the fundamental financial risks to the company relate to a structural need for multiple funding streams beyond income from artistic events, so as to cover corporate costs and overheads. In the short-term this is mitigated by maintaining resources at levels that will provide sufficient support in the event of adverse conditions or income shortfalls, and regular communication with current and potential donors.”

Significant events

• “This was the 41st concert season for Music at Oxford, and we presented an impressive and varied programme. With 22 events to choose from, it is hard to pick a single highlight, or even a small group, because the quality of every single event was outstanding in its own way.”
• “The most remarkable part of the L&P programme was an innovative project to stage Paul Hindemith's children's opera from the 1930s: Let's Build a Town! in the Olivier Hall.”
• “A very welcome partnership was established in May 2025, when MaO took new offices in the Jacqueline du Pré Music Building (JdP) within St Hilda's College Oxford, with an arrangement that includes use of the concert hall for MaO performances.”
• “A less happy occasion in May 2025 was the departure of our long-standing Chair, Paul Rivers, due to health concerns.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
