Larne Choral Society

Public benefits

The members of the general public who benefit are: (1) Those who already have an interest in choral music (2) Those who do not currently have an interest in such music but can gain an appreciation of it through our efforts to expand our repertoire They benefit by having their understanding of this art form increased, by gaining enjoyment

from our performances. There is an indirect and longer term benefit to society in that we are contributing to the continuation of this art form in Larne and keeping it alive for future generations. The benefit is demonstrated by us having frequent and well advertised performances, by normally having large audiences for performances, by getting positive feedback from audience members, and by being recognised by external highly regarded musical bodies(musical festivals) as performing at a high standard. A necessary private benefit exists (education of choir members) but this in turn flows through to higher quality performance and hence increased public benefit. There is no potential harm whatsoever deriving from any of the above activities.
