  • 87% of all groups engaged soloists We asked for an average over the last three years, excluding expenses.
  • Fees refer to concert including one rehearsal.
  • For ‘central range’ definition, please see "Definitions: 'professional; 'central range'" above.
  • There are payments which fall well outside the norm and which we have excluded, for instance one member who had raised funding for an exceptional soloist to perform with them, at a cost of £20,000.
