COLLEGIUM LAUREATUM
Collegium Laureatum is a choral society based in Cambridge which welcomes without audition those who want to sing together, to learn music to a high standard for public performance, to prepare concerts for the benefit of the residents of Cambridge and its environs. We include music which is seldom performed, and provide solo opportunities for young trainee singers.
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity ended the financial year with a net income of £3,450.45, resulting in total monies of £19,392.10. The trustees report that reserves are sufficient to continue operations and have increased due to an unexpected rise in audience numbers. However, the charity notes that its survival depends on rebuilding membership, which is adversely affected by broader societal trends.
