No 1 to make the first professional full set of recordings of the original Viennese/Bohemian Oboe Trios - these recordings will be used to to help bring publicity to the Lonarc Foundation to help further its aims and projects for education workshops that also would involve the Lonarc Wind Ensemble and Lonarc Wind Quintet. Each CD would programme new LF commissioned works with the 18th century works. All funds from the sales of these CD's or downloads would be the property of the Lonarc Foundation.
No 2 to visit the Cesky Krumlov archives to research these original oboe trios, and to also see if there were also any original compositions specifically written for the Schwarzenberg Harmonie (i.e. 2 cor anglais instead of 2 clarinets) for the Lonarc Wind Ensemble and Lonarc Wind Quintet to bring to the wider public. To carry on similar research on Johan Went compositions at the Imperial Library in Vienna and the Lichtenstein libraries for Josef Triebensee original manuscripts.
No 3 to liase with Story House Arts Centre in Chester and Grosvenor Estate to set up a 3 year residency to provide bi-annual 'free to public' workshops and concerts where the Lonarc Ensembles would perform.
No 4 to perform all the original oboe trios in as many of the old Schwarzenberg castles and houses as possible and to eventually host a 3-4 day oboe trio workshop/summer course in the study centre in Cesky Krumlov.
No 5 to secure more invitations for the Lonarc Ensembles to perform in chamber festivals (including connected 'free to public' outreach concerts or workshops) in the UK and Europe.
No 6 to attend the annual International Double Reed Society's conferences held worldwide to perform and give a lecture on the importance of these early oboe trios and the especial 'double-reed heavy' Schwarzenberg Wind Harmonie.
No 7 to liase with the UK music conservatoires, schools and local arts centres to provide 'free to public' workshops and concerts where the Lonarc Ensembles would perform.
No 8 to hold annual fund-raising concert for Lonarc Foundation with the Lonarc Ensembles performing.
No 9 to approach composers to commission works for the Lonarc Ensembles such as Judith Weir (current Master of the Queen's Music and an ex-oboe pupil of Robin Miller), Sally Beamish, Paul Patterson, Gary Carpenter, Judith Bingham, amongst others.
No 10 to then bring these works to the attention of the general public worldwide through radio, magazine and broadsheet features.
