Adam Treadway was appointed Assistant Conductor in 2013 and was Musical Director from 2015 until 2016. Mark Griffiths is our new Musical Director.

On 6 February we held a Singing Day with John Rutter, attended by over 300 local singers. During the day John Rutter explained the context of the Requiem and many of his other works and guided us through them, proving himself to be an excellent teacher and a witty raconteur.
