In July 2004, we sang our final concert under the musical direction of Richard Roddis, performing Bernstein's 'Chichester Psalms', Britten's 'Rejoice in the Lamb' and Bach's 'Lobet den Herrn'.

The following season (Sept. 2004) commenced under the leadership of our new Musical Director, Robert Web, and we performed our inaugural Concert of Remembrance with him on November 13th, 2004, with Requiems by Duruflé and Rutter. More recently, in May 2005, we performed Tallis's epic Spem in Alium as part of the Ranmoor Music Festival, and in April 2006 Bach's St John Passion accompanied by the superb Ensemble 360.
