They hold several concerts throughout the year, featuring a variety of themes and programs with the added honour of being able to work with a range of professional conductors such as former BBC Singers conductor, Simon Joly. Also picking up the baton have been David Ireson (whose name you may recognise as the conductor for the premiere of Alban), Nicholas Robinson, and Deborah Miles-Johnson.
