These are but some of the choral items on the programmes. The New Elizabethan Singers have also included items in their programmes to provide young solo instrumentalists an opportunity to perform in public and for purely orchestral works to be performed.
We are very grateful to Mr. Alan Williams for his continuing sponsorship.
