Each of our performers is a recent graduate, or still at, music college or university, and are on the verge of breaking into the country's top orchestras, choir and chamber ensembles. The Artistic Director is Daniel Collins, a member of the internationally renowned choir The Sixteen. Please see http://www.musicfor.co.uk for more details.
