In May, the choir travelled to Italy to take part in the “Venezia in Musica” International Choral Competition.

Fortuna Won’t Be Fauvel’s Match! mocks human egotism, hedonism, hypocrisy and excesses of the governing classes, of secular as well as church rule, a society contaminated by sin and corruption.
