During the weekend it was performed 6 times on the town hall balcony, bravely challenging the roar of the traffic beneath, and also in the Britten Sinfona concert in Colchester Arts Centre on 8th September, accompanied only by the slight roar of the air-conditioning. The performers were Paul Archibald (trumpet) and Pip Eastop (horn).</div> <bR> <div> <B>Olympic Stars</B></div> <div> This piece for massed wind and strings, commissioned by Enfield Youth Arts Partnership, recieved an exciting first performance, with three conductors operating in tandem, to a packed hall in Enfield on Wednesday 4th July</div> <bR> <div> <B>Selwyn Service (Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis)</B></div> <div> This new work received an excellent first performance in Evensong by the Chapel Choir of Selwyn College Cambridge, director Sarah MacDonald, on 17 June, with a repeat at Evensong at Westminster Abbey on 25th June.
