He has been the group’s administrator since its foundation in 1969. Grayston Burgess, the choral director became conductor of the Consort in 1983 in succession to Andrew Millington continuing the Aidwyn’s tradition for high standards and adventurous programmes. The Consort has given first performances of works by Edmund Rubbra, Douglas Young, Rory Boyle and Peter Tranchell.
