Other first performances were of Bennett's Time's Winter Series for counter-tenor and lute, Rainier's Prayers from the Ark and Crosse's The Cool Webb for tenor and piano.
Other concerts included the Patron's Choice which had music chosen by, and performed in the presence of, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother and a concert of readings and music entitled Miss Jane Austin at Home which honoured the occasion of her Two Hundreth anniversary. There were also performances by the Beaux Arts Trio and John Carol Case, the New Zealand Dorian Choir and the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra.
