The Choral Society concert A Taste of Opera featured soloists from the choir, as well as grand choruses, scenes from operas and a youthful guest trio of Genii (or Holy Boys).

This trio and excerpts from Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas were accompanied by Coralie Hunter on the choral society’s French double harpsichord — always a point of interest in a concert — and Riki Reedy on the cello.
