"It was a rare honour to hear such a brilliant and accomplished choir, and we hope that what we could offer in return was the acoustic quality of the chapel so all those voices could certainly be said to soar... Let us hope that the Radcliffe Choral Society will grace this part of the world again."
-- Neil McKittrick
