The Group has always remained loyal to its original core principle of eight singers, with two to each voice (S A T B), although naturally there have been personnel changes along the way, as group members have moved away from the area or moved on to other challenges.

We have been delighted to welcome a new alto this year: Jane Templeton has replaced Julia Glossop.

Julia sadly has taken the decision to stand down, although as a founder member of the group she will always be seen very much as part of the Octameron DNA.
