|---|---|---|---|
|Officers:|Chairperson|-|Mrs Elizabeth Ferrand|
||Manager|-|Ms Sian Jenkins|
||Treasurer|-|Dr Gillian Body|
Other Members: Secretary, Press and Publicity Officer, 2 Representatives from amongst the ordinary members (not being otherwise elected to the Executive Committee) of the Choir.
The Charity’s Musical Director during this year was Mr. David Young (from 30[th] April 2015).
## _The objects of the Choir:_
The objects of the Choir shall be to educate the public in the arts and sciences, in particular the art and science of music, by the presentation of concerts and other activities.
Although Cardiff Polyphonic Choir is an amateur Choir, it is an organisation which accepts and solicits payments. Professional standards for preparation, learning, rehearsing and performance have therefore continued to be of fundamental importance.
## _The year 2019-2020_
2020 was the year of the global Corona virus pandemic. This resulted in the cancellation of three planned concerts in the 2019-2020 performing year. The choir continued to meet on ‘Zoom’, and recorded a virtual choir recording of Justorum Animae by Welsh composer Richard Vaughan. (Editing Mr D Young. Video Mr T Down)

This was part of a highly successful 3 concert ‘Elijah’ programme. SOS part subsidised venue and soloist costs, and were supported themselves by the Goethe Institut.
In December 2019 the Choir continued the annual tradition of singing carols at Ty Draw Nursing Home, Penylan (no costs relate to this voluntary event)
The choir supported charity ‘The Wallich’ with a Christmas carol concert

This year the choir was grateful to receive donations totalling £2134.20 towards the cancelled spring concert.
