Sedecim - Latin for sixteen and pronounced "Say-day-kim" – is made up of 19 pupils from Kent College and is led by their musical director, Jackie Spencer. Sedecim was the judges' unanimous choice; chairman of the judges, Dr David Flood, who is Organist and Master of Choristers at Canterbury Cathedral, praised the musical ability of the choir and the breadth of the music they performed. He said: “Sedecim is a young choir achieving at an enormously high level.” He added: “This was a balanced and refined performance”.
Sedecim were awarded the Brett Top Choir Kent Trophy and they will now be granted a performance at this year's Canterbury Festival as their prize.
