St. Paul's Girls School Symphony Orchestra and Paulina Voices

Another very entertaining evening, also at St. Mary's Church in Barnes.   This time it was the St. Paul's Girls School Symphony Orchestra and The Paulinas - no prizes for guessing which school the choir all went to!

The programme focussed on the works of Vaughan Williams, Elgar and Holst, with the Paulinas singing works by all three composers, followed by the Orchestra playing Elgar's Enigma Variations.   All, of course, at the standard that one would expect from St. Paul's

One noticeable thing about them was the number of Asian and Chinese girls among them - but of course, that probably just reflects the make up of the school, and the fact that everyone is encouraged to play and sing properly.
