Chamber choir goes to Sierra Leone!
Here are a few photos taken on our recent trip to Sierra Leone, where we presented donated instruments and music to a musical
academy and the police and army bands, performed two concerts and took part in the harvest festival service at the cathedral.
The purpose of the trip was to make a gesture of friendship and solidarity to the people of one of the poorest countries of the
world, who are re-building their lives after the ravages of a terrible civil war. This we did through the medium we know best -
sharing traditional English madrigals, part-songs and other memorable works.
