On the penultimate day of 2018, the Holloway Children’s Choir held a truly excellent concert to a sell-out audience at the Cathay Future Concert Hall, Tianjin. To see the programme of pieces we sang, scroll down to the bottom of the post for the poster (mostly in Chinese).
Bolstered by our success applying for the Llangollen International Eisteddfod, the choir has made huge progress just in the last two months. Below are some videos and pics:
