A little bit of England in Beijing

To the residence of the British Ambassador to China last Saturday for a picnic on the lawn and an evening of Madrigals sung by the International Festival Chamber Choir .



The choir is not-for-profit organisation made up of volunteer Beijing-based singers from 23 countries. Concert proceeds went to The Light & Love School - a Beijing school providing education and care for orphaned, poor, disabled and single parent migrant children.

The evening was balmy, the food was good and the music relaxed and highly enjoyable. Memories of Kew Gardens summer jazz, but everyone was better behaved.
