Sweet music
I was lucky enough to attend the evening service at St Paul's Cathedral this evening.  The choral directors as said to be some of the best in the world and when the voices and the acoustics of Christopher Wren's incredible dome come together it's certainly easy to believe.

Tonight as special in another way too though.  The cathedral choir masters had reached out to children in a school in a lower Socio economic area, and over the last few months worked with a dozen or so six year olds teaching them to read music, train their voices and ultimately perform in the cathedral tonight.

The cultural clash of their parents just wanting to burst into applause, and the rather solemn atmosphere of the sung Evensong was quite nerve wracking for a while!  In talking to the choral vicar later it was clear that the children had benefitted from the best in teaching and the plain assumption that they could do it.

The strictly enforced "no photography" rule went out the window though!
