Grant Kerr has done a great article on the Victoria Children's Choir, and the Pacific Baroque Festival in this week's edition. (Monday Mag)

I am doing photos at the rehearsals and let me tell you the combination of a truly professional, experienced and intuitive orchestra, with these 'gung ho' kids is inspiring...

everyone should see this.
