This evening, I went to Christ Church College to watch a spectacular Gala Concert of British Music held in Tom Quad to celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jublilee. This was performed by the Oxfordshire County Music Service who are always a joy to see. The programme included the Oxfordshire Youth Brass Ensemble, Oxfordshire Youth Big Band and Christ Church Cathedral Boy Choristers. An excellent selection of music!
Singers from six Oxfordshire Primary Schools sang a selection of British songs and there was a grand finale from the Oxfordshire County Youth Orchestra as we all took part in everyone's favourite - Pomp and Circumstance 'Land of Hope and Glory'. The sun continued to shine right through to the end of what was a truly memorable evening. Of course, there was a bit of competition from the England v Italy football match tonight, but we were kept updated throughout the evening - shame about the score!
