The CBSC Tour to Hong Kong Feb 12th to 19th 2006

The Chorus was invited to sing two concerts with the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra as part of the Hong Kong Arts Festival. Although Kathy and her colleagues were committed to rehearsals there were a couple of mornings and afternoons for serious sight-seeing. When she was busy Rol went off on his own. The second concert was on the Friday evening so we had the whole of Saturday to ourselves prior to flying back to the UK on Sunday night. This gave us enough time to see the main attractions, though we came away wanting more.
