Aren't they great? I've heard them live twice.

C - I hope that's not the case - but it would not be surprising. Another triumph for the grey beaurocrats.

(edit) we went out for a meal with friends last night, and they came back for a drink and we listened to some tracks.
After they had gone home, OH went to bed, and I put Aurin on (i-tunes on my mac) and sat for about an hour doing my knitting and just enjoying the late stillness. Perfect. I really could have sat there all night quite happily.

The fabulous Aurin girls' choir.

Are they doing a UK tour this year? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)


I have a nasty feeling that they aren't (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) . They really have no money and rely totally on kind families putting them up when they're over here - so they've been hit by new regulations (am I right in thinking that parents who put up teenagers in this sort of situation now have to be CRB checked???).

I am SO hacked off about this.

Nooo!!!
Right, I am NOT moving back to the UK! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

I didn't know about the Aurin Girls choir so I looked them up on YouTube.
I just love the Forum for finding "new" stuff! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I've just listened too them too for the first time - amazing!

Have just looked at the CRB website : it appears it's currently not the case, but there are changes coming in this year, and I haven't deciphered all these changes...

Ah - thanks, Baz - if you find anything out, do please let me know. I had a vague impression that the changes were coming in last June/July. I know there was certainly a problem with them being able to stay with families... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Aww, Maggie, that just sounds like perfection!

Glad you liked what you heard, nicki and katica (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) . I know their conductor quite well (he was my conductor for three weeks on the Summer Seminar I went on in Hungary in 2005). He (Laszlo Duranyik) is a product of the amazing work that goes on in the small town of Nyireghaza..he was taught by the amazing Denes Szabo, who is the conductor of the truly stupendous Pro Musica Girls' Choir (rather older girls than the Aurin) and is a contemporary of Denes' son, Soma - the leader of the utterly wonderful Banchieri Singers (have I used enough superlatives here (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blush.gif)??? ).

Labour were certainly planning changes, yes, but they all went on hold when they lost the election. The current lot are changing it in a different way, but I haven't quite worked out how...

If I do find out, I'll let you know.

I'm hoping that this Government dump the obsession with bureaucracy but methinks it'll take quite some time to unwind the mess that was created by the last lot if they really have the appetite for it. Bring back personal responsibility and common sense! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

An IPlayer re-run of Weber's 1st clarinet concerto (slow movement) that I heard on radio 3 this morning at approx. 7.11am. The Age of Enlightenment orchestra with clarinetist Anthony Pay. It was recorded some 25 years ago and is quite the best recording of it that I've ever heard. What do all you clarinatists think?

Tony Pay recordings are invariably extremely good (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
