Boys’ choir flies flag for Britain
THE boys’ choir of St Mary’s Hall, the Stony- hurst prep school, has just returned home from a successful visit to Loreto in the Marches area of
■ Italy. The choir was in Europe to represent Great Brit
ain at the 29th Congress of Choirs, which attracted singers from Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary and the Philippines. St Mary’s Hall was the youngest and only boys’
choir at the event. The choristers, aged between nine and 13, gave 10 separate performances^ in the Basilica della Sancta Casa and in the Munici-. pal Concert Hall. On the final day, all 15 choirs sang during a Pon-
tificial High Mass presided over by the Archbishop Delegate and broadcast live on Italian television. A St Mary’s Hall boy was one of four choir mem bers chosen to read during the mass. Accompanying the boys was their choirmaster,
Mr Harry Duckworth, and his wife and also in the 30-strong support party were headmaster Mr P. Anwyl and his wife.
Almost 500 choirs have taken part in the festival >
since its inception 29 years ago. All the choirs par ticipating this year presented gifts to the town,
which are now on exhibition in, a museum. ■
