The Cork Youth Orchestra is music to my ears

I enjoyed the excellent concert at Cork City Hall, which starred the lovely New Zealand jungfrau, Hayley Westenra, ably accompanied by the Cork Youth Orchestra. 

It is a tribute to the orchestra, which was founded the same year I was born (1958), that it can attract world-class performers, like Hayley and Michael Ball, to sing with it.

Hayley is the best crossover female classical/pop star at present.
