Choral Competitions: At the competitions of the Social Institutes Union held in London last week, Miss Pinsent’s Choir once more won the Cup for choral singing (one madrigal and one unison song), with 97 marks out of 100 for the madrigal and 92 for the unison song. The judge remarked on the fine tone of this choir and said that they alone of all the competing choirs showed real understanding of true madrigal style, and that it was delightful to listen to their excellent performance. This is the fourth time Miss Pinsent’s choir has competed in choral contests, and they have not yet been beaten. In the duets competition two couples from Miss Pinsent’s Choir were bracketed 2nd and 3rd with 91% marks for each couple: Adjudicator, Mr. Thomas Dunhill.
