Young musicians in Beijing

When the Dublin Youth Orchestra played in Beijing, China, over the St Patrick's Festival, three of their number were students of Cross & Passion College.

Roisin Smith, Neus Kell, and Aoife Kelly play respectively trumpet, clarinet and violin.

A third of the 60 members of the orchestra walked in the first ever St Patrick's Day Parade in the Chinese capital, and the group gave a number of performances during their visits to Beijing, Hangzhou and Shanghai.
