Nidus Choir Successes! all our choristers are stars!!

28/3/2019

March has proved a most successful month for two of our young choristers. Ruby will be joining the cast of Disney's 'Little Mermaid' in Cardiff this summer. Congratulations! Emily beat ten other good singers at the Hereford Performing Arts Festival to win the gold medal for her group on Wednesday 26th March. Both girls are hard workers in the choir, have lovelyvoices,reliable.disciplined-and professional (as are many of the choir !) Looking forward to our next private choir function-only a couple of weeks' away!
Ruby is being trained for the theatre by Nidus Theatre School, in Cwmbran. Clearly her training has stood her in good stead and together with her talent and hard work, created her success.
Well done Emily and Ruby!!

Last night, the Nidus Children's choir achieved another stunning success at the Parkway Hotel. The Programme was varied, beginning with three Welsh folk songs in Welsh from the Gwent area- Oes gafr eto, Clychau Aberdyfi (the Bells of Aberdovey) and Bugeiliad Gwenith Gwyn, beautifully sung by Rhys Nicholson. This was followed by favourites The Rose , Vois sur ton chemin from Les Cheuristes, Michael Neaum's ,Water of Tyne arrangement and Der Frohliche Wandersmann. Baritone Christian Jenkins then sang Ceriog's moving song Aros mae'r mynyddoedd Mawr, in Welsh and then Men of Harlech in English, which was enthusiastically applauded by the choir. The first part of the concert ended with two favourites with descant:The Ash Grove and David of the White Rock.

Part two was shorter, began with the Irish Black Velvet Band, followed by Spanish Eyes and Mancini's Moon River and the beautiful anthem from Chess. The celebration ended with the Welsh Rugby Medley, which included Cwm Rhondda, Delilah, Sospan Fach and Calon Lan. The concert finished to cheers and thunderous applause as the choir sang the Welsh national anthem and waved the Welsh and St David's flags. The feedback was excellent. Many people commented on the sound the choir made, and the richness of the harmony. So well done all, especially choir leaders for your stirling support. The audience were truly engrossed in the performance of the young singers. Thank you to guest conductor Christian Jenkins who sang and conducted superbly.
