Only one song was sung, our signature song 'The Happy Wanderer' and the choir's beloved conductor, Christian J Jenkins returned to conduct them. The choir sang their heart out, and the audience were very responsive, stopping them as they left to congratulate them! There were a number of excellent instrumentalists as well-a flautist, a pianist and a harpist. What a treat for the audience. Jeanette Masocchi, respected vocal coach and an organiser and supporter of the Eisteddfod for many years, said 'Absolutely beautiful' and she was right.The high sopranos were particularly admired for the beauty of their voices and their stamina! Amelia,Georgia, Nicole, Rhys and Morgan. Thank you so much for returning to help with the missing voices. It was lovely to hear you again! What I have always admired, is that the choir members are team players, essential for any role in music and it is excellent training...
An enormous pleasure was being chosen as winners of the youth Performers of the Eisteddfod, to appear at the Gala at Abergavenny. The choir were thrilled to be chosen, although the unexpected inclusion of the concert in the Schedule meant not everyone would be there. Some former students, to whom the choir had meant much, and were local, came back to help out-and we were very grateful.
