Welsh Choir

A first for Friends!  This will be an exciting  evening of music making in Welsh and English.  Please put this date in  your diaries.  More details of their programme will follow in future  E-Bulletins.   Côr Godre’r Garth was founded  in 1974 with the aim of boosting the Welsh language in an area which was  rediscovering its Welsh identity.  The choir won first prize at the  National Eisteddfod at its first attempt in Carmarthen in 1974.  The  choir continues to enjoy competing at the National Eisteddfod, winning  first prize in five of the last six years in the competition for choirs  with more than 45 voices.  The choir has also appeared on the field at  the Millennium Stadium four times, including performing with Hayley  Westenra and Katherine Jenkins before the Wales v New Zealand match in  November 2006.  Over the years the choir has visited Ireland, Florence  and Brittany.  The choir's longest-standing partnership is with  Liedertafel Moosburg, a choir from Bavaria in southern Germany. 

Ticket price includes a pre-concert drink.
