International finale for Trinity Festival
The Trinity Arts Festival (Gwyl y Drindod) is building up to a truly international climax this weekend.
The grand finale sees the Stuart Burrows International Voice Award final at Trinity on Sunday.
“Always a hugely popular and very competitive event, the Stuart Burrows award is always a highlight for the festival,” artistic director Eilir Owen Griffiths said this week.
“And this year’s event promises to have added star appeal as Stuart Burrows himself has kindly agreed to be one of the judges.
“His fans will know that he has not been well recently, but he has pronounced himself fighting fit to act as a judge for the award.
“It will be no easy task for the judges, as this year we have competitors from as far afield as Korea, Australia and Ireland.
“The reputation of the Stuart Burrows award builds year by year. Every winner goes on to bigger and better things and we have found that award winners use it as a featured and highly-valued prize in their international CVs.”
Mr Griffiths said: “There is always a late rush for tickets, so take my advice and book early by ringing the ticket hotline on 01267 676685.”
The festival director added he was delighted with the success of the festival so far.
“The grand concert staged at Trinity on June 12 was a stunning success and it was great to see current students and old students helping to produce a remarkable show.
“The experiment with staging events at the Lampeter university campus also worked well. We have sown the seeds for the Trinity St David festival and the link between Carmarthen and Lampeter can only get stronger.
“One of the Lampeter concerts featured mezzo-soprano Caryl Hughes, winner of last year’s festival Stuart Burrows International Voice Award.
“Meanwhile, in Carmarthen we were delighted to continue our collaboration with Carmarthen Arts by staging the organ recital by the internationally-renowned Jane Watts at St Peter’s Church, Carmarthen.”
Mr Griffiths, 29, said: “As always the festival is a partnership between a whole host of different organisations and I am grateful to everyone’s help for ensuring that this year’s festival, the fifth annual one, has been a resounding success.
“The festival is a course of great pride to us here at Trinity and we are sure it will continue to go from strength to strength.”
