Cor Meibion Llanelli stage master-class

Cor Meibion Llanelli welcomed some special visitors to their rehearsals last week.
The choir staged a ‘master class’ for more than 40 pupils from the Queen Elizabeth High School in Carmarthen.
The session was the idea of Cor Meibion’s new assistant accompanist Sarah Thomas (who teaches at QE High) and musical director Eifion Thomas.
Mr Thomas explained: “Sarah is thrilled that so many boys at QE High are interested in singing and joining choirs.
“So we thought it would be a good idea to stage a ‘master-class’ at one of our rehearsal sessions at Furnace Community Hall.
“The boys went along with the idea and more than 40 of them took part in rehearsals and we were able to put them through their paces with a variety of different songs.
“It was a hugely rewarding experience for the choir and I hope the youngsters enjoyed the experience and that they will go on to enjoy their singing for many years to come. Who knows? Perhaps some will now be joining Cor Meibion Llanelli?”
Meanwhile, Cor Meibion Llanelli’s most recent public performance was at the British Confectioners Association conference at the Stradey Park Hotel, when they showed off their new waistcoats, supplied by the ladies committee and manufactured by Manhattan Marketing, of Thomas Street, Llanelli.
The choir’s next big Llanelli date will be the St David’s Day concert to be staged at Theatr Elli, Llanelli, on Tuesday, March 1.
Choir rehearsals are held every Monday and Thursday (7pm) at Furnace Community Hall. New members and visitors are welcome.
