More than 150 great welsh voices will unite together with music from the exciting worlds of Opera, World Cinema, Broadway, Oratorio and rousing Welsh favourites to raise funds for homeless Kenyan children at a Swansea concert.
The Brangwyn Hall Gala Concert will bring together the 150 massed voices of the Llanelli Choral Society (pictured top), Morriston RFC Male Choir (above) and acclaimed soprano Fflur Wyn (above) for a magical music journey under the direction of conductor John Hywel Williams, broadcaster Mal Pope and organist Huw Tregelles Williams.
The night will feature highlights of world of Film, Broadway, Opera, Oratorio and Welsh favourites including Phantom of the Opera, Vangelis’ acclaimed film score 1492 Conquest of Paradise, Aida's Grand March, Hallelujah Chorus, Anthem from Chess and a roof raising massed voice Welsh favourite of Tydi a Rhoddaist.
Funds will be raised on the night for The Kenya Children of Hope, a charity with a wonderful story of how a Welsh-Kenyan couple have made an incredible difference to the lives of hundreds of homeless and family-less children on the streets of Nairobi.
Clydach-based Heddwyn Williams met his Kenyan wife Lydiah 25 years ago and spent a number of years in Kenya where he saw at first hand the desperate need of homeless children on the streets of Nairobi, Kenya.
"Seeing young children living and sleeping in rubbish and rotting fruit and vegetables made us see that something had to be done," said Heddwyn Williams.
The pair then had the vision that they could make a difference and set up the charity Kenya Children of Hope. Over the years, they have re-homed an incredible 400 children, set up a half-way home to help support children and their families and developed a team of eight to help support the charity in Nairobi.
The charity concert, produced by Loud Applause Productions, will take place at 7pm on Saturday, June 30 at The Brangwyn Hall, Swansea. Tickets are £9, £11, £13 (£2 concessions) from 01792 475715, or from 01792 600201.
