Members of Côr Meibion Llanelli Male Voice Choir are taking a well-earned summer break after their annual concert. Rehearsals will resume (Mondays and Thursdays, 7pm at Furnace Community Hall) from Monday, August 10.
Fresh from their Last Night of the Proms, the Hywel Girls’ Choir and Hywel Boy Singers are planning some exciting and rather unique events for later this year.
In September, they will be the star at the final performance of the Milford Haven Music Festival with old friend of the choir Gary Griffiths.
In December, as part of their ever popular big Christmas concert on Saturday 19th December, a “Reunion Choir” of past choristers will get together with the current Hywel Choir for a unique performance with the symphonic sounds of the British Sinfonietta Orchestra.
A very warm welcome is extended to all past members from all eras of the choir to take part.
Great excitement is growing regarding the performance with choristers planning to return to Llanelli from as far as USA for this unique and magical occasion.
