Dublin Welsh Male Voice Choir is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2016, and to celebrate the occasion the choir is organising a Festival of Welsh Choral Music at the National Concert Hall in Dublin on Saturday, September 17th. They will be joined by choirs from Builth Wells, Carmarthen, Glynneath and Neath to form a massed choir of around 150 voices. The programme will include a mixture of hymns and other sacred works, Welsh and Irish folk songs, opera choruses and popular songs, chosen to reflect the repertoire of the choir over its fifty years of existence. They will be joined by the renowned Welsh soprano Elin Manahan Thomas, who will be singing a number of solo items.
There are only a few tickets remaining, so if you’d like to be there for what promises to be an emotional and memorable celebration of Welsh music in Dublin, go to www.nch.ie as soon as possible to buy your tickets, which cost €25 each (€22 for concessions).
