The London Welsh Chorale is a mixed-voice choir which has performed at venues including the Queen Elizabeth Hall, St John's Smith Square and Southwark Cathedral. You've probably already heard them: they sang the theme tune for the UEFA Champion's League! You have two opportunities to hear them live next weekend - 28 Feb/1 March - at the London Welsh Centre. On Saturday evening is a concert conducted by Gareth Hancock with soprano Carolyn Foulkes - a very appropriate way to celebrate St David's Day (call 020 7837 3722 for tickets: £16 including reserved seating and programme). On Sunday afternoon, they will accompany storytelling by Mary Medlicott: join them for tea and Welsh cakes from 4pm (tickets £8/children £4, available on the door).
The choir are currently celebrating their 25th anniversary year. They have an extensive repertoire, including Welsh compositions. Recordings include Earth Rejoices! and Cenin Aur - A Century of Welsh Music. If you're interested in joining them, they rehearse every Tuesday evening at the London Welsh Centre: contact secretary@londonwelshchorale.org.uk
