Côr Dathlu Cwmtawe 2018 American Tour

Description

American tour of Côr Dathlu Cwmtawe 2018: Five concerts on five consecutive evenings all under the direction of Maesto Conway Morgan, with Dr. David Lyn Rees as accompanist. Singing with the choir on this American tour were Helen Gibbon, soprano, and Kees Huysmans, bass/baritone. At three of these five concerts, student musical groups from local elementary and high schools performed during the evening: the Old Forge Choralaires, under the direction of Marty Ort, the Western Wayne Marching Band, under the direction of Elaine Shedd, and the Valley View High School Chorus, under the direction of Gina Pascolini. To the great pleasure of the members of the Welsh choir and the audience as a whole, at the Valley View High School concert, the Valley View High School choir sang, in Welsh, Men of Harlech and Rachie. For their performance of those two works, in Welsh, the Valley View student choir was given a standing ovation by the Cor Dathlu Cwmtawe. This American tour of the Cor Dathlu Cwmtawe was hosted by the Carbondale Historical Society and Museum, Dr. S. Robert Powell, president. The tour manager was Ted Frutchey; the event PR coordinator was Jerry Williams. This return journey of the Swansea Valley Celebration Male Choir to northeastern Pennsylvania was a triumphant success--for the choir and soloists, for Wales, and for America.
