Sally celebrates 50 years with Llandrindod Wells choir
CANTORION Llandrindod were thrilled to have finished their singing calendar with their concert 'Voices of Wales - Women in Focus', attended by the Lord Lieutenant of Powys, Tia Jones, and the deputy mayor of Llandrindod Wells, Kim Nicholls.
Not only did the choir deliver a successful performance of Faure's Requiem, they unearthed scores that allowed them to showcase the choral works of women and Wales, including Rhian Samuel who attended the performance.
Their end of year social was also an opportunity to celebrate the fact that Sally Bramhall has been singing with the choir for 50 years.
Sally started singing with the After Eights choir (named after their poor timekeeping when rehearsing), which then went on to become Cantorion of Llandrindod Wells. Sally was presented with a cake, flowers and gifts to mark her incredible achievement.
The hugely successful performance, accompanied by a string quartet, was made possible thanks to grants received from Ty Cerdd Lottery Grants and the Gwendoline and Margaret Davies Charity.
The choir are now making preparations for their next busy choral season and are welcoming singers who may be interested in joining the group to a free open rehearsal on September 11.
