Cleddau Flute Choir performs at St David's Cathedral
Cleddau Flute Choir took to the stage on Saturday, May 31, delivering a performance to a packed audience.
The concert featured a varied programme of the group's favourite pieces, including Pachelbel's Canon in D, Saint-Saëns' Danse Macabre, and Scott Joplin's The Entertainer.
The highlight of the day was the debut performance of Adar Dewi Sant, written and arranged especially for the occasion by American musician Ray Braswell.
Alison Blasdale, musical director, said: "We honestly didn't know how many people would come along to listen to us play, so when I turned around to introduce the first piece I was incredibly surprised to see virtually every pew filled.
"It made an already special day even more memorable for us all."
The Cleddau Flute Choir was formed nearly three years ago and is made up entirely of amateur players, many of whom have returned to the flute after a long break.
The group rehearses fortnightly in Pembroke and performs regularly throughout the year at venues including Carew and Pembroke Castles, as well as at local churches.
