Scholars’ concert

Sunday March 16th at 3pm
St Catwg’s Church, Llangattock

Our choral scholars scheme has been running for many years now and it continues to blossom. It was the brainchild of our conductor, Stephen Marshall, whose plan was to identify young people in the local area with both a talent and enthusiasm for music, and then support them with funding for music lessons, plus the opportunity to perform in a welcoming, confidence-building environment. Its success is richly demonstrated in former scholars returning to perform with us as soloists at major events, and indeed their broader career successes in music.

This year for the first time we’re devoting an entire concert to performances by our current group of scholars. With the theme “We’ll Keep a Welcome” there will be a veritable feast of music on show with instrumental as well as vocal pieces performed as solos, duets, as a group, and even with some performing their own compositions. The quality is impressive; even though some scholars are still in their early and  mid-teens they are already winning awards and gaining the very highest grades in musical achievement.

Think of it this way – in a few years time it’ll cost a fortune to buy tickets to see them at some fancy venue whereas on March 16 you can rock up in Llangattock for a tenner, with tea and cakes included! What’s not to like?!

Tickets will be available on the door. £10 cash or card, and with refreshments included.
