Summer 2024 saw a change from our usual summer programme - on 7th July 2024, we performed a short afternoon concert of Opera Choruses as part of Llandaff Cathedral Festival 2024 accompanied by Capital Youth Band. The works sung included choruses from Gluck's Orpheus and Euridice, Verdi's Macbeth, Il Trovatore, Aida and La Traviata, Bizet's Carmen and Gounod's Faust.
Our Spring 2024 concert was in Llandaff Cathedral on 16th March and was very special. The concert featured the World premiere of the cantata "Time" by local composer Iain James Veitch. "Time" was preceded by a superb performance of Mozart Piano Concerto No. 25 played by Ariel Lanyi - who was one of the runners up in the 2023 Leeds International Piano Competition. A thrilling and memorable evening!
In December 2023, our festive Christmas Carol service was held in Llandaff Cathedral in the week before Christmas. Carols were sung by members of LCCS and pupils of Ysgol Y Wern primary school. We were accompanied by Stephen Moore and Ben Heneghan and the Capital Youth Concert Band.
