ENSEMBLES 2008
Mid Powys Youth Choir
The Mid Powys Youth Choir was formed in the year 2000, when its leader retired from teaching music at a local High School and was asked by a pupil to form a Community choir.
Powys is a large, rural, sparsly populated county, situated in the centre of Wales. Wales has its own language, is part of Great Britain, with a population of approximately 3 million people.
The choir members travel from a wide area, to the county town of Llandrindod Wells, to rehearse and prepare for public performances which they give throught out the year.
The repertoire is mostly for S.S.A., with music to suit all tastes, both accompanied and acappella, religious and secular.
The choir has performed for British royalty, appeared on radio and television, made a C.D., taken part in various competitions including Wales own International Festival, The Llangollen International Eisteddfod, where the girls enjoy meeting and singing with competitors from throughout the World.
This will be the first overseas tour for this choir, although some members have already toured with Eleanors school choir which sung in Vienna. The girls are all looking forward to joining the Festival and singing and meeting with the Youth of the World.
