Dunvant Male Choir 39th Annual Patrons Concert

Another exceptional concert tonight as we attended St. Mary's Church in the centre of Swansea to hear Dunvant Male Choir give their 39th Annual Patrons Concert.

Dunvant Male Choir have the unique achievement of having provided over 123 years of continuous choral music since 1895. They are still going strong today with tonight's audience of between 400 and 500 patrons being introduced to their youngest member aged 20, and their oldest aged 92.

They were supported by 18 year old Callum Howells from Treorchy and the outstanding Elin Manahan Thomas, who recently performed at the Royal Wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

Between them they treated us to a diverse range of music including Gilbert and Sullivan, Handel, Schubert, Rodgers and Hammerstein, Songs from the First World War, Mr Bojangles, The Lord's Prayer by A.H. Malotte, Bizet's Divine Brahma and Juliet's Aria by Charles Gounod.

I think that those who attended will be talking about these performances for some time to come.
