This evening we went to Mumbles Methodist Church where the Swansea Excelsior Choir were performing to raise funds for Christian Aid. It was an outstanding and very enjoyable performance, including poetry readings, solo performances and a flute solo.
Swansea Excelsior Ladies Choir was formed in 1941 from the nucleus of the old Swansea Ladies Choir which was disbanded. In 2011 it celebrated its 70th anniversary.
Today the choir is made up of approximately 50 ladies who enjoy singing and who, by performing many concerts, support a wide variety of charities and other organisations.
Their website records that since 1999 the choir has donated approximately £50,241 to worthwhile local charities. It is due to the members of the choir, their families, friends and patrons that they have been able to achieve so much.
I understand that the concert raised over £600 for Christian Aid this evening.
