It was back to the Great Hall on Swansea University's Bay Campus this afternoon for the Morriston |Orpheus Choir Young Welsh Singer of the Year competition. I attended this last year as Deputy Lord Mayor and the standard was as high today as it was then, and as high as when Bryn Terfel won it in 1988 and Rebecca Evans in 1989.
In between their contributions we were treated to music from the choir itself. It was an uplifting two hours of entertainment, at the end of which Osian Wyn Bowen was awarded the trophy and the £2,000 first prize.
The three finalists this year were Osian Wyn Bowen, A 22 year old Tenor from Burry Port, currently studying at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, Jessica Cale, A 27 year old Soprano from Milford Haven, currently studying at the Royal College of Music and Ffion Edwards, A 23 year old Soprano from Caldicot, currently studying at the Royal College of Music.
