The James Tatoulis Auditorium at MLC’s Kew campus once again resounded to the wonderful songs and anthems from the Melbourne Welsh Male choir as we paid tribute in song to the anniversary of the Patron Saint of Wales Dewi Sant or Saint David.
Our guest artist, Samantha Hargreaves was the winner of the Choir’s Singer of the Year (SOTY) competition in 2021 which, as our supporters will know, had once again, because of COVID lockdown restrictions, to be judged on the competitors’ performances submitted via video. Based on her performance (which you can see elsewhere on the website) and her subsequent success with recent operatic roles, our audience at the St. David’s Day concert were in for a treat.
The choir was in good voice and presented some of the new material we have developed since we last performed at this venue, together with some of our traditional Welsh anthems which, with 50+ voices on stage, once again raised the roof!
