We enjoyed a busy and exciting season in 2019, exactly sixty years after the choir’s formation in 1959.
In 2019 the Choir was paired with Nathan Dearden, a Welsh composer and conductor, as part of Making Music’s prestigious Adopt- a- Composer scheme. Nathan composed three ‘postcards’ which the choir performed in 2019. The first of these, ‘Home…‘ , was performed by the choir on 13th April 2019.
13th April 2019: Performance of Haydn’s ‘The Creation’
at The Brangwyn Hall in Swansea, with the British Sinfonietta and conducted by John Rogers .
1st June 2019: Come and Sing Concert (Haydn’s ‘Nelson Mass’) held in All Saints Church, Oystermouth on Saturday 1st June 2019.
8th December 2019: Bach’s ‘B Minor Mass’ – 60th birthday concert (Brangwyn Hall, Swansea)
It was at the 60th birthday concert that Nathan Dearden’s Three Postcards was performed for the first time in its entirety by the Choir, consisting of the three movements, Home…, O’r galon and Return Journey.
