This
choral group was founded in September 1998, originally to
sing Christmas carols in the Village Green, at
Llanrhystud, and to entertain people in the surrounding
area. The performance base is now much broader. The
Morfa Singers started with 6 female voices, and by 2002
there were over 20 members. Numbers have since dropped to
8 diehards, and so the music is chosen appropriately in
mainly 2 and sometimes 3 parts.
Their first competition was the Eisteddfod in
Cardigan, year 2000. Although nervous they enjoyed the
occasion and gained experience. The choir gave their
first public concert in April 2001, and again entered the
Cardigan Eisteddfod in July 2001, having improved greatly
from the previous year. They now look and sound more
professional, and have released a tape of music from
their autumn 2001 concert, including local talented
soloists.
"We could never have got this far without the
direction and encouragement from our inspiring conductor
and teacher, Anne Sampson. We have been lucky to have had
a number of v.good keyboard players, who of course have
numerous other commitments."
