  • St Gabrielle's Church, Cwmbran
  • Orchestra: Welsh Sinfonia
This year's spring concert was a triumph for the choir. Accompanied once again by the Welsh Sinfonia and Martyn Ridge on the Organ, the choir performed a stunning programme of works. The concert began with the Mass No.10 in Bb: Theresienmesse (the 'Maria Theresa Mass') by Franz Joseph Haydn. It is believed that this work was first performed in September 1799.

The choir followed this with a South Wales premier of Morton Lauridson's Lux Aeterna. Written by the respected American composer Morton Lauridson, this uplifting work echoes of a direct link back over thirteen centuries to the codification of plainchant by Pope Gregory, the playfulness of early Baroque counterpoint, through to the cantus firmus employed by Bach and Palestrina and the sonorities heard in Brahms' Requiem.

Finally, the rousing finale to the concert was Anton Dvorák's Te Deum Laudamus, first performed in October 1892 in New York by a choir of 250 conducted by the composer himself.

  • Alan Jenkins Memorial concert
The choir was sad to have lost an old friend and chorister in Alan Jenkins, and was very pleased to be involved in a memorial concert in his honour.
