Wales Millennium Centre
performance
14th
April 2007: The choir performed an informal concert in the
Wales Millennium Centre,
Cardiff as part of the centre's Spring/Summer series of events in the
foyer. This series provides the opportunity for performers from a broad
spectrum of music and dance to show off their talents in the public
space at the front of the centre and helps to create an ambience for
tourists and visitors. Most performers are based in or are associated
with Wales, but many come from farther afield. Dursley was the only
English Male Voice Choir to be invited to take part in this season's
series and the choristers were delighted to show their talents in such
an illustrious forum.
The nature of the venue and occasion meant that the choir launched into
its programme with a rousing arrangement of "When the Saints Go Marching
In" to a small group of listeners, but by the time they reached the end
of the song a throng of tourists and other visitors had filled the foyer
and the overlooking balconies. The programme continued with a blend of
secular and sacred songs culminating in Gwahoddiad, sung in Welsh as was
only fitting for such a venue. The rapturous applause and calls for an
encore were rewarded with a repeat of the final verse ending in three
great "Amens".
