CMVC’s Open Rehearsal takes place from 8pm on Wednesday 14th September at Holy Cross Church. Designed to attract people who want to have a taste of what it is to sing in the choir without the formality of a full rehearsal, this is open to all, irrespective of age or experience. No pre-registration is necessary – just come along on the night, relax and enjoy the experience. We will even take you to the pub afterwards!
The launch of Cowbridge Pride proved to a hugely inspiring and uplifting occasion. At a completely full Town Hall, the capacity audience was treated to a wonderful performance by Vale Academy of Performing Arts, before CMVC took to the stage for a fabulous selection of ‘afterglow’ songs. This was a magnificent community event and the choir was thrilled and privileged to play its part. Congratulations to Ian ‘H’ Watkins of ‘Steps’ fame, the Town Council, Connie Orff and all others who contributed.
Members of the choir are delighted to support Cowbridge Pride by performing some afterglow songs at the launch of the event at the Town Hall on Saturday 3rd September from 10am.
The September issue of our Llais Y Fro e-magazine has just been published, featuring fantastic insights and articles as well as a simply brilliant interview with Honorary Life Member Glyn Jones.
On a blistering hot 14th August, the choir was thrilled to fulfil an engagement to perform at Forage Farm in front of an appreciative audience. Forage Farm, the Penllyn Estate and all associated did so much to support the choir with rehearsal venues throughout the pandemic that some sweaty shirts were fully justified to repay their loyalty and kindness. Even the alpacas came to listen!
As the choir were undertaking their final rehearsal before their Annual Concert, David Jones was called forward to receive his Green Blazer in front of the entire assembled choir. David has been a brilliant probationary chorister, attending numerous concerts as well as working diligently to learn his repertoire parts. Many congratulations David!
CMVC’s annual concert at Cowbridge Leisure Centre provoked a standing ovation from the capacity audience at the close. What a magnificent evening and sparkling quality from choristers and guests. Huge thanks to Indigo May for their contribution and to Scott Williams for his virtuoso organ playing.
Cowbridge Male Voice Choir now take payment for tickets, CDs and programmes via credit / debit card at all of our events and performances!
Following weeks of patient rehearsal and effort, Barry Doughty was elevated to the Green Blazer fraternity and is pictured receiving it from Vice Chairman Chris George and Musical Director Rhiannon Williams. Congratulations Barry!
