On Saturday 30th July, 12 members of Solid Harmony, 2 chaperones and
their conductor, set off in the NewVIc minibus for Wales. The Canadian
organization CME - Choral Music Experience, were holding a convention at the University of Wales Institute, Cardiff, for international choirs and conductors.
Solid Harmony prepared a wide selection of repertoire, sent by CME for4
intensive weeks prior to the departure. The music included everything
from North American Indian chants to Mozart's 'Magic Flute' Opera.
After
a week of hard work with members of the CME faculty, in particular the
wonderful Janet Galvan, Scott Gilmore, Lorna MacDonald, Doreen Rao and
of course Willaim Buhr accompanying. The choir also had great fun
getting to know the Washington State Youth Choir and the St. Louis
Youth Choir. All choirs came together on the last day to perform at
Llandaff Cathedral and St. David's Hall.
Solid Harmony thank the Institute for an "inspiring and rewarding" week.
