And you thought Wales only did male voice choirs?
Join us as we trade one Celtic Capital for another! Affinity Female Voice Choir, the largest female-only choir in South Wales, is bringing to Edinburgh a concert packed full of the best songs from their repertoire over the last 5 years that you won’t want to miss!
With show hits from Les Miserables, Cats and Hairspray, beautiful choral favourites by John Rutter and Eric Whitacre and, of course, some of the fabulous songs of both our great countries, we’re sure there’s something for everyone in this afternoon delight.
The 40-strong choir will come to you direct from Edinburgh Castle where they will perform the previous day, and with experience of performing in some of the most prestigious venues in Wales (and on BBC television!) you are promised a high-quality showcase event.
If you think only Male Voice Choirs from Wales can hit the heights then think again as these ladies know how to entertain!
Conducted by Diane Wright and accompanied by Benjamin Teague.
