Ger Y Lli Choir

The Board of the Ontario Welsh Festival is delighted to announce that the guest choir for the 2009 Gymanfa weekend is Ger Y Lli Choir from Aberystwyth.

Under the leadership of Gregory Roberts, this young choir was formed in 2004 and consists of a mixture of young professionals, university and 6th form students. The choir competes regularly in the Urdd eisteddfod, the Wyl Cerdd Dant and the Llangollen National Eisteddfod.

They won the youth choir competition at the National Eisteddfod in Swansea in 2004 and are featured on a CD of the best Welsh folk choirs released in 2007.

We look forward to welcoming a "youth" choir to the Ontario Welsh Festival, and I'm sure that we will be thrilled with a new and unusual repertoire.

Mark your calendars for April 24-26. We return to the Holiday Inn in downtown Kingston. St. Paul's Anglican Church will again be the venue for the concert on Saturday night and the two Gymanfa sessions on Sunday.
