The Australian Welsh Male Choir Tour of Western Australia.
The Australian Welsh Male Choir has just completed their tour of Western Australia, the first by the choir to this state. The tour was planned to coincide with the WA wildflower season and travelled between Geraldton and Albany.
The first leg of the tour was from Perth to Geraldton and return. On the way to Geraldton the choir visited the Pinnacles. While in Geraldton the choir performed a concert in the QEII Community Centre at 2pm on Sunday 18th September accompanied by the St Francis Xavier Primary School singers. The tour visited the Kalbari National Park, the HMAS Sydney Memorial and returned to Perth via New Norcia and the wildflower way.
Once back in Perth the choir performed two concerts with the Perth Male Voice Choir and the Sydney Male Voice Choir. Our boys did themselves proud and the combined choir numbers raised the roof. Some Welsh visitors commented on the emotional experience hearing our boys singing in their own language. Choristers and their families took advantage of rest days to have a good look at Perth and surrounds and enjoyed the hospitality of the locals especially in a pub event in Fremantle.
The second leg of the tour was from Perth to Albany and return. The first stop was Busselton where we were hosted by "The Voices of the Vasse" an acapella choir who were very impressive. We also visited Margaret River and Cape Leeuwin a lovely area.
The final stop was in Albany. The choir performed two concerts in the historic Wesley Church accompanied by the Albany Chorale Society. Both concerts were a sell out and very well received.
Back home again and rehearsing for a busy concert period and Christmas.
