The Festival has evolved from two traditional Welsh singing and musical events.
The 'Gymanfa Ganu' is a Welsh Community Singing Festival and the ‘Noson Lawen’ - a fun night and concert.
In the spirit of the Gymanfa Ganu the audience will sing and join in five community songs. We expect the audience to 'raise the roof.'
After the Festival concert patrons are invited to a delicious Welsh afternoon tea with plenty of Welsh cakes and Bara Brith.
After last year’s enjoyable and successful Festival we are confident that this year’s concert will be even better.
We have four outstanding guest artists all of whom will include a Welsh connection in their repertoire.
Sacha Gibbs-McPhee - a consummate clarinetist, Sacha has returned to Australia after studying at the Royal Academy of Music in London.
Kim Kirkman - a brilliant musician and performer. Kim is also a conductor of a number of choirs and orchestras on the Sunshine Coast.
Michelle Bull - a sublime soprano at ease with a range of musical genres; Michelle teaches music at her studio Tempo Allegro and the Sunshine Coast Grammar school.
Ceri McCoy - a fantastic folk singer and musician. A regular performer at Woodford Folk Festival.
Come along, enjoy listening to superb guest artists; join in the community singing and ‘raise the roof’.
When the concert is over partake of a scrumptious Welsh flavoured afternoon tea.
