Very excited to be welcoming this wonderful young choir to Brecon Choir Festival next year! 🎶🎵🎶🎵
How's this for timing?! Announcing for BCF 2024 on Solstice!✨
Solstice Choral Ensemble is a Cardiff based octet made up of current and graduate vocal students from the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama.
Established in 2022 to expand on a love of choral singing, their past performances range from the music of Tallis to Whitacre, with highlights including performances of Faure's Requiem and Brahms' Neue Liebeslieder.
The group are keen to work on new music and often work with local composer Tomos Owen Jones. Recent performances include the BBC Cardiff Singer of the World Festival, and the Sounds Sublime Festival in collaboration with The Sixteen.
Solstice will be singing pieces by Brahms and a new Henry Vaughan composition from Tomos Owen Jones in line with our 2024 festival theme.
Solstice member Maisie O'Shea said "I am excited to bring Solstice to Brecon, my hometown.I have so many fond memories of performing here throughout my childhood and can't wait to be back".
