With four sell-out concerts already under their belt, 2024 has got off to a flying start for Tenby Male Choir. The Choir’s busiest period of the year now begins.
A variety of concerts will offer different selections from their broad repertoire of traditional and modern songs, sung in (mostly) English and Welsh at different venues around Tenby. Roughly half Tenby Male Choir’s concerts are fundraisers for charities and good causes, the remainder raise the funds that enable the choir to operate and develop.
The next opportunity to enjoy an evening of outstanding music from the choir will be a concert in support of St Johns Church, Tenby. As well as its spiritual role, St Johns prides itself on its community outreach work, hosting weekly craft workshops, coffee mornings, events for the Tenby Arts Club and a summer concert series featuring local choirs. This concert, featuring Tenby Male Choir and marimba soloist Philip Howells, will begin at 8pm on Tuesday May 14, doors from 7.30pm. Admission £10 cash or card.
The following week sees Tenby Male Choir resume its popular late evening performances at the Giltar Hotel, Tenby. These free, informal shows will be held in the basement function room of the Giltar Hotel from 8.30pm on Tuesdays May 21 and September 10.
Tenby Male Choir’s final fundraiser for May is in aid of Tenovus Cancer Care. Tenovus bring treatment, emotional support and practical advice to the heart of the community In South Wales. In 2023 the charity’s Mobile Support Units delivered almost 2000 treatments, their 365-day free Support Line made 3000 callbacks and their Advice Team helped thousands of people claim the right benefits, get travel insurance, secure ‘blue badges’ and emergency grants as well as fighting for people to get back to work.
So do go long and enjoy an evening of wonderful music and support the Tenovus’s vital work. The concert will be held in St Mary’s Church, Tenby on Thursday, May 23 at 7.30pm. Doors from 7pm. Admission £10 cash or card.
