Cwmaber Infants choir singing at Ty Penallta
On Monday 14th July, pupils from Cwmaber Infants School were invited by the Mayor of Caerphilly County Borough Council to sing at a special lunchtime concert at Penallta House.
The Mayor, Cllr. David Carter, recently heard the Choir sing at a charity event for the Noah’s Ark appeal and was so impressed with the children’s voices that he invited them to entertain in the Council’s headquarters at Penallta House.
Cwmaber Infants Choir was formed in 2013 and is made up of pupils from Year One and Two classes aged between 5-7 years old. The group has a variety of interests from rugby and football to dancing and singing.
Since the Choir were formed, they have taken part in the Music for Youth competition in March of this year at Newport Centre and secured a place in the National Final held at Birmingham Symphony Hall where the Judges commended their confidence and stage presence.
Cllr. David Carter, Mayor of Caerphilly County Borough Council said, “I’d like to thank the Pupils from Cwmaber Infants for coming along to sing for us, their beautiful voices and happy faces were a pleasure – I thoroughly enjoyed their performance.”
Jayne Price, Head Teacher at Cwmaber Infants said, “The children were absolutely wonderful and have proved themselves as great ambassadors for the school representing not only Caerphilly, but the whole of Wales.”
The Choir have shown dedication and worked hard under the direction of Conductor Mrs Debbie Horne and accompanists Ms Sarah Price and Mrs Lesley Margaret Perry.
