The
'Millennium Promise'
|
|
You
will no doubt have heard about or seen the campaign on T.V inviting people
to make A Millennium Promise This could be a very simple thing such as
knocking on an elderly neighbours door to see if they are alright or promising
to take the dog out for a walk every morning. Although humorous in content,
the campaign obviously intended to encourage people to lead a better quality
of life.
In 1908 a few men from all walks of life, just like you and us, decide to form a choir, probably to make use of their leisure time as much as their love for music. This choir has gone from strength to strength over the years and is now known as Abertillery Orpheus Male Choir. The Orpheus has made its Millennium Promise to continue keeping music in the valleys alive. Through their music, the choir has raised thousands of pounds for charities both at home and abroad helping various organisations to provide a better quality of life for many people. Have you made A Millennium promise? Why not join with the choir? you do not need a voice like Pavarotti or our Patron Robert Lloyd, you need not be a music reader, although this would be a bonus. As well as performing at home or abroad, this choir has a good social aspect, ask about our after concert functions. Wives and partners are invited to take part in all choir events. July of this year we will be making a concert tour of Canada, sorry you may be too late for this but other tours are already being considered. Why not come along to our practice and find out more? We are sure the Millennium Bug will bite you. Rehearsals are held in Bryngwyn School on Tuesdays and Fridays between 7pm to 9pm where you will receive a warm, friendly welcome. |
