My Choir Journey - Brian E Davies - Bog

This is a story about a life singing in Welsh choirs, including the internationally acclaimed Morriston Orpheus Choir. Following a journey through time and across the world from the South Wales valleys to the Sydney Opera House, the story tells of great music-making and behind the scenes fun and games. The author describes the travel experiences of numerous world-wide tours and the incidents that occurred, many of them hilarious. There are tales about encounters with celebrities that he met and shared the stage with.
The book describes the poignant experience of singing in Carnegie Hall in New York in the aftermath of the September 11 terrorist attack, whilst on a happier note, The Queen's Golden Jubilee performance outside Buckingham Palace offers a taste of high pageantry.
The final chapters cover the author's most recent experiences singing in a high-quality 'a cappella' choir, with performances at some notable venues including La Madeleine in Paris. From singing at a Major League baseball game in Cleveland, Ohio to performing at the famous rugby stadiums of New Zealand, the story is rich with variety and colour.
It will delight all lovers of choirs and their music and appeal to, and amuse, all world travellers.
