The Rotary Club of Marlow Thames is pleased to introduce a new musical event entering into the Marlow calendar on Saturday October 3rd.
Called a Festival of Voices the event introduces to Marlow the acclaimed Pontarddulais Male Choir. The choir is internationally renowned – having appeared in many parts of Europe as well as Canada and the United States. Indeed it is the most successful competitive male voice choir from Wales.
Led by Musical Director Clive Phillips the choir has secured a record 17 first-place victories in the Royal National Eisteddfod. Also 2 wins at the Llangollen International Eisteddfod, and it has been a two times winner of the Choir of the Festival at the National Eisteddfod.
Also appearing will be Ellen Williams – an award-winning soprano and songwriter who has performed both internationally and across the UK – including venues such as the Royal Albert Hall, Cadogan Hall, and Bridgewater Hall. She was the support artist on II Divo‘s 2024 UK tour performing to a sold-out London Palladium, and has been an anthem soloist leading a crowd of 74,000 at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff.
Steve Berry of Marlow Thames Rotary Club says: “We are delighted to bring another exciting event to the people of Marlow. The evening will be very special, and we expect tickets to sell very quickly indeed. In line with our other events all profits will go to charity, and for this particular event we have chosen Meals from Marlow as the lead recipient.”
Steve added: “We will provide information on when tickets go on general sale via Social Media in late August. All proceeds after costs will go to charity and Meals from Marlow will be the lead good cause this year.”
The Rotary Club is delighted with the support shown by local businesses for the event, and hotel group the Crowne Plaza (at Marlow) have been chosen as the lead sponsor for 2026. A co-sponsor – GT Wealth Management – has also provided excellent support in enabling the event to take place.
Further information will shortly appear on the event Facebook Page, and the Club’s website and Facebook Pages regarding the event and how to secure tickets:
