Esther was written by Nan Lewis with music by Eric Jones. It earned rave reviews last year.

The annual concert will be a preparation for the Côr Merched Glannau’r Gwendraeth performance in July, when they have been invited to join the Polperro Fisherman’s Choir at a charity concert in Looe, Cornwall.
This will be the second time that the choir has sung in Cornwall.
They performed in Truro and Falmouth in 2010.
Côr Merched Glannau’r Gwendraeth have also visited Spain three times in recent years.
