The Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod is delighted to announce a special fundraising concert taking place on Friday 8 May 2026, celebrating the richness and spirit of Welsh musical tradition.
This unique evening will feature the acclaimed male voice choir Meibion Marchan, renowned for their powerful sound and deeply expressive performances. They will be joined by an outstanding line-up of soloists: celebrated harpist Angharad Huw, soprano Branwen Medi Jones, and internationally respected tenor Rhys Meirion, who will also guide the evening as compère.
Bringing together some of Wales’ finest musical talent, the concert promises an evening of warmth, artistry and national pride, with a programme that reflects both the heritage and continuing vitality of Welsh music.
The concert will take place in the hall within the iconic Llangollen Pavilion — a setting at the heart of the Eisteddfod site, offering an intimate and atmospheric concert experience within one of Wales’ most recognisable cultural venues.
Proceeds from the concert will directly support the work of the Eisteddfod, helping to sustain its mission of bringing together performers from across the world in a spirit of peace, friendship and cultural exchange. As the festival continues to evolve and grow, events such as this play a vital role in ensuring its future and expanding its reach.
Artistic Director Dave Danford said:
“This concert is a celebration of the extraordinary musical talent we have here in Wales, and a reminder of the deep cultural roots that underpin the Eisteddfod. We are incredibly grateful to these artists for supporting the festival in this way, and we look forward to welcoming audiences for what promises to be a truly special evening.”
Audiences can expect an uplifting and memorable experience, combining choral excellence, virtuosic instrumental performance, and some of Wales’ most beloved vocal repertoire.
