Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod
Friday 6th July 2012

Another mixed day of competition and performances. An unusual feature this year was a concert at Llangollen Railway Station where the audience sat on the platform and in railway carriages to watch the entertainment. Fabulous!

The day was topped off by a concert with the incredible composer and conductor Karl Jenkins. Karl is no stranger to the Eisteddfod and in a previous visit, he conducted the orchestra playing his own famous work, "The Armed Man". On this occasion, he conducted his latest work, "The Peacemakers". He was supported by the wonderful Moldovan soprano,
Valentina Navornita.
