Cory in action
 

British Open champions Cory, will travel to London next weekend to perform alongside Welsh operatic superstar Bryn Terfel and the Wales Choir of the World at the Royal Festival Hall.

Brynfest

The event is part of Brynfest, a four day festival of music making featuring a number of Wales’ elite musical performers, and which will feature the world premiere of ‘The Hero’s Journey’ composed by Karl Jenkins and commissioned by the famous London Welsh Male Voice Choir.
