Welsh Choir Not Coming to U.S. in 2022
You may recall we had hoped to reschedule our major concert by the marvelous Cor y Penryn choir from Wales to near the date of NAFOW in 2022.
WSWNE Board Member Evan Williams, our primary contact with the choir, now reports that the choir will be unable to perform for us, or at NAFOW, in 2022, due to the continuing uncertainty of the pandemic situation, combined with the need to book their flight this month, or not at all.
