They are now on the international professional circuit. In the first half of the concert Llinos and Owain will be singing a duet by Robat Arwyn ‘Benedictus’ and solos by Gilmor Griffiths, Johann Strauss II,
Richard Vaughan, and Donizetti.
The well-known and well-respected Singh family from Llandybie will also be performing. Welsh violinist Davinder Singh will play violin solos by Vittorio Monti, Ernest Bloch, and Edward Elgar.
