Commonwealth Carnival of Music Performers

 

 

 

 

 

The Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod attracts some of the best choirs, dancers and performers from all over the world. A selection of 2012’s best Commonwealth performers were invited to perform in The Commonwealth Carnival of Music at Westminster Hall, including choirs from Canada, South Africa and Australia and a dance troupe from India.

In addition, others who were invited to complete the line-up included the Commonwealth Youth Orchestra, Ngāti Rānana Maori Choir who brought the Haka to Westminster, a Welsh Male Voice Choir and The Watoto Children’s Choir (an award winning and inspirational choir from a  programme in Uganda which cares for orphaned children.) There was also be a rare opportunity to see The Parliament Choir whose members include Lords, MPs and other members of Westminster Staff.

Entertaining the audience on stages around the hall during the afternoon before the formal concert in our Croeso Carnival (Welcome Carnival) were BT Melodians Steel Orchestra, The Abraham Darby School Showband from Telford and The Hartley Morris Dancers. 

Our Carnival hosts were Baroness Floella Benjamin, TV Presenter, Huw Edwards and Bite The Ballot’s Michael Sani.  The official proceedings were heralded by a lone bag-piper, from the Pipes and Drums of the London Scottish Regiment and a special letter of best wishes from HHR Prince Charles was read by Lord Alan Watson of Richmond. 

We are grateful to all the performers and volunteers who generously gave their time to make this such a memorable day.  Thanks also go to Barrie Neil Photography and Ben Rogers for photographs of the event.

Carnival Hosts

Baroness Floella Benjamin, OBE,  was born in Trinidad in 1949 and came to England as a 10 year old child in 1960. She left school at 16 with the aim of becoming Britain's first ever black woman bank manager but changed direction and became an actress, presenter, writer, independent producer, working peer and an active advocate for the welfare, care and education of children throughout the world. She became a household name as presenter of the legendary children’s programmes, Playschool and Playaway.

Floella’s broadcasting work has been recognised with a Special Lifetime Achievement BAFTA and an OBE. She has written over 30 books including Coming to England, which is used as a resource in schools in social and cross-curricular areas.

Baroness Floella Benjamin

Floella is also President of the Elizabeth 'R' Commonwealth Broadcasting Fund, a Governor of the National Film & Television School as well as a Deputy Lieutenant of Greater London. She was elevated to the peerage as Baroness Benjamin of Beckenham, in 2010.

Huw Edwards is an award winning journalist, presenter and newsreader. Currently anchorman of the BBC Ten O'Clock News, he began his career as a reporter for local radio station Swansea Sound. By 1986 he had become a political reporter for BBC Wales, later rising to the position of chief parliamentary reporter for BBC News, a role which regularly brought him here to Westminster to report across a range of BBC programmes.

Huw Edwards

Born and brought up in Wales, Huw is passionate about the use of its beautiful language both at home and in his work. This passion was reflected in The Story of Welsh, which won him a Bafta Cymru Award for Best On screen Presenter. As one of Britain’s most respected presenters, Huw Edwards also has the honour of being the face or voice of the BBC at many prestigious national events, including the Festival of Remembrance, Trooping of the Colour, the State Opening of Parliament and The Royal Wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton.

Huw has the pleasure of being able to introduce two choirs to which he has very close connections. He became President of Cor Meibion Gwalia in 2005, and was appointed President of The London Welsh Male Voice Choir earlier this year.

Michael Sani is the co-founder of the grass roots youth engagement campaign, Bite the Ballot. It was whilst spreading the word of the campaign and its aims of inspiring everyday young people to play a role in democracy that Michael met Lord Roberts. The two quickly developed a working relationship and friendship and have enjoyed making politics accessible to many young people across England and Wales.

Michael was delighted to be offered the chance to help develop Lord Roberts’s vision for the Commonwealth Carnival and is honored to be one of your hosts. For him, the carnival is a way of uniting the public with one of the most amazing buildings in the world and he hope this is spoken about for many years to come.

The London based group have performed several times at the Commonwealth Day Service in Westminster Abbey and Buckingham Palace Garden. 

The Melodians are the first steel orchestra to receive a Performing Rights Society Enterprise Award, a Royal Anniversary Challenge Award, and a BT Innovation Award but perhaps the highest accolade of all came when The Royal Chartered Borough of Arima in Trinidad recognised Terry’s contribution to the spread of steelband music around the world by naming a street after him. 

In February 2012,the orchestra performed their piece Acirema from their Adopt a Composer Award live on BBC Radio 3.

Hartley Morris Men

The Hartley Morris Men were formed in 1952 in Hartley near Dartford, North Kent, but have been based in the nearby village of Wrotham for the last 34 years. Like Her Majesty The Queen, they too are celebrating their Diamond Jubilee in 2012.

The dances they perform are in the Cotswold Style having been collected from traditional dances in villages around the Oxford area. They are a full member of The Morris Ring, the association of men’s Morris sides. This year, to mark their 60th Anniversary, they will be hosting the 334th meeting of The Morris Ring in Wrotham.
 

As well as the dancers, a Morris side has a collection of characters. Hartley Morris has a horse, which is based upon a Kentish Hooded Horse. There is also a fool who dances solo jigs and occasionally keeps the dancers in order, a cake bearer in a tatter coat, who dispenses the cake on May Day morning, and the collector, who boosts the side’s coffers and enables them to help local charities by inviting the audience to “partake of the good luck of the Morris by putting coins of the realm into his receptacle”.

Ngati Ranana London Maori Club

Nagati Ranana Maori Choir Haka
Nagati Ranana Maori Choir Haka

In the late 1950s, a small group of New Zealanders living in London formed the London Māori Club and through the performance of traditional waiata and haka, began to promote the uniqueness of Māori. In 1971, the club was renamed the Ngāti Rānana London Māori Club. Ngāti, the Māori word for tribe, and Rānana the Māori transliteration of the word London.

The group went from strength to strength. Today Ngāti Rānana London Māori Club aims to provide New Zealanders residing in the United Kingdom and others interested in Māori culture, with an environment in which they can learn, ractice and share knowledge of the traditional Māori performing arts – promoting both Māori culture and an understanding of Aotearoa (New Zealand) as whole.

The three guiding principles of Ngāti Rānana are whanaungatanga (togetherness), manaakitanga (hospitality and looking after one another) and kōtahitanga (unity).

As well as club nights and performances, Ngāti Rānana holds weekend wananga (extended training - learning sessions) and various social events throughout the year.

Parliament Choir

Membership of The Parliament Choir is open to all who work in the Palace of Westminster – MPs, Peers and members of staff in either House. The choir was founded in 2000 following a discussion between Lord Filkin and Simon Over (then Director of Music at St Margaret’s Westminster) about the difficulty of belonging to a choir when working the irregular hours and fulfilling  the responsibilities a career in Parliament demands.

The choir now holds weekly rehearsals in St Mary Undercroft (the chapel within the Palace of Westminster) during parliamentary sessions, which allows MPs and Peers to leave rehearsals at the sound of the division bell in order to vote. Under the inspirational guidance of Music Director, Simon Over, who is also Music Director of the fabulous Southbank Sinfonia, and Chorus Master, Nicholas O’Neill, The Parliament Choir has developed and grown.

The choir’s repertoire has been wide-ranging and ambitious, including an Opera Gala, Verdi’s Requiem, Mendelssohn’s Elijah and Lobgesang, Bach’s Christmas Oratorio, Elgar’s Apostles and Ryba’s Czech Christmas Mass – in Czech! It has also performed several works composed for the choir by its Chorus Master Nicholas O’Neill, the first Composer-in-Residence at the Palace of Westminster since the time of Henry VIII.

The choir has been fortunate to sing with some exceptional guest soloists,including Sir Thomas Allen (the choir’s patron) and Dame Felicity Lott, and has collaborated on larger works with other choirs, including The St. Michael’s Singers from Coventry and, in April 2012, The Choir of the National Assembly of South Korea.

Midlands Youth Choir of South Africa

Midlands Youth Choir of South Africa was founded in 2007 when its founder Rykie Boeke recognised the need for a place to which children could graduate once they had outgrown The Pietermaritzburg Children’s Choir (PMBCC).

Patrick Harty subsequently took over the role of Choir Conductor in 2010, and was succeeded by William Silk in 2011. Choristers are drawn from a broad spectrum of schools in the Pietermatitzburg district bringing with them an equally wide range of musical influences and talents, making for a diverse and interesting mix. Current membership stands at 65, welcoming students from 14 local schools.

The choir strives through its membership to be fully representative of the new South Africa. Children and young people are given the opportunity to expand their musical horizons through singing music more challenging than any they might ordinarily encounter in their individual school choirs. The repertoire embraces the Western and Southern African choral traditions in particular, but also showcases music from other parts of the world.

The over-riding aspiration of the Midlands Youth Choir is to make singing fun and their accomplished performances are a wonderful testament to their talent and enthusiasm. William Silk has conducted numerous choirs including The South African National Youth Choir and the internationally renowned NKZN Youth Choir with which he received a first place at the Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod.

William’s goal is to educate the youth of South Africa and the world through choral music. He believes that music is a language in which everyone can speak, and is one of the basic tools which can be used to bring all nations together.

Watoto means ‘The Children’, and through their inspirational songs and compelling stories, Watoto Children’s Choirs are spreading a message of hope for Africa’s children. In 1992, Gary and Marilyn Skinner were moved with compassion concerning the critical orphan crisis in Uganda.

Today, Watoto provides physical, emotional, educational and spiritual care for over 1,700 parentless children.

The goal of Watoto is to raise the next generation of Ugandan leaders by pursuing excellence in academic and practical skills, integrity in conduct and moral values, so that each child becomes a responsible and productive citizen. Since 1994, Watoto Children’s Choirs have toured internationally as ambassadors for orphan children in Uganda. ‘Concerts of Hope’ inform people of Watoto’s vital work and afford audiences the opportunity to participate in restoring hope and dignity to some of Africa’s most needy children.

Each child in the choir has experienced tremendous personal tragedy, having lost one or both parents in the African AIDS crisis or other calamities. Now, through their music and dance, audiences around the world witness the life transforming love of God experienced by the children of Watoto.
