Duettists

Ruth Jones and Val Owen

Ruth Jones and Val Owen have both sung with the choir almost since its inception. They are very accomplished singers with excellent voices, having been trained by well-known vocal coaches, and are well known in the Montgomeryshire music fraternity. Ruth and Val feature prominently in our concert programmes as duettists and are much in demand to take the stage in and around Montgomeryshire.

Solo lines in some of the choral works we perform are taken by members of the choir. Soloists include Ruth Jones and Val Owen (our duettists) and Carol Bessell.

Carol Bessell

Trained in Canada by Gwent Lewis, a retired Welsh operatic tenor, she was a successful participant in Provincial Music Festivals. Carol was a member of Memorial University of Newfoundland Festival Choir, Chamber Choir and Madrigal Group, and a chorister and soloist with Newfoundland Anglican Cathedral Choir.
