Early in October, Cedars Hall welcomed OW Iestyn Davies (1998), world renowned countertenor, for what was a spectacular musical evening featuring the choristers of Wells Cathedral. The evening started with Iestyn, accompanied by Joe Middleton on piano, performing songs of Schubert’s Die Schöne Müllerin and was followed by a charming semi-staged performance of the final scene from Britten’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream by the Choristers alongside soprano Elizabeth Donovan.

Iestyn is a patron of The Wells Cathedral Chorister Trust (which provides bursaries and scholarships to choristers so that they can attend Wells Cathedral School) and the concert was a highly successful fundraiser.
