ELVIRA HENRY
SOPRANO 1962-1968
Elvira Henry came from Treherbert and was taught music through Sunday School classes at her local chapel.
By the time she reached her teenage years it was obvious that she possessed a beautiful soprano voice, making her very much in demand for public performances. In 1962 she was noticed by John Haydn Davies, Conductor of the Treorchy Male Choir and invited to appear with them at a concert in Caerphilly on May 1st.
So the relationship between the Choir and the young soprano began and continued in this vein for the next six years during which time she enchanted audiences throughout Wales and beyond its borders. She appeared in a total of fifteen concerts with the Choir over the coming years, mostly held in the South Wales area and was a firm favourite with audience and Choir alike.
She retired not long afterwards and moved to the Swansea Valley where she currently resides. |
