Last Friday night saw nearly 60 girls from Years 5 and 6 take part in the annual Tenovus Cancer Care Lovelight Carol Concert which made a welcome return to the majestic Llandaff Cathedral. The choir from Howell’s Prep School was just one of many acts on the programme, which included the inspiring Tenovus Sing with Us Cardiff North Choir, the very moving Cwmbran Deaf Choir, pianist, Malcolm Mason and saxophonist, Jo Wood. Hosted by TV and radio personality, Wynne Evans, the Howell’s choir sang a set of three songs and also joined their fellow artists in a finale rendition of The Greatest Showman’s, This is Me! and the seasonal favourite White Christmas. Interspersed through the evening’s entertainment were three poems on the theme of Lovelight, beautifully and sensitively written and read by Zita S, Catherine H and Sasha L from Year 6. During the lively concert there was also time to reflect and remember when the cathedral lights dimmed and each member of the audience held a lit candle. Broken only by the distant strains of the cathedral clock striking, this was the most poignant moment of the event. The girls from Howell’s School sang and read beautifully and the staff accompanying them were delighted by both their performance and behaviour. Thank you for your support at this event — a really special way to begin the Christmas season.
