Popular lunchtime recitals are back again at St Collen’s Church this year, allowing visitors to get a glimpse of some of the choirs competing at this year's Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod.
The 'Recitals at 1pm' will feature choirs from The Philippines, Singapore, Poland, USA, Czech Republic, Trinidad and Tobago, and Zimbabwe.
The 6th century church is an iconic setting for the annual recitals that have attracted some of the best choirs from across the globe.
Choir of the World winners Kammerchor from Manila won the Pavarotti Trophy last year, and performed at St Collen's.
John Gambles, Vice-Chair of the festival, said: "We are delighted to be working again with Father Lee Taylor and the team at St Collen’s Church to host some of the world's most outstanding choirs.
"St Collen’s is an amazing place and the acoustics really suit our competitors. Many of our past competitors told us how much they enjoyed preforming in our church, and we look forward to welcoming everyone there during our Core Eisteddfod Week.
"The recitals are our way of giving back to the Llangollen Community, and to welcome people to our amazing historic church."
All of the performances are free, and will be held from 1pm - 2pm.
The timetable is subject to change, and a collection will be held every afternoon for the Llangollen Eisteddfod Bursary Fund.
Choirs performing at St Collen's during the Core Eisteddfod week are:
* Wednesday / Dydd Mercher 3 July: GC Ensemble, Philippines + Voice of Singapore Children’s Choir.
* Thursday / Dydd Iau 4 July: Choir Collegium Medicum UMK, Poland + Cantemus Camerata, USA.
