Cowra Eistedfodd Prepares For Grand Concert

The 69th Cowra Eisteddfod has drawn to a close.

The Eisteddfod ran for 3 weeks and drew competitors from all over the state, with thousands of visitors staying in Cowra over this time.

Competition was of a very high standard - which was commented on many times by the expert adjudicators.

As always, the Eisteddfod could not run without the massive work undertaken by the committee and the many hours put in by the large number of volunteer helpers.

The Committee is very grateful to the staff at the Civic Centre and Club Cowra, who helped with the many needs of the committee and competitors throughout the competition. And of course the wonderful Sponsors that are so supportive of the Cowra Eisteddfod, providing financial support for emerging talent in all fields of the performing arts.

The Annual Concert of Major Prizewinners will be held on Saturday 17th June at 7pm at the Civic Centre.

Tickets can now be purchase on line or at the Civic Centre Box Office. Adults $16 - Child/Concession $12 (plus booking fee).

The Concert will feature all the Scholarship winners - including:

• Margaret Hodge from Bathurst - Winner of the Speech & Drama Scholarship.
• Amelia Punch from Molong - winner of the Fairleigh Junior Vocal Scholarship
• Olivia Oxley from West Ryde winner of the Farleigh Snr Vocal Scholarship

A special thrill will be the performance of Younji Yi from North Ryde - who was the winner of The Patricia Fagan Operatic Aria Final. The Farleigh Instrumental Scholarship winner - Zachary Sheung Li from Canberra - will also be included in the packed programme. The Ballet Scholarship partly sponsored by Data Voice Cowra, was won by Coco Sands from Leeton who will be returning to Cowra to perform at the Concert - along with the winner of the Dance Scholarship - Chloe Harrigan from Torrens ACT - who will also be returning to perform at the Annual Concert of Prize Winners on 17th June.

There will be many other local acts including performances from the two local dance schools, and winners from many other sections of the eisteddfod.

On the night the Winner of the Weir Scholarship and the winner of the Alma Hopkins Memorial Shield for the most entertaining item at the Concert, will be announced.
