Our on-going series of concert parties in residential homes for the elderly, hospitals and hospices is one of our most popular and enjoyable activities.

Organised by Nicola Morgan, a member of the WNO Chorus, these concerts take place throughout the year in Wales and our touring cities in the UK. Two members of the Chorus and a pianist give an hour-long concert of popular opera classics and ‘old favourites' to a hugely appreciative audience. 

The concerts often involve impromptu audience participation – sometimes with some amazing results. In one home for the elderly, a woman suffering from Alzheimer's disease who no longer communicates and cannot remember her own family, sang along to every song and remembered every word.

'On Monday 25 June 2007, WNO will be celebrating the 100th Concert Party by holding 10 simultaneous concert parties in homes and schools across Cardiff.'
