National Eisteddfod 2009, Bala
The Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama
has had another hugely successful year at one of the world’s
greatest festivals and one of the oldest manifestations of Welsh
culture and heritage – the National Eisteddfod, which took
place this year near Bala, Gwynedd.
The College stand, designed by one of its
recent graduates and showcasing the work of Theatre Design Students
and other courses, was manned by staff and students happy to chat
to visitors and prospective students about the opportunities
available at the College.
Many past and current Royal Welsh College
students were involved in some of the many competitions within the
Pavilion during the Eisteddofod. They fought off strong competition
from students from other conservatoires and Colleges from the UK
and beyond to bring home an array of prizes.
