Students performing in St David's

Royal Welsh College is celebrating the end of its 60th anniversary year with a new partnership with St David’s, Wales’ biggest shopping experience at the heart of Cardiff’s busy city centre.

Students will be entertaining shoppers on The Hayes stage, outside St David’s, with 12 festive performances every Wednesday and Thursday evening leading up to Christmas. St David’s is one of the College’s corporate supporters and the events are part of the Centre’s ‘Christmas on the Hayes’ event.

The students’ performances will include a mixture of music to suit all tastes, including the Klezmer Kollectiv (a Jewish/Polish folk group), Jazz Carols, an evening of Musical Theatre, a Brass Quintet, a Saxophone Choir and more traditional Carol Singers

'Our brands fit together so well and we look forward to working with St David’s again in the future.’ said David Jackson, Vice Principal, Enterprise and Events. ‘It’s a wonderful way for St David’s to support the arts in the city, nurturing young talent and the arts in Wales. It also gives us the chance to showcase our talented students and to build a local audience for the 300 events that take place at the College each year.’

Steven Madeley,Centre Director, St David’s adds, 'After the fantastically warm welcome that Cardiff gave us when we opened our doors, we wanted to try and give back as much as we could to our local community as a thank you for all their support. We’re delighted to be supporting the students’ future in this way.’
