Mahoning Presbyterian Church,
Danville PA - Presentation 2004
Following the fundraising concert in May 2004 at St. Augustine's
Church, Penarth (see story
below), Philip Davies, President of the National Welsh American Foundation
presented a cheque for the sum of $750.00 to the Rev. Judson Bennett toward the
restoration of the Mahoning Presbyterian Church in Danville, Pennsylvania. The
presentation took place during the Joseph Parry Concert on May 21, 2005 - Joseph
Parry's birthday. The concert was organized and funded by the Susquehanna Welsh
Society and underwritten by local benefactors.
The Celentano String Quartet gave the U.S. first known complete
performance of Parry's String Quartet as part of the celebration. NWAF
Treasurer/Secretary, Dulais Rhys, compered the evening's entertainment and
performed several organ pieces by Joseph Parry, written in Danville in 1864.
Trefor Williams from Wisconsin (formerly of Trefor, Gwynedd,
Wales) sang six Parry songs as well as conducting the following day's Third
Annual Jospeh Parry Gymanfa Ganu, with Dulais Rhys at the organ upon which Parry
played over 100 years ago.
St. Augustine's Church, Penarth (Cymraeg)
In May 2004, the NWAF in Wales held a fund raising event for two
of the churches with which Dr. Joseph Parry was involved during his lifetime.
The proceeds from the evening were shared by St. Augustine's Church, Penarth
where he is buried; and Mahoning Church, Danville PA, where Dr. Parry was the
organist during his time in the United States.
The cheque for St. Augustine's was presented by Paul Loveluck,
Chairman of the NWAF Board of Directors, to the Rector of St. Augustine's,
Father Robert Donkin.
The fund raising event included a lecture on Dr. Parry's life
and music by Dulais Rhys, the recognised international authority on the 19th
Century Welsh-American composer. Church organist and music director, Robert
Court, and his St. Augustine Singers contributed to the evening with a recital
of Parry's music, including the European premiere of an organ piece
composed in Danville in 1864.
The donation to Mahoning Church will be presented at the Annual
Joseph Parry Memorial Cymanfa Ganu in Danville on 22 May 2005. Trefor Williams
will be conducting and Dulais Rhys will be the organist, playing the same organ
played by Dr Parry.
Eglwys Awstin Sant,
Penarth (English)
Ym mis Mai 2004, cynhalodd
SCCA yng Nghymru ddigwyddiad codi arian ar gyfer dwy o'r eglwysi a gysylltwyd â Dr Joseph Parry yn ystod ei fywyd. Rhannwyd elw'r noson rhwng Eglwys Awstin
Sant, Penarth ble mae Dr Parry wedi'i gladdu; ac Eglwys Mahoning, Danville, PA,
ble oedd Dr Parry yn organydd yn ystod ei gyfnod yn yr Unol Daleithiau.
Cyflwynwyd y siec i Eglwys Awstin Sant gan Paul Loveluck,
Cadeirydd Bwrdd Cyfarwyddwyr SCCA i Reithor Eglwys Sant Awstin, y Tad Robert
Donkin.
Cynnwys yr achlysur codi arian oedd darlith ar fywyd a
cherddoriaeth Dr. Parry gan Dulais Rhys, arbenigwr rhyngwladol ar y cyfansoddwr
Cymreig-Americanaidd 19G. Cyfrannodd Robert Court, organydd Eglwys Awstin Sant a
chyfarwyddwr cerdd, yn ogystal â'i Gantorion Sant Awstin, i'r noson gyda
datganiad o gerddoriaeth Dr Parry, yn cynnwys premiere Europeaidd o
ddarn organ a gyfansoddwyd yn Danville yn 1864.
Cyflwynir y cyfraniad i Eglwys Mahoning yn ystod Cymanfa Ganu
Goffa Flynyddol Joseph Parry yn Danville ar 22 Mai 2005. Arweinir y Gymanfa gan
