'It is Good to Give Thanks to the Lord'
The mission of Cambrensis Ministries is to glorify God in excellence of musicianship. To spread the Good News of Jesus Christ in song and testimony. From Wales, the 'Land of Song', into all the world
The Music Ministry of Cambrensis embraces a wide spectrum of ages and talent. Ranging from select ministry teams who are available for smaller evangelistic meetings, to large scale celebration events. From church halls to the premier St David's Hall in Cardiff, Cambrensis Ministries has made it possible for thousands to hear the gospel and enjoy inspirational music drawn from every age.
NEW APPOINTMENT
Cambrensis is delighted
to welcome Jeffrey Howard as its new Music Director. You will be able to meet
him at forthcoming events and you can follow him on Facebook and Twitter.
Jeffrey joined Cambrensis as a soprano at the age of 13 when the choir was formed. He studied music in Cardiff and then went on to the Royal Academy of Music in London. Since graduating, he has pursued a free-lance career as organist, pianist, singer, coach and conductor and has accompanied leading international singers including Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, Bryn Terfel, Sir Willard White, Dennis O’Neill, Rebecca Evans and Jason Howard. Jeff regularly appears on television and radio with singers and choirs and contributes to the music of the BBC’s Songs of Praise and Dechrau Canu, Dechrau Canmol for S4C. A Welsh learner, he is an official accompanist at the Royal National Eisteddfod for Wales. For the last eighteen years, Jeffrey has also been a Vocal Coach at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama . He has accompanied many choirs on a regular basis including the Swansea Bach Choir and has been a leading figure in the big St David's Praise events that Cambrensis has held since 1989, training the large choir to an excellent standard. Jeff’s skills as an arranger are in great demand and he frequently provides pieces for the BBC National Orchestra and Chorus of Wales, S4C, Songs of Praise and various solo artists. So all these skills are being used now as he takes over at the helm of Cambrensis. Jeff is married to Rachael, a professional harpist and they have three children - Ollie, William and Katie. They are members of Highfields Free Church in Cardiff.
