Eisteddfods 2024

As we embark upon the Eisteddfod season, let’s reflect on the timeless wisdom of Ralph Waldo Emerson: ‘Life is a journey, not a destination.’ This sentiment underscores the importance of embracing the process—the hard work, dedication and passion poured into every class—not just the eventual performance. It’s through our commitment to growth and preparation that we truly excel and shine on stage.

For the most up-to-date information on this event please see our EISTEDDFODS Pulse page.
