Proud Welsh of every every stripe are guaranteed some patriotic moments next Saturday, March 1st, when the Cinefamily Silent Movie Theater (611 N. Fairfax Avenue) hosts its annual St. David’s Day Festival and Grand Concert. Expats, Welsh descendants and those who wish they were can enjoy music from headliner Meinir Gwilym (of Llangristiolus, Anglesey) making her North American debut and performing songs from her new album CELT. Also featured will be Christopher D. Lewis, the Welsh Choir of Southern California and Aedan MacDonnell. Other attractions include Welsh language workshops, Welsh food, gifts, book releases, and kids crafts.
“I’m very excited to see the reaction of attendees when Meinir Gwilym takes the stage,” festival curator Lorin Morgan-Richards told the BW this week: “The Cinefamily Silent Movie Theater is a historic venue that has seen many famous faces grace its stage, and being in Hollywood, we’ve also had generous support from Welsh stars like Michael Sheen, Ioan Gruffudd, Henry Thomas, and Richard Burton’s and Frank Lloyd Wright’s families.
