Profiles
Sally Tarlton - Accompanist
Sally lives in Llantwit Major and has had an extensive teaching practice both at the Llandaff Cathedral School and privately. However, she has now retired from teaching. She has been the accompanist and continuo player for the Cardiff Bach Choir for 20 years. She was accompanist for the Cardiff University Chorus for many years until Lockdown got in the way! She plays regularly for the Llantwit Ladies Choir, and is called upon frequently by many choirs, both male voice and others. She is delighted to be back accompanying St Donats Chorale after being with the group at its founding in 2009. Sally and her husband, Antony, have a talented son Ben, who is making a name for himself as a solo cellist. They all help to run the Llantwit Major Chamber Music Festival which performs in St Illtyd’s Church in March each year.

More ...
Our name was taken from the St Donats Arts Centre where the choir was formed in 2009 under the musical direction of Carl Grainger. In 2015 the choir became a registered charity and moved to Llantwit Major. Since Covid restrictions were lifted in 2021, St Donats Chorale has returned in strength.
We have sung in different languages : Welsh, English, Italian, French and Norwegian. There is no audition process and you don’t have to be an experienced singer; beginners are very welcome.
We rehearse on Mondays 7:30-9:30 pm at the CF61 community venue in Llantwit Major. A Music Director is yet to be appointed, meanwhile our accompanist Sally Tarlton will assist the choir.
We are an inclusive choir and focus on enjoyment, learning and achieving success. There has been a tour to Norway and performances in Bath Abbey, Llandaff Cathedral, the Millennium Centre Cardiff, Dyffryn Gardens, All Saints Church Barry, Holy Cross Church Cowbridge and our local church - St Illtud’s Llantwit Major.
