i Coristi is proud to announce that we have been officially accepted into the 2009 Eisteddfod Festival in Wales this summer! The choir is excited to be touring Wales and the UK from July 3-14, 2009.

In anticipation of this journey this summer, the choir has already completed some fundraising for the trip, but more will be needed.
