My Tribute to William Woloschuk - William Woloschuk shines with his ability to empower the “Welsh soul” and his beloved Ukrainian heritage in the TWMVC performances. Although I am not on Facebook, I want to thank William for giving me the chance to showcase the talents of the TWMVC to numerous appreciative audiences during my time as Publicity Manager. The first time I heard TWMVC, I was not impressed. But less than six months later, the transformation under William’s leadership genuinely amazed me. Soon after, I was invited to take on the role of Publicity Manager for TWMVC. Some of my most cherished memories include the “100 Voice Concert” celebrating the Centennial of Dewi Sant Welsh United Church, the only Welsh church in Canada; a private “After Glow” with Bryn Terfel, Patron of the TWMVC, which led to a performance with Bryn at Carnegie Hall; entertaining audiences with Christopher Thomas as MC as well as narrating “A Child’s Christmas in Wales” and other classics; then culminating in the production and release of "Toronto Welsh Male Voice Choir Live at Glenn Gould Studio" with Juno Award winner, Shannon Mercer, for the 15th Anniversary Gala Concert at St. Anne’s Anglican Church, beneath the dome adorned with the only religious paintings by Canada’s "Group of Seven" artists, now sadly gone. Truly, moments to treasure. Just some of the highlights of my time working with the TWMVC - a group of tremendous gentlemen men under William Woloschuk as their Director of Music, providing numerous opportunities for others to delight in their musical abilities for "Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life." William was truly an extraordinary music director. “People may forget what you said, people may forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” Now, as William embarks on new ventures, I continue to thank God for the countless blessings that knowing him brought into our lives, especially mine. May he keep enjoying the richness of his remarkable legacy, which has inspired and uplifted us through his generous spirit and the sharing of his God-given musical talents. Bendith
