She shared her idea with the Executive Committee of the 1999 Minneapolis National Gymanfa Ganu, the premier event for the North American Welsh community. Morgan selected the repertoire and commissioned pieces from internationally-known composers and writers. Singers came forward to attend a series of regional rehearsals and then a week of intensive rehearsal and community building in Minnesota. Cymry's repertoire has something for everyone, including new music and literature from leading Welsh and Welsh-North American composers and writers. Choristers receive new music in the mail, and practice at home using parts tapes to help with both music and Welsh pronunciation.
Choristers can also download pronunciation and practice sound links from the website.
Regional Rehearsals - a cadre of volunteer regional coordinators also help manage regional rehearsals and performances. The conductor travels to these one-day events, held at regular intervals in Seattle, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Kansas City, Philadelphia and Toronto. Choristers also travel an average of two to six hours to attend the rehearsals nearest to them. The Music - the choir commissioned two major works for its inaugural performance, along with new arrangements by one of its choristers and the assistant conductor. One of these works, Psalm 104 by Dr. Hilary Tann, has been published by Oxford University Press and is distributed worldwide carrying information on the choir.
