They are Mrs Ann Davies Thomas, conductor of the Welsh American Goodwill Chorus, who will be competing at the National Eisteddfod of Wales at Caernarvon in August and at the International Eisteddfod at Llangollen too, and Mrs Estelle Roberts Schubert, the accompanist. Mrs Davies Thomas is a native of Abergynolwyn, Merionethshire, and her family emigrated to the United States 40 years ago. She lives in Menlo Park, California, and at present is in charge of five choirs. She is the first and only woman to direct the Regional and National Cyman- faoedd Ganu in America and Canada. She is an organist, composer, arranger and choral director of high repute. In 1949 she earned the distinction of playing the great Tabernacle organ-the second largest in the world-at Salt Lake City. Mrs Estelle Schubert is a native of Colwyn Bay, and she is musical director and organist at the First Lutheran Church of Berwyn, Illinois. She has been accompanist at many Welsh functions in Chicago and organist at a number of National Cymanfaoedd Ganu.
