BiographyLlanelli born Lyn Harry was the former Musical Director of the London Welsh Male Voice Choir in the early 1960s. Lyn came back to Wales in the mid 1960s to a farm in Ferryside, Carmarthenshire. At that time the Morriston Orpheus Choir did not have a deputy to Eurfryn John and when it became known that Lyn had returned to Wales, he was invited to become the Choir’s Deputy Conductor. In 1969, on the resignation of Eurfryn John, Lyn was appointed Conductor and Musical Director of the Morriston Orpheus Choir. After moving to Canada in 1975 he founded the Canadian Orpheus Male Choir and also the Burlington Welsh Male Chorus both of whom subsequently awarded him the title of Conductor Emeritus.
