Welsh and Welsh Americans return to Hollywood for the first annual St. David’s Day Festival, a triumphant gathering since the success of the 2011 West Coast Eisteddfod. Welsh heritage has long been tied with the creative arts, and profoundly so in Hollywood where actors like Richard Burton, Anthony Hopkins, Ioan Gruffudd, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Sheen have become international stars. While even with this, the Welsh in Los Angeles are forced to come to terms with the closure of a major cultural landmark, the Welsh Presbyterian Church. The resilience of the Welsh community springs back to action with a heart to contribute to the greater whole. Executive Director Lorin Morgan-Richards (a Welsh-American) shares the talents of those involved intertwined by the beautiful concert of festival headliner Siobhan Owen, a Welsh and Irish soprano and harpist.
