"They deservedly have a reputation as one of the leading Welsh male voice choirs and their performances are always highly accomplished and ‘professional’, their sound both full and beautifully blended". - from a concert review by Glyn Pursglove (Seen and Heard International)
The Morriston Orpheus, with the Ariosa Singers and tenor Reuben Nicholas, pianist Hywel Evans, directed by Penny Ryan, sing 'The Holy City'
Natalya Romaniw, soprano, joins with the Orpheus in ' The Easter Hymn', accompanied by Alice Reed, piano and Leslie Ryan, organ
Natalya Romaniw, accompanied by Andrew Matthews-Owen
"Among the highlights of their programme on this occasion was a very beautiful performance of the setting of the Lord’s Prayer by the American Albert Hay Malotte (1895-1964), and a lyrical rendition of ‘Y Tangefeddwyr’ (Peacemakers) by Swansea-based composer Eric Jones and a number of arrangements of American spirituals." Glyn Pursglove  (Seen and Heard International)
"In one of the best of the spirituals, ‘Give Me Jesus’ (arranged by Alwyn Humphries, for 25 years Musical Director of the Orpheus, and in the audience at this concert) the choir was joined by Natalia Romaniw in a stirring performance. Joy Amman Davies, current Musical Director of the choir, brought the best from her singers and pianist Alice Reed and organist Les Ryan were exemplary accompanists."
