The Sydney Welsh Choir has more than seventy members drawn from all parts of the greater Sydney area putting the Wales into New South Wales. Not all choir members were born in Wales; some have Welsh family links while others simply like being part of a group which sings with such evident enjoyment and enthusiasm to very appreciative audiences.

The concert schedule is busy but enjoyable with events two or three weekend performances a month. The choir has sung at all the main performance venues in Sydney as well as at such famous overseas venues as York Minster,Canterbury and Winchester Cathedrals in England, the American National Cathedral in the USA, The Madeleine in Paris and Assisi Basilica in Italy. Since 1990 the choir has made five trips back to Wales,with performances in many of the main castles, cathedrals and concert halls there, as well as in many countries along the way.

Practices are held most Wednesday evenings at 7pm at the church hall of Concord Baptist Church, Carrington St, Concord just off Concord Rd near the end of the M4. The Sydney Welsh Choir is always happy to welcome visitors or potential new choristers at its practice sessions. The choir is currenlty seeking new singers for all sections - Soprano, Alto, Tenor and Bass. Please phone 02-9630 2561 or email davidevans08@bigpond.com for further details.
