Wales has always been known as the ‘Land of Song’ and Côr Glanaethwy is the finest example of this with their wonderful bilingual rendition of The Prayer. When you think of Wales and choral singing you may think instantly of our traditional Male Voice Choirs however female and mixed choirs are equally popular.

When on your holiday in Wales why not plan something different and attend a Concert, Eisteddfod or even a Choir Rehearsal (yes you can go along to watch), a wonderful opportunity to sample our unforgettable Welsh Choirs for yourselves.
