The Melbourne Welsh Male Voice Choir was formed in 1984 and since then it has grown from a small group of enthusiastic singers into one of Australia’s acclaimed male choirs.

There is a warm and welcoming culture within the choir and while we take our singing seriously, we don’t take ourselves too seriously at all.

In fact, we have a lot of fun and in our 40th year we are embarking on a recruitment drive to bolster our numbers for the next 40 years! To that end we have produced a couple of short films about the choir and the many benefits of being involved in choral singing. You can find links to these films on our website and on YouTube

The choir is busy with 8-10 performances each year and has performed at major venues such as the Melbourne Recital Centre. It is also well organised with a very capable and active organising committee.

The choir honours its Welsh roots by singing at least 25% of its repertoire in the Welsh language, Europe’s oldest living language. However, as a proud multicultural Australian Welsh choir we believe that good music is not limited to one language. Consequently recent concerts have included Welsh, English, Zulu/Xhosa, Italian, Latin, Maori, Aboriginal and German songs.

Many of our performances feature experienced and talented professional guest artists and each year we organise and run the Singer of the Year competition for promising young singers.

With regular national and international tours, this is a choir that is energetic and with a growing reputation for excellence.

Not bad for a bunch of blokes of varying ages and musical experience, who simply like to get together each week to have a sing.
