The Cardiff Male Choir was founded in 1898. The group was affected by both World Wars, with many of their choristers killed during the hostilities. At this year’s gala concert the choir will be remembering the outbreak of WW1 with a medley of wartime songs.
Asides from the upcoming concert, the choir has had a busy year, and shows no sign of slowing with age. “We recently sang at a football parade in Cardiff Bay, and were filmed for S4C’s ‘Heno’ programme this year,” said Emma Laidlaw-Height, Musical Director for the choir. “We also sang at a wedding where an owl delivered the rings.”
