Wales 1000

04 Jun 2016

7pm

Men singing together has been a seminal part of Welsh life and identity for centuries.

The Welsh Male Choir is internationally recognised and steeped in a tradition that is recorded as far back as the 11th century. In this must-see concert, curated by Aloud Artistic Director, Tim Rhys-Evans MBE, some of the finest male choirs from across Wales come together to celebrate this astonishing musical and cultural heritage.

Over 300 voices will be supplied by Only Men Aloud, Only Boys Aloud and the 2016 Principality Only Boys Aloud Academi as they join forces with three of Wales’ finest male choirs, Côr Godre’r Aran, Côr Meibion Pontarddulais and Côr Undebol Ar Ôl Tri for a spellbinding journey through a thousand years of the Welsh male choral tradition.

The concert is a joint presentation by Wales Millennium Centre and The Aloud Charity and will be accompanied by Sinfonia Cymru under the baton of a very special guest conductor.

BIOGRAPHY

Only Men Aloud

Who are Only Men Aloud?

Only Men Aloud were formed in 2000. The group's aim was to inject some new blood into the Welsh male choir tradition. The group's repertoire is varied and eclectic, from Welsh folksongs and hymns to musicals and opera, from barbershop and swing to pop.

The choir won The BBC's Last Choir Standing in the summer of 2008, and released their debut album shortly afterwards, which went gold in the UK.
