THE renowned Australian Welsh Male Choir, known for performing their music across Australia and overseas are gearing up for their next international tour, this time with an exciting French twist.
Based on the Mornington Peninsula at Baxter, as well as in Frankston and Melbourne, the choir has travelled extensively throughout Australia. In 2024, they celebrated their 50th anniversary with a highly successful “Outback Tour,” performing at Uluru and beyond.
The choir has a long history of international performances, having sung many times in Wales, Scotland, England, China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. This June, they are thrilled to return to the UK, launching another tour of Wales and England with a performance at the London Welsh Festival of Male Choirs in the famous Royal Albert Hall. While in Wales, they will sing with local choirs and, in Cardiff, with the Treorchy Welsh Male Choir.
The French Twist? For the very first time, the Australian Welsh Male Choir will travel to Paris and Bordeaux. There, they will sing with a Basque choir and perform at the Louvre in Paris.
The Australian Welsh Male Choir always welcomes new members to join their vibrant choir community and you don’t have to be Welsh, just love to sing. For more information, chat with choir President Ian Mackie on 0400 665 299.
