London Welsh Male Voice Choir
Edward-Rhys Harry — Conductor
The London Welsh Male Voice Choir was formed in 1902 and quickly gained a reputation for excellence in performance and success in competition in England, Wales and Paris. Disrupted by the two world wars, the Choir was re-established in 1961 and now has over one hundred members.
In November 2018, the Choir was honoured by being asked to sing at Buckingham Palace at the 70th Birthday Celebration of HRH Prince Charles, the Prince of Wales. This was attended by the Queen and other members of the Royal Family. Biennially the Choir organises and hosts a Festival of Male Choirs at the Royal Albert Hall. Choirs from around the world join the London Welsh Male Voice Choir and others from England and Wales in a glorious festival of traditional hymns and modern arrangements sung by over 700 voices. In October 2016, it celebrated its 25th festival, followed by another memorable festival in October 2018.
