Artists
Melbourne Welsh Male Voice Choir
choir
The Melbourne Welsh Male Voice Choir was formed in 1984 by mainly Welsh migrants who wished to bring the male-voice tradition of their homeland to Victoria. It has kept that heritage while shaping a distinctive Australian sound and a wide concert repertoire.
Victorian Welsh Male Voice Choir
choir
The Melbourne Welsh Male Voice Choir and the Victorian Welsh Singers combined to record the Gymanfa Ganu at the Robert Blackwood Hall, Melbourne in 1992. The combined choir totalled almost one hundred men, rehearsed and led by Alwyn Humphreys, musical director of the Orpheus Choir.
