Chester Male Voice Choir are delighted to welcome The Perth Male Voice Choir in concert on Wednesday 3rd
Hall, Town Hall Square, Chester. CH1 2HQ. Perth Male Voice Choir are arriving in the Uk from Australia and Chester is their first port of call before embarking on a tour of North Wales and many more concerts..
The Perth Male Voice Choir from Western Australia has been performing for over 98 years and currently has over 60 members. The Choir performs for a variety of events in and around Perth averaging over twenty concerts including a number of charity events most years.
The Choir undertook its first overseas tour of the UK in 2018, performing five concerts in South Wales, including in St David’s Cathedral and then the Cotswolds. The Choir then performed at the Albert Hall as part of the London Welsh Festival of Male Choirs with 16 other male choirs from around the world. This year we are touring Chester and North Wales with concerts in Chester, Llandudno, Llanfairfechan, Betws y Coed, Beaumaris, and Caernarfon.
Although it is not a Welsh Choir, it sings in the Welsh tradition of four-part harmony with a piano accompaniment and includes a number of songs in Welsh in its varied repertoire.
The Choir is not an auditioned choir and whilst some singing experience and an ability to read music are desirable, they are not essential. The most important attribute is enthusiasm. Our annual events such as music festivals, St David’s Day, the Welsh free Church’s Gymanfa Ganu and traditional pub “afterglows” adds to the sense of camaraderie and community.
