We need YOU

New Choristers always welcomed - Every Monday and Wednesday at 7.30pm, "come and watch, listen and decide whether being a chorister is for you, often people quite wrongly assume they have to have the voice of Mario Lanza or sing like an angel - quite untrue !

Make the decision now - we look forward to welcoming you.

The ancient town of Llantrisant is built on the brow of a hill commanding extensive views of the beautiful vale of Glamorgan and the Bristol Channel. It has a long history having been made a corporate town in 1346 when it provided longbow men to fight at the battle of Crecy under the command of the Black Prince. The sons of those brave men were honoured as “Freemen of Llantrisant”, a tradition that continues to this day. Now, Llantrisant is well known as the home of the Royal Mint.

The Llantrisant Choir is one of the oldest and best known choirs in Wales. The first mention of the choir dates back to Saint David’s day 1898 when it gave a concert at a waxworks exhibition in the town. The choir has been in continuous existence ever since with membership varying from 100 between the wars to only 12 by the mid sixties. The present membership of 40 enables the choir to perform in any venue from small churches to large concert halls such as the Royal Albert Hall, St David’s Hall, Wales Millennium Centre and the International Arena in Cardiff. The choir is proud to have performed with Tom Jones, Shirley Bassey, Bryn Terfel, Dennis O’Neal and other well known singers.

Although steeped in the Welsh male voice choir tradition of folk songs and hymns, the Llantrisant Male Choir has a very wide repertoire embracing the “war horses” of yesteryear, arrangements of modern pop songs, negro spirituals, folk songs, hymns and the world of opera.

The choir has extensive engagements in Wales and England and is in demand overseas, having recently returned from Holland and Belgium. The choir was invited to sing at prestigious concerts and events to mark the 65th anniversary of the liberation of the city of s-Hertogenbosch in 1944.

Previous tours have included, Germany, California, Cyprus, Italy, Poland, Jersey, Normandy, Austria and Slovakia.
