Cor Meibion Talgarth Male Choir

Formed in 1969 Talgarth Choir has been entertaining audiences for nearly 40 years. Over this period, hundreds of concerts have been given throughout the United Kingdom and a considerable sum has been raised for numerous charities. Although a large proportion of concerts take place within 30 miles radius of Talgarth itself, the choir endeavours, where possible, to also accept as many invitations from further afield.

They have sung at the Royal Albert Hall on five occasions, twice at the Millennium Stadium as part of the World Choir and three times in the Festival of Remembrance concert at St. Davids Hall, Cardiff. Exchange visits have also been made with Brixham Orpheus and Chelmsford Male Voice Choirs.

The choir has visited Holland as part of a combined Welsh Choir and have also had tours to Brittany, Spain and Belgium. This year, in May, the choir is visiting Belgium once again where they will be singing at the Menin Gate. June will find them appearing in the Millennium Centre, Cardiff, and in October they are in Brecon Cathedral singing in a joint concert with a London Welsh RFC choir.

Llangoed Hall Côr Meibon Talgarth has been fortunate to be sponsored by Sir Bernard and Lady Ashley of Llangoed Hall. As part of the Hay festival 2004 the choir gave a concert at Llangoed Hall and performed for the first time in public a specially written song called ‘This Land’ the words of which were written by Ari Ashley with the music composed by Joanna Bates. “This Land” has since been included in the choir's repertoire and is also the title of the choir’s latest recording.

Talgarth Festival of the Black Mountains - Gwyl y Mynydd Du Talgarth The Choir also performs a concert each year as part of the Talgarth Festival, commencing at 7pm on the August Bank Holiday Sunday at St. Gwendoline’s Church Talgarth.
