About Us
Cwmbran Baroque Singers was formed in 1971.
Dr Geoffrey Tyler was the founder and his vision of creating a chamber choir to sing little known works, primarily of baroque origin, continues to this day.
The repertoire has expanded to include works from the last seven centuries, with such composers as King Henry VIII and Bob Chilcott.
The choir has performed on BBC radio and television. It has won many local eisteddfodau and was the winner of a national television competition.
Based in Cwmbran, Torfaen, South Wales, the choir has travelled widely at home and abroad.
It has a special relationship with the Madrigalchor of Cwmbran's twin town, Bruchsal in Germany and has exchanged visits with them on four occasions.
In recent years, the choir, with Prague, Salzburg, St. Petersburg and Florence visited so far, has enjoyed concert tours to great European cities.
Tallinn, Barcelona and Budapest are on the short list for 2006.
The choir now regards itself as an international choir, singing in many different styles and many different languages.
