- Pendyrus Male Choir
Who are they?
Pendyrus Male Choir has performed at all the major venues throughout the British Isles as well as undertaking extensive tours abroad. Previously a champion of competition, the choir has not competed since 1968. Under the direction of the late Glynne Jones MBE the choir maintained much of the traditional repertoire but also achieved an enviable reputation for broadening its horizons. They explored 16th century Italian church music and lesser-known works by classical composers, and became acknowledged for their performance of contemporary British, European and American compositions. They also commissioned works by several Welsh composers. This wide-ranging repertoire has earned the choir frequent performances with the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, with international soloists and under the direction of distinguished conductors. It is also the only Welsh choir to have been invited to the prestigious Aldeburgh Festival. Since its first overseas concert tour in 1965, Pendyrus Male Choir has toured in Canada, America, Australia and New Zealand. It has also performed in Brussels, St Petersburg and Moscow.
