Welcome to the website of
CWMBRAN BAROQUE
SINGERS
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, including those by
such varied 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, Germany, and has
exchanged visits with them on four occasions.
In recent years, the choir has enjoyed a number of successful tours
to Prague, Salzburg, St. Petersburg and Florence as well as
Budapest and Krakow. The choir now regards itself as an
international choir, singing in many different styles and many
different languages.
