Twenty years · 2006–2026
One choir.
A hundred voices.
Un côr. Cant o leisiau.
An award-winning mixed choir from Cardiff. We compete at national level, sing in cathedrals, concert halls and stadiums, and welcome new voices with no auditions.
We're looking for new voices.
From the terraces to the stage
Twenty years of Côr y Gleision
We began in 2006, when S4C's Codi Canu set out to bring singing back to the rugby terraces. The choir outgrew the series and kept on growing.
Today we are a mixed choir of more than 120 voices, led by Richard Vaughan and Rhiannon Pritchard. We sing everything from Welsh hymns and Mozart to new music written for us, in a dozen languages, and we take it to competition stages across Wales and beyond.
Where we sing
Concerts, competitions, tours and matchdays
Award-winning. No auditions.
If you can hold a note, there's a place for you. You don't need to read music or speak Welsh, and you don't need to have sung in a choir before.
