Community singing since 1947

Welcome!

We are a community choir based in Cefn Hengoed who have been singing since 1947. We have around 40 members, and have developed a wide and varied repertoire.

The choir maintains a busy schedule of concerts and competitions both in the local area and further afield, checkout our Events and News pages for further details.

New members are always welcome!

We meet for practice on a Wednesday night at 7pm during school term time at Derwendeg Primary School CF82 7HP. Come along and try it out – no auditions and no previous experience necessary!
