The Chorus sings a wide repertoire of music drawn from classical, pop, musical theatre and folk as well as the more traditional welsh hymns that are often expected! ​Since it was established, the choir has raised many thousands of pounds for charitable causes over the years.​ We rehearse at the Craven Arms Community Centre every Monday evening at 7:30pm, with the exception of bank holidays, January, and August.  less

III Sing to us, cedars; your voice is so lowly, Your breathing so fragrant, your branches so strong; Our little nest-cradles are swaying so slowly, While zephyrs are breathing their slumberous song. And we swing, swing, While your branches Sing, And we drowse to your dreamy whispering. http://www.choirplace.com...    less

For centuries, song has played a key role in community, culture and story-telling worldwide. Yet how many people dare to sing freely these days... apart from in the shower? Community singing empowers voices that have been silenced, unleashes creative potential... and that's just the start. Please like, share and comment on our videos to celebrate the joy of song! WHAT WE DO Every week, Creativity Australia's With One Voice choirs inspire people from more than 40 nationalities, aged 9 to 90, to sing side-by-side. Age, race, language, religion, disability and disadvantage fade away. Everyone is welcome. WHY WE DO IT For some, choir is a way to de-stress after work. For others, it's a first glimpse into Australian life after arriving here as a migrant, asylum seeker or refugee. For others, it's an opportunity to connect to networks, skills and employment. It's all about joy, freedom and inspiration. When diverse voices sing together, peopl...    less
