Ty ar y mynydd - Toronto Welsh Male Voice Choir (CD)

Description

The Toronto Welsh Male Voice Choir was established in 1995 when its founding member Gwyn Roberts gathered together a group of like-minded individuals of Welsh heritage who sought to rekindle the spirit of traditional Welsh male voice singing in their adopted country. The choir proudly draws on the great Welsh tradition of singing hymns and songs born of the mountains and valleys of Wales. At the same time it emphasizes a multicultural context in its broad repertoire which also includes spirituals, operatic arias, Canadian folk songs as well as Broadway show tunes and contemporary music. Our blend of traditional and contemporary music, all sung off book in accordance with tradition, appeals to a broad audience. As a Canadian based choir, in addition to our Welsh born and Welsh heritage members we draw on members from Ontario's broad ethnic community and their shared love of singing. In July 2013 the Choir embarked on a very successful performance tour of Wales and sang the songs on this CD at various venues in the ancestral home of many of its members.
