~ Welcome ~
to the Wollongong Welsh Choir
Croeso i'r Côr Cymraeg Wollongong ...
The Wollongong Welsh Choir was formed in 1994 by Judith Overton
to promote Welsh culture in the Illawarra region. The choir currently
has forty male and female singers, one-third of whom are Welsh-born.
The choir performs in both English and Welsh, but a knowledge of the
Welsh language is not essential for joining the choir. People of all
nationalities who enjoy choral singing are welcome to join. In
particular, male singers are always in short supply.
Under the leadership of its current Musical Director Michael
Sweeney-Knapp,
the choir is available to perform at a variety of functions and venues,
including multicultural events and concerts, church gatherings, weddings,
fairs, markets and retirement homes.
The choir sang at Sydney Opera House in 2005 and 2007.
 
The choir's repertoire ranges from traditional Welsh hymns and folk songs to popular songs
from musicals. The choir is most fortunate to have as its accompanist Ms Lisa Baraldi
of Albion Park.
PLEASE NOTE
From 4th AUGUST 2009
The choir will rehearse every Tuesday evening from 7.30pm - 9.30pm at:
the Unanderra Community Centre
Corner of Factory Rd. & the Princes Highway,
Unanderra.
NSW 2526
