Brecon Choir Festival

What a year we had in 2023!

We welcomed Treorchy Male Choir, described by Rowan Williams as ‘the voice of a nation’ to headline our Grand Concert at Brecon Cathedral. This concert sold out and we were only a few seats off sell outs for both The Gents of St John’s College, Cambridge, Principality Stadium regulars Eschoir and local favourites Aberhonddu and District Male Voice Choir.

 

We began the 2023 festival with a surprise visit from His Majesty The King with the winner of our Young Singer Award, Erin Thomas singing The Benedictus from Rod Paton’s celebrated Ascension Jazzmass which was the first concert of the festival on Thursday 20th July.

 

Our joyful English and Welsh singing ‘Cymanfa Ganu’ on the Sunday evening raised just over £290 for Brecon Foodbank.

We look forward to welcoming you to Brecon 19 – 21 July 2024.

Brecon Baroque Festival 2023: 20th-23rd October

Message from Rachel Podger, Artistic Director

“It’s nearly 20 years since we launched Brecon Baroque Festival and still it grows and thrives in the lovely setting of the Brecon Beacons National Park. 2023 sees the final part of our ‘Walk with Bach’ series, a three-year adventure which has explored the life and music of JS Bach and those that influenced his career. Bach has always been a central figure in my own music-making so this is an especially exciting project for me.  We look forward to welcoming you to Part 3 between Friday 20 and Monday 23 October 2023.”
