Rehearsal Venues
The choir members come from all parts of South Wales and beyond, with some travelling from Bedford, Bristol, Oxford, Southampton and Hereford. They meet weekly in five groups covering the area, each with its own conductor and accompanist working toward forthcoming concerts. Every three weeks, sometimes more often if necessary, the whole choir meets for four hours practice in Cwmafan consolidating the music learned in the groups.
