Synopsis

Biennal choir contest with a great deal less hype and pizazz than what you'd expect from the like of Last Choir Standing (which rather indicates our little soft spot for S4C).

Winners from five category-based heats (Male, Female, Mixed, Youth and Children) take part in a grand final for the title of best choir in the Land of My Fathers along with a tidy £7,000 or so.

2007 saw the introduction of an £1,000 prize for the best conductor during the series.

Champions

2003 - Ysgol Gerdd Ceredigion (youth)
2005 - Serendipity, Cardiff (mixed)
2007 - Cywair, Newcastle Emlyn (mixed)
2009 - Ysgol Gerdd Ceredigion (children)

Best conductor award:
2007 - Mari Pritchard: Côr Ieuenctid Môn (Anglesey Youth Choir)
2009 - Sioned James: Côrdydd, Cardiff

Trivia

The title translates as Choir of Wales.

Recorded at The Great Hall, Aberystwyth Arts Centre.
