We are delighted to be welcoming our guest artist, the very talented flautist, Ruth Stone. Ruth is a most accomplished musician and we know you will enjoy watching and listening to her play. So come on down and see what we mean.

We are also pleased to be welcoming back to conduct our choir Mr Tom Buchanan OAM. Tom has been travelling with the Australian Welsh Male Choir on a tour of Wales, London and France. Following this, he and his family enjoyed a well earned rest travelling through the north of Europe.

In his absence, Ms Sian Parry has been taking care of all things musical at our rehearsals and we have thoroughly enjoyed having her expertise and warm and happy countenance throughout the last nine weeks. Thank you Sian!

We hope to see you all there so we can sing some of our very favourite songs for you. See you then!

Yes!! The headlines are true! We are heading down to Flinders this Friday afternoon to launch our inaugural music workshop.
This initiative was suggested to us by our Musical Director, Tom Buchanan, and the choir said yes indeed, without any hesitation.
There will be a lot of musical work involved, but there will also be a lot of fun too.
We are delighted to be visiting Flinders and hope that you say Hello to us if you see us around town.
There are exciting plans ahead in 2026 for our choir and we will keep you abreast of these developments. Stay tuned to this page!
Thank you to the Southern Peninsula, Westernport and Mornington Newspapers for sharing our news in your newspapers. We are always grateful for the opportunity to promote our choir. Cheers to you all! 😃

Glorious evening of wine, cheese and song!!!

Last night the beautiful Somerville Mechanics Institute shone like a magnificent old jewel as our fabulous Mornington Peninsula Welsh Ladies choir sang to a very appreciative audience.
The mood was joyous as audience members enjoyed a wonderful repertoire of songs. They were captivated by the superb voice of Norah Xia, a very talented young soprano whose diminutive size belied her magnificent voice which soared through the rafters. Keep an eye out for her in the future!
If you missed out getting a ticket for this sold out concert, do not stress, we will be singing again in Flinders in August.
Keep an eye out for future posts regarding our concert on Sunday 9 August at 2pm when we sing at St John’s Anglican Church. There will, of course be a delicious afternoon tea following the concert.
We sincerely thank our sponsors of this concert and who made our performance possible -
The Mornington Peninsula Shire; Bendigo Bank - Mount Martha; Melbourne Welsh Church and Baramban Organic Dairy.
We look forward to singing for you all soon! 😊😊

So, here's an idea. Bring her to our wonderful Noson Lawen concert on 2 May (the weekend before Mothers Day) where you can enjoy a fabulous concert with your mum, enjoy some wine and cheese and listen to the fabulous Norah Xia, our guest soprano. This elegant soiree will be the gift that is just a little bit different - and one that will be remembered with fondness!
