Brecon Choir Festival
Connection, creativity and unforgettable singing in the Welsh mountains.
As we look ahead to our fifth anniversary in 2026, we are delighted to announce the theme for this festival:
George Herbert: In Every Corner Sing.
We will continue our journey exploring icons of the Welsh literary imagination through the Powys-born George Herbert, widely considered the greatest devotional poet in the English language.
We look forward to welcoming you back to the heart of Wales for our fifth festival on
16 - 19 July 2026.
