Choral Music at its best

Welcome! Croeso!

At Brecon Choir Festival we believe in the unique power of choral music to bring people together, to create new friendships and lifelong memories.

​Some things you can expect to experience at the festival:

  • ​World renowned Welsh passionate singing culture combined with the finest of international traditions

  • ​Unique audience participation opportunities to experience the transformative power of choral music

  • ​Newly commissioned music from first class composers and fascinating discussion from leading academics based on our festival theme 

  • ​Opportunities to learn about and explore the incredible natural landscape surrounding Brecon which has inspired creatives for centuries.

​What to expect

Our festivals start with a Festival Chorus and ends with a "Cymanfu Ganu", a special Welsh tradition of communal hymn singing in both English and Welsh.

​Along the way, you can take part in the many free communal events including the Festival Hike (followed by 'Welsh Cakes and a Cuppa') our Festival Choir Trail in locations around Brecon and finally our famous Afterglows where we sing the night away in true Welsh style.  

Our 2025 line up will appeal to the long-time choral aficionado as much as the ‘choral curious’ individual who may never have attended similar events before.

For 2025 The Hours Cafe will be the ‘hub’ for the festival conveniently located in the Cathedral Close. There will be plenty of homemade cakes and refreshments available throughout the weekend!

Wherever you are travelling to, from near or far, you will experience a weekend to remember here in this stunning part of the world. We look forward to welcoming you in 2025.
