Welcome to the website of Canton Chorus, a thriving and ambitious community choir based in the Cardiff suburb of Canton. As a community choir we are open to everybody – new members don’t have to undergo any form of audition. All we look for is enthusiasm and a willingness to learn; although the ability to read music is an advantage, it’s not a requirement.
We're looking forward to making a joyful noise on the last Saturday evening of January in St John's Church, Canton with a concert of Poulenc, Mendelssohn and Coleridge Taylor - see our flyer below. Our soloists will be Erin Alexander, Victoria Illsley, Mezz Davies and Andre Soares
Attention all singers! We're hosting a fundraiser for the Tenovus charity in the form of a come-and-sing rehearsal and performance of part 1 of Handel's Messiah on Saturday 2 December. Conducted by our old friend Ben Pinnow and with an orchestral accompaniment from Cardiff Concert Orchestra, the occasion should be an appropriate curtain-raiser for the Christmas season. Details below - please note that spaces are limited, so email chair@cantonchorus.org.uk to book your place and avoid disappointment.
We're excited to be back to rehearsals again on Wed Sept 13th at 7.30, with our acting musical director, Ben Teague
We'll be starting work on some cracking pieces for our winter concert
(Sat 27th January 2024 at St Johns Church in Canton):
Felix Mendelssohn - Lauda Sion Francis Poulenc - Gloria
We'd love to welcome new singers, so please do come along & try us out.
