Croeso i Vic Welsh
We
are Victoria Welsh Choir (Vic Welsh for short), a traditional Welsh
men's choir. As the most Welsh Welsh men's choir in Australia:
At least 25% of what we sing is in Welsh (it's in our constitution) - often it's a lot more
Our Musical Director since 1994, Faleiry Koczkar OAM, is a native Welsh speaker
We hold weekly Welsh pronunciation classes and have been complimented on our pronunciation by audiences in Wales
Our appearances in the Welsh National Eisteddfod in 1999 and 2004 were the first by any expatriate Welsh choir since 1929
We have led the singing at Cymanfa Ganu Hymn Festivals held by the Welsh Church in Melbourne since our foundation
- Every four years or so we go on a concert tour to Wales and sing with local choirs.
Vic Welsh – Australia’s world class Welsh choir.

Nothing like the mellowness of a male choir.
Have heard the choir before and I loved the performance so had to come again
Fantastic performance - made me nostalgic
Loved audience participation. Enjoyed stories and jokes.
Well done (as it always is).
So glad I finally made a performance.
