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.

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.
