2017 had a number of highlights for the Melbourne Welsh Male Choir.

The biggest highlight was our tour of the UK in April/May where we performed 11 concerts in 12 days through Cornwall, Wales and with a final concert in Weybridge on 6th May.

We also competed in the 2017 Cornwall International Male Voice Choir Festival, currently the largest male voice choir festival in the world with over 60 Choirs and 3000 choristers taking part.

We performed at the Eden project, in Truro Cathedral, the Hall for Cornwall and in St Austell and Bude Methodist Churches. The choir proudly sang in each of its allotted shared concerts and did well in the competition element held in the Hall for Truro, coming 6th out of 13 choirs which included several from America, Canada and Europe.

At the conclusion of the festival we travelled to Wales for a joint concert with the Maesteg Gleemen, and in Swansea, what we had expected to be a quiet informal get together with the Morriston Orpheus turned into a mini concert which was filmed for 24C the Welsh Language TV station.
