Auckland Welsh Choir
Côr Cymreig. A Kiwi choir with a Celtic connection
Join us if you love to sing
We are a community choir who provide a welcoming environment to develop, challenge and enjoy ourselves as singers. Under our Music Director’s guidance we strive for musical and vocal excellence while making friends and helping the community.
Our music draws on a rich range of folk songs with a Celtic flavour, as well as our cornerstone Welsh language repertoire. We usually sing in four part harmony, enjoying also the traditional choral repertoire of sacred and secular songs. At times we perform more challenging larger scale concert works using guest instrumentalists. Besides English and Welsh, we have also sung in Latin, German, French, Italian, Māori, Mandarin, Russian and even Estonian.
Come along to a concert or enquire about attending a rehearsal if you’d like to join our choral family. We have a scholarship available for any interested younger members.

Our other main aims are to promote and value Welsh language and music, to maintain a lively, enjoyable and social programme for our members, to strive always for choral excellence, and to challenge ourselves to explore varied repertoire while maintaining our cornerstone of Welsh music.
We have partnered with multiple charities in the past.
