About Welsh Camerata
Cliciwch yma i neidio i'r testun Cymraeg
There is an abundance of high quality amateur music in Wales, and the members of the Welsh Camerata are very proud to belong to that tradition under our Director, Frederick Brown. We are a small choir with around 25 members who live in and around Cardiff. What is different about us is our core repertoire - most of it derives from the European tradition composed between the 15th to the 18th century. As well as including familiar pieces in our concerts, we have also discovered some forgotten masterpieces from an incredibly rich period. Many of our concerts include music performed for the first time ever in Wales. In addition, the choir's repertoire includes more contemporary music, which has often been influenced by techniques and textures from earlier periods, such as for example pieces by Arvo Pärt, Sir James MacMillan and the choir's first director, Andrew Wilson-Dickson. Recently, we have opened the door to a style that is closer to home - Canu Plygain, the old Welsh tradition of singing hymns over Christmas.
Many of our items are performed unaccompanied, but from time to time we sing with instrumentalists, including the Devon Baroque Orchestra and students and staff of the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama.
We practice every Tuesday night in Canton, and currently three concerts are held each year, most of them in local churches. We have also taken part in recordings for BBC Radio 4 and BBC Radio Wales. Alternatively, we can be hired either as a whole choir or as a smaller combination. Let us know if you would like to include us in your event.
If you are interested in joining the Welsh Camerata we would love to hear from you. We usually invite you to come to one of our rehearsals to get an idea of what goes on, before arranging an audition with our Director. All singers must be able to read well at the time and be interested in our repertoire. We would be particularly pleased to hear from tenors and bassists who would like to sing with us. Complete this form to register your interest.
We try to keep our ticket prices reasonable. As a result, we are always very happy to receive financial support, especially for some more ambitious programmes. If you or your company would like to help us, either regularly or on a project-by-project basis, it would be great to hear from you.

Mae yna doreth o gorau amatur o safon uchel yng Nghymru, ac mae aelodau’r Camerata Cymreig yn falch iawn i berthyn I’r traddodiad hwnnw o dan ein Cyfarwyddwr, Frederick Brown. Côr bychan ydym ni gydag oddeutu 25 o aelodau sy’n byw yn ac o gwmpas Caerdydd. Yr hyn sydd yn wahanol amdanom yw ein repertoire craidd – deillia’r rhan fwyaf ohono o’r traddodiad Ewropeaidd a gyfansoddwyd rhwng y 15fed hyd at y 18fed ganrif. Yn ogystal â chynnwys darnau cyfarwydd yn ein cyngherddau, rydym hefyd wedi darganfod rhai campweithiau anghofiedig o gyfnod anhygoel o gyfoethog. Mae nifer o’n cyngherddau yn cynnwys cerddoriaeth a berfformiwyd am y tro cyntaf erioed yng Nghymru. Yn ogystal, mae repertoire y côr yn cynnwys cerddoriaeth fwy cyfoes, sydd wedi’i dylanwadu’n aml gan dechnegau a gweadau o gyfnodau cynharach, megis er enghraifft darnau gan Arvo Pärt, Syr James MacMillan a chyfarwyddwr cyntaf y côr, Andrew Wilson-Dickson. Yn ddiweddar, rydym wedi agor cil y drws i arddull sy’n nes adref – sef Canu Plygain, yr hen draddodiad Cymreig o ganu emynau dros y Nadolig.
Perfformir llawer o’n heitemau’n ddigyfeiliant, ond o bryd I’w gilydd canwn gydag offerynwyr, gan gynnwys Cerddorfa Devon Baroque a myfyrwyr a staff Coleg Brenhinol Cerdd a Drama Cymru.
Ymarferwn bob nos Fawrth yn Nhreganna, ac ar hyn o bryd cynhelir tri chyngerdd bob blwyddyn, y rhan fwyaf ohonynt mewn eglwysi lleol. Rydym hefyd wedi cymryd rhan mewn recordiadau ar gyfer BBC Radio 4 a BBC Radio Wales. Yn ogstal, gellir ein llogi naill ai fel cor cyfan neu fel cyfuniad llai. Gadewch I ni wybod os dymunech ein cynnwys yn eich digwyddiad.
Os oes genych ddiddordeb mewn ymuno a’r Camerata Cymreig byddem wrth ein bodd yn clywed oddi wrthych. Fel arfer byddwn yn eich gwahodd i ddod I un o’n hymarferion i gael syniad o’r hyn sy’n mynd ymlaen, cyn trefnu clyweliad gyda’n Cyfarwyddr. Rhaid I bob canwr fedru darllen ar y pryd yn dda a bod a diddordeb yn ein repertoire. Byddem yn arbennig o falch i glywed gan denoriaid a baswyr a hoffai ganu gyda ni. Cwblhewch y ffurflen hon i gofrestru eich diddordeb.
Rydym yn ceisio cadw prisiau ein tocynnau’n rhesymol. Fel canlyniad, rydym bob amser yn hapus iawn i dderbyn cefnogaeth ariannol, yn enwedig ar gyfer rhai raglenni mwy uchelgeisiol. Os dymunech chi neu’ch cwmni ein helpu, naill ai’n rheolaidd neu fesul prosiect, byddai’n wych clywed oddi wrthych.
