Formed in 1949, Côr
Meibion Pontypridd has continued to provide an opportunity
for eager male choristers to experience the unique atmosphere
of strong Welsh Singing established by our forefathers in
the last century.

Tabor
Hall
Tabor
Hall , is our
'home', located in Vaughan Street, Pwllgwaun, Pontypridd.
As the
name suggests, Tabor Hall was originally built as
a place of worship, serving the believers of the
Methodist
faith
for many years and the late Lord Tonypandy preached there
on many occasions. The demise of the Christian worship at
many chapels in the sixties and seventies resulted in the
inevitable closure of Tabor Hall as a place of worship.
Choir

As
well as the more formal concerts the Choir
gives its support to a number of weddings
and special events each year.
With
our membership now exceeding 60, we usually stage
35 - 40 choristers, which means that we can accommodate
venues from small halls and clubs to large concert
halls.
The Choir performs an eclectic mix of musical styles ranging from shows
and operas, spirituals, traditional as well as English and Welsh hymns
form the choir's wide-ranging repertoire and can accommodate most events.
Weddings have become a speciality of
the choir, however we also cater for other events such as
fundraising, corporate events, church festivals, dinners,
reunions etc., in fact almost any event you would care to
name!
