Our story so far -
Cantorion Sanctaidd formed in January 2013 when our musical team discovered a mutual interest in rehearsing and performing sacred and spiritually inspiring music such as anthems by John Rutter. From the outset we have been a group of committed and enthusiastic amateur singers who are prepared to work hard to learn our repertoire but are also able to relax and have fun at the regular social events that we organise.
Over the time that our choir has been running we have performed over many fundraising concerts for churches and charitable causes. We have also had the opportunity to sing in public spaces including Cwmbran Town Centre, Tredegar House, Tesco Superstore, and to Nightshelter guests at the Salvation Army hall in Newport; and we have run day trips to Gloucester Cathedral, Exeter Cathedral and Shrewsbury Abbey, where we have sung free of charge lunchtime concerts.
We regularly receive feedback that compliments our varied and inspiring programme, our passion for the music that we sing, and our exceptional solo artists.
