We rehearse every Tuesday evening from September to June at the Cambrian Hall in Vancouver, perform concerts locally, regionally, and worldwide, and hold social events for members. COMMUNITY FOCUS

We present a dozen concerts per year and perform benefit concerts helping to raise thousands of dollars for charitable causes such as St James' Music Academy. Our Community Outreach Program provides free admission to some who lack the funds to attend our concerts. BUILDING INTO THE LIVES OF YOUNG PEOPLE

We encourage youth involvement in choral music by inviting outstanding secondary school choirs to join us in many of our concerts. We also involve students from UBC's opera program in our concerts on a regular basis.

As spring turns to summer, we gather one final time to celebrate the complete journey—from the old Welsh tradition to our vibrant modern community, from individual voices to lasting brotherhood. Songs of Home and Horizon welcomes back alumni for a musical reunion that honours both our Welsh choral heritage and the diverse family of men we’ve built together.

Since 1980, men from every background have found something in this choir that modern life too often denies us: a place to be vulnerable, to connect deeply, and to express what words alone cannot. This special finale reunites current members with returning alumni—men who once stood where we stand, discovered the healing power of the Welsh choral tradition, and learned that being part of something larger than yourself changes everything.

Featuring the music that has defined our season—from Leonard Cohen’s timeless “Hallelujah” to traditional favorites like “Fields of Athenry,” “We’ll Keep a Welcome,” and “The Wellerman”—we’ll close our year the way those Welsh founders would have wanted: with gratitude, with strength found in each other, and with voices raised together.

To our alumni: return and remember why you started singing. To our guests: discover why men from every walk of life keep coming back, year after year, to honour this tradition and stand shoulder to shoulder in song.

Welcome home. Welcome back. The tradition continues.
