The Toronto Welsh Male Voice Choir (TWMVC) was established in 1995 by first president, Gwyn Roberts. The choir continues to grow musically under the direction of William Woloschuk and principal accompanist Matthew Coons. Our blend of traditional and contemporary music, all sung off book in accordance with tradition, appeals to a broad audience.

We perform typically 10 to 12 concerts per season, in the GTA area and further afield in southern Ontario. We have undertaken major tours in Wales, the East Coast, western Canada, and Newfoundland. We remain true to our Welsh tradition; we also include songs in several other languages in our repertoire.

We are always searching for new concert opportunities, and for committed singers to join us. We practice every Wednesday; come along to a rehearsal, and see website for details.
