About our choir

The Taff Ely Ladies Choir, a vibrant ensemble of women, emerged in February 2022 within the charming village of Coed Ely, nestled between Llantrisant and Tonyrefail in Wales. This idyllic setting provides the backdrop for their weekly rehearsals, held every Wednesday evening at the local community center. The choir's name itself reflects a deep connection to the region, drawing inspiration from the two majestic rivers, the Taff and the Ely, which converge to meet the sea at Cardiff. This geographical link symbolizes the choir's roots and its place within the vibrant Welsh cultural landscape. Beyond their weekly gatherings, the Taff Ely Ladies Choir actively engages with the community through a variety of performances. Their dedication to sharing their musical talents has taken them beyond the local area, with notable appearances at the prestigious National Eisteddfod in Pontypridd in 2023. This significant achievement underscores their commitment to excellence and their desire to showcase their vocal artistry on a wider stage. Furthermore, the choir has graced audiences with their performances in several other locations, including Blackwood, Llantrisant, Ogmore Vale, and Dinas Powys. These diverse concert experiences provide valuable opportunities for the choir to connect with different audiences, share their passion for music, and enrich the cultural life of the surrounding communities. The Taff Ely Ladies Choir exemplifies the power of music to bring people together, foster a sense of community, and enrich the lives of both the singers and their listeners. Their dedication to their craft, coupled with their commitment to sharing their musical gifts, makes them a valuable asset to the cultural tapestry of Wales.
