Y GYMDEITHAS
Ffurfiwyd Cymdeithas Corau Meibion Cymru (WAMC) ym 1962. Wedi'i ffurfio'n wreiddiol fel 'undeb llafur' i wella'r amodau ar gyfer corau a chantorion sy'n cymryd rhan yn yr eisteddfodau lleol, mae gan y Gymdeithas bellach dros 100 o gorau aelodau, gan gynnwys 13 côr cysylltiol a 6 chôr tramor, gan gynnwys o'r Unol Daleithiau, Awstralia, Seland Newydd, De Affrica, Canada, a Gweriniaeth Iwerddon.
Mae’r Gymdeithas yn anelu at feithrin a hyrwyddo’r grefft o gerddoriaeth gorawl Meibion a gweithiau corawl Cymreig a hefyd i gysylltu â Sefydliadau Addysgol a Chymdeithasau Diwylliannol ar gyfer ymarfer ac astudio perfformiadau Corawl Meibion ledled y byd.
