The Welsh Association of Male Choirs is organising a massed Male Choir concert to be held at the Anglican Cathedral, Liverpool on Saturday, 27th June 2026. The concert will feature approximately 450 choristers

The musical team for the concert will be Alwyn Humphreys, Caradog Williams and Huw Tregelles Williams. One of the soloists will be WAMC President, Wynne Evans, and last year’s King’s Harpist, Alis Huws, will be the second soloist.

Participating choirs include; Guernsey Welsh, Aber Valley, Chepstow, Beaufort, Côr Meibion De Cymru, Morriston RFC, Blaenporth, Dowlais, Mynydd Mawr, Cardiff Arms Park, Dunvant, Talgarth and Rhymney Silurian.

There are also a number of choirs on the reserve list.

Ticketing

There is capacity for an audience of 1,000 at the cathedral with an option to add a further 100 seats if necessary.

Tickets for the event will cost £50 and £45.

All audience seating is at ground floor level whilst the choir will have tiered seating.

Participating choirs will have the opportunity to order tickets from 1 September 2025 before they go for public sale on 1st November 2025.

Further information about the purchase of tickets will be provided in due course.

Music

By now, choirs and your musical teams should have received 6 copies of the pdf music scores provided courtesy of our musical director, Alwyn Humphreys. I would like to thank Alwyn for his hard work in their provision.

Arrangements have been made with Active Music Services to provide 2 copies of the remaining sheet music to choir secretaries with documentation about the purchase of further copies.

I emphasise the importance of using the correct music copies as outlined in the original invitation letter. Whilst the words of the song may be the same, the music arranged by other composers is different.
