Who we are
Since 1969 the Cambrian Youth choir has displayed their special music both inter and intra state. The Welsh heritage is always evident and cannot be ignored.
It blossomed at the end of the 19th century when Welsh miners from Blaenau Ffestiniog in North Wales, together with others from the coal mining districs of South Wales, immigrated to Australia and sought work in the coal mining district of Ipswich. These people from the "Land of Song" began the Eisteddfod movement which has given rise to a cultural richness which has been moulded into the artistic and musical treasure that is displayed by the youth sector of this, the longest continuous-running Choral organisation in Australia.
The un-auditioned membership of the Cambrian Youth Choir is drawn from a wide area of South-Eastern Queensland and incorporates both female and male voices of young people ranging in age from 12 to 18 years.
Official adjudicator at eisteddofdau, Peta Blythe from New south Wales comments that this choir is unique to Australia, in that its part singing spans all voices, Sopranos, Altos, tenors and Basses.
