Nidus singing at the Llangollen International Eisteddfod, July 2010
Nidus Children’s Choir was formed in the autumn of 2006 after a small group of primary school aged children won a gold medal in the summer at a local eisteddfod after just two short rehearsals. The group has grown steadily in numbers and achieved much success over the few years the choir has been together.
In 2008 after a gruelling fundraising campaign, the choir qualified to compete in the World Choir Games in Graz, Austria, where they were thrilled to be awarded a Silver VII diploma in a competition with over 65 successful & well established children’s choirs from all over the world.
The choir currently stands at 42 regular members plus 2 trainees and during 2011 performed publicly over 25 times, with performances ranging from mini concerts in wards for the elderly long term patients at a local hospital, civic events, weddings, WIs, Senior Citizen Groups, guest appearances with other leading choirs in Wales as well as our own concerts. During 2011, the choir also recorded 2 CD's, appeared live on 'Wedi Saith' (S4C) and took part in a tour to Paris; singing at Disneyland Paris, by the foot of the Eiffel Tower, and in 'La Madeleine' church.
