Nidus Choir take to the stage at the Motorpoint Arena, Cardiff 2019.
Nidus Children’s Choir was formed in the autumn of 2006 after a small group of primary school children won a gold medal in the Summer at a local eisteddfod after just two short rehearsals. The group grew steadily in numbers and achieved much success over the following years.....
1 Won a silver medal at the World Choir Games in Graz, Austria in 2008.
2. Had a tour to Paris, where a number of successful concerts finished with a packed audience at L'église de la Madeleine.
3. The choir won the title Show Choir of the World at the Llangollen International Eisteddfod in 2013 under the name 'Ysbrydoliaeth'
4. In 2014, performed at the NATO summit's 'Best in Wales' evening.
5. Won another silver medal at the World Choir Games in Riga, Latvia in 2014 but this time in the Champion of Champions category which meant that every choir competing against us had been placed in the top 3 of a recognised international competition.
6. Performed 'The Happy Wanderer' at the opening concert of Llangollen International Eisteddfod as a surprise for their guests from Germany who were in the original choir who won with that song many years ago.
7. Recorded with Bryn Terfyl for his Christmas CD, Catrin Finch on her CD 'Lullabies' & Greek composer Vangelis at the Metropolis Studios.
8. Performed before HRH the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall at a ceremony of renaming the Severn Bridge the Prince of Wales Bridge, to celebrate the Severn Bridge being taken back into public ownership with the removal of all tolls.
The choir has also worked/performed with and before many other famous and talented people, Ralph Allwood, Islwyn Evans, Max Boyce, Ian Botham and Carwyn Jones, First Minister of Wales.
Over the course of a normal year the choir's performances range from mini concerts in wards for the elderly long term patients at a local hospital, civic events, weddings, community groups to guest appearances with other leading choirs in Wales as well as our own concerts. We sing a wide range of pieces from classical, modern classics and show choir material,aspiring to be an outstanding choir performing a varied repertoire.
The choir is keen to audition any children aged 8 and older who love singing and then give them a first class, high level training in music and singing, in return for enthusiasm and commitment. The choir has members from as far away as Brecon, Monmouth, Chepstow and Gloucestershire as well as from Newport, Cwmbran and Pontypool.
