Bringing communities together one song at a time!

   
 

Côr Cymry Gogledd America is a community choir with a continental presence that seeks to reflect the North-American Welsh experience through music and song.  Drawing on a rich cultural heritage, the choir strives to create a new musical genre reflecting what it means to be both Welsh and North American.

Founded in 1998 by Mari Morgan, the choir currently has a roster of more than 70 choristers who live in 18 United States and four Canadian provinces.  The choristers are connected virtually using their website as a communications hub.  The website holds regional rehearsal and concert schedules, practice song tracks, lessons in Welsh pronunciation, and community news.  An email newsletter completes the electronic picture.

The choristers include the descendants of Welsh immigrants, expatriates, and those who feel connected with the music and the community that is Côr Cymry Gogledd America.  The choir's repertoire includes many commissioned works from American and Canadian composers and Welsh and American writers.  The choir also honors its Welsh roots and presents both old and new favorites.  Côr Cymry Gogledd America's program seeks to connect a musical genre that spans both centuries and continents.

As part the 2010 bicentenary celebrations of Argentina's May Revolution, the British Council, the United Kingdom’s international organisation for cultural relations and educational opportunities, launched an exciting new initiative:  Sporting Nations.

Sporting Nations focuses on one of the strongest links between Argentina and the United Kingdom:  sport.  One of the components of the Sporting Nations initiative is the Sporting Nations Community Choirs, an educational initiative to create choral workshops and a unique series of concerts across three Argentine provinces.  Mari Morgan is Artistic Director and Conductor of the Sporting Nations Community Choirs.
