The Tabernacle Morriston choir
was formed in 1876 and is still one of the largest mixed
choirs in Wales.
The choir has sung in many venues
throughout the country, including The Royal Albert Hall,
St. David’s Hall Cardiff, Llandaff Cathedral, The Brangwyn
Hall Swansea as well as its regular performances at the famous
Tabernacle Chapel, Morriston.
The choir has performed many times
for Radio 3, Radio Cymru, BBC1 and BBC2. The choir was the
first Welsh choir to appear on BBC2 singing Bloch’s Sacred
Service with the late Sir Geraint Evans.
The choir has made a number of overseas
tours. The first was a visit to Brussels in 1992, Hungary
in 1994 to take part in a performance of Belshazar’s Feast,
Pau, Swansea’s French twin town, in 1997 and Vienna in 2000.
The choir takes great pride in encouraging
young singers embarking on a professional career such as
Bryn Terfel, Rebecca Evans, Jason Howard, Richard Allen,
Natalya Romaniw, Janet Watson and numerous others. In recognition
of this, it was a great honour when Bryn Terfel, who has
sung with the choir many times, agreed to become the choir’s
Life Patron. |

Sefydlwyd
Côr Tabernacl Treforys ym 1876, ac mae'n dal i fod yn un
o'r corau cymysg hynaf yng Nghymru.
Mae'r
côr wedi canu mewn llawer o leoliadau amrywiol led - led
y wlad, gan gynnwys Neuadd Frenhinol Albert, Llundain,
Neuadd Dewi Sant, Caerdydd, Eglwys Gadeiriol Llandaf, Neuadd
Y Brangwyn, Abertawe yn ogystâl a 'i berfformiadau rheolaidd
yng Nghapel enwog Y Tabernacl, Treforys.
Mae'r
côr wedi canu droeon ar Radio 3, Radio Cymru, BBC 1, a
BBC 2. Côr Y Tabernacl oedd y côr Cymreig cyntaf i ymddangos
ar BBC 2, yn canu Gwasanaeth Cysegredig Bloch, gyda'r diweddar
Syr Geraint Evans.
Mae
sawl taith dramor wedi bod. Ymweliad a Brwsel oedd y tro
cyntaf ym 1992, wedyn Hwngari ym 1994 i gymryd rhan mewn
perfformiad o Wledd Belshazar. Ym 1997, aeth y côr i Pau,
gefeilldref Abertawe, ac ar ôl hynny i Vienna yn 2000.
Mae'r
côr yn falch iawn i roi cyfle i gantorion ifanc sy'n dechrau
ar yrfa broffesiynol - rhai megis Bryn Terfel, Rebecca
Evans, Jason Howard, Richard Allen, Natalya Romaniw, Janet
Watson a llu o rai eraill. Mewn cydnabyddiaeth o hyn, roedd
yn anrhydedd mawr i ni pan gytunodd Bryn Terfel, sy wedi
canu gyda'r côr nifer o weithiau, i fod yn Llywydd Oes
Côr Tabernacl Treforys. |
