Côr Cymru is a Welsh TV Competition searching for the best choir in Wales, and airing every 2 years on S4C.
The first series was presented by Aled Jones and Heledd Cynwal, but all subsequent series have been fronted by Nia Roberts and Gareth Owen. The show sees choirs competing against each other in knockout-style semi finals in five different categories:
- Male Voice Choirs
- Female Voice Choirs
- Mixed Voice Choirs
- Youth Choirs (16–25 years)
- Children's Choirs (16 years and younger)
The winners in each category then compete in the live final for the grand title of "Choir of Wales".
The winners of the title so far are:
- 2003: The Ceredigion School of Music
- 2005: Serendipity
- 2007: Cywair
- 2009: The Ceredigion School of Music
- 2011: Cywair
- 2013: Côr Y Wiber
- 2015: Côr Heol y March
Despite a similar show being developed by the BBC in the form of Last Choir Standing, S4C recently revealed Côr Cymru returned for a brand new series in 2009.[1]
