Blackstone-Ipswich Cambrian Choir

About

Blackstone-Ipswich Cambrian Choir Inc. (the organisation) had its beginnings as the Blackstone-Ipswich Cambrian Choir. The Choir was founded in 1886 as an adult SATB choir, with the express purpose of competing in what was to become the Queensland Eisteddfod. Given this extensive history, it is now reputed to be Queensland’s longest continuously-performing community choir.

Over the years, the choir has developed into a more broad-based organisation. It now incorporates five ensembles, each with its own distinctive role to play in fostering the development of artistic and musical excellence in the Ipswich community.

Cambrian Youth Choir

Junior Cambrian Choir
The Junior Cambrian Choir is a delightful and enthusiastic group of primary school children from Years 1 to 6 who enjoy making music for pleasure.

Coro Concorde

It is an ensemble for adult singers of all ages in the Ipswich community who seek extra singing opportunities or who, for a variety of reasons (family/work commitments, age, transport etc.), are unable to commit to the rehearsal and performance schedule of the Senior Choir.
