With members who have sung alongside Bryn Terfel, Katherine Jenkins, Aled Jones and Catrin Finch, Vivace Singers are an experienced ensemble.  The singers have performed and recorded extensively as freelancers for BBC, S4C, EMI, Chandos, Priory and Sain.

Formed in 1998 whilst students at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama their aim is to present a wide range of a cappella and accompanied music for female voices.  They perform in styles ranging from madrigals through to pop.  With in house arrangers they can work with clients to tailormake performances where required.

They have appeared at venues including the Wales Millennium Centre, St David's Hall, Lower Machen Festival, Halifax Chamber Music Festival and were privileged to represent Great Britain at America Cantat IV held in Mexico City during April 2004.  Many of the leading male voice choirs have also invited them to perform with them.  These include Gwalia Singers, the Morriston Orpheus Choir, the Dunvant Male Choir , the Whitland Male Voice Choir and the Haverfordwest Male Voice choir.  They have also shared the stage with Mal Pop and Steve Balsamo at the Swansea Grand Theatre. 

Working collaboratively with Serendipity and Only Men Aloud! they commissioned John Hardy to write a choral cycle entitled "Spaces - beyond the end of the world" in June 2006.  This was supported by funding from the Arts Council of Wales and the PRS Foundation.

They have two CDs available for purchase:

  • Blue Moon where traditional folksongs, breezy jazz and well-known pop-songs from the eighties are given a dynamic new choral twist and
