Crickhowell Choral Society was founded in 1981 by a local GP David Hiley who persuaded any of his patients who said they could sing to join him in creating a choir. From this small group, many of whom are still members, a strong society of some 50 to 60 singers has evolved.
The Choral Society's annual Festival, which takes place during the first weekend in May aims to promote refreshing performances of exciting repertoire amidst the beautiful scenery of the Usk Valley.
