FOR the first time ever, the highly acclaimed Australian Welsh Male Choir (AWMC) will delight and enthral audiences from atop the spectacular Shepparton Art Museum (SAM) on Sunday, March 19.

Sharing a passion for music and song, 60 choristers will lift their voices with spine tingling four-part, harmony, as they sing songs in several languages, including Welsh.

Proudly hosted by the SAM Foundation, the 49-year-old choir will feature songs such as Men of Harlech, Calon Lan, Pantyfedwen and Gwahoddiad, while also performing popular music from musical theatre, opera, gospel and other favourites.
