About Us
Our Choir...
Founded in 2013 by singer songwriter Tanya Walker, the Alive & Kickin’ Community Choir Brecon is a choir for people of all backgrounds and singing abilities.
Thanks to Tanya’s enthusiasm and boundless energy, what started as a small choir with only a hand-full of members has now grown to a well-established and popular choir performing at many events in Brecon and beyond.
We would usually rehearse every Monday evening at The Muse, Glamorgan Street, Brecon. 7-9pm. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic we are currently rehearsing online using Zoom. We are all really missing our get-togethers and can’t wait to start rehearsing in person again when it is safe to do so.
