Côr Cymru is a Welsh TV competition searching for the best choir in Wales, and airing every 2 years on S4C. The first series was presented by Aled Jones and Heledd Cynwal in 2003, but subsequent series have been fronted by Nia Roberts and Gareth Owen.
The show sees choirs competing against each other in knockout-style semi finals in five different categories (female voice, male voice, mixed, youth (16–25 years), and children's choirs). The winners in each category then compete in the live final for the grand title of "Choir of Wales".
Despite a similar show being developed by the BBC in the form of Last Choir Standing, S4C recently revealed Côr Cymru returned for a brand new series in 2009.
Facilities supplied by The Barcud Derwen Group.
The winners of the title so far are:
S4C announced on 5 April 2017, that the winner of Côr Cymru 2017 will represent Wales at the Eurovision Choir of the Year 2017.
