John Hugh Thomas, former Head of Vocal Studies at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, set up the Swansea Bach Choir in 1965. Under his direction, it has come to be recognised as one of the country's most accomplished chamber choirs. The choir's aim is to present the very best choral works from the past five centuries, to as wide a public as possible. Many of its members are trained singers, music students and teachers of music.

"…..Singing of international standard. The balance and precision….never faltered….moving and technically extraordinary.''
