Cardiff-based choir C\u00f4r CF1 are releasing their third album, Cerddwn Drwy\u2019r Tywyllwch<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Award-winning Cardiff-based choir C\u00f4r CF1 have released their third album, Cerddwn Drwy\u2019r Tywyllwch,<\/a> just in time for Christmas.<\/p>\n

This collection of songs reflects C\u00f4r CF1\u2019s musical journey since 2020, when singing together was not possible.<\/p>\n

Since that time, C\u00f4r CF1 has gone from strength to strength. With each piece the choir shares a part of their story \u2013 a story that intertwines the traditional and modern, hiraeth and happiness, and is testament to the journey of the choir.<\/p>\n

Eilir Owen Griffiths has been the group\u2019s Musical Director since its inception as a youth choir in 2002.<\/p>\n

Talking about the album, Eilir said: \u201cIt\u2019s been nearly 15 years since our last album, and we thought that it was time to record some of our new repertoire, and show how we\u2019ve developed and grown as a choir. These pieces mean a lot to us as an ensemble.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe commissioned some of the pieces and so they\u2019re really special to us, and we\u2019ve won competitions with a few of these as well, which gives them a special place in our hearts.\u201d<\/p>\n
