With members who have sung alongside Bryn Terfel, Katherine Jenkins, Aled Jones and Catrin Finch, Vivace Singers are, unsurprisingly, in high demand as an experienced female vocal ensemble. The singers have performed and recorded extensively as freelancers for BBC, S4C, EMI, Chandos, Priory and Sain.

Formed at The Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama their aim is to present a wide range of a cappella and accompanied music for female voices. They perform in styles ranging from madrigals through to pop, and with in-house arrangers they can work with clients to tailor-make performances where required.

Well-recognised on both the National and International stage, they have appeared at a number of venues and events ranging from the Wales Millennium Centre and St David's Hall, to the Lower Machen Festival and Halifax Chamber Music Festival. In April 2004 they were privileged to represent Great Britain at America Cantat IV held in Mexico City.

As well as performing as an independent ensemble, they are often asked to collaborate with others and have been invited to perform with many of the leading male voice choirs. Working with Tim Rhys Evans' choirs Serendipity and Only Men Aloud they commissioned John Hardy to write a choral cycle entitled "Spaces - beyond the end of the world" in June 2006. This was supported by funding from the Arts Council of Wales and the PRS Foundation.

In the studio, they have recorded two CDs: Blue Moon, where traditional folksongs, breezy jazz and well-known pop songs from the eighties are given a dynamic new choral twist, and Christmas with Vivace Singers.
