Choir of the Year 2016

From the Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff, Sara Mohr-Pietsch presents the finale of the Choir of the Year 2016 competition, in which six of the UK's best amateur choirs compete.

After months of competition, just six of the UK's best amateur choirs remain as Choir of the Year 2016 reaches its thrilling finale. The stakes are high, the tension is building as they take to the stage at Cardiff's Wales Millennium Centre, each determined to win over a judging panel that includes The Sixteen's Harry Christophers and Only Men Aloud's Tim Rhys Evans. Sara Mohr-Pietsch is joined by the conductor, composer and singer Ben Parry for expert commentary on all the action; at the end of the evening only one choir can scoop up the title "Choir of the Year".
