Founding and early history

Roger Ascham’s Port Elizabeth Male Voice Choir was inaugurated on December 4, 1911, at the Port Elizabeth Town Hall.

Its origins can be traced back to the founding of the Cambrian Male Voice Choir which took place in the Port Elizabeth Town Hall on November 15, 1905.

The Cambrian Male Voice Choir was trained and conducted by Miss Attie Temple Richards until she left Port Elizabeth in 1909.
