Tim Rhys-Evans MBE

Tim believes passionately in the transformative power of music and that everybody should be given the opportunity to engage in the arts. To this end, in 2010 he established The Aloud Charity which runs the choirs Only Boys Aloud and Only Kids Aloud. With the shared aims of reinvigorating the Welsh male choir tradition and affecting real change in the lives of young people from areas of social deprivation, these initiatives have improved the lives of thousands of children from some of the poorest communities in Wales.

Tim’s work means that he has been honoured by several organisations including ordination to the Gorsedd of Bards at the Royal National Eisteddfod in 2010, appointed an MBE by HM The Queen in 2013, an Honorary Doctor of Music from the University of South Wales in 2017 and an Honorary Fellowship of the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama in 2019.

Tim Rhys-Evans was appointed Director of Music at the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama in 2020. He is a highly sought-after choral conductor, arranger, composer and TV presenter.
