In the early eighties, Kelvin was involved in founding Cambrensis to sing at the meetings of the Baptist World Alliance in Los Angeles. Since then, the members of Cambrensis have travelled, recorded and broadcast extensively. Highlights of the Cambrensis calendar are the annual Christmas and Easter concerts at the St David's Hall in Cardiff which are always sold out within minutes of tickets going on sale.
As part of the 2006 Raglan Music Festival, Cambrensis choir and orchestra under the inspirational direction of Kelvin Thomas will be providing the backbone for a rehearsal and performance of Handel's oratorio open to all who would like to sing Messiah from Scratch.
