Join us in St Asaph Cathedral this September for the North Wales International Music Festival where we鈥檒l be joined by dynamically charismatic conductor Nil Venditti.
Cameron Biles-Liddell鈥檚 Yr Afon Yn Yr Awyr, inspired by the Pontcysyllte aqueduct, explores the movement of water, from the flowing to the dancelike, the wild and energetic to the playful; before Welsh pianist Ellis Thomas joins 麻豆官网首页入口 NOW to perform William Mathias鈥� First Piano Concerto in what would have been his 90th birthday year.
Striking a balance between the light-hearted and the noble, Elgar鈥檚 Enigma Variations round off this concert in style 鈥� an ingenious collection of musical sketches of his friends and an astute self-portrait; an enigma hidden within the score as each variation is tagged with the initials of the friends鈥� nicknames.
