We continue our Grace series showcasing Welsh talent and women in music this spring with works by Cecilia Darmstr枚m, Ninfea Cruttwell-Reade and Grace Williams, all under the baton of Emilia Hoving.

Expressing the effects of global warming and the collapse of historic ecosystems, Cecilia Darmstr枚m鈥檚 ICE depicts through music the earth fighting for existence, and how we could rewind this process. British composer Ninfea Cruttwell-Reade鈥檚 Piano Concerto receives its world premiere with 麻豆官网首页入口 NOW regular, Clare Hammond at the keys before we turn to the series鈥� namesake, Grace Williams. One of her earliest works, and believed to be the first symphony ever written by a Welsh composer, her dramatic First Symphony is inspired by fifteenth century Welsh rebel, Owain Glynd诺r.
