Methu aros!

We’re thrilled to be joining forces with community symphony orchestra Philomusica and Côr ABC Aberystwyth for a very special side-by-side concert at Musicfest Aberystwyth this this Saturday! Together we’ll be performing Welsh composer David de Lloyd’s forgotten masterpiece Tir na N’og.

We’re also delighted that Sinfonia Cymru violinist Thomas Mathias will be stepping into the spotlight as soloist for the world premiere of Kian Ravaei’s new Violin Concerto. A proud Aberystwyth-born musician, Tom returns home for this exciting moment in the town’s musical calendar.

We can’t wait to share the stage with Philomusica, Côr ABC and all the wonderful artists involved for an evening of wonderful music, conducted by festival Director Iwan Davies.
