Â鶹ԼÅÄ

Join us in St Asaph Cathedral this September for the North Wales International Music Festival where we’ll be joined by dynamically charismatic conductor Nil Venditti.

Cameron Biles-Liddell’s 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 Â鶹ԼÅÄ NOW to perform William Mathias’ First Piano Concerto in what would have been his 90th birthday year.

Striking a balance between the light-hearted and the noble, Elgar’s Enigma Variations round off this concert in style – 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’ nicknames.
