What is it?
The Festival of Welsh Music in London celebrates the long tradition of music making in the capital of England by those who have a connection to Wales in an exciting annual weekend of concerts and competitions.
The vision for the festival was the brainchild of Edward-Rhys Harry, musical director of the London Welsh Chorale. The result of which is that the festival is hosted and curated by a committed team of members from The London Welsh Chorale with Dr Harry as Artistic Director.
The aims of the festival are:
To provide performance opportunities for music by composers who have an association with Wales
To celebrate the history, community and music making of the London Welsh community
To play a part in nurturing the emerging solo artistes (vocal or instrumental) of the future
Where possible, to commission new works by composers, who have an association with Wales, for premiere performances in London
