Tŷ Gwerin

A chance to hear new interpretations of folk songs from Maria Jane Williams' famous 19th century collection 'Ancient National Airs of Gwent and Morgannwg' with Dionne Bennett, Stacey Blythe, Gareth Bonello, Rhian Evan-Jones and Bethan Nia

Awarded the prize for best collection of Welsh airs at the Abergavenny Eisteddfod in 1838 by Lady Llanover, many of the songs are familiar favourites to fans of Welsh folk and classical music, but there are plenty of lesser-known gems in the collection too.

The superb cast of musicians put together especially for this unique session will be performing the new material and discussing the collection and their arrangements
