Alis Huws: Golden Age of Harp

There will be a pre-concert talk given by the ensemble at 7pm. Experience the rare magic of a harp quintet. Classic FM Rising Star Alis Huws returns to Sinfonia Cymru to lead an ensemble of harp, flute, violin, viola and cello in a programme featuring French and Belgian gems from the golden age of harp music. Alis has paired the beautiful romanticism of these quintets with pieces from Wales and the USA inspired by the natural world, showcasing the exciting ways composers are writing for harp today. A unique opportunity to hear Alis, former Royal Harpist, alongside some of the UKs best musicians under 30. Before the concert you can join the ensemble for an introduction to Joseph Jongens music, where you can learn more about the composer and his masterwork Concert a cinq.
