Our annual concert with the Vale of Glamorgan Festival brings together music by all five of this year’s festival’s featured composers. Like previous collaborations, it is rich in variety and shows the dynamism and thrill of hearing music by living composers from Wales and beyond.
John Metcalf’s Dances from Forgotten Places is a much more personal piece, in part celebrating the inspiration and support of friendship. Each of this collection of six dances – five fast and one slow – is dedicated to one of the composer’s friends and reflective of their personalities.
±«Óătv National Orchestra of Wales is conducted by contemporary music expert Geoffrey Paterson, who is at home working with music as diverse as Steve Reich and West Side Story.
