Friends of Cwmdu Music - New Year
A belated Happy New Year!
Firstly, some administrative changes:
- we have a new website at https://info.cwmdumusic.org which we hope should prove simpler to navigate (more information below)
- our email for general enquiries and booking accessible parking at concerts is now info@cwmdumusic.org.
Next concert
Our first concert of 2024 will be a much-anticipated solo violin performance by Rachel Podger as a very special celebration of our tenth anniversary.

Tickets for this concert will be available from January 15th via the ticket page on the website. (You can also find a link on the website 'home' page.) As this is likely to be a very popular concert, we recommend booking early, as there will be only a few tickets for purchase at the door.
You will notice that we have raised the ticket price to £18 just for this particular concert because of the outstanding calibre of the performer.
Prize draw
We are happy to announce that the winner this year was Kat Astley. Encourage your friends to sign up to this newsletter, so that they might be lucky next year!
Website
Our new website is presented in a 'blog' style, with chronologically-listed entries. We'll label each entry with tags, which gives you the opportunity to focus on information which is of most interest. For example, you can see just information related to our next concert or all Friends of Cwmdu Music concerts, which will contain reviews about past concerts.
Information about these, other concerts in the area and general music items will also be on the home page.
