Friends of Cwmdu Music–next Saturday 10th May
Join us next Saturday, 10th May at 7:30pm in Cwmdu for a concert that brings South American colour to the Black Mountains! The Rhossili Duo (flute and guitar), with a programme called 'Last Tango'. It includes Histoire du Tango by Piazzola, Romanian Dances by Bartok, Dafydd y garreg wen and Suo gan (Welsh folk songs) arranged by Stephen Goss and Sonatina by Castelnuovo-Tedesco. Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama alumni Gabriella Alberti and Cai Charles will introduce each work and explain the background to this distinctive music.
