Featuring Cerys Matthews, Catrin Finch and Sinfonia Cymru Critics Circle Award winning company, Ballet Cymru, present an extraordinary double bill of new work featuring some of Wales most outstanding artists. TIR Following the sell out success of Ballet Cymru’s team up last year with Cerys Matthews’, the company reprise this iconic work for one night only. Cerys’ iconic album of Welsh Folk Music is the inspiration for TIR and choreographers Darius James and Amy Doughty have used 11 of the songs from the album to create a unique work especially for the dancers of Ballet Cymru. Cerys herself is playing the music live on stage with the company. Cerys Matthews fronted one of the biggest Welsh pop bands to emerge in the Britpop era of the 1990s. Catatonia released five albums, but their biggest success came in 1998 with their third album International Velvet. CELTIC CONCERTO Ballet Cymru will be teaming up with harpist and composer Catrin Finch and orchestra Sinfonia Cymru to produce a new work based on Catrin’s first composition “Celtic Concerto”. Featured on the No 1 selling album “Blessing“, Celtic Concerto is a once only opportunity to see Ballet Cymru dance with Catrin Finch and 10 members of Sinfonia Cymru live on stage. Ballet Cymru are a young, vital group of dancers who are pushing back the barriers of classical ballet. “These young ballet pioneers deserve wider support. Catch them if you can.” The Dancing Times. |
