Join Bangor-based classical music group, Ensemble Cymru, for lunch with a difference at Galeri this September. ‘A Taste of Ensemble Cymru’ will see a trio of top chamber music musicians entertain diners with an hour long programme of live music especially chosen to delight and intrigue.
Whether you’re new to classical music, a bit of an expert or somewhere in between, the friendly atmosphere and the commentary from the musicians in between the music makes this a concert everyone can enjoy! Plus there’s the added bonus of a delicious soup lunch followed by tea or coffee served by Galeri’s own Doc Café Bar.
Ensemble Cymru’s Artistic Director and principal clarinettist, Peryn Clement-Evans, explains what audiences can expect from the lunch time concert: “We’ve weaved together a varied programme to best showcase the three instruments featured in this concert, the piano, clarinet and cello. There will be music from Beethoven which was written at the height of his powers as a virtuoso pianist, plus a beautiful rendition by the cello of the classical master, Vivaldi, and to contrast we’ll have some music by one of the great jazz clarinettists of the 20th century, Benny Goodman. I’m particularly looking forward to playing music by the 18th century opera composer, Weber which features the clarinet at its most dramatic and operatic.”
Visitors to Galeri may have experienced their own ‘taste of Ensemble Cymru’ over the summer as the group has been performing a series of free pop-up concerts at the venue to enable new audiences to access classical music. ‘A Taste of Ensemble Cymru’ takes place at Galeri, Caernarfon on Monday 29 September, 12:30pm. Tickets are priced at £10 and £12 and includes a soup lunch. Tickets can be reserved online by following this link, or by calling the Box Office on 01286 685 22
