Violin: Elenid Owen

Elenid was, for twenty-four years, a member of the Paris based Ludwig String Quartet, giving concerts and master classes world wide and recording for “Naxos”, “Naïve” and “Universal” labels.

In 2012 she was made Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et Lettres by the French Ministry for Culture for her contribution to music in France.

Wanting to ensure a Welsh eduction for her children, she and her family came back to Wales to settle in 2014.

Principal violinist with Ensemble Cymru, she now enjoys freelancing with different ensembles and teaches violin performance and chamber music at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama in Cardiff.

Her years in France have had a lasting effect… she is never happier than when curled up with good French wine and cheese (only after concerts of course ;)).
