Galeri’s Galleries: An Amazing Performance during the Wales Harp Festival 2015

Published: 6 May, 2015

One of the events during the Wales Harp Festival 2015 welcomed every course member to take part in a special concert that we call ‘Galeri’s Galleries’. Harps were placed around the building spread out on the galleries on every floor.

Once every harp, stand and stool was in its place, the Festival director, Elinor Bennett had the privilege of leading this special ensemble, and we heard performances of folk, classical and jazz music.

The Festival was brought to an appropriate ending with a concert by some of our brilliant ex-students performing alongside members of the 2015 Harp Course and fusing classical and folk music. We enjoyed performances from Elinor Bennett, Stephen Rees, Glain Dafydd, Rhian Dyer, Elinor Evans, Elen Hydref, Angharad Wyn Jones, and Patrick Rimes.

We hope that everybody who attended the harp course, the concerts and all the other activities during the Wales Harp Festival 2015 enjoyed themselves as much as we did during the festival, and we look forward to welcoming everyone back for the next harp festival.
