What a thrilling performance tonight at St David's Hall by our National Youth Orchestra of Wales under the baton of the true maestro Carlo Rizzi . We should be so proud of these talented and committed group of young people. Diolch!

A fantastic and well deserved review from the #NYOW23 concert on Saturday

And another!

And here’s one for our brilliant Brass Band! #NYBBW23

Full circle moment for me today. visited my old stomping ground to deliver a seminar all about Youth Ensembles & Pathways for the Orchestra Management students of the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama Arts Management course on behalf of @nyaw_ccic. Thoroughly enjoyed myself - hope they did too!

Supporting future generations of orchestral musicians - I was delighted to announce this renewed partnership between @nyaw_ccic and BBC NOW, together with @SaxophoneLil. Details here: arts.wales/news-jobs-oppo… @MusicServWales Cyngor Celfyddydau Cymru | Arts Council of Wales

I’m excited to be at YMa for today’s packed Open Forum event led by @MusicServWales and Anthem. I’ll be leading a conversation about partnership building this afternoon, representing @nyaw_ccic.
