Songs of the Earth/Caneuon y Ddaear  

Alys Mererid Roberts, Frederick Brown

Friday October 23rd, 5pm: St John’s Methodist Church, LLandudno

Sunday October 25th, 2pm: Plas Glyn Y Weddw 

Husband and Wife duo, Alys and Frederick, both from Welsh National Opera return with a programme celebrating the natural world. Since words were first set to music, songs have been written and sung about the beauty of the world around us and our place in it. Alys and Frederick will explore in this programme the many features of the planet Earth which have inspired composers and poets, from the rising and setting of the sun to the view of a distant forest from a mountain top, via clouds, wind and even the world-view of a cricket. Featuring works by Schubert, Ravel, Debussy, Dilys Elwyn Edwards, Gareth Glyn and others.
