Morfydd Comes Home with Gail Pearson & Christopher Williams
Sunday 11th October
18:30 - 20:00
Parc Arts
This year's festival will fittingly come to a close at ‘Parc Arts’, once Morfydd and her family’s home Chapel nestled in the terraces of Treforest.
A packed programme of Morfydd’s music will fill the room for the first time brought to life by the experience and charisma of Gail Pearson & Christopher Williams. This will be an experience not to be missed.
Gail made her debut with the Welsh National Opera and has since performed as a regular principle with the English National Opera, singing a wide range of roles with all the main opera companies in the UK and in opera houses in Europe.
Christopher Williams is a pianist, composer, conductor, teacher and arranger. He is a staff pianist at RWCMD, teacher at Cardiff University, and pianist for both the BBC National Chorus of Wales and BBC National Orchestra of Wales.
