INSPIRATIONAL | ORIGINAL | RESONATING

We continue our Grace series showcasing Welsh talent and women in music this spring with works by Cecilia Darmström, Ninfea Cruttwell-Reade and Grace Williams, all under the baton of Emilia Hoving.

Expressing the effects of global warming and the collapse of historic ecosystems, Cecilia Darmström’s ICE depicts through music the earth fighting for existence, and how we could rewind this process. British composer Ninfea Cruttwell-Reade’s Piano Concerto receives its world premiere with BBC NOW regular, Clare Hammond at the keys before we turn to the series’ namesake, Grace Williams. One of her earliest works, and believed to be the first symphony ever written by a Welsh composer, her dramatic First Symphony is inspired by fifteenth century Welsh rebel, Owain Glyndŵr.
