This will be our fourth visit to the historic town of Llantwit Major, in the Vale of Glamorgan near Cardiff, Wales. We always have participants from several countries, as well as local musicians. Staff at St. Donat's and all the Welsh neighbors couldn't be more welcoming. Another week of Welsh hospitality and making music together with friends old and new is sure to be enormous fun. Very comfortable accommodations are in single or shared rooms with private baths, within the wonderful castle.
Cello rental is possible for people traveling from afar.
The rhythm of the days would include playing in assigned groups each morning, lunch at the College, and afternoons free for more playing or exploring the countryside, as you choose. In the evenings, after dinner at the College, we could play together again, possibly larger chamber works. Two years ago many of us attended the black tie opening night of Tosca at the Neath Opera in nearby Craig y Nos Castle and enjoyed a production of Under Milkwood at St. Donant's Cultural Center on the castle grounds. And our professional musician colleagues presented two wonderful concerts in the Bradenstoke Hall of the castle. From London you can travel to Cardiff by train, bus, or car in several hours.
