Welcome to the Crwth Website
Based in Swansea, Crwth’s aim is to develop audiences for chamber music by promoting performances by professional soloists and ensembles and organising school and community music events. Concerts take place in an intimate and relaxed atmosphere in venues in South and West Wales and further afield.
An additional part of our remit is to promote the music of contemporary Welsh composers. Performances have included works by Alun Hoddinott, Mervyn Burtch, Damian Rees, Rhian Samuel, Lynne Plowman, Michael Parkin, Christopher R. Weeks and others. Crwth recently premiered a work by Chris Weeks – his Concerto for Violin and Chamber Ensemble – which will soon be available, recorded by the original performers – Robert Atchison, John Beswick and Eos Ensemble Cymru – on major streaming services (Spotify, Amazon Music, etc.)
