CRITICS Circle Award winning company, Ballet Cymru will present an extraordinary double bill of new work featuring some of Wales most outstanding artists this September.
Following the sell-out success last year of Ballet Cymru’s work with Cerys Matthews, the company reprise the iconic work TIR for one night only.
Cerys’s iconic album of Welsh folk music is the inspiration for TIR and choreographers Darius James and Amy Doughty have used 11 of the songs from the album to create a unique work especially for the dancers of Ballet Cymru. Cerys herself is playing the music live on stage with the company.
Cerys Matthews fronted one of the biggest Welsh pop bands to emerge in the Britpop era of the 1990s.
Catatonia released five albums, but their biggest success came in 1998 with their third album International Velvet.
Ballet Cymru will also be teaming up with harpist and composer Catrin Finch and orchestra Sinfonia Cymru to produce a new work based on Catrin’s first composition Celtic Concerto.
Featured on the No 1 selling album Blessing, Celtic Concerto is a once only opportunity to see Ballet Cymru dance with Catrin Finch and ten members of Sinfonia Cymru live on stage. Ballet Cymru are a young, vital group of dancers who are pushing back the barriers of classical ballet.
This show is at Newport Riverfront on September 19.
