Music at Nantwen was founded in 2015 by Cellist Daniel Davies and his wife Jemma.
They strive to create a financially and socially sustainable venue for music performance and music education.
Music at Nantwen does not receive private funding or arts funding, neither does it receive business sponsorship or financial patronage.
Music at Nantwen exists through a careful balance of financial and creative decisions. We are tremendously grateful to our audiences who attend year after year, and whom we enjoy getting to know. Without whom Music at Nantwen would not exist. By attending a concert here and paying our fair ticket price you can support live Classical music in the UK. Please read the brief descriptions of our music events below and join us in 2024.
Our Concerts attract audiences from all over Wales and beyond and have featured performers like The Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, Fretwork, the Gildas Quartet, the Elmore Quartet, the Treske Quartet, and Aleksei Kiseliov, among others.
Our Chamber Music Festival is a fantastic event with outstanding live music, yummy cakes, tasty coffee, and beautiful open gardens.
