Tônau was formed out of the impulse of Nantwen. Nantwen Music was created by Cellist Daniel Davies and his wife Jemma as a wholesome place to experience, perform and learn about classical chamber music. The setting is small, beautiful, ecologically sensitive and an inspiring place to make music.
Nantwen means ‘white springs’ a place where fresh mountain water springs in abundance from the ground. Tonnau is the welsh word for waves and Tônau means musical Tones. It is hoped that Tônau can enable new music to spring into life and make waves across communities in Wales and beyond. Facilitated by Cellist Daniel Davies the members of Tônau are the professional musicians, drawn from leading UK and European orchestras who come to work at Nantwen.
