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.
The Nantwen Ensemble takes our performances out of Nantwen and presents them to audiences across the UK and beyond

New:
Following a substantial award from the Dementia Trust. The Nantwen Ensemble is in the process of commissioning a composer to create a piece to raise awareness of Dementia. The composition will include spoken and musical content collated from individuals affected by Dementia which will then be worked into a new composition. The resulting work will be performed in community and concert venues across the UK from the end of 2025 onwards. More information can be found by clicking here.
