A cosy evening of film music, festive favourites and Christmas classics played by the community orchestra Cerddorfa'r Bobl in the historic Swansea Minster.
Cerddorfa'r Bobl are playing Swansea Minster on Saturday 28 November, from 4pm to around 6pm. The concert is called Something Magical: A Film Night In, and it's billed as a cosy afternoon of film music. You'll hear festive favourites and Christmas classics alongside tunes inspired by film scores, TV themes and pop hits, so it's a mix of the seasonal and the cinematic rather than one or the other.
Cerddorfa'r Bobl is a new Welsh community orchestra that launched in September, aimed at amateur musicians who've reached Grade 7 and above and want to get back into playing. They're led by conductor Alex McGee and rehearse weekly during term time in Carmarthen. The orchestra is part of The People's Orchestra, a national charity that uses music to help people get into work and support those in need.
For this particular afternoon, the players and singers are travelling from across South Wales and the rest of the country, including TPO colleagues coming in from Birmingham. The venue itself has its own history: Swansea Minster, the first Minster church of the Church in Wales, dates back to the 1300s as St Mary's. It was rebuilt after a World War II bombing and now holds one of the finest collections of 20th and 21st century stained glass in Wales.
