Cardiff Classical Concerts & Recitals for the Classical Enthusiast! 

We are delighted to inform you that there will continue to be a Cardiff Classical programme of high quality concerts running throughout the city at various venues across Cardiff whilst St David’s Hall is temporarily closed. These concerts will be presented by Arts Active, the community learning and partnerships outreach department for Cardiff Council, formerly based at St David’s Hall.

Lunchtime Classical Concerts & Recitals.

This programme profiles many established and well renowned musicians along with supporting emerging artists from across Wales, the UK and Europe.  These one-hour recitals will take place in the city centre at Eglwys Dewi Sant, St Andrews Crescent, on the first Tuesday of every month..

They are accessible, relaxing, informal and a perfect introduction for anyone new to the classical music scene or for those who are passionate enthusiasts of classical music. Either way, you  can pop along and enjoy these during a lunchtime break, make an afternoon of it with friends or family, or simply come along yourself and enjoy! 

Young Composers Scheme

The Young Composers Scheme provides an opportunity for aspiring young musicians aged 14-18 to develop their skills in composition, instrumentation and arranging. This invaluable opportunity allows young people to learn from, and work alongside professional composers and musicians; ideal for those developing a portfolio of work. Young Composers courses run during the Welsh half terms and summer holidays – email A2@arts-active-trust.flywheelstaging.com to find out more.

Schools Programme

During the year we work with both primary and secondary schools to offer composition and performance projects. These projects vary throughout the year so please do get in touch to find out what exciting opportunities we are offering at the moment.
