Swansea International Festival
At the heart of the 2016 Swansea International Festival is a concert to remember the tragedy of Aberfan, which occurred 50 years ago. The brilliant Canadian pianist Louis Lortie performs the second Piano Concerto by Camille Saint-Saëns, a composer who lost his two sons in infancy; and then a new work, commissioned by Swansea International Festival, the Friends of Swansea Festival, and ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 3, in which new texts by Dr Rowan Williams are set by brilliant young Welsh composer Joseph Davies. And to conclude: Gabriel Fauré’s radiantly beautiful Requiem.
