🎶 What an unforgettable day with the BBC National Orchestra of Wales! 🎶

Pupils from Swansea, Neath Port Talbot and Powys came together for a fantastic Side-by-Side orchestral experience as part of the BBC National Orchestra of Wales and The Mid and West Wales Region Three Counties project. Thank you National Music Service, Wales.

They had the incredible opportunity to play alongside world-class musicians, develop their orchestral skills, and bring some amazing music to life. Together, they performed Adams’ Short Ride in a Fast Machine and Dvořák’s Symphony No. 9 – Largo conducted by Chloe Rooke.

It was wonderful to welcome parents at the end of the day for a special sharing performance, celebrating the hard work, talent and enthusiasm of all the young musicians involved.

A huge well done to everyone who took part! 👏🎻🎺

🎶 Am ddiwrnod bythgofiadwy gyda Cherddorfa Genedlaethol Gymreig y BBC! 🎶

Daeth disgyblion o Abertawe, Castell-nedd Port Talbot a Phowys ynghyd ar gyfer profiad cerddorfaol Side-by-Side gwych fel rhan o brosiect Tair Sir Rhanbarth Canolbarth a Gorllewin Cymru gyda Cherddorfa Genedlaethol Gymreig y BBC. Diolch i Wasanaeth Cerdd Cenedlaethol Cymru.

Cawsant gyfle anhygoel i chwarae ochr yn ochr â cherddorion o safon ryngwladol, datblygu eu sgiliau cerddorfaol, a dod â cherddoriaeth arbennig yn fyw. Gyda’i gilydd, perfformiasant Short Ride in a Fast Machine gan Adams a Symffoni Rhif 9 – Largo gan Dvořák, dan arweiniad Chloe Rooke.

Roedd yn hyfryd croesawu rhieni ar ddiwedd y dydd ar gyfer perfformiad rhannu arbennig, gan ddathlu gwaith caled, talent a brwdfrydedd yr holl gerddorion ifanc a gymerodd ran.

Llongyfarchiadau mawr i bawb a gymerodd ran! 👏🎻🎺

Mae National Youth Arts Wales yn dychwelyd gyda Phreswylfa Haf National Youth Jazz Wales.
Cynhelir y Breswylfa rhwng 25 a 28 Awst yn RWCMD, Caerdydd, gan ddod â grŵp gwych arall o gerddorion jazz ifanc ynghyd ar gyfer wythnos llawn hwyl o chwarae, dysgu a gwneud cerddoriaeth gyda'i gilydd.
Bydd tîm rhagorol o diwtoriaid yn bresennol, gan gynnwys Huw Warren, Andrew Bain, Paula Gardiner, Tomos Williams a Joe Northwood.
Mae'r Breswylfa ar agor i bobl ifanc 14 oed a hŷn. Nid yw'n addas ar gyfer dechreuwyr llwyr — fel canllaw, dylai cyfranogwyr fod tua safon Gradd 3 neu uwch — ond y peth pwysicaf yw bod gennych angerdd am jazz a pharodrwydd i ddysgu, chwarae a chydweithio.
Cost y preswylfa pedwar diwrnod fydd £400. Mae'r ffi yn cynnwys hyfforddiant, llety a phrydau bwyd. Mae bwrsarïau ar gael i'r rhai sydd angen cymorth ariannol; gellir dod o hyd i fanylion am y rhain ar ein gwefan.
Gobeithio gweld llawer o fyfyrwyr NMS yng Nghaerdydd yr haf hwn!
Y dyddiad cau ar gyfer archebu lle ar y cwrs yw dydd Mawrth 4 Awst. Archebwch nawr: https://www.nyaw.org.uk/whats-on/national-youth-jazz-wales-summer-residency-1

National Youth Arts Wales are returning with a National Youth Jazz Wales Summer Residency.
The Residency will take place 25-28 August at RWCMD, Cardiff, bringing together another fantastic group of young jazz musicians for a fun-filled week of playing, learning, and making music together.
There will be an excellent team of tutors, including Huw Warren, Andrew Bain, Paula Gardiner, Tomos Williams and Joe Northwood.
The Residency is open to young people aged 14+. It is not suitable for complete beginners — as a guide, participants should be around Grade 3 standard or above — but the most important thing is that you have a passion for jazz and a willingness to learn, play, and collaborate.
The 4-day residency will cost £400. The fee includes tuition, accommodation and meals. Bursaries are available for those who need financial assistance, details of which can be found on our website.
Hope to see lots of NMS students in Cardiff this summer!
The deadline for booking on to the course is Tuesday 4th August. Book now: https://www.nyaw.org.uk/whats-on/national-youth-jazz-wales-summer-residency-1
