Dovetail Cardiff
We are launching a new orchestra in Cardiff on Thursday January 9th!
It will run every Thursday from 10am-11.30am, with refreshments afterwards. The venue is a church in the centre of the city called St David’s (Eglwys Dewi Sant)
Everybody from the asylum-seeking and refugee community in Cardiff and nearby is welcome to join. You don’t have to have any musical experience, and all styles of music are welcome, whether you play or sing.
As in Bristol, our task is to create new pieces and songs out of what you bring to the group.
Helen Woods will be leading the workshop, supported by the wonderful Arts Active team.
Helen Woods is a composer, music animateur, musical director and performer. Compositions include OUR HOUSE IS ON FIRE (from the words of Greta Thunberg) and WATER commissioned for the Vale of Glamorgan Festival. Helen was one of the original performers of The Sky in the room, an art installation created by Icelandic artist Ragnar Kjartansson, is musical director of Cardiff Gamelan works with English National Ballet/National Dance Company Wales as a musician on the Dance for Parkinson’s programme.
To register your interest, please email Dovetail on hello@dovetailorchestra.org.uk, telling us a bit about yourself and any music you enjoy.
We can pay for bus travel to the church if you need it.
