About this Event

VRÏ

A Mwldan Production / Cynhyrchiad y Mwldan

Enillwyr Albwm Gorau Gwobrau Gwerin Cymru ddwywaith (albwm debut Tŷ Ein Tadau (2019) ac islais a genir 2022), VRï yw Jordan Price Williams (sielo, llais), Aneirin Jones (feiolin, llais) a Patrick Rimes (feiola, feiolin, llais). Wedi’u hysbrydoli gan stori anhygoel cyfnod pan gafodd cerddoriaeth a dawns draddodiadol Cymru eu darostwng gan gapeli’r Methodistiaid, ac, yn gynharach, ei hiaith gan y Ddeddf Uno, mae VRï yn taflu goleuni newydd ar draddodiad gwerin bywiog sy’n harneisio egni amrwd y ffidil gyda cheinder y feiolin, a phrydferthwch cerddoriaeth siambr gyda llawenydd a phleserau sesiwn mewn tafarn, gyda harmonïau lleisiol pwerus yn sail i’r cyfan.

Two-time winners of Best Album at the Welsh Folk Award (debut album Tŷ Ein Tadau (2019) and 2022's islais a genir), VRï are Jordan Price Williams (cello, voice), Aneirin Jones (violin, voice) and Patrick Rimes (viola, violin, voice).Inspired by the incredible story of a time when Wales’ traditional music and dance was suppressed by Methodist chapels, and, earlier, its language by the Act of Union, VRï shed new light on a vibrant folk tradition that harnesses the raw energy of the fiddle with the finesse of the violin, and the beauty of chamber music with the joy and hedonism of a pub session, all underpinned with powerful vocal harmonies.

Cywaith Dawns | Dance Collective CIC

Mae Dance Collective CIC yn arbenigo mewn gweithio ar y cyd â chymunedau i ddarparu cyfleoedd i gymryd rhan a gwylio dawns yng Ngogledd Cymru. Mae eu gwaith yn cael ei ddylanwadu gan dirweddau, straeon a threftadaeth Gogledd Cymru.

Mae cydweithio gyda VRï yn foment gyffrous i greu gwaith newydd sy’n cael ei ysbrydoli gan eu cerddoriaeth.

Dance Collective CIC specialise in working in collaboration with communities to provide opportunities to participate and watch dance in North Wales. Their work is influenced by the landscapes, stories and heritage of North Wales.

Collaborating with VRï is an exciting moment to create new work that is inspired by their music and also the landscapes of North Wales.
