Museum looks for brass breakfast hosts

The National Museum of Wales is in need of a few new exhibitors to play for their breakfast...

 

The National Museum of Wales (Amgueddfa Genedlaethol Cymru) is inviting voluntary groups and ensembles, including brass quartets and ensembles from across the nation to play at their St David's Day weekend events alongside performers from the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama and Welsh National Opera.

Brass & Breakfast

The St David's Day Brass & Breakfast event takes place on Friday 1st March, between 10.00am -12.00pm at the renowned museum where brass groups will fill the Main Hall with stirring anthems to honour the Patron Saint of Wales.

The following day, the museum is also promoting a St David's Family Day between 11.00am – 4.00pm, where family activities and crafts will celebrate all things Welsh.
