Tann

Ty Cerdd has commissioned Hilary Tann to write a new piece, 'All the Moon Long' which takes its inspiration from Dylan Thomas's exuberant poem of youth, 'Fern Hill', whilst other work come from the pens of Latin composers Piazzolla, Marquez and Ginastera.

Also performed will be Philip Harper's 'Constellations' and 'The Path to Peace' alongside the brass band classic of 'Pageantry' and Edward Gregson's 'Connotations' in honour of the composer's 70th birthday.
