David Pepper<\/strong> will be collaborating with a small chamber of musicians, poets, and visual artists on the final night of this year\u2019s festival Ar Ymyl y Tir 2023 On Land\u2019s Edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

David, Daniel and Richard<\/strong> recently performed together at a concert in Ebenezer Chapel where they presented a variety of pieces for cello and piano, solo piano and poetry and music collaborations. They now look to take this further by including a visual element for this event in Theatr Gwaun. Reflecting this year\u2019s festival theme of \u2018journeys\u2019, the evening will communicate a feeling of journeying through the landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simffoni Mara<\/strong> has been a key part of On Land\u2019s Edge from its inception in 2021. The project is the realisation of a lifetime\u2019s dream for Myles Pepper, with a commitment to commissioning new music inspired by the links between Wales and Ireland. The project is music-led but takes in a wide range of arts forms. The brief is simple, to create works inspired by life on the edge of the Irish Sea. Cwmni Mara is proud to announce the premiere of \u2018On the Horizon (I write your name)\u2019 composed by Christopher Fox for solo piano for this year\u2019s festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daniel is a passionate chamber musician and currently works as artistic director of Nantwen Music where he performs in an annual festival of string chamber music with a focus on Welsh Classical Composers.

Richard Wheeler<\/strong>

Richard\u2019s first collection \u2018I of Modern Nature\u2019 was submitted for Book of the Year 2022 by the publisher, Cambria Books.

As the title suggests, many of the poems have their roots in our complex and evolving relationship with the natural world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
