Violinist’s passion for Welsh music to put composer centre stage

A WORLD-RENOWNED violinist aims to help bring the music of an “unjustly neglected” Welsh composer back to life.

- 

Madeleine Mitchell, who has performed in more than 50 countries, will take centre stage with Wrexham Symphony Orchestra on November 9, in a powerful Remembrance concert at the William Aston Hall.

The London-based musician will join conductor Bedwyn Lloyd Phillips to celebrate the legacy of Grace Williams - widely regarded as Wales’ most significant female composer but whose music has been long overlooked.

Madeleine says she is thrilled to return to Wrexham - a city she remembers fondly from earlier tours as soloist in Mozart with the Welsh Chamber Orchestra.
