St David's Day Celebration with Bryn Terfel Join Josie d'Arby in the company of Sir Bryn Terfel, Kizzy Crawford and Hannah Daniel together with the BBC National Orchestra of Wales from their home - Hoddinott Hall in the heart of Cardiff Bay. This inspiring concert is a chance to celebrate St David's Day through music and song. At the heart of the celebrations are the musicians of the BBC National Orchestra of Wales with their Principal Conductor, American-born Ryan Bancroft taking the baton in his first St David's Day. The orchestra will accompany Sir Bryn for much loved songs, including the rousing anthem O Gymru!, a tribute to Ivor Novello and more. Singer-songwriter Kizzy Crawford will perform new arrangements of two of her original songs. The orchestra will bring us a poignant rendition of Paul Mealor's A Welsh Prayer, with new words especially commissioned for this concert by the renowned poet Mererid Hopwood and narrated by the actress Hannah Daniel. The piece will reflect the significance of celebrating St David's Day following this most challenging of years. The concert will reach a rousing finale with the orchestra joined virtually by the BBC National Chorus of Wales for a performance of Mae Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau. A fitting end to an evening celebrating Welsh music and the joy it can bring.
