Sinfonia Cymru, Wales' orchestra of under 30s talent, accompany Ana Silvera as she explores songs from a forgotten Judeo-Spanish language, accompanied by Oud virtuoso Saied Silbak and Welsh folk musician, Patrick Rimes.

This powerful evening of music, friendship and cultural connection sees vocalist Ana Silvera bring the forgotten language of Ladino to life.

She’s joined by Palestinian Oud virtuoso Saied Silbak as they explore the emotive melancholy of this forgotten Judeo-Spanish language, accompanied by the intricate melodies of Arabic song and rich Maquams. Joining them are Wales’ exceptional under ’30s orchestra, Sinfonia Cymru, and Welsh folk artist Patrick Rimes. Together they’ll create something wonderful and unique to fill the venue – and your soul – with sound.
