About This Event

An afternoon sequence exploring the connections and communicative powers of words and music, inspired by the themes of legend and folklore. Among the prose and poetry excerpts lies an excursion into the fantastical medieval folk tales of The Mabinogion. A moment to spark the imagination and a shared experience to transcend the everyday.
