NANTWEN ENSEMBLE

A group of professional musicians Enabling community performance & the creation & performance of Welsh Chamber Music.

The Nantwen ensemble can deliver Nantwen’s relaxed and engaging concerts anywhere. If you would like to discuss having a performance (often with the inclusion of music by a Welsh composer) by this exceptional, yet down to earth group of musicians then please do get in touch on the form below.

Daniel is a member of the NightOut Scheme from the Arts Council of Wales, which can support events from community promoters in Wales.

  • Nantwen Music was created by Cellist Daniel Davies and his wife Jemma as a wholesome place to experience, perform and learn about classical chamber music. The setting is small, beautiful, ecologically sensitive and an inspiring place to make music.

    The Nantwen Ensemble takes our performances out of Nantwen and presents them to audiences across the UK and beyond

  • New:

    Following a substantial award from the Dementia Trust. The Nantwen Ensemble commissioned composer David John Roche to compose a work inspired by and highlighting Dementia. The resulting work will be performed in community and concert venues across the UK from the end of 2025 onwards. More information can be found by clicking here.
