It’s curtains for the Vle of Glamorgan Festival which has been presenting new works each years since 1969.
Composer Huw Watkins says on its website: ‘This wonderful festival has championed an enormous range of composers over the last fifty years, and I am very fortunate to have been one of them. It has cultivated a sympathetic and adventurous audience for new music in Wales, for which, as a composer, I am deeply grateful.’
But no more, from today.
The money has dried up and the authorities have turned a deaf ear.
Wales is returning to the musical dark ages.
