Quartet Draig: Gwlad y Gân
Gwlad y Gân draws together works on the theme of Land of Song, including a new commission by north Wales-based composer Cameron Biles-Liddell, the first recording of Huw Watkins’s String Quartet No. 1, and a trio of pieces by the quartet themselves, inspired by traditional Welsh folk tunes, Am Awen.
Quartet Draig are a Welsh String Quartet who formed in 2020 during their studies at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, where they were winners of the Albion String Quartet and Bridgewood & Neitzert chamber prizes. They have made multiple appearances at the Wigmore Hall (Cavatina Competition, Musicians Company Competition), and in 2021 were Junior Quartet in Residence at the ESTA Conference. The quartet has been described as ‘An ensemble with energy, a wholly appropriate volatility within its interpretation, and buoyancy of tutti sound’. (Richard Bratby, Guardian).

Sionci is Tŷ Cerdd’s artist-led label sitting alongside the existing marque Tŷ Cerdd Records. Sionci has been conceived to enable creative- and career-development for artists, cross-genre. Artists can take control of any of all of parts of the process – from recording and producing, to artwork and promotion – and are offered a more favourable royalty split than a regular label.
