Come and join us for a fundraising recital by the stars of Mid Wales Opera.
MWO and Ludlow Assembly Rooms join forces to bring you a Celebration of Music and Opera in the beautifully refurbished Auditorium of LAR in the centre of historic Ludlow.
This celebration concert features six fabulous musicians well known to Ludlow and to MWO audiences – local Welsh mezzo-soprano Rebecca Afonwy-Jones, young Welsh tenor Huw Ynyr, Russian soprano Galina Averina, English baritone Philip Smith, Welsh harpist Elfair Grug Dyer and MWO’s very own Music Director and pianist Jonathan Lyness.
