One of the UK\u2019s most revered chamber music ensembles will be holding a concert on Friday\u00a0<\/span>30 November at Llandaff Cathedral. It\u2019s an opportunity for many to form a new-found passion for classical music.<\/p>\n

The London Concertante will set the festive mood by opening with Corelli\u2019s Christmas Concerto and will then follow up with Mozart, Handel, Bach and Vivaldi. The pieces will be played by an ensemble of around 10 professional musicians by candlelight.<\/span><\/p>\n

Anyone is welcome to come and enjoy the concert. There is no need to have an extensive knowledge of classical music to appreciate it. The Concertante say that around 50% of the audience are new to classical music and yet everyone leaves the venue entranced and delighted. <\/span><\/p>\n

Chris Grist, the artistic director of the ensemble, says: \u201cPeople really come to appreciate classical music through our concerts. Music is a universal language and classical music is incredibly easy to listen to. I am also pleased to see so many young people at our concerts.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

The Concertante play pieces that resonate with people all the while creating a relaxed and joyful atmosphere. One member of the audience at last year\u2019s performance said that they had rarely seen such talented musicians that are equally as warm and funny on stage.<\/span><\/p>\n
