Aberfan 60
15:00
Sun 25 Oct 2026
Âé¶¹Éç Hoddinott Hall, Cardiff

Marking the 60 years since the Aberfan disaster, this concert is anchored by Paul Mealor’s newly commissioned From Darkness into Light: a concert requiem for hope, bringing together Mark Lewis Jones, Aberfan Schools Choirs, Ynysowen Male Voice Choir, and the Âé¶¹Éç National Chorus of Wales in an act of remembrance. Framing this centrepiece is music that moves from urgency to hope: Anna Clyne’s This Moment flashes with restless energy; Haydn’s E minor “Mourning†Symphony (No. 44) drives forward with fierce intensity; Mozart offers weight and luminous calm in the Andante cantabile from the “Jupiterâ€; and Vaughan Williams’ Whitman-inspired Toward the Unknown Region sets out on a searching journey towards the horizon.
