About Angharad

Hiya! Thanks for clicking on my page. I'm a violinist/violist based in South Wales, please read my bio for more info!
Violinist
Cardiff
Public liability insurance of £10 million
Verified profile

My aim is to provide quality music for events including weddings, birthdays and anniversaries, and work with organisations to bring music to individuals from all backgrounds in order to help break down boundaries of classical music. I studied at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, winning both the McGrenery Chamber Award and Cardiff Violins Chamber Prize. I have worked with orchestras such as the BBC National Orchestra of Wales and Novello Orchestra, and have played with soloists such as Alfie Boe, Michael Ball, Robyn, Sophie Ellis Bextor, Paloma Faith, Marc Almond, Boy George and Robbie Williams. I've also performed in TV shows including X-Factor and Britain’s Got Talent, and have performed on UK tours of Love Actually Live and Star Wars Live.

Angharad and the string sisters duo played so beautifully at our wedding last week. We booked them for the ceremony and drinks reception and they created such a classy and relaxed vibe at the wedding. Hearing them play a thousand years whilst walking down the aisle outdoors was really quite special. Communication before the day was seamless, and Angharad was keen to understand our music tastes and even offered to learn any song we wanted for our ceremony to make it as special as possible. They couldn’t have done more. Thank you so much for being part of our big day. I would recommend the string sisters duo for any event!
