Mae ein cyngherddau clasurol a chyfoes amser cinio yn dychwelyd ar yr 22ain o Hydref gyda pherfformiadau cerddoriaeth fyw gan ystod amrywiol o gerddorion a genres. Gallwch fynychu'r cyngherddau hyn yn ddigymell yn ystod eich egwyl ginio, mae'r rhaglen yn para 45 i 55 munud ac yn aml yn arddangos cerddoriaeth siambr, datganiadau piano, cerddoriaeth werin, gitâr glasurol a deuawdau clasurol. Mae perfformiadau bob yn ail ddydd Mercher rhwng 1pm a 2pm yn ein Gofod Perfformio, mae mynediad am ddim ond rydym yn croesawu rhoddion.

Rydym yn croesawu’r pianydd a’r cyfansoddwr amryddawn a toreithiog o Leeds, Simeon Walker, i berfformio ar Hydref 22ain. Mae wedi dod i’r amlwg yn gyflym fel un o’r goleuadau blaenllaw yn y sîn Glasurol Fodern sy’n ffynnu, yn dilyn rhyddhau ei albymau Mono a Winnow.
Mae Simeon yn perfformio ac yn teithio'n rheolaidd ledled y DU ac Ewrop, gan gynnwys Taith Hydref 28 dyddiad yn y DU yn 2023. Mae wedi cefnogi amrywiaeth o artistiaid proffil uchel gan gynnwys S. Carey, Neil Cowley, LYR, Submotion Orchestra, Erland Cooper, Loscil a Niklas Paschburg; ac wedi perfformio setiau byw nodedig yng Ngwyliau Latitude a Timber. Mae ei ddarn 'Reverie' yn ymddangos ar y casgliad swyddogol cyntaf o Ddiwrnod y Piano (2022) gan y label LEITER, ochr yn ochr â Nils Frahm, Olafur Arnalds a Chilly Gonzales.
Mae ei gerddoriaeth yn derbyn darllediadau rheolaidd ar BBC Radio 3, BBC 6Music, KEXP, NTS a Soho Radio, gyda'i gerddoriaeth yn derbyn ffigurau gwrando o dros 40 miliwn o ffrydiau ar draws llwyfannau. Sefydlodd hefyd ac mae'n parhau i guradu Brudenell Piano Sessions; cyfres gerddoriaeth fyw agos atoch ac amrywiol yn tynnu sylw at y gerddoriaeth amrywiol sy'n cael ei chyfansoddi a'i pherfformio ar y piano, a gynhelir yng Nghlwb Cymdeithasol eiconig Brudenell yn Leeds.

Mae ei gerddoriaeth a'i berfformiadau byw yn adlewyrchu eithafion profiad dynol - tyner, tawel a llonydd ar adegau; pwerus, bywiog a llifo ar adegau eraill, gyda'r nod o chwalu'r rhwystrau rhwng y perfformiwr a'r gynulleidfa, gan anelu at gyrraedd cynulleidfaoedd newydd, iau a mwy amrywiol ar gyfer cerddoriaeth glasurol. Gwahoddir gwrandawyr i ddod o hyd i lonyddwch, harddwch ac ystyr cymaint yn y bylchau rhwng y nodiadau ag yn y nodiadau eu hunain, gyda'r nod cyffredinol o greu cyfleoedd ar gyfer cysylltiad gwirioneddol trwy gerddoriaeth - nid yn unig trwy wrando segur, goddefol - ond mewn cyfranogiad ystyrlon, ymgysylltiol.

We Welcome versatile and prolific Leeds-based pianist & composer Simeon Walker to perform on October 22nd. He has quickly emerged as a leading light in the burgeoning Modern Classical scene, following the release of his albums Mono and Winnow.

Simeon performs and tours regularly across the UK and Europe, including a 28-date UK Autumn Tour in 2023. He has supported a variety of high-profile artists including S. Carey, Neil Cowley, LYR, Submotion Orchestra, Erland Cooper, Loscil & Niklas Paschburg; and performed notable live sets at Latitude & Timber Festivals. His piece ‘Reverie’ features on the first official Piano Day compilation (2022) by the LEITER label, alongside Nils Frahm, Olafur Arnalds and Chilly Gonzales.

His music receives regular broadcasts on BBC Radio 3, BBC 6Music, KEXP, NTS and Soho Radio, with his music receiving listening figures in excess of 40 million streams across platforms. He also founded and continues to curate Brudenell Piano Sessions; an intimate and varied live music series highlighting the diverse music being composed and performed on the piano, hosted at Leeds’ iconic Brudenell Social Club.

His music and live performances reflect the extremes of human experience - gentle, calm and still at times; powerful, boisterous and flowing at others, with the aim of breaking down the barriers between performer and audience, whilst aiming to reach new, younger and more diverse audiences for classical-inspired music. Listeners are invited to find stillness, beauty and meaning as much in the spaces between the notes as the notes themselves, with the overall aim of creating opportunities for genuine connection through music - not just through idle, passive listening - but in meaningful, engaged participation.
