Gwent Chamber Orchestra to celebrate 50th anniversary
The concert will be a family affair, with composer and pianist Huw Watkins MBE performing Mozart's Piano Concerto No 19, alongside his father and founder member, John Watkins.
The orchestra will be led by husband and wife, Stephen Broom and Julia Watkins.
Mr Broom said: "As the venue of the orchestra's first ever concert, Brecon Cathedral is GCO's spiritual home.
"Almost 50 years on from that inaugural performance it's fitting that we're returning to the place where it all began to play some of the same music.
"We're also delighted that the talented friend of the orchestra Huw Watkins is able to join us for our golden anniversary celebrations.
"The fact that the concert will also be a family affair makes it extra special."
The orchestra was founded in 1975 by David Gedge, then the director of music at Brecon Cathedral.
It was initially formed to support the Brecon Cathedral Singers and Choir.
The concert will feature music played at the orchestra's first concert on June 21, 1975, including Elgar's Serenade for Strings and Schubert's Symphony No 5.
Tickets cost £15.

Renée Fleming makes directing debut with wrestling-themed 'Così fan tutte' at Aspen Music Festival
Renée Fleming's 'Così fan tutte' was ready to rumble. Long a star soprano, Fleming made her directing debut Monday night at the Aspen Music Festival and School by transporting Mozart's masterpiece from 18th century Naples, Italy, to a gym in Yarmouth, Massachusetts, amid professional wrestling's rise in 1980. Posters on stage display Sylvester Stallone as Rocky, wrestler Randy Savage and Jane Fonda hawking her workout video. In Fleming's concept, Fiordiligi and Dorabella are workout-obsessed high school sisters. 'It's a coming of age for the protagonists and a loss of innocence,' Fleming said. An outstanding student cast ages 25-32 mostly making role debuts, was accompanied by conductor Patrick Summers leading a 45-piece orchestra at the 375-capacity Wheeler Opera House, opened in 1889 during the Colorado Silver Boom. There are two additional performances through Saturday at a festival that includes about 200 public events from July 2 to Aug. 24. Lauren Carroll, the 26-year-old soprano who sings Fiordiligi, did a split. Dorabella, 27-year-old mezzo-soprano Ashlyn Brown, struggled to lift a heavy barbell. Michelle Harvey's scenic design in the tight space of a 25-foot-wide proscenium included punching bags, bo staffs and ThighMasters. Fleming sang her first Countess in Mozart's 'Le Nozze di Figaro' as an Aspen student in 1984. Now 66, she has, since 2017, limited her singing to concerts, a few contemporary operas and Broadway. Staging spark was at a hockey game Fleming had a circuitous route to her concept. 'I can't do the opera relating to hockey, but I did think of another sport that reminds me so much of opera and that's professional wrestling. There's a suspension of disbelief that is huge,' she said. 'Fans believe these characters are real and that the moves are real, and of course it's all completely choreographed.' Fleming at first spoke with Francesca Zambello, the Washington National Opera's artistic director. 'I said, `Convince me, sell me, tell me,'' Zambello related, "`you really have to work it through from the overture to the final curtain.' WNO's 'Così' in 2021 was canceled because of the coronavirus pandemic. In 2020, Fleming and Summers launched Aspen Opera Theater and VocalARTS, with 15 singers annually attending an eight-week program that covers their $12,325 tuition, room and board plus pays a $1,500 stipend. Wrestling family history Ashlyn Brown, the 27-year-old mezzo-soprano who performs Dorabella, is a granddaughter of Don Stansauk, the wrestler known as Hard Boiled Haggerty. 'I grew up with wrestling culture,' she said. 'I used to go to the Cauliflower Alley Club meetings when I was a kid. He brought all of his buddies, like Andre the Giant.' Carroll was a cheerleader and her mother is an aerobics instructor. 'She really invests in young artists and it's authentic,' she said of Fleming. 'She really means it and backs it up with action.' In creating the look, Fleming thought back to her time at Churchville-Chili Senior High School in New York. 'I have photographs of me with a really bad mullet and overalls,' she said. Just before intermission ended, a Fonda dress-alike led the audience in calisthenics. Despina (soprano Laura Miah), a gym manager here instead of a maid, uses a blender to make protein shakes and heads stretching exercises. 'Renée of course demanded a lot of herself as a singer in that way and that's extended itself to her demands on them in this,' Summers said. Mozart's opera has the two boyfriends adopt hidden identities and romance each other's girlfriend to test their virtue. Both women fall for the other's boyfriend, and while the two couples get back together in the original, Fleming has both relationships come apart. Fiordiligi ends up wearing an 'ERA YES' shirt. Don Alfonso is a gym owner. Guglielmo and Ferrando, the boyfriends (baritone Finn Sagal and tenor Jonghyun Park), wear Amanda Seymour's colorful clothes, including powder blue and light gray tuxedos with ruffled shirts. Peter Barber, a 31-year-old bass-baritone who sings Don Alfonso, boxes to keep in shape. 'When I was I think 8 or 9 years old after watching `Rocky,' I had a custom boxing robe made for me,' he said. Role a part of Fleming's life for more than 30 years Fleming sang Fiordiligi for the first time at Geneva in March 1992. She greeted the cast at the first rehearsal on June 30 by telling them: 'Toi toi toi. Let's have some fun,' using a performers' expression for good luck. 'I'm astonished that someone who is such an extraordinary singer and performer, they are also an extraordinary stage director,' choreographer Sara Erde said. 'She knows every note of the music, every word of the text.' Fleming learned that unlike with singing, directing requires 'million decisions that have to be made day to day.' At WNO, Fleming had envisioned a set with a stadium-sized video screen. She hopes the staging has an extended life. 'If anybody wanted to do it, it would be really fun in a bigger theater with a budget,' she said. 'Especially the time we're in, it's not a bad time to bring pro wrestling into opera because of the similarities, for the sheer novelty of it.'

Beautiful European city is 'totally walkable' with pristine streets and serene atmosphere
While exploring a city as beautiful as Vienna – where every corner seems to offer up another stunning building and you can visit places such as Mozart's old apartment – it certainly enhances your experience when the hotel you're staying in is also a little pocket of perfection, from the beautiful interiors to the delicious food. And the newly refurbished Anantara Palais Hansen Vienna Hotel, whose grand Presidential Suite has welcomed stars such as Robbie Williams and Miley Cyrus, did not disappoint. It's such a treat that you could be tempted to spend your entire time here simply kicking back and indulging. But of course, there's a fascinating, culture-filled city to explore first... What to do in Vienna Vienna, on the Danube River, is bursting with history, and even just walking down the city centre's tiny side streets is a delight. We happened upon Beethoven's home by chance, and even shop fronts feature stunning sculptures. Its historic centre is compact and flat enough to be totally walkable, and even when bustling with tourists, Vienna has a laid-back, serene atmosphere, and its streets, unlike many capitals, are utterly pristine. Highlights include the magnificent Schönbrunn Palace – breathtaking when illuminated at night – and the iconic St Stephen's Cathedral, a Gothic masterpiece, outside of which there are plenty of stalls to pick up a traditional souvenir, or grab lunch and a beer. No trip to this city would be complete without a nod to its huge musical heritage either, with concert halls and museums dedicated to the great composers who lived here, such as Beethoven and Mozart. And, of course, come the festive season it takes on a whole other atmosphere with its world-famous Christmas markets. The Viennese love to stop for a coffee, cake and conversation, and two iconic spots for just this are Café Central and Café Sacher. Get there early or reserve a table in advance, as when we tried the former mid-morning – whose glitzy interiors look like something from a film set – it was packed with tourists getting their perfect Instagram moment. Enjoy 'Little Paris' Less than a 10-minute stroll from our hotel, we discovered Vienna's so-called Little Paris – the charming and tranquil Servitenviertel (Serviten Quarter), a neighbourhood famed for its picturesque streets, cosy cafés and a village-like atmosphere. French-inspired bistros, bakeries and shops make it feel like a slice of Paris within Vienna, and we enjoyed a delicious pastry and some people-watching at bakery La Mercerie. Take a carriage ride We also enjoyed an unforgettable architectural tour in a horse-drawn Fiaker carriage, the ubiquitous mode of transport of the 18th Century, and an iconic part of Viennese culture. Any trip to the city will be punctuated by the sound of horses' hooves on cobbles. It's a fun way to see some of Vienna's most beautiful sights, and a welcome rest for weary feet. Hang out by the river Vienna has an inherently regal air but for a younger, trendier vibe, head to the area along the Danube Canal for a drink or a bite to eat. Numerous bars and restaurants offer a great place to chill out, and a real riviera feel with sandy beaches and cool cocktails. We loved Strandbar Herrmann where, with deckchairs and hammocks, we watched the sun go down. Where to stay in Vienna The five-star Anantara Palais Hansen Vienna Hotel – the latest addition to Anantara's European portfolio – is Neo Renaissance grandeur at its best. This is living it up, Austrian style. Designed by famed Austrian architect Theophil Edvard von Hansen and located on Viennese Ringstraße, a grand boulevard circling the city centre, you really do feel like you're staying in a palace. The 152-room hotel's main lobby lounge and bar has had an art-deco style refurb to die for. Sipping on one of their signature cocktails, you can easily imagine yourself in a scene from The Great Gatsby. Our classic yet modern Deluxe Room was a welcome escape from the world outside, with a gorgeous sofa to laze on and a marble bathroom with tub and rain shower. The hotel also has an indoor pool, fitness centre and the Anantara Spa, which combines European and Asian wellness traditions. And as the Austrian capital was warm, we gladly cooled down in the refreshing hydrofinity pool. We booked in for one of the massages and it was divine. The food at Anantara Palais Hansen Vienna Hotel The food in the Anantara is incredible – a gourmet temple where you can swing by for an afternoon tea, themed Sunday brunch, brasserie lunch or fine-dining experience. Breakfast was so good we didn't want to leave – a feast with everything from fresh fruit to local sausage, washed down by a local sparkling wine. But the standout culinary moment was undoubtedly dinner at the hotel's own multi- award winning, Michelin-starred restaurant, EDVARD. Famed in the city and beyond, do book if you're hoping to eat here. We opted for the multi-course tasting menu with exquisite wine pairings – and it was a total explosion of the senses, from the 'tasting tree' we sampled upon entry to the decadent dessert cart we just about made room for at the end. Viennese chef Paul Gamauf and his team couldn't have been more enthusiastic as they talked us through their courses; each one was a work of art and a journey through their low-waste philosophy. With fresh, seasonal, locally-foraged ingredients, standout dishes included cone with rind and zitrone, dry-aged rind with maitake and miso, and popcorn with kombucha for dessert. How much does it cost to stay at Anantara Palais Hansen Vienna Hotel? Rooms at Anantara Palais Hansen Vienna Hotel start from €550 per night including breakfast.
