A glorious finale!

Posted: 6th May 2025

The Crickhowell Music Festival came to a memorable close on Bank Holiday Monday with an exceptional recital by renowned tenor James Gilchrist and pianist Anna Tilbrook at the Clarence Hall.

Their performance was a masterclass in musical storytelling — intelligent, emotionally rich, and delivered with effortless grace. Gilchrist’s expressive clarity and Tilbrook’s sensitive, responsive accompaniment revealed the depth of their long-standing partnership and held the audience in rapt attention.

It was a fitting finale to this year’s festival: a reminder of music’s enduring power to move, connect and transform.  

Congratulations to Crickhowell Choral Society for another outstanding event.
