Concerts at the Crossroads
Cyngerddau ger y Groesffordd

Beulah has a long musical tradition and has hosted many concerts over the years.

However, since 2008 we have put together a regular programme of classical lunchtime recitals which take place on the last Wednesday of the month. The concerts last approximately fifty minutes and the  programme is based on the principle of Classic FM meets Radio 3.

We frequently have RWCMD students to perform for us, and with some of them we have been able to follow their progress over their period of study. Other artists include Welsh musicians or those musicians who have made their home in Wales.

We also arrange the occasional evening concert, followed by a buffet.
