It has been a busy year but we put together an exciting programme of events which can be seen on www.tenbyartsfest.co.uk
Highlights of the festival were Charlie Lovell-Jones, a superb young violinist and a wonderful presentation of Chopin's life and music - a collaboration between myself writing the script, Alberto Bona acting as Chopin's ghost and Costas Fotopoulos, international pianist playing the lovely music including his own composition "Hommage a Chopin" which was also the title for the concert.
Viv McLean, also a pianist gave a fabulous concert and the Budapest City Orchestra treated us to a lively display of Balkan gypsy music as well as some more sombre melancholic pieces.
There were plays too, The Fossil Lady of Lyme, and The Late Marilyn Monroe as well as one about Augustus John, his sister Gwen and Nina Hamnett written by local author Tony Curtis. All three held the audience on the edges of their chairs.
There were also some fascinating talks including my own which I have posted here.
And there were art exhibitions around the town, not least Misrana by Susan Sands a lovely mixture of the different media in which she works and her twin passions for the landscape of Pembrokeshire and life in India.
