It’s a privilege to welcome Jane Watts here to Canolfan a Theatr Soar, Merthyr Tydfil to perform on the unique organ which has been restored to its full glory.
“Seldom do you hear an instrumentalist so confident and capable as Jane Watts: she demonstrated total self-possession, in addition to ample musical knowledge” - so wrote the reviewer of her recital in Trinity Church, Wall Street, New York City.
She has an international reputation as an organist from Wales who has travelled the world performing in concerts which have brought her great respect and accolades.
“A case of impeccable technique being employed fully in the service of the music, not self-promotion” (The Organ, Spring 2015)
