Cerys Hafana is a composer and multi-instrumentalist from Wales. She transforms traditional music and combines it with the unique characteristics of the Welsh triple harp. Her second album Edyf was selected as one of the top 10 folk albums of 2022 by The Guardian. This album is based largely on material found in the Welsh National Library’s online archive including ancient psalm melodies, hymns and philosophical findings about time and eternity. With her musical ability and artistic vision, Cerys brings these ancient sounds to life in a contemporary and enchanting way.

This performance is organized in collaboration with Stichting Folk Groningen.

“Her music is full of emotion and purpose and, when it hits you right, a raw power, which is quite a feat for a harp”– Songlines
