Composing Belonging is a one-off, live music experience bringing together three artists from across Wales.

Original songs, specialist musicians, and an open Q&A in a welcoming, relaxed setting.

Over an intensive creative week, Yasmine Latkowski (Panedeni), Ayoub Boukhalfa (One World Oasis Choir) and Sera Zyborska come together to share stories, musical traditions and lived experiences rooted in Arabic and Welsh cultures. The result is an evening of new, original songs that will only be heard in this form at this event.

This FREE sharing performance at Tŷ Pawb offers something closer to an open, collaborative music circle. Each artist will introduce their background and influences, perform solo and collaborative pieces, and talk about how the music was created. The evening will end with an open Q&A, inviting audiences into the conversation.

You’ll hear specialist instrumentalists from Arabic and Welsh traditions, rich vocal harmonies, rhythm, and storytelling — and gain insight into the histories, sounds and personal journeys behind the music.

No prior knowledge is needed. Everyone is welcome.

Come to listen, to learn, and to be part of a shared musical experience.

This project is supported by Arts Council Wales.
