Music Traditions Wales : Traddodiadau Cerdd Cymru

About Me


trac is Wales' Folk Development organisation; its rôle to promote and develop the music and dance traditions of Wales - both within Wales and beyond.
You can see pictures of some of trac's work in the slideshow below - work such as support for tune-clubs and traditional music workshops, teaching local songs in schools, a day for singer-songwriters with Martin Joseph, international exchanges for young musicians, and many more projects across Wales, as well as lobbying at governmental level. trac provides an information service and e-news, a free magazine (Ontrac), and a website listing performers, events and contacts.
trac came about through a shared belief in the unique qualities of traditional cultures, an awareness of their continuing relevance to the present, and a passion for sharing what music traditions have to offer. It is supported by the Arts Council of Wales.
Sefydliad Ddatblygu Gwerin Cymru yw trac; ei swyddogaeth yw hyrwyddo a datblygu traddodiadau cerdd a dawns Cymru - o fewn Cymru a'r tu hwnt.
Mae lluniau o rai o'n gwaith yn yr ail sleidsioe uchod - gwaith fel cefnogi clybiau alawon a gweithdai gerddoriaeth draddodiadol, dysgu caneuon lleol mewn ysgolion, diwrnod ar ganu-gyfansoddu gyda Martin Joseph, teithiau cyfnewid rhyngwladol i gerddorion ifanc, a llawer mwy o brosiectau ledled Cymru, a hefyd lobio ar lefel llywodraethol. Mae trac yn darparu gwasanaeth gwybodaeth ac 'e-newyddion', cylchgrawn am ddim (sef Ontrac), a gwefan yn rhestru perfformwyr, digwyddiadau a chysylltiadau.
Daeth trac i fod drwy argyhoeddiad amryw o bobl ynglyn â natur unigryw diwylliannu traddodiadol, ymwybyddiaeth o'u perthnasedd parhaus i'r cyfnod presennol, ac awydd angerddol i rannu'r hyn sydd gan draddodiadau cerddorol i'w cynnig. Cefnogir trac gan Gyngor Celfyddydau Cymru.
