Two young musicians treated residents at a care home in Wrexham to a performance which has been described "fit for a King."

Harpist Bethan Conway and flautist Charlotte Thomas, members of the NEW Sinfonia orchestra, performed at Pendine Park care home as a gesture of thanks for support received from the Pendine Arts and Community Trust (PACT).

The trust works to promote cultural and community activities in North Wales, and was established by Pendine owners, Mario and Gill Kreft.

This year, PACT has sponsored the inaugural Pendine Young Musician of Wales contest.

PACT is also supporting the world premiere of a new opera to commemorate the 90th anniversary of the Gresford Disaster, where 266 men and boys lost their lives.

Among the pieces Ms Conway and Ms Thomas performed at Pendine was Gresford, also known as the Miners’ Hymn, which the residents sang along to.

They also played a variety of popular tunes, including songs by The Beatles, Coldplay, and classic Hollywood hits.

Ms Conway said: "It has been a great project for us.

"It’s always a pleasure engaging with the residents at Pendine, they have some fascinating stories to tell and are always keen to hear about our latest music projects."

NEW Sinfonia conductor Robert praised the duo for their natural way of connecting with their audiences.

He said: "I knew Bethan and Charlotte would be the perfect pairing to share our music with Pendine residents.

"They are amazing and have such a natural personable way of interacting with their audiences.

"It's enabled us to take music to those who cannot attend the shows and let them engage with the story on their terms."

Sarah Edwards, Pendine Park artist in residence, said: "We’re hugely grateful to everyone at NEW Sinfonia for arranging for Bethan and Charlotte to perform for our residents.

"It really was a concert fit for a king."

Resident Carole Ball enjoyed the performance, and she said: "They play so harmoniously together it is a real pleasure to listen to them.

"When they played the Welsh Lullaby it sent me into my own little day dream.

"I hope they come back again very soon and perform some more."

Fellow resident Sandra Swift said: "We all thoroughly enjoyed meeting Bethan and Charlotte and hearing such lovely music.

"On behalf of all the residents I want to thank them for coming to visit us, it’s been a real pleasure."
