Young Chinese musicians win award at international festival

Founded in 1947, the Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod has grown into one of the world's best-known cultural festivals. It was established to bring different cultures together and celebrate shared values through music, dance and a spirit of peace, according to Dave Danford, artistic director of the festival.

He said the festival's appeal lies in bringing together diverse cultures from around the world through music, dance and singing. Performers from different countries, he added, showcase their unique traditions while sharing the same sense of joy, excitement and connection, creating a vibrant atmosphere for audiences.

As musicians from different backgrounds gathered in Llangollen, the festival once again demonstrated how music can transcend borders and bring people closer together.
