 Cerys was artistic director for the World Music Expo (Womex) 2013, when the prestigious event came to the UK. The show, Land of Song, took the audience on a journey through 30,000 years of Wales’ story, music and culture. She created the concept , set the repertoire,  staged and produced the opening ceremony, attended by some 2500 delegates from around the globe.

It was the first time Welsh culture had been presented to a global audience, and Ghazalaw, Mount Stuart Primary School and Georgia Ruth were amongst those chosen by Cerys to perform at the Wales Millenium Centre. You can see a few images from the occasion above and below.
