Garwyn and David Edward are the founders of the Magic Tree Collective, a platform for a multitude of creative projects all centered around a core ethos of celebrating the magic of nature through integrating music with art, poetry, meditation, and movement.
The collective cultivates a vibrant eco system of artists and creators in community through a variety of diverse projects bringing together artists from different cultural backgrounds and artistic disciplines. Drawing on folk music traditions, we compose and improvise original music in a variety of performances, events, and festivals with a recent highlight being a project with Sinfonia Cymru.
As a duo, Garwyn and David bring new and re-imagined Celtic folk music with voice, cello, and violin. A range of arrangements of Welsh folk songs and original works that bring in elements of the traditions of their mixed ethnic heritage.
"The Magic Tree Collective ... stunned us with their creative approach to combining classical and folk music. ... an innovative programme of classical music reimagined, creating a truly unique offering ... " - Conwy Classical Music Festival
