    Cyfansoddwyr a chomisiynau

    Mae Gŵyl Llanandras yn enwog yn rhyngwladol am gomisiynu cerddoriaeth newydd a chefnogi ystod eang o gyfansoddwyr. Ers 1994, mae wedi gwneud nodwedd arbennig o waith crëwr cerddoriaeth penodol, cyfansoddwr preswyl blynyddol.

    Mae’r Ŵyl hefyd yn ymwneud yn angerddol â datblygu cyfansoddwyr proffesiynol, ar ôl sefydlu cynlluniau proffesiynol ar gyfer cyfansoddwyr gyrfa gynnar, graddedigion a chanol eu gyrfa. Mae’r unigolion hyn yn cael eu mentora’n rheolaidd, eu perfformio ac, yn bwysicaf oll, eu comisiynu gan yr Ŵyl.
