about tracthe future of the tradition and the tradition of the future
trac came about through a shared belief in the unique qualities of traditional cultures, an awareness of their continuing relevance to the present, and a passion for sharing what music traditions have to offer. With support from the Arts Council of Wales, trac provides an information service, a free magazine, and this website listing performers, events and contacts.
Nationally, it organises training sessions for experienced musicians, and forums to discuss issues which matter to the folk world. Internationally, trac arranges exchanges for young musicians, and
represents Welsh traditional music in European networks. |
trac is Wales' first Folk Development Agency; its rôle to promote and
develop the music and dance traditions of Wales - both within Wales and
beyond.
On a local level, trac works in partnership with local authorities and
development groups to run projects in schools and communities.
